It was developed in early 20th century Japan by Mikao Usui, who said he received 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 as well as gestures in the air, which they say will channel ki energy from a disembodied spirit or spirits. This energy then flows through their palms to bring about healing. Reiki Chants is a beautiful choral album with lush vocals and light instruments, designed to enhance specific aspects of Reiki energy for amplified physical, emotional, mental and spiritual wellness and healing. The different chants are each encoded with the energy of the Reiki symbols. Jonathan Goldman is an authority in the field of sound healing and a pioneer in the field of harmonics.
