An Introduction to Reiki: Healing Energy for Mind, Body and Spirit

by Mary Lambert, Chris Parkes

The Japanese art of Reiki involves the laying on of hands to alleviate physical and mental pain-and this beginner's guide explains how anyone can become a healer using this powerful, and increasingly popular, form of massage. Large-size color photographs display the 12 basic positions, which focus on the body's spiritual centers (or chakras ) to remove blockages and balance energy. With a touch, relieve respiratory problems, weaknesses of the immune and circulatory systems, stress, migraines, and other common complaints. See how to combine reiki with crystal and color therapy, and how to work on babies, children, the elderly, and even pets. It's the ideal reference.

A nice simple guide to something that has always intrigued me.

As a beginner's introduction to the system, this was a good book. It gave a brief history, an overview of the methods used, as well as (for the most part) easy instructions with lots of pictures. Enough to whet my appetite for more and make me want to see out a more comprehensive book (or teacher).

I read this in preparation for attending a one-hour workshop presented by a local reiki master and teacher.
