Reiki (pronounced ray-key) - the language of light, is a laying on of hands healing technique thousands of years old. It is thought to have originated as a Tibetan Buddhist practice that was rediscovered in the late 1800's by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist. It is a very simple technique yet very powerful that can be easily learned by anyone.

Rei - refers to Spiritual Wisdom. I believe that this is the wisdom that comes from the Universe, or our Higher Self.

Ki-  refers to the Life Force. It is also known as Chi in Chinese, Prana in Sanskrit, and Mana in Hawaii.
