Reiki is an ancient and profoundly simple system of “laying on of hands” healing derived from Tibetan Buddhism. In the West, Reiki has been kept highly secret for many years. ESSENTIAL REIKI presents full information on all three degrees of this healing system, most of it in print for the first time. Teaching from the perspective that Reiki healing belongs to all people, Diane Stein breaks new ground in her classic guide to this ancient practice. While no book can replace the directly received Reiki “attunements,” ESSENTIAL REIKI provides everything else that the healer, practitioner, and teacher of this system needs.

Format:Paperback
Diane Stein's book is worth having in your Reiki collection but be sure to read it in critical thinking mode. The giving away of the "secret" symbols of 2nd and 3rd degree Reiki certainly increased her audience for the book but the symbols alone aren't enough to make you a Master. The stories of her giving attunements to mass numbers of people without also giving them the background of Reiki doesn't make for the best Reiki practioners. Take the useful information from this book but also try to leave her anger behind.

Format:Paperback
I had a hard time getting beyond the first chapter of this book. The title refers to the book as an "ANCIENT healing art". The author should have checked her history because the founder/creator of the concept of reiki, Mikao Usui, was born in 1865 and did not start teaching until the turn of the century. His students did not start teaching the "method" until the late 1920s. Some of his original students are still alive.
If this is an "ancient" healing art, then I have an "antique" digital watch to sell you.

By peace247
Format:Paperback
If you know nothing about Reiki, this book will spark your interest, however, there is way to much misinformation. Some of her practices are not only degrading to serious Reiki practicioners but they are also highly unethical. I believe that the Reiki attunements are a gift that is given, when you are giving attunements to rows of people at a time, you aren't giving a gift you are working in a factory. Reiki is about the one-on-one connection between teacher and student or care giver and recipient, it is something special to be shared. Reiki is fine dining but she turns it into a drive up fast food order.
