Jikiden reiki is the traditional Japanese form of hands on energetic healing. It treats conditions that vary from physical injury or illness, addictive tendencies, psychological ailments or spiritual disquiet. By focusing positive energy or Chi on the affected area reiki clears the blockage allowing energy to begin flowing freely thus promoting healing and an increase in vitality. If one can accept that matter is simply energy vibrating at different rates the technique begins to make sense. Rather than treat the biological condition, reiki treats the energetic. It is a complimentary modality and will not interfere with any medications or other treatments the receiver may be having.
