REIKI RYOHO (the method of applying Reiki) is the art of hands-on healing by means of channeling the energy of the universe, and it is both a healing art and a spiritual practice.

Firstly the mind must be healed, and secondly,
the body must be made sound.
If the mind is healthy, conforming to a path of integrity,
then the body becomes sturdy of its own accord.
--  Usui Mikao (1865-1926)
