I am a level 2 Shamanic Reiki student /practitioner which means I can work with my friends and family at no charge. I was drawn to this book because I really loved the cover! I love it! I still love it!
Traditional reiki is a little different from what I know, but am I dedicated to a thorough education. Overall a useful book for the curious.

If you've experienced the mutual exchange of energy amongst friends and people you met on a casual basis then you appreciate the connection between all in the universe.

That sounds spiritual but it isn't. Think of times you've crossed paths with someone having a bad day. They might have ruined your day if you let their negativity overwhelm your outlook.

I like this book because while the above principle is simple the book takes you into greater levels of awareness of the energy.

I like Shuffield's honesty of Reiki being unregulated with a few variations on its origins. She is clear in explaining reiki isn't a religion and is clear in reiki recognizing and embracing spirituality.

Simple descriptions of effective energy and de-stressing exercises. I've added a few to my birth classes. Always something new to bring to others!
