4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent tool for students and teachers of Reiki, December 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Reiki at Hand (Paperback)

Reiki is a word comprised of two Japanese words, ?Rei? meaning universal and ?Ki? meaning ?life force/energy? when combined the work means ?Universal Life Force?. Reiki has its origins in ancient Tibet, some scholars say it is at least 5,000 years old. Over time the technique was forgotten. However, in the late 1800?s, it was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Monk. In the last 5 years there has been phenomenal growth in the number of people learning and using Reiki worldwide, some estimates put the figure at over 1 million practitioners.

The author, Teresa Collins is highly experienced both in conventional and complimentary medicine. She is a fully qualified Physiotherapist who worked professionally for many years in Canada before returning to practice and teach in Ireland. The book covers all the essential of aspects of Reiki training from beginner to Master level and it?s clear, concise style makes ?Reiki at Hand? a valuable resource for students and teachers alike. I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in learning more about this ancient and powerful healing technique.

1.0 out of 5 stars not very well written, July 16, 2003

This review is from: Reiki at Hand (Paperback)

i think this book could have been written much better. it is not too good for someone not familiar with Reiki. it is confusing and not very thought out.
i prefer to recommend books such as william rand's or richard ellis.
i have been teaching for 2 years and i would never give this book to a student.
