Product Description
If you have always thought that Reiki was wonderful but "something was missing," then join us in the adventure of resurrecting the rest Reiki. This book contains the channeled words of Wei Chi, a 5000 year old Tibetan monk and one of the original creators of the healing system which we, today, call Reiki.

Wei Chi delineates the philosophies and methods which were not brought forth by Usui, making Reiki more holistic, cause-oriented and client-centered. Hailed by Reiki practitioners and teachers across the country as empowering, provocative and transformational. Not to be missed by anyone interested in energetic healing.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very useful, August 28, 2001

By	David Rain "random reader" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The amount of useful information in this book could have been condensed into a booklet of a few pages. I'm sure it must be thrilling to channel material directly from someone who claims to be one of the inventors of Reiki, but the authors essentially use their book to postulate that they have the real secrets of Reiki and that attending their workshops is the only way to get the correct techniques as they were originally intended. The only new information that the book provides is based in common sense and obvious to anyone who has practiced much, anyway: First, clients must accept responsibility for their own health --Reiki is intended to be a helping step, not an ongoing "crutch" for people who want someone else to "fix" them. Second, the symbols don't inherently contain any power, they are only a technique for the practitioner to focus his or her energy. Neither of these ideas are a big surprise to anyone who works with the body and healing energy, of any technique or school, whether it is Reiki, Healing Touch, or even simple prayer therapy. It isn't that I dislike this book so much, it just isn't particularly helpful. And if the authors are going to condemn the Usui school for using Reiki to make money, they should at least provide a little more useful information in the books they are selling, rather than promote their own business endeavors. The irony is too obvious to ignore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Student of Reiki-Future student of Wei Chi Reiki, February 13, 2004

By	"dor8" (Nashville,TN) - See all my reviews

As a 2nd degree Reiki student who was in the midst of deciding what master Rekie teacher I would use for the rest of my teaching I found this book extremely interseting and informative. After reading the negative reviews and actually having the Wei-Chi Reiki used on myself it is obvious to me that these people are not as enlightened as they wish to think, for negativity of that level is unhealthy and not of the energy that this teacher would want using his work. I have been exposed to this new element of Reiki and found it to be extremely powerful. I will be working with these teachers prior to getting my Reiki Masters so that I will have more to offer the community.

4.0 out of 5 stars Buy it.... And decide for yourself..., January 12, 2003

By	NRgeticHealer "Healer on a Quest" (Atlanta, GA. USA) - See all my reviews

In reading the "not so good" reviews below, I could swear that I hear a little entrenched dogma rearing it's head.

Having been in various forms of energetic healing now, including Reiki (3rd degree), and having taken the time to compare, I did find Reiki to be "missing something"... and that "something" (lack of client participation) is zeroed in on like a laser in this book. (Do Reiki "masters" really just want clients to walk in, lay down, remain silent, and leave as soon as the session is over? What about the client making conscious decisions and participating in their own recovery... gaining the experience of finding out how to empower themselves in the process...?) It's a simple concept, which takes only a few words to explain, which is why this book is so short.

As much as I like what the book has to say in that regard, I'm not a trusting fan of channeled information, having seen some real "quacks" channel. So you'll get no polyanna "it's celestial!" from me. And I found myself skimming over most of the "enthusiastic criticism" of current Reiki by "Wei Chi". (The truly enlightened people I've met stay focused on the good and let the "bad" fall by the wayside...)

So, I'm not so sure about the authenticity of the "source"... but the message speaks volumes that all energy workers would benefit from paying attention to.
