Otoharo!
there are some other terms that say something more about reiki. And I use that word for the energy itself.
Resonance. We can decribe reiki in terms of resonance. When we self treat, hands on us, focuses the energy and when we can see the energy, we see the reiki energy as light, and when we put our hands on a spot we see the body's energy as dark. We hold that so that our bodies resonate to the energy and that lifts our body to the level of the light, the dark dissipates and the light takes over. We move our hands to another spot and this process repeats. The same thing happens when we are reiki with another person.
The intent of course, is that it is reiki energy that we are holding and not our own.
