A good reference for self-treatment approaches.

[Luminea · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an extremely thorough and helpful book for anyone who wants to heal themselves on all levels and learn to use Reiki in a variety of ways. The author provides specific exercises and insights into how we can heal ourselves on a physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual level using Reiki techniques as well as other complimentary tools such as meditation, visualization, crystals, etc. I really appreciated how the author focused in on these different aspects of self and showed what a diverse and powerful tool Reiki can be. Penelope Quest really explains the Reiki system as Mikao Usui originally intended it to be, a tool for personal growth and self healing, instead of the modern emphasis on treating other people with Reiki, which is really a secondary benefit and focus. I intend to buy a copy of this book as I will refer back to it as a great resource in my ongoing journey of healing and self-discovery.

I’ve had this book from the library for 2 months. It’s got a LOT of information and it has taken time to go through the practices. I finished reading it, but I’ll need to buy a copy to keep on hand.

The information is good, but the format could be better. It would be better as a workbook or with the information broken out into separate chapters and lists that can be photocopied, making it easier to follow the steps.

I felt as if I would need to create my own notecards or record my own audio files to make this information more useful.

Reiki is a holistic therapy that encourages spiritual growth and awareness. This is an introductory book that explains the history, philosophy and essential basics of Reiki Self Healing. Where among other things, there is discussion of auras, chakras, the life force and the energy body. Reiki appears to be a very subjective discipline that best be learned from a Reiki Master or qualified teacher.

“ Interesting”
I think that completes my reiki books, this one had some repeats in from the past book I had brought.
Was some more information and pictures on healing yourself.
I’ve been practicing on myself and I do believe it’s helped my pains I’ve been having so I’m glad I learnt it even though I no it’s not legit with no proper training and Attunement if still has been some useful knowledge to know.

I meditate to some Reiki Angelic music on YouTube and have had some wonderful mystical experiences. I've been thinking about going for some actual therapy for quite some now and decided to read a book and gain more insight. I found this book to be very informative. There are lots of different ways and techniques to administer Reiki Healing.

I only read chapter 1 through chapter 4 of this book. The rest of the book is pretty much about the reiki techniques which I'm not interested in at the moment. Anyway, what I read was a good introduction.

[Sherain · Rating 5 out of 5]

The first time I read this book was in 2005. I was so taken with it, I booked myself onto Penny Quest’s next Reiki 1 course. This was one of the best gifts I have ever given myself. I have read this book several times since. I find it a great reminder about various self-care techniques using Reiki. If You are new to Reiki or want to use it as a daily spiritual practice, this book is a wonderful guide.

[Kosjitov · Rating 2 out of 5]

Imo, you are better off served getting her other book which reads more like a training manual. This feels very much like rehash and I was very much disappointed. The few sections that were "new" sort of try to bring reiki into a scientific light. The author however, in previous work, had a more metaphysical outlook to it. I believe trying to bridge the gap is too great a task as it stands.

[Laura · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very interesting and informative, even for those already practicing Reiki (I practice Level 2). I go back to this book as it's full of gems of inspiration and a really good read.

[Gregory Heeter]

I need to read more books on this subject and schedule a Reiki session with a local Reiki master

[Michelle Wilson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great introduction

[Elise · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great first two chapters...it was great for understanding how Reiki works. Unfortunately, I don't think I am really into Reiki....but its a great book for doing Reiki, if you want to.

[Sharen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Insightful with excellent and clear explanations.

[Elizabeth · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was an intro to Reiki for me, and although that's not really what it is intended for, it gave a good overview of what the purpose of Reiki is.

[ShaylaZero · Rating 5 out of 5]
