Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Reiki, the simple laying-on of hands, can channel life-empowering energy and heal physical and emotional ailments! By focusing on the seven chakras--powerful centers throughout the body that interact with an ocean of energy--the ancient art of Reiki activates the body's natural ability to cure itself and restores its natural balance. Rise through the three levels of Reiki, at each stage passing through initiations and encountering sacred symbols. Learn how energy travels through the hands and how to perform a foundation treatment that consists of 16 positions--or treat someone to a shorter, quicker version. Use thought as energy to work on conflicts at home or the office, and develop a deeper sense of empathy. With information on curing specific conditions, guidance on meditation and exercises to raise self-awareness, and ideas for creating a healing space, you'll be well on your way to a life-altering experience. 128 pages, 7 1/2 x 10 1/2.

5.0 out of 5 stars A clear view of Reiki, April 5, 2000

By	S. Way "Foodie" (Poughquag, NY USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

In comparison to other,better selling guides, this book excels in that it keeps to the topic at hand, namely, Reiki. The descriptions are thoughtful, the illustrations and photographs beautiful and appropriate. A great book for beginners, as it doesn't bring in confusing and conflicting viewpoints as I have seen elsewhere. Those who already know Reiki, and have other books, may wish to add this to their collection just to see how such a book should be done. Perfect for use during discussions with clients.

5.0 out of 5 stars inspirational, April 4, 2000

By	Krisann Badics (pa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

after reading several reiki books, this is my favorite. Although not an advanced book, it's very hard not to pursue interest in reiki after reading. The author presents a focused and updated view of reiki without the exotic or mystical imagery. The photos are well produced and the writing style is very digestable. My wife and i are already searching out further reiki instruction

5.0 out of 5 stars A Stepping Stone, October 22, 2000

By	Ziyad bosnak (Istanbul, Istanbul Turkey) - See all my reviews

Richard Ellis' fine introduction into the world of Reiki was just the beginning of a change for my family and myself. It was clear, to the point, and unpretentious; allowing me to understand the world of Reiki though this was the first time I was reading about it.

"Practical Reiki" motivated me to get initaiated as soon as possible, so you can imagine my elation when I found that two Reki Masters reside in Istanbul where my younget son lives. This informatiuon came to me several days before my wife and I were on our way to visit him and spend our holiday in Istanbul. The three of us were duely initaiated and I moved on to the second level while my wife and son decided to wait before they did the same. I can sincerely and unequivocally say that this experience has changed our lives.

I am aware that I have written little about the book. This is because I didn't feel the need to get into any details that the reader will undoubtadly realise by himself. The title says it all: "Practical Reki," this book does not stray into topics that Reki afficionados can only understand. It is a book for all and any who wish to enter, or at least get a glimpse of the wonder that Reki offers. For me it was an inspirartion, a beginning, a stepping stone into a new and fulfilling world.

Thank you Richard Ellis NAMASTE
