Secret revelations!, September 6, 2000
This review is from: Essential Reiki Workshop [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Diane Stein's Videos will be the best you will purchase. They give you her approach to Reiki (Modern) and thru the 4 volumes actually teach you not only the hand positions for healing, but also how to attune others...the actual practice of it and attunement sessions for all three levels! She discussed here, as in her books, ALL the secrets of Reiki. Naturally, you will not be able to BE attuned to Reiki through these videos, nor will you be able to attune others (unless you are properly attuned to the Master level) but for the Reiki practitioner, these videos are essential. To the newcomer to Reiki, they are also of great use. Ignore the insufferable sexism and wiccan references, all people bring to Reiki their own baggage for eventual discard. However, there is no better set of videos available than Diane's Essential Reiki Workshop Videos. She is earthy, practical and dynamic.

Library Rental & very glad I did, October 10, 2006
This review is from: Essential Reiki Workshop [VHS] (VHS Tape)
To start with I have already taken Reiki I & II classes in a weekend session years ago & though I didn't feel anything during, my ability increased dramatically over the months.
I suprisingly loved them. She doesn't hold back on any knowledge she has in her pursuit for the truth about human potential & healing. She's wiccan which comes up, but you can ignore anything about that topic if you aren't into it. As she says after any wiccan comment, Reiki isn't about any religion. In the history she goes back to Jesus that maybe he was using Reiki & Tibetian possible influence to it being lost over the centuries the more widely taught of the 1800s founder Dr. Mikao Usui & how it got passed down.
She shows hand positions, how energy works, chakras, stories of miracle healings both told from her & what people have told her & the students reasons for coming after their own miracle healings by other Reiki practitioners.
She isn't boring, it's just a home camera capturing much of a weekend course of Reiki I II & III & all the symbols.
She goes deep into that the Reiki foundres form the 1900s & early 1900s had different ways of drawing them & using your insticts. That before you are attuned to Reiki any can do healing, but you use your own energy & can get exhusted easily & while the person you're healing feels great after, you have their ailment if not properly rooted. With Reiki, you don't have to worry about that any longer & everytime you heal, you get healed as well. I found this to be true for myself in the past.
There is more, each of the 4 videos is about 90 min long.

Been wanting the set for a long time, but didn't want to spend a lot for them. Found a great deal, and they are in excellent shape. Thanks
