So, Reiki may well be the latest in a long line of la-la fads, but in truth it is well worth taking a second look at this latest alternative health trend. The Reiki system of healing is a unique way of harnessing and transmitting energy through the hands. It originated in the 19th century, and is gaining popularity as a way of bringing relief to a wide range of physical and emotional imbalances, maintaining a tried and tested method which takes the student on a slow journey towards self-discovery.
If that all sounds a little off the wall, Empower Your Life With Reiki goes some way towards demystifying a healing system that claims to energise your whole being, improve your relationships and help you to take control of your life.
By looking at the basics of Reiki, offering explanations of what it is and how it can help the individual to focus, and then going on to explain the principles that make it work, Reiki is explored through the eyes of a teacher working with students. Richard Ellis explains each step clearly and concisely, talking the reader through the main principles and encouraging them to use Reiki as a way of raising self-awareness and taking control.
Fascinating stuff, by no means simple, but certainly worth looking at more closely, Empower Your Life With Reiki is an accessible introduction to an ancient art that could make all the difference to your life, and the lives of those around you. --Susan Harrison
Synopsis
Reiki can help improve physical and emotional symptoms from minor complaints to more serious conditions. A Reiki practitioner is used as a channel for energy, which is passed through his hands to the recipient, activating the body's natural ability to heal itself. In this way, the patient's natural balance is restored, both physically and mentally. It is important that potential patients and students learn the nature of this therapy, what they can expect from it and how they can learn to do it themselves. This book addresses all of these issues, and with the help of over 200 illustrations, it explains what Reiki is and how it is taught, learned and practised.
