In Japan, where it was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 1900's, it was a way of achieving enlightenment.
It allows you to heal your self and others by the laying on of hands.

It is not a religion or cult and has no religious affiliations.

There are many versions of how Reiki came to the Western world and as many variations on how to teach and learn it.
Be open to all methods and be mindful while you are using Reiki.
