The Usui System of natural healing by Dr. Mikao Usui is actually a rediscovery of an ancient Japanese healing art. Reiki uses universal life force energy (Rei) to balance, align, heal and restore the energetic pathways of the body restoring the flow of chi or "life force energy".

Chakras, meridians and nadis comprise the energy body, and when these centers are out of alignment or clogged with old emotions and traumas, it is like the garden hose that has a kink in it; no water can flow through. Reiki opens the energy channels and brings the system into harmony and alignment, resulting in healing at every level, emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually.
