Reiki is a spiritual practice developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui, which has since been adapted by various teachers of varying traditions.
It uses a technique commonly called palm healing or hands-on-healing as a form of alternative medicine and is sometimes classified as oriental medicine by some professional medical bodies.
Through the use of this technique, Ramon believes that she is transferring universal energy (i.e., reiki) in the form of qi (Japanese: ki) through the palms, which she believes allows for self-healing and a state of equilibrium.
