5.0 out of 5 stars How healing can be integrated in a medical practice, October 31, 2004

By	Daniel J. Benor "DB@wholistichealingresearch... (Bellmawr, New Jersey) - See all my reviews

Jerri Mills is unusual on at least four counts.

First, she is a physician who has developed her own healing gifts and uses them in her practice of obstetrics and gynecology. Mills initially studied shamanic and Native American healing, then Reiki, and found that the healing would "turn on" automatically as she ministered to the women in labor and delivery at her hospital. This came naturally to her, as she describes herself as being a "hands-on" person, who intuitively comforts people with ordinary touch (in addition to touch required for medical examinations). Women who were in pain and who had difficult labors would find their problems rapidly eased with the healing. Being a physician, her observations on the effects of healing are more understandable and authoritative than most non-physician healing reports.

Second, Mills was a veterinarian prior to studying medicine, so she also shares reports of successful healing with animals.

Third, she has had the courage to speak openly to her colleagues and to write about her experiences. Her colleagues have responded with mixed reactions, ranging from warmly approving her use of a modality that markedly benefits her patients, through surprised questioning to learn more about healing, to questioning whether she should be doing this.

Fourth, she writes clearly and convincingly about approaches to using healing and its benefits.

This book is warmly recommended to anyone interested in how healing can be integrated in a medical practice.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Read on Reiki, December 27, 2003

By	Marc S. Cwik (Las Vegas, NV USA) - See all my reviews

I have read dozens of reiki books since learning this profound healing technique five years ago. I would rate this as one of the best books on the subject, because it is one of the only books to show how reiki can be integrated into mainstream medicine, and used in conjunction with allopathic medical treatments. It also does a good job at demonstrating the limitations of traditional western medicine. You don't need to spend thousands of dollars on conventional treatments, since reiki can achieve similar, if not better results, without any invasive treatments. Please buy this book if you are thinking of trying reiki. You won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best Reiki book on the market, November 6, 2001

By A Customer

Having read numerous books on Reiki and a student of metaphysics for over 30 years I encourage anyone who is interested in self healing and healing others to read Dr. Mill's book. Dr. Mills writes with a style that many authors never acheive. The ability to write for both the novice and Reiki Master. Reading this book may be the best thing that has ever happened to you.
