This review is from: Teach Yourself Reiki (Paperback)

I loved this book of course you have a master give you the initiations. The book has a lot of wonderful exercises that are meditations.
The author tells of her journey and is faithful to the traditional Reiki telling both the old story of Dr Usui and some of the new story.
Keeping with tradition the symbols are not printed but there is ample explainations of the use and transference of the symbols.
This book is worth having and I am glad that I bought it. It would be a good book to give to students when they receive the first degree. There is so much info for a small book.

This review is from: Teach Yourself Reiki (Teach Yourself: Health & New Age) (Paperback)

The title of this book may put some people off, a 'Teach Yourself' manual.

The book is the ideal primer for people new to Reiki and experienced practitioners alike. As a Reiki teacher of three years standing, I feel that this book addresses most of the concerns that enquirers come with and as they progress through the degrees. I particularly liked the down to earth writing style and presentation.

This book is far from being lightweight in it's treatment of this remarkable and versatile energy therapy approach. I have read a dozen books on Reiki all of which have their strengths. THIS is the text which I recommend. Thank you for giving us this encouraging gem of a book.

This review is from: Teach Yourself Reiki (Paperback)

This is only the second book I've read about Reiki. The title of the book is very misleading. After I bought the book and read it, I found out, according to the author, one needs to be taught by a Reiki master. Therefore, you cannot teach yourself Reiki. Do not waste your money on this book if that is your intent.
