5.0 out of 5 stars Good Book! Practitioners must!, March 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Reiki Handbook: Basic Introduction and Methods of Natural Application: A Complete Guide for Reiki Practice (Shangri-La) (Paperback)

This book explains Reiki Very well. The pictures are done a very spiritual way. ALL the hand positions are also explained. Too many times I have seen books that leave out the positions that close to or are over the private parts. Even though these are not hand positions that should be used on every client, it is important to show these postitions for treatment options. The realation to the Chakras and Reiki are very important. Walter has done an excellent job tying the two together and explaining how they react together. (because they do!) Good Book for practitioners!!

This review is from: The Complete Reiki Handbook: Basic Introduction and Methods of Natural Application: A Complete Guide for Reiki Practice (Shangri-La) (Paperback)

I received my Reiki (pronounced Ray Key) Master/Teacher certificate last year, and am a member of the GRMA (Global Reiki Masters Association). After receiving my M/T certificate I started reading Reiki related books in hopes of finding one or more that I could recommend to the students that come my way. Unfortunately this book isn't it! I have the following problems with this book. 1. In the illustrations both the Reiki practitioner, and the person receiving the Reiki treatments are shown nude. If a Reiki practitioner ever asks you to disrobe, walk out and contact the authorities. 2. This book shows some inappropriate hand positions. A Reiki practitioner should never touch private areas of the person receiving the treatment. In fact; with level II or above Reiki practitioners need not touch the recepient at all. 3. A complete lack of the symbols used with Reiki. 4. A complete lack of directions of passing Reiki attunements. 5. This book delves into subjects that have absolutely nothing to do with Reiki such as divination by pendulum, and others. I don't like to write harsh reviews like above, but I see it as a duty to caution others that come after me about questionable material. If you have questions or comments about Reiki or other related sbjects feel free to contact me by E-Mail

5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderful book, March 6, 2000

After seeing this book at a Reiki workshop, I have since purchased it and all of Walter Luebeck's Reiki books. They are excellent, and his love and tender care taken towards the subject shine through with tremendous clarity. As for the nudity, I'm not bothered a bit; Mr. Luebeck indeed has a disclosure in *all* of his books that the pictures are for clarity only, and to make sure that it is crystal clear where the hands are placed. I do not practice in the nude, nor would any of my clients wish to receive with either of us nude. That said, the pictures do impart a warm, non-sexual innocence, and reinforce how powerful and natural this work is.
