Customer Reviews

I think it is a great handbook

As a student Reiki, I was referred to this book. As a now Reiki Master, I recommend it to students, or anyone wishing to understand this great Universal Healing Energy that we all have. It has short chapters, that are in depth, with illustrations. It is not the end of all of Reiki knowledge, but Richard Ellis has packed as much as he should have into this easily transportable book. It is sturdy, and has flaps, built into the book, at either end for bookmarking. A great tool for Reiki Masters, and an easy to understand book for newcomers to Reiki.

A Stepping Stone

Richard Ellis' fine introduction into the world of Reiki was just the beginning of a change for my family and myself. It was clear, to the point, and unpretentious; allowing me to understand the world of Reiki though this was the first time I was reading about it. "Practical Reiki" motivated me to get initaiated as soon as possible, so you can imagine my elation when I found that two Reki Masters reside in Istanbul where my younget son lives. This informatiuon came to me several days before my wife and I were on our way to visit him and spend our holiday in Istanbul. The three of us were duely initaiated and I moved on to the second level while my wife and son decided to wait before they did the same. I can sincerely and unequivocally say that this experience has changed our lives. I am aware that I have written little about the book. This is because I didn't feel the need to get into any details that the reader will undoubtadly realise by himself. The title says it all: "Practical Reki," this book does not stray into topics that Reki afficionados can only understand. It is a book for all and any who wish to enter, or at least get a glimpse of the wonder that Reki offers. For me it was an inspirartion, a beginning, a stepping stone into a new and fulfilling world. Thank you Richard Ellis NAMASTE

A clear view of Reiki

In comparison to other,better selling guides, this book excels in that it keeps to the topic at hand, namely, Reiki. The descriptions are thoughtful, the illustrations and photographs beautiful and appropriate. A great book for beginners, as it doesn't bring in confusing and conflicting viewpoints as I have seen elsewhere. Those who already know Reiki, and have other books, may wish to add this to their collection just to see how such a book should be done. Perfect for use during discussions with clients.

inspirational

after reading several reiki books, this is my favorite. Although not an advanced book, it's very hard not to pursue interest in reiki after reading. The author presents a focused and updated view of reiki without the exotic or mystical imagery. The photos are well produced and the writing style is very digestable. My wife and i are already searching out further reiki instruction
