4.0 out of 5 stars Good overview, August 14, 2002

By	Jacques Rall - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I think that this book serves as a very good and encompasing overview of Reiki. It does not mention a specific Reiki, but it covers all areas of Reiki. It covers from what Reiki is, how to use it, how the levels of Reiki differ, healthy lifestyle, healthy food recommendations and 27 hand positions and their significance. I have more Reiki books, and this is Reiki in a nutshell. Very colourfull pictures on everything it says, and shows pictures to further the explanation. This book is a healthy 4 starts.

The book was a gift for someone else, who's a Reiki practitioner. I didn't read the book, but she's very happy with it. The book was delivered quickly & was in excellent condition.

Great job -- Thanks.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Little Reiki Overview, August 4, 2003

By	Jed Shlackman (Miami, FL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is a very small book that packs in a lot of information and ideas about Reiki, while including a good amount of color photos. This book is not comprehensive, but is intended to be a good overview of what Reiki is and how you can learn this practice. This is a valuable text for those new to Reiki and looking for an inexpensive book about Reiki that is easy to carry with you.
