 "Rei" is defined as universal life force and "Ki" is defined as energy. Therefore, Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is Universal Life Force Energy that can be used for all purposes and conditions, anytime and anyplace, for anyone or anything. Reiki is a pure and natural energy that exists in all of us but needs to be reawakened to balance and harmonize the body to enable it to heal itself naturally. Reiki does not replace other medical or healing modalities — in fact, it enhances them. Reiki is a safe non-intrusive, peaceful and gentle way to balance the mind, body and soul.
Though Reiki is spiritual in nature it is not a religion. Reiki is Universal Life Force Energy that works with all life forms and all energies whether one believes in it or not. It does not dictate or control or harm, rather it works for the highest good of all. Because Reiki is Universally guided, it knows where the negative energy is and it knows exactly where to go and what to do to promote the body's innate ability to heal itself. Reiki will flow to these areas and will release the negative energy or transform it into positive energy. While the client remains fully clothed, the Reiki Practitioner uses a simple hands-on technique to channel Reiki to help reduce stress, to encourage deep relaxation and to promote healing.

Reiki is an ancient Asian healing modality that was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui on Mount Kurama in Japan in 1914.
 Usui-sensei, as he was referred to by his students, spent seven years working with the poor people of Kyoto. He then moved to Tokyo where he started a healing society named Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, which means "Usui Reiki Healing Society". He also opened a clinic where he taught classes and gave treatments.
Usui-sensei practiced and taught Reiki until he suffered a stroke and died on March 9, 1926.
In 1927, his students erected a Memorial on his behalf in Tokyo, Japan.

Written in Kanji, part of the inscription on the Memorial reads:
Memorial of Usui Sensei's Virtue...
"One day Usui-sensei climbed Mt. Kurama, where he began to do penance while fasting. Suddenly on the twenty-first day from the start he felt a great REIKI (Universal Life Force Energy) over his head, and at the same time as he was spiritually awakened he acquired the REIKI cure. When he tried it on his own body and members of his family also, it brought an immediate result on them. Having said, it is much better to give this power widely to a lot of people in the world and enjoy it among them than to keep it exclusively by his family members, Usui-sensei moved his dwelling to Aoyama Harajuku, Tokyo in April 1922 and established an institute, where the REIKI cure was instructed openly to the public and the treatment was given too. People came there from far and near to ask for his guidance and cure, and they overflowed outside, making a long line"...
"The phase of life is very changeable in these days, and people's thoughts are apt to change, too. Could we fortunately succeed in spreading the REIKI cure everywhere, we feel sure that It will have to be very helpful in order to prevent people from disordering their moral sense. It never extends people nothing but the benefits of healing long term illness, chronic disease and bad habit"...
"The number of pupils who learned from Usui-sensei amounts to more that 2000 persons. Some leading pupils living in Tokyo among them gather at the training center and take over his work, while other pupils in the country also do everything to popularize the REIKI cure. Although our teacher already passed away, we have to do the very best to hand the REIKI cure down to the public forever and spread it much more. Ah! What a great thing he did; to have unsparingly given people what he had felt and realized by himself"...
