Practical Reiki: Focus Your Body's Energy for Deep Relaxation and Inner Peace
Reiki, the simple laying-on of hands, can channel life-empowering energy and heal physical and emotional ailments! By focusing on the seven chakras--powerful centers throughout the body that interact with an ocean of energy--the ancient art of Reiki activates the body's natural ability to cure itself and restores its natural balance. Rise through the three levels of Reiki, at each stage passing through initiations and encountering sacred symbols. Learn how energy travels through the hands and how to perform a foundation treatment that consists of 16 positions--or treat someone to a shorter, quicker version. Use thought as energy to work on conflicts at home or the office, and develop a deeper sense of empathy. With information on curing specific conditions, guidance on meditation and exercises to raise self-awareness, and ideas for creating a healing space, you'll be well on your way to a life-altering experience. 128 pages, 7 1/2 x 10 1/2.

This is a great book for trainers to offer to their clients/students. It is very visually pleasing and adds a lot of informational tidbits that benefit/enhance Reiki.
Utilizing colors & chakras with Reiki offers a clear benefit to anyone who has worked with these skills and concepts individually.
Although my choice of books for recommended reading to my Reiki students is Diane Steins "Essential Reiki". It is a much more 'technical' approach. Practical Reiki on the other hand offers what seems to me a more lighthearted soft approach and is a great asset to Reiki students. Preferably I would have my Reiki students have both of these books in their library.
