This review is from: The Gift of Reiki (Paperback)

I have been teaching Reiki for many years using different books, finally there is a book that is clear and has all the correct information in a format a beginner can understand. This book explains the Reiki story so clearly without disclaiming the original story that appears in most other Reiki books. The pictures of the hand placements are wonderful and I like the additional placements also. I believe the stories throughout the book add a special dimension showing the flexibility and depth that Reiki can be used. This book has taken the number one position in my Reiki library. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This review is from: The Gift of Reiki (Paperback)

This book offers the gift of Reiki to all. It is a solid teaching tool for Reiki classes as well as a how-to for self healing. Included are testimonials offering new insights and ideas gleaned from the actual experiences of those using Reiki both on self and others. The book incorporates spiritual wisdom from many traditions in support of the healing process. The layout, combining illustrations and text, makes the techniques easy to visualize. Less is more yet it is all there and works in harmony presenting history, technique, and healing in one easy-to-use source. I sometimes just open the book and reread the wisdom notes for inspiration. It is gentle; it is spirit.
