Format:Paperback
I bought this book after doing a First Degree Level course in Reiki. Chris and Penny Sparkes closely follow the Japanese Usui Reiki sytem, as taught by many Reiki masters in the UK.
The book outlines healing techniques and hand positions for Reiki, and the types of conditions which can be successfully treated with Reiki.
They also clearly advise beginners in Reiki to go to a qualified Reiki Master (take advice from the Reiki Association of Great Britain - address in their book) for classes and Reiki courses.
The book is very correct in its practices and advice, for both Reiki Levels 1 and 2; and having done both levels with an Usui Reiki Master, I have no hesitation in recommending this book for those interested in taking up Reiki. It is an excellent practice for healing and meditative purposes! Good Reading!

I first read this book at least eight years ago when I was at the beginning of my Reiki journey. I found it accessible, easy to read and digest and practical.
Recently I took my Reiki 3 course and so I am technically a Reiki Master/Teacher. I attuned my 87 year old mother to Reiki and bought her a new copy of this book. She's enjoying reading and using it and it's great to talk with her about Reiki and to know she is really using this lovely book.
I thoroughly recommend it to both experienced and beginning Reiki practitioners.

A terrific Reiki guide with the best picture of Dr. Usui
2 July 2005
Format:Paperback
The information in this book is absolutely fantastic. It has 14 chapters which cover: 1) What is Reiki?, 2) The History of the Usui System of Reiki, 3) How Reiki differs from other healing methods, 4) Reiki for personal healing, 5) Reiki Treatments, 6) Combining Reiki with other methods of healing, 7) Other ways of using Reiki, 8) Reiki with chronic illness, 9) Reiki for self-development and spiritual growth, 10) The First Degree class, 11) The Second Degree class, 12) The Third Degree or Master's Training, 13) How to find a Reiki Master 14) Becoming a Reiki Practitioner.
My favorite parts of this book is the best quality and largest photo of Dr. Usui which gives true meaning to the saying "A picture is worth a thousand words." The section about when not to use Reiki (don't give after a pre-operative anaesthetic has been administered or during an operation. And much more info I'll need to know as a nurse.) Also, I learned "If a person is suffering from a particularly severe complaint, it might be wiser to avoid the problem area completely for the time being, allowing the energy to flow through from the other areas and reabalance the system in that way." Unfortunately I learned this after the fact of touching the upper arm of my pastor who had rotator cuff surgery. I had to stop because he was so tense me getting anywhere near his shoulder. Also I should have asked first if I could do Reiki which I also learned in this book. There is just a world of information inside! My very favorite part I will write out as it is only a paragraph on page 72 but I've used it and it is so powerful I can hardly believe it!
"Using Reiki to Balance the Chakras: Sitting in a chair, place one hand on the forehead and one on the back of the neck. Then place both hands on the shoulders. After this, place one hand on the chest and one on the back. Next, place one hand on the solar plexus and one hand on the corresponding position on the back. Finally place one hand on the abdomen and one hand on the tailbone. This short treatment will balance the chakras effectively."
Note: I did this exercise [above] as a first level healer and it worked just as strong as where I am now at second level! It really works! Try it after having/viewing an attunement. A good attunement dvd I recommend is the Reiki: First level attunement by Steve Murray offered here at Amazon. o8E
Soar!

This one is essential reading!
16 July 2003
Format:Paperback
One of the best books on Reiki. It is packed with useful information and is very enjoyable to read. I loved it and gave three copies to friends who have just taken Reiki. They have found it very helpful. It shows you creative ways to use Reiki, combine it with other therapies and get the most out of it. The authors write in a lively informative style. They clearly have a passion for Reiki and can inspire others to improve their lives through its practice.
