Is a form of spiritual healing and spiritual practice proposed for the treatment of physical, emotional, mental and spiritual diseases. Mikao Usui developed Reiki in early 20th century Japan, where he claimed to receive the ability of 'healing without energy depletion' after three weeks of fasting and meditating on Mount Kurama. Practitioners use a technique similar to the laying on of hands, in which they claim to be channels for energy.

I know many people that have tried Reiki, yet it seems like a pyschological cure more than anything else, can anyone who experienced this or know more about the subject enlight me? Thanks.
