6: Understanding Reiki: What it is and What it Does


“I understand that if you are completely new reiki, to spirituality outside of religion, that that sounds a little...wacky. I understand that and I'm okay with that, because I have seen the proof of what reiki can do. Reiki is becoming more widely known and accepted because of the results that people feel. ”
