Reiki is one of the more widely known forms of healing through direct application of this energy.

Just as modern physics says this energy is affected by thought, the mystics also say this underlying form is affected by thought.

This energy is the natural energy used by Reiki practitioners. The Reiki healer has access to this energy in a more powerful way because the attunements he or she receives clears the blockages from the body’s energy channels. The attunements also give an increase in the healer’s own life energies and connect the person to the source of Reiki. This source could be called anything the healer pleases, the Goddess energy, God, the first Source, etc. Reiki is not connected to any religion, so please call it what you like
