Zenreiki is reiki that claims the energy healing practice known as reiki originated in Tibet and India long, long ago. According to Alexis at zenreiki.com, zenreiki "opens a pure channel from your crown chakra to the heart and out through your hands." The process allegedly attunes people to reiki energy and elevates consciousness. It allows you to channel energy that will empower you with reiki for the rest of your life.
