What does REIKI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A form of alternative therapy in which a practitioner is said to channel healing energy into a patient through light touch of the hands.
Reiki developed in Japan in the early twentieth century and rests on the idea that a practitioner can direct a universal life energy into someone else simply by holding their hands near or on the body. Sessions are usually calm and quiet, with the recipient lying still while the practitioner works through a set sequence of hand positions. Mainstream medicine treats reiki as unproven, though many hospitals now offer it alongside conventional care as a relaxation therapy. The word itself combines Japanese characters roughly meaning universal and life energy.
