Format:Paperback
After having taught Reiki for seven years,and practiced Reiki for ten years, I have read a lot of Reiki books , many have been disappointingly repeatative or to esoteric. This is one of two books I highly recommend to my students, the other being Diane Steins book, Essential Reiki. This book is well written by seekers of the genuine roots of the Reiki Healing tradition. If you want to understand the mind of Mikao Usui Sensai a little better, I think these writers have revealed the truth. I learned a lot myself and am very satisfied with the techniques taugh here. The author's reveal the origional manuals and techniques taught by the founders of this tradition . Is has been great confirmation of ideas I have intuited in my own practice and has taken me further up the road of my own spiritual path.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
These three authors have created a superb Reiki book, one of the very few available that discusses the factual history of Reiki. The history is important if one is to understand what Reiki is, and what it's not.
They write a good deal about what Reiki is, in fact, including procedures and practices not easily found elsewhere. They thoughtfully include pictures, diagrams, and careful descriptions that assist those who are unfamiliar with these forms of Reiki.
This would have rated five stars, had they sought out a better editor and included an index. These three authors deserve a better treatment of their work: the errors were distracting. An index is almost a must-have for a book like this--I will have to settle for sticky-note bookmarks for important passages or subjects.
Buy it anyway. It's one of the best Reiki resources I've seen, and it should be on the bookshelf of every teacher and practitioner.

Format:Paperback
This book carefully examines the roots of Reiki healing and the nature of energy healing, from a metaphysical and scientific perspective. It provides many beneficial insights and explanations, covering everything from chakras & subtle energy layers to shamanism, the meridians, and Taoist theories of yin/yang & 5 elements. In covering so much, the authors address some issues that need to be covered in more depth. For example, the chakra color associations listed are misleading, and the elements described are just one system which is not compared to other common metaphysical/alchemical systems. Nevertheless, this book is about the best at putting Reiki in a suitable context and explaining how and why it produces healing and transformation.
