Whether you are just starting out on your reiki path or perhaps you are an experienced practitioner, this is a must have book that has plenty to offer, and one which i would highly recommend. Each chapter is easy to read and follow,and contains a multitude of treasures. The book begins with the origins and theory of reiki, before exploring each of the three degrees of reiki in turn. Hand positions for treating self and others are clearly illustrated, alongside various techniques such as mental healing,and distant healing which are all easy to follow. I particularly enjoyed the section on reiki for common ailments, and a wonderful section on healing the spirit that contains an array of personal development practices. For those wishing to set up a reiki practice or integrate reiki with other complimentary therapeutic modalities there is some useful information on this. There are a myriad of reiki books on the market, buy this on and you will not be disappointed.
