Practiced throughout the world. Used in hospitals, private practice, self-care, and in conjunction with many other therapies.Reiki teaches us that pain, suffering, and illness are caused by separation from the oneness of creation. In other words, it is our loneliness, our feelings of isolation, that cause the pain and suffering. We are on a planet spinning around a solar system and we don't really know where we are going. To most people this is such a frightening realization that it is far easier to completely block it out and focus their attention on something less immediate.
