by Amy Z. Rowland
Reiki practitioners direct universal energy into the physical body through hands-on and energy-field healing to support the client in recovering health and reclaiming well-being.
An easy-to-learn form of energy medicine, Reiki is becoming commonplace in such conventional settings as hospitals, hospices and psychotherapy practices because it relaxes, relieves stress, reduces and eliminates pain, accelerates healing and helps support the gentle restoration of the body’s natural balance.
It can be learned by anyone, with no special knowledge of anatomy needed.
The book takes the reader step-by-step through a traditional Reiki level I class. It discusses Reiki’s origins and purpose, describes the attunement process, and gives complete instructions, including step-by-step photographs, of the basic and advanced healing hand positions.
The book can serve as a teaching manual, an extensive reference work for students and compelling reading for those considering taking a Reiki class.
This updated edition includes new information on the history of Reiki and the Reiki principles, and features never-before-published photographs and a translation of the Usui Memorial in Japan, a tribute to the founder of Usui Reiki.
