Reiki · definition
A Reiki approach in which the practitioner keeps their hands above or near the body without physical contact.
How the term is used
It may be chosen for preference, comfort, boundaries, sensitivity, or practitioner style.
Why it matters
It makes the service more understandable for clients who do not want touch.
A note on evidence
No-touch Reiki should still be framed as a complementary spiritual/wellness practice rather than a medical intervention.
Reiki + Energy-Practice Disclaimer
Reiki is offered as a complementary spiritual and wellness practice. It is not used to diagnose or treat disease and should not replace medical or mental-health care.
Traditional and practitioner language about energy, chakras, attunement, distance Reiki, or related concepts should be understood within the spiritual and Reiki framework in which they are taught, not as established biomedical anatomy or mechanisms.

Where this fits in a practice
The guides explain the idea in context; the service pathways are there when reading is not enough. Educational content only — nothing here is medical or mental-health care.
