Reiki Healers can now uncover false beliefs that might be holding them back from their maximum healing power. This book will also help you make informed decisions about Reiki if you are thinking about becoming a Healer or considering Reiki sessions with a Healer. You also will discover which Reiki False beliefs have the potential for harm! Here are a few of the Reiki False Beliefs that Steve exposes and explains: Reiki is unique and different, Long Distance Attunements do not work, Reiki Symbols should be kept secret, Reiki Symbols have a power of their own, Reiki lineage is important, Christians do not use Reiki, Hawayo Takata revived the dead, Reiki should not be used with pregnant women, Reiki has to be taught in person, plus much more, including more than 100 illustrations of Reiki Traditional and Non-Traditional Symbols from various Reiki systems.

From the Author
The book and its contents might upset a few Reiki Masters for various reasons and for that they should not buy it. I have heard all the reasons they might have and I disagree with all of the reasons, respectfully. The book was not published for this group. It was published for Reiki (that can include Masters) and Non Reiki people seeking information and guidance. I believe there should not be any secrets in regards to Healing and Reiki.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reiki Uncovered, February 15, 2007

By	Luna Rayo "lunarayo" (New York) - See all my reviews

This is the 4th book in Steve Murray's Reiki Series... I have to say when I bought it I was wondering what possible information could he add that he had not already covered... But, I bought it anyway as I loved his other 3 books and each of those had surprised me too...
I found to my delight this book was just as hard to put down as the other 3... This book is packed with insightful information about Reiki that you won't find in another book (trust me on that one), one of the reviewers stated that perhaps linage made a difference in the price you paid to become attuned, and that even if that were true, it wasn't worth the extra money... That almost sounds like this system is less powerful because it's not directly passed down from the proper Linage - after Steve's book you won't ever question if Linage is more powerful again - I look at it this way; even if you're not a Christian - everyone knows the Story of Christ, (I think) lol and, can ONE honestly say that Christ would charge you 10,000 dollars to be a healer? Can you honestly say to a mother (Struggling and poor) trying to support and pay for the medical bills of a sick or dying child from a horible illness such as Cancer or many other illness, that she could not become a Reiki Healer to help her
child because she can't afford the high prices it takes to become a healer? I don't understand this kind of thinking... Steve brings to us a way to receive a divine power that isn't in us - we simply channel it - so why can't we get it the same way Usui Did? I believe Steve Murray is that channel to help spread the gift of healing to the thousands of
people who need it... This 4th book clears up so many misconceptions about Reiki and what it is and is not, and will open your level of thinking because once we stop analyzing, or taking in new information, the sooner we stop learning. Steve Murray quotes a Buddha quotes in the beginning of this book, one of my favorites:
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense." Thank you Steve Murray for another beautiful book to help those of us on this journey that don't have 10,000 dollars to find the way to enlightenment, and offer healing's to those we love...

5.0 out of 5 stars Calling a Spade a Spade, October 31, 2006

By	Todd Borandi - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Reiki I and II classes I took with a Reiki Master were very shallow. I had a thirst to understand and asked a lot of questions, which seemed to be met with unrelated stories that did nothing but frustrate me. I think part of my problem is I have been a teacher for 15 years and teachers are always the worst students. My fallback plan was Google which has a lot of awesome information that started to fill the gaps. The problem there is that the information conflicted depending on the site, and some of it just plain felt wrong. This book affirmed a few things that I had felt were right, but do not have the experience or years under my belt to jump to such conclusions. This book helped me in that respect and while I found myself being dragged down a road that would have made this appear to be a new "religion" this book brought it back to what Reiki was meant to be in its purest form.....In my opinion.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book tells all, December 2, 2006

By	Kevin C. Cooper - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

After two years of attending expensive Reiki classes with a local Reiki master, I discovered Steve Murray's books and DVD's. I was very skeptical at first, as I was told that Reiki had to be taught in person, distance attunements were not effective, Reiki symbols were secret, it takes years to learn to give Reiki attunements, and many other false beliefs. I purchased Steve's first book and attunement DVDt hinking it was a scam, certainly too good to be true. Now, I can't begin to tell you how wrong I was! The first book not only explained everything I had learned in two years, but it also debunked all the false beliefs that Reiki was a long, complicated, and costly process. It also explained how to pass the attunements, which most Reiki masters will not disclose. The attunement DVD was awesome. I will never question the effectiveness of a distance attunement again. I am not a very religious or spiritual person, so if it worked for me, it can work for anyone. Since then, I have purchased all 4 of Steve's books and all 5 attunement DVD's. Steve has truly made Reiki available and affordable for everyone! The attunements are powerful and the books get right to the point, covering an amazing amount of material in a short time. Without these books, it would take many years of research to learn all of this information. Everything you will ever need to become a Reiki master is packed into these books. They are a must read for everyone interested in Reiki healing. Whether you are a beginner or a Reiki master, these books will enhance your abilities. I believe they will be the best investment you will ever make. I wish I had known about Steve Murray's books and DVD's a long time ago.
