I got this as a free download from Hay House. I had a Reiki I attunement in 2013 and was curious to read this as a refresher. It fit that bill, but I'm not sure who the target audience is for this book. To use Reiki, you need to take Reiki I and receive an attunement. If you've taken a Reiki class, this is all review.
As a Reiki practitioner for many years, I wanted to retune myself and had been searching for suitable material(s) to help me.
This book is the perfect resource! Lange introduces the history and background of Reiki without mystifying it and explains the techniques and underlying rationales in simple, easy-to-understand language without being patronizing.
It’s obvious that the writer tried to keep the language of this book “friendly” to portray Reiki as welcoming and such, but for my personal taste it was a bit too informal at some points. However, I learned so much from it. I’m attuned but my now ex-master was so negligent, most of the book was new knowledge for me. That’s why I gave it 4 stars, but it is a 3 really.
A perfect book for beginners who want to know how and where it all began told in clear simple language. Very good job of showy the reader how we all can benefit from Reiki in our everyday lives.
