Although this practice dates back some 2500 years, it's a relative newcomer on the Western healing scene. In this beautiful, practical step-by-step guide the reader is introduced to all aspects of this fascinating therapy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for introduction to the art of Reiki, June 29, 1999

By A Customer

I am a Reiki practitioner in the US. I would recommend this text to any person interested in the basic concepts of energy medicine and complementary medicine. The author gives very understandable and tangible explanations of many abstract concepts associated with this holistic modality. It is a great introduction to Reiki.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book for Reiki beginners, August 2, 2000

By A Customer

This book is one of the most interesting I've read. It's an excellent source of information and exercises for Reiki beginners. It might look as a coloring book already colored because of all the illustrations and beautiful pictures it has, but they relax you and help you to understand the Reiki "hands-on healing" technique. If you know nothing about Reiki, this is an excellent book to start with.
