Customer Reviews

Excellent Resource!

This book is wonderful - absolutely wonderful. I discovered Amy's book in 1999. It is what inspired me to become a Reiki Master/Teacher. I read it from cover to cover as soon as I bought it. Her down-to-Earth writing style keeps you engaged, and she easily explains Reiki, and how it can help you in your own life.

Essential for your reiki library!

Amy has done it! I am currently writing a doctoral dissertation on reiki and this is the best reiki recource book I have found! As a reiki practitioner, it is evident that her stories add depth and help paint the true picture of the art of reiki. Thank you for this wonderful reference. It is the most comprehensive reiki book on the market today.

The gratitude shows through

From the first paragraph I was drawn into this book. Having just become a first degree practitioner, I felt an amazing sense of gratitude for the special gift that I have been allowed to share. While the way my master taught me is somewhat different from what was described, respect for differing approaches was embedded within the writing. A great deal of information was presented with an accepting attitude for differences. The true spirit and love of Reiki was apparent.

A comprehensive & loving explanation of this amazing power.

This would be the book I'd recommend to anyone first interested in the subject and to those who have been attuned. It is a loving treatment of the subject that sticks closely to the subject, and unlike other books on Reiki, comes with no baggage or axes to grind...just information of Reiki, its healing power, and the application of this power. This book has the best mental preparation for the student, by example, for the loving healing power of Reiki. Highly recommended.

Very Informative Read!

Reiki Master, Amy Rowland, takes you step by step through Level I and II classes. She discusses the history behind this ancient healing method, and detailed hand positions are clearly shown through pictures as well as text. The section on practical human anatomy is excellent and goes a long way in relaying what ailments are helped by each hand position. This book serves as an extensive practice manual for students. The author even discusses how to establish a professional practice, so TRADITIONAL REIKI FOR OUR TIMES is also compelling reading for anyone who might consider teaching this wonderful healing art. Anyone who is interested in Reiki must own this book!
