Reiki
(霊気 or レイキ?, English: /ˈreɪkiː/) is a spiritual practice developed
in 1922 by Mikao Usui. After three weeks of fasting and meditating
on Mount Kurama, in Japan, Usui claimed to receive the ability of
"healing without energy depletion". A portion of the practice, tenohira
or palm healing, is used as a form of
complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Tenohira is
a technique whereby practitioners believe they are moving
"healing energy" (a form of ki) through the palms.
There is no scientific evidence for either the existence of ki or
any mechanism for its manipulation, and a systematic review of
randomized clinical trials conducted in 2008 did not support the
efficacy of reiki or its recommendation for use in the
treatment of any condition.
