Reiki is a Japanese palm healing treatment that purports to be able to help move and direct the flow of energy through the body. Reiki is currently offered in some hospitals and by many independent practitioners as a complementary therapy technique or as an alternative medicine treatment. The main career path in Reiki is that of the Reiki practitioner. As a Reiki practitioner, you meet with clients to evaluate their needs and develop a therapy plan by laying hands on their body. Since Reiki is not a recognized scientific healing process, you may have trouble finding jobs in established health centers. Most jobs are available with full Reiki practices.
