Reiki is a Japanese healing practice that involves the use of symbols and hand positions to channel universal life energy (Reiki). Practitioners often use specific symbols that represent different aspects of healing, such as emotional healing, distance healing, and spiritual growth. The symbols are typically introduced during Reiki training and are used to enhance the practitioner’s ability to focus energy and intention. The practice is generally intuitive, allowing practitioners to adapt their approach based on the needs of the recipient.
