The original book about Reiki -- a practical students' workbook and essential reference manual for all Reiki practitioners, and acclaimed teaching aide for Reiki Masters of the Usui Shiko Ryoho system of healing. The only Reiki manual reviewed and approved by Virginia Samdahl, the first Occidental to attain Reiki Mastership. Jam-packed with invaluable information about Reiki, and renown for its extensive section devoted to Reiki therapy of animals. ( each copy via AMAZON.COM will be personally signed by the authors.)
This is the first reiki book I ever read and I have to say that it is ok, except for that stupid story about Mikao Usui being a bible student. (Chapter 1 The Reiki Story as told by Virginia Samdahl)
I love this reiki handbook and I'm sure I will refer back to it for years to come. I am working towards getting my certification in reiki healing and this book was a great simple approach to the practice. I would recommend for anyone interested in reiki. Includes background history, personal experiences and step by step guidance. Great for students, practitioners and teachers alike. Five Stars.
It's on my recommended reading list for Reiki students. One thing that is meaningful to me is that the photos of hand positions picture the hands of Virginia Samdahl, who is now in spirit. She was Mrs. Takata's first Reiki master and she taught my Reiki master teacher.
