5.0 out of 5 stars Expanding Reiki treatments within traditional methods., February 5, 1998

By 

Karen Sue Schwarz - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rainbow Reiki (Shangri-La) (Paperback)

Rainbow Reiki by Walter Lubeck is a sharing of ideas that I as a Reiki Master Teacher has been looking to find for some time. It gives definition to the ways Reiki can be a major tool for healers trained in Reiki as well as other healing methods. It is a book I will highly recommend to those students I teach who desire and have the ability and responibility to receive training beyond Reiki. This book also keeps the respect towards Reiki teachings we commited to as Master Teachers, in a factual, loving and sometimes humorous way, without the stuffiness many Reiki Master Teachers have assumed. I highly recommend this book to all interested in healing.

4.0 out of 5 stars A wealth of wisdom and of technique, January 7, 2003

By 

Biran Sefar (Gooding, ID United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Rainbow Reiki (Shangri-La) (Paperback)

Rainbow Reiki by Walter Lubeck sets forth with the intent, according to the subtitle, of "expanding the reiki system with powerful spiritual abilities." This amazingly short, at 175 pages, text extensively explores the vast expanse of rainbow reiki technique and application. This thorough examination of the topic will prove beneficial to the reader with only minimal difficulty.

Walter Lubeck , a Reiki Master and author of several books, including The Complete Reiki Handbook, Reiki--Way of the Heart, and others, is the founder and director of the Reiki-Do Institute. He has developed rainbow reiki as a means of incorporating additional alternative healing modalities, such as channelling, astral travel, reiki essences, and others, into synergistic combination with reiki healing. As a synergism of the parts, this expanded reiki method promises to supply the practitioner with a wide range of potent techniques.

Most Reiki practitioners will probably feel quite comfortable within the world of Rainbow Reiki. Lubeck is quite thorough in detailing both the history of Usui reiki and the development of rainbow reiki. The prerequisites for performing the techniques he offers are explained in great detail. As the reader moves forward through the text, she will find chapter after chapter rich with techniques, ranging from aura and crystal techniques to uses of mandalas and power vortices...and much, much more. Perhaps few will be able or inclined to use or master all that is offered in this book; but everyone is sure to come away from reading it with at least a few new practices to add to their repertoire.

The difficulties with Rainbow Reiki are minimal. Stylistically, Rainbow Reiki is written in a somewhat dry, academic tone that some readers may find difficult to endure. Nonetheless, perseverence will reap rewards for the diligent reader. The only other point of issue is that Reiki I practitioners may feel left out since most of the practices of the book are specifically directed for use by more advanced reiki practitioners. This need not be the case, however, if the Reiki I reader uses this book to spur them on to advancement to higher levels and as a means of familiarizing themselves with some of the practices that await them as they advance.

In conclusion, Rainbow Reiki, though moderately difficult to read, is well worth the effort for the sheer wealth of techniques so extensively explained in its pages. Few, if any, other books are available to explore the world of reiki and specifically rainbow reiki in such breadth and depth

5.0 out of 5 stars A Treasure of a Book, April 28, 2000

This review is from: Rainbow Reiki (Shangri-La) (Paperback)

This book finally brings together a real way to use many tools of healing while giving a Reiki treatment. I highly recommened it to my Reiki students who are on a healing path. It is easy to read. It lets us realize how simple and easy it is to be a healer when our own ego is not involved.
