5.0 out of 5 stars "Everything" Lives Up To Its Name, March 1, 2004

This review is from: The Everything Reiki Book: Channel Your Positive Energy to Reduce Stress, Promote Healing, and Enhance Your Quality of Life (Everything (New Age)) (Paperback)

I have a veritable library of Reiki books and this one leaps over the mass of them. It's an incredible book. It answers just about every Reiki question that might come up in a practice, for beginners and well-established practitioners. Consider it sort the Physician's Desk Reference for Reiki people, answering such questions as standard rates to charge and the pros and cons of various types of attunements. But it also covers all the basics, from hand positions to explanations of the branches of Reiki. In short, it really is an "everything" book about Reiki. It really lives up to its name.
But it also goes beyond that. It manages to explain Reiki in a way that people who aren't familiar with it can understand, as well as give experienced practitioners advice and "nuggets" of information they might not have found without quite a lot of research. If you have a loved one or friend who wants to know "Just what is this Reiki stuff, anyway?" you can refer them to this book without a lot of esoteric language or nebulous ideas. Like I said, it's really incredible. A great piece of work.
This one definitely goes in my list of suggested reading. With a star!

This review is from: The Everything Reiki Book: Channel Your Positive Energy to Reduce Stress, Promote Healing, and Enhance Your Quality of Life (Everything (New Age)) (Paperback)

The Everything Reiki Book serves not only as a perfect introduction to Reiki for those who are new to the subject, but a comprehensive handbook for students and practitioners alike. The book is clear, simple and straight-forward, yet contains a depth of understanding and wisdom. It really does cover everything to do with Reiki - just reading through the table of contents reveals the complexity of topics which have become associated with what started out as a very simple teaching. Desy has managed to give a birds-eye view of the whole subject, as well as practical details and down-to-earth advice on every topic covered. She states that Reiki is all about balance, and she demonstrates this perfectly as she deals with various issues in the Reiki community, including controversial ones, with a balanced perspective.
Desy makes it clear what is unique to Reiki as opposed to other energy healing systems. While her deep appreciation and enthusiasm for Reiki are clear, she acknowledges that being able to use universal life energy for healing is not exclusive to Reiki. She even includes a chapter on other energy-based modalities. One can substitute the term "energy healing" for "Reiki" in many places throughout this book and find that the same principles hold true. Thus the book is valuable for students of any energy healing modality.

The authors' standard of excellence shines through in this book. She's infused it with the Reiki "love" energy she writes about. One can feel it by just picking up the book. I highly recommend this for not only the beginner, but also as a valuable reference for the more advanced student. I especially like the many view points presented. It makes Reiki accessible to everyone.
