Reiki (Ray-Key) is a Japanese healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing by enhancing the natural flow of life force energy throughout the physical, energetic, emotional, and spiritual bodies.

If your life force energy is high and balanced you are vibrating on a level of peace and clarity allowing you to be at your highest potential.
