It is part of the strength of Reiki that people who follow this master will probably still be able to do Reiki, but as someone to whom facts are important everything in this book is wrong. I have never seen a reiki book with so much folly.

Every symbol is named differently from anywhere else I have seen.
Every symbol is drawn differently from anywhere else I have seen.

He includes the symbols for what is supposedly 'Krona' reiki. It's actually called Karuna, and all those symbols are wrong too-i learned it from William, and am a sr. licensed teacher for the Intl Center for Reiki Training who developed Karuna)

He talks about the 12 most common Reiki symbols as if they are all equal. He does not even talk about their having been 4 original symbols, and that all others have been channeled by others since.

He tells students you don't need to recieve attunements for Reiki1&2..Also quite wrong.

There is no awareness anywhere in the text that the outlandish things he is saying are his creations, they are all presented as if they are accepted fact.

Unfortunately, the book is well designed, and looks authoritative. Astralog should have checked their facts before letting this one on the shelf.

I do know what im talking about.
I have been teaching Reiki for 10 years, and examined many Reiki books. I have spent time in Japan and spoken to Reiki masters there and meditated upon Mt. Kurama and seen for myself the origin of the Reiki symbols. I have spent a great deal of time in the last ten years talking to masters from other lineages about their symbols, about their understanding. This book shocked me.

Please don't honor this book by buying it.

This book is a waste of paper. There are inaccuracies all over the book, and I found it infathomable that someone would try to pass off this information as being in any way useful to anyone. I am also a Reiki Master Teacher and Gendai Reiki Shihan.
