El arte curativo conocido como Reiki, tiene como fin equilibrar y armonizar el cuerpo a través de la trasnmisión de energía que el practicante canaliza por medio de sus manos, y que a su vez despierta la propia energía sanadora del paciente tanto a nivel físico y mental como emocional. En este libro, el autor nos ofrece una perspectiva de la práctica del Reiki basada en su propia experiencia de varios años en la que utiliza un recorrido a través de los chakras que permite un profundo desbloqueo de los mismos. Su sistema, basado en el Reiki tradicional del Dr. Usui, ofrece unos resultados sumamente valiosos, por lo que este libro podemos considerarlo una importante contribución a la literatura actual sobre Reiki.
Richard Ellis is an author of two books and a complementary health practitioner specialising in the relationship between mind and body. He is a Master Teacher of Reiki, a Clinical Hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner.
Richard’s career in complementary therapy began in the early 1990’s completing his formal training as a Reiki instructor by early 1995 at the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland. Following a period of international teaching tours Richard was approached to write his first book ‘Empower your life with Reiki’ published by hodder & Stoughton in 1999. This book was published in the United States by Sterling Publishing and re-titled ‘Practical Reiki’and went on to be translated into several languages.
Following the success of Practical Reiki, Richard started work on his second book ‘Reiki and the Seven Chakras’ published in 2002 by Vermillion. It has been translated into several languages and has sold over 40,000 copies in the English language.
Richard’s keen interest in the chakra system, the nature of disease and the link between mind and body, led him to develop his own training program utilizing posture analysis and non verbal communication called The Body Never Lies.
In addition to his writing and healing work, Richard has studied various forms of bodywork and holds Diplomas in NLP and Clinical Hypnotherapy. Richard continues to research methods of enhancing his busy practice and classes.
Richard runs his practice from Dorset England where he lives with his partner and three children.
I always recommend this book to people starting out in Reiki, but it's also good for seasoned practitioners to expand your knowledge of the chakras.
Richard's writing style is direct, simple, and humble, conveying deep truth wonderfully. Much of what is said is profound if taken seriously. I'm currently re-reading it and finding pockets of wisdom that I didn't see the first time.
It's a nice xploration into the charka system with interesting meditations on specific chakra healings. I don't know that I would call it "the essential guide" as it has in the title, but it's still pretty good.
I discovered Richards book by accident whilst researching the Chakras, I found it to be an easy and enjoyable read. It also helped me get back into Reiki after a 11 year stop. This book is a must for Level 1 Reiki practitioners.
