Review

A very educated author. Margaret Lee Lyles has a broad and varied personal background, and it shows through in her book. It addresses the potential conflict some might see between religion (trusting God) and Reiki (doing it yourself), and she offers thoughts about Reiki that I have seen nowhere else. Her historical background of Reiki also is quite detailed and interesting. An aside: I loaned this book to my mother, who has kept it and shared it with her friends. She refuses to give it back. --Nick Sortal, Sun Sentinel, Florida -- www.Reiki-Bookshop.com, August 2004 --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Review

Margaret Lee Lyles takes on a sometimes-difficult topic in her book, "Reiki and You," that is, Reiki from a Christian perspective. Sub-titled "An Ecumenical Guide to Energy Healing," she refrains from "Christianizing" Reiki, but views the traditional Usui System teaching and stories througha Judeo-Christian understanding. This can be reassuring for those who feel Reiki troubles the waters of their faith. -Barbara McDaniel, USA editor --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: Reiki and You: Awakening the Healer Within (Paperback)

This book has got to be a God-sent answer to prayers of Christians struggling to reconcile their beliefs and the practice of Reiki. I know of no other book which I have read puts it across so clearly and yet so enjoyably. It tells how the wonderworking miracle power of God can work through all who are willing to be His channels. Simply a must-read for every sincere truth seeking, God-loving Christian who wishes to be a channel for God's goodness at this time and age.
