Interesting in a Dr. Strange, intellectual kind of way
I like how this book started out from a person’s point of view and perspective. How the author tells you of personal experience and his own skepticism. I even found refreshing Filipe’s address to Christians, and how we/they may be reticent to try something new or confuse Reiki as the practice of something other than holistic therapy.
The rest of the book takes care to explain the different elements of Reiki, symbols, parts of, and uses. You want pain relief from a chronic pain condition or illness? Reiki. You want to achieve some every day calm from your normal anxiety-prone life? Reiki. Physical, spiritual, and emotional wellness? Reiki. Align your chakras? Actually I think you have to do that before Reiki...?
Anyway... I’ve always found life energy, chakras, crystals, and “all that” quite interesting anyway so this was pretty cool.
