Book Description
Everything you need to reach the first level of Reiki practice
Product Description
Reiki is a unique system of healing that allows you to harness and transmit energy through your hands, restoring balance and harmony within the body and bringing relief to a wide range of physical and emotional problems. The book illustrates all the hand positions used for the first level of Reiki, but it goes much further and shows them in their relation to the seven chakras. Chakras are the main energy points of the body and provide the anatomy of energy healing. These are different for everyone, and so to practise Reiki really effectively you need to understand a person's chakras, which will in turn explain the type of person they are and the health problems they are vulnerable to. For example one person may have an excessive first chakra, making them prone to obesity or digestive problems, and to pessimism, while another may be deficient, making them vulnerable to anorexia and restlessness. You would therefore approach these two people differently. Richard has captured the feeling of wonder that surrounds Reiki, but it's also immensely practical. So many of the current books available are very dry, following a formula of detailing the history then showing you how to do it. This one breaks the mold and is written from a very personal point of view, which makes it incredibly interesting to read and also very accessible, essential if you are to understand the true nature and potential of Reiki.

From the Author
this is the second book that I have published on Reiki and it's release has coincided with the first book 'Empower your life with Reiki', being sold out. It is still available with it's US title Practical Reiki, just a different cover.
In the new book I have tried to convey not only the wonder of the healing art of Reiki but also the ancient theory of the chakras. I have found through my own research into chakras that I have gained a great insight into the workings of the human mind and emotions. The chakras offer us a fascinating model through which we can see the human development potential and conversley where we can get stuck.
It was my aim to offer the reader a book that could be referred to at any time by opening it at any page as well as a book that could be read from cover to cover. I feel I have achieved that.
Part of my reason for wishing to write something here was to thank those people that wrote reviews on my last book. It is amazing to read that somebody in turkey's life has been touched by something I have written and prompted them to learn Reiki. For me it makes it all worthwhile, Thank you again.
