Nature has gifted our bodies with an inbuilt mechanism to heal itself. The hands, especially, have immense healing capability. That hands possess innate healing power is evident in an Atharva Veda verse: “Gifted with the divine power, our left hand is empowered to heal skilfully by removing all barriers in the free flow of joy. The right hand is still more powerful and dexterous as it contains all the divine gift of therapeutic capability — the healing touch of which ensures detoxification, harmonisation, well-being, joyful life and salvation. Our healing hands possess 10 healing fingers branching from them...”.

    The inherent healing power of the hands has been deftly exploited in various drugless therapies including Quantum Touch, Acupressure, Su Jok, Shiatsu (Japanese from shi, meaning finger, and atsu, meaning pressure), pranic healing and Reiki. Amongst these, Reiki, the ancient healing system rediscovered by Mikao Usui in early twentieth century Japan, is popular worldwide as a way to treat physical, emotional and mental disorders.

The word ‘Rei’ means universal and ‘ki’ means life-force energy or the prana. Reiki simply involves tapping into universal life-force energy and laying on of hands on a few body areas. Once you have learnt the technique, and you have gone through an attunement process whereby you are able to source the universal life-force energy, you can channel its amazing power through your hands, to heal yourself or others, just by intent, as and when desired.
