Dr. Mills speaks to our minds while opening our hearts to the magic and mystery of healing. -- Howard Silverman, Author of "Healing Ceremonies"

From the Author

Since I was young, whenever I felt frustrated by the limits of contemporary society and western medicine, I found solace dreaming myself into the worlds of science fiction and fantasy. My favorite authors had created societies filled with magic, worlds where the characters had the ability to heal with their minds and with their hands. In 1993, shortly after moving to Tucson Arizona, I discovered that the that object of my dreams could be part of my reality in this lifetime on this planet. "Tapestry of Healing" recalls the events that led me to discover and develop my own abilities as a healer. It recreates my journey as I integrated Reiki and other ancient healing techniques into the daily practice of medicine in the hospital and the office.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Reiki book on the market, November 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Tapestry of Healing: Where Reiki and Medicine Intertwine (Paperback)

Having read numerous books on Reiki and a student of metaphysics for over 30 years I encourage anyone who is interested in self healing and healing others to read Dr. Mill's book. Dr. Mills writes with a style that many authors never acheive. The ability to write for both the novice and Reiki Master. Reading this book may be the best thing that has ever happened to you.

5.0 out of 5 stars How healing can be integrated in a medical practice, October 31, 2004

By 

Daniel J. Benor "DB@wholistichealingresearch... (Bellmawr, New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tapestry of Healing: Where Reiki and Medicine Intertwine (Paperback)

Jerri Mills is unusual on at least four counts.

First, she is a physician who has developed her own healing gifts and uses them in her practice of obstetrics and gynecology. Mills initially studied shamanic and Native American healing, then Reiki, and found that the healing would "turn on" automatically as she ministered to the women in labor and delivery at her hospital. This came naturally to her, as she describes herself as being a "hands-on" person, who intuitively comforts people with ordinary touch (in addition to touch required for medical examinations). Women who were in pain and who had difficult labors would find their problems rapidly eased with the healing. Being a physician, her observations on the effects of healing are more understandable and authoritative than most non-physician healing reports.

Second, Mills was a veterinarian prior to studying medicine, so she also shares reports of successful healing with animals.

Third, she has had the courage to speak openly to her colleagues and to write about her experiences. Her colleagues have responded with mixed reactions, ranging from warmly approving her use of a modality that markedly benefits her patients, through surprised questioning to learn more about healing, to questioning whether she should be doing this.

Fourth, she writes clearly and convincingly about approaches to using healing and its benefits.

This book is warmly recommended to anyone interested in how healing can be integrated in a medical practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars best book since janeAnne Narrin's One Degree Beyond Reiki, January 27, 2003

By 

Edward A. O'Donnell (Edmonds,, WA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tapestry of Healing: Where Reiki and Medicine Intertwine (Paperback)

Not since janeAnne Narrin's book, One Degree Beyond, A Reiki Journey Into Energy Medicine has there been a book with such heart. Here (in the heart of the writer) you can find the very essence of what Reiki is all about.
