Reiki is not a massage, though I have to say that after the treatment I felt better than I ever have after a massage. Reiki is a form of spiritual/energy cleansing. Emotions and actions and thoughts have energy, and those little bits of energy cling to us. I've been holding on to all sorts of cr@p that isn't mine, and the reiki treatment was a way of releasing it.

I think it started in Japan; it's one of those Eastern practices that I don't quite understand, used to make fun of, and now totally buy into because I see it working. Placebo? Perhaps, but if it's working, who cares? The research in quantum physics actually supports a lot of what eastern medicine has been claiming for years.

Here's a link that has a much better description than I just gave:
