From the Author
New information about the origins of the Reiki power.
Currently living in Japan has enabled me to comprise five years of heartfelt research.This book is the result of much news about Dr. Usui, his personal life, the Japanese Reiki movement and those who came after him.
The book also features a 'new' photograph of Dr. Usui, a translation of the memorial stone erected at his grave in Tokyo as well as a lot of so far unknown facts. Maybe the most striking discovery is that Mr.C. Hayashi never was Dr. Usui's successor as is currently believed in the West... --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

'Reiki Fire' is a classic amongst Reiki books. Most people read it early on in their Reiki journey, and I was no exception...Knowing little about the subject, I found it engrossing, inspiring and pleasantly down to earth. Frank Arjava Petter writes with an affable enthusiasm for his subject, drawing on his own life experiences to demonstrate the power that Reiki can have in your life, if you let go and allow it to work.
So, several years down the line, I find myself buying and reading it again (my own copy having disappeared on a very longterm, probably permanent, loan). I'm delighted to say that it still inspires me. The 'fire' that Petter predicted has certainly spread throughout the world, and along with it a plethora of genres of Reiki and associated books.
What I really like about 'Reiki Fire' is the lack of self absorbed pseudo-spirituality which pervades so many New Age and alternative books. Reiki is actually very straightforward - certainly it can be dressed up in all sorts of ways - but Arjava describes it in its pure form. His research into its history is legendary. Before 'Reiki Fire' all sorts of outlandish folklore was rife (and accepted) as to how Reiki was re-discovered. Petter's very thorough research in Japan blew many of these myths out of the water, much to the chagrin of some steadfast upholders of the 'old' stories. Well you can't please all the people...
So whether you're just setting out on your own Reiki adventure, or, like me, you've been treading the path for a while, I'd thoroughly recommend 'Reiki Fire' as an essential text. Trust me though - put your name in it.

What a breath of fresh air for the disicpline of Reiki this fine work from Frank Arjava Petter represents! Not only does he scotch many of the myths and invested misinformation floated by some sections of the Reiki world, he opens abundantly the possibilities for spiritual expansion within the practitioner. Reiki Fire steps ahead of the possibilities offered by W.L. Rand with its broard spiritual vision, clearly showing that the personal development of the Reiki practitioner is his first duty. BRAVO FRANK PETTER!! This book is a must!! Anand Neehar Reiki Master

Format:Paperback
Given that Reiki is not something that can be learned from a book, most Reiki books contain basically the same information, re-hashed in various ways. "Reiki Fire" is the only book I've come across that is genuinely ground-breaking. Frank Petter's research into the origins of Reiki is authentic and enlightening, and really puts the current political squabbles over lineage into perspective. Quite apart from that, it's a first rate practical Reiki manual, covering everything you need to know. The author shows a deep level of spiritual understanding, and gives some valuable insights and wise guidance. The book is a fairly slim volume compared to some, but only because it is clear, concise, and free from waffle. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Rebsie M, Reiki Master
