I learned the traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho treatment of Dr. Mikao Usui back in the 90s.
In layman's terms, I suppose you could say that this is a version of "the laying on of hands" that the Bible talks about...in a way. But there is no salvation offered or demanded. No overwhelming bunch of people trying to make a demon come out of you...
Just the giving of the flow of the Universe and the channeling of energy to heal.
There are some rituals that you do go through before giving a Reiki treatment, but to me, the most essential is this: That you are in the giving frame of mind as a "conduit", and that you channel healing energy from the Universe through yourself- through your hands- to the person or animal that you are working with for "their Greatest and Highest Good."
Depending on how you were taught, you may touch the person physically with laying your hands upon them (or just above them, not touching) on their Chakra regions starting at the Crown, then proceeding to the 3rd Eye (brow), Throat, Heart, Solar Plexus, Spleen and Base Chakra.
Each Chakra point corresponds to a vital energy of physical, emotional or spiritual residence. By clearing and balancing these areas, it opens up the Chi (Qi) to flow more freely throughout.
Here are some ways that each may be blocked and how they are when strengthened:

I have used Reiki for various reasons. To help take away pain of an ailing person or pet, to help relieve stress, to help aid with sleep, to calm nerves. Harry & I used Reiki a lot on our dog, Monty, when he was recovering from surgery. You can literally feel the heat release from a stressed area, and it gets hot under your hands -even if you are 6 inches away from the afflicted area!
We are energy.
If we get blocked due to emotions, environments or illness, it may be compounding problems.
Take some time for yourself.
Have your Chakras aligned with love, by having a Reiki treatment.
You will feel more relaxed and health will start to flow through you so that you may heal others.
Namaste.
