Mikao Usui
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive.
What Reiki is...

The founder Mikao Usui was influenced by the religions of his country, Shintoism and Buddhism.

Self observation confirms the traditional esoteric knowledge of all cultures that there are seven layers of human energy - seven Chakras. The seven different energies correspond with the seven realms and functions of consciousness, their organic points of gravity, and seven areas of potential.
