Product Description
Book Description
The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and directly affects the quality of health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this "life energy" has been verified by recent scientific experiments, and medical doctors are considering the role it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing process.
Reiki, a technique for stress reduction that also promotes healing, allows everyone to tap into an unlimited supply of "life energy." Reiki was discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist, early in the 20th Century. Reiki is easy to learn. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds. A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radience that flows through you and surrounds you. It creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being. Many have reported miraculous results. Hospitals and doctors' offices are beginning to include it as part of their therapy, and this new edition describes several successful approaches now being used across the US to integrate Reiki into patient care.
This revised and expanded edition includes important new information on the theory and practice of Reiki, including the Japanese Reiki Techniques taught by Dr. Usui as well as the Hayashi healing guide. Also included are pictures of the Usui Memorial in Tokyo, and of Mt. Kurama where Reiki was rediscovered.
This book is a must for anyone wanting the latest information on Reiki. Its referenced history of Reiki contains the most detailed and verfiable information currently available. Written with inspiration, clarity and vitality, it captures the essence of Reiki and is an excellent introduction to the subject as well as a user-friendly manual for the experienced practitioner.

Decent book, but needs work,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reiki the Healing Touch: First and Second Degree Manual (Paperback)
This book is a good start for beginners and for teaching Reiki 1 and 2 classes. However, besides the history and background of Reiki, you also get the autobiography and self-promotion of William Rand. Some may find this a welcome addition to the book, but it may be a distraction for others. The book is not well edited and in some parts it's like reading the work of a high school kid still learing how to write. If you look past these problems, there is some useful content in the book about Reiki.

A library worth having for every healer,
This review is from: Reiki the Healing Touch: First and Second Degree Manual (Paperback)
There are books which pretend to be a reference point, and there are those which not only are, but also exceed readers' expectations. These are some of those! Read them twice and heal the universe. A library worth having for every healer.(1). Reiki The Ultimate Guide Learn Sacred Symbols & Attunements by Steve Murray (2). The Power of Divine: A Healer's Guide - Tapping into the Miracle by Tiffany Snow (3). The Reiki Sourcebook by Bronwen & Frans Stiene (4). Reiki: The Healing Touch by William Lee Rand (5). The Healing Energy of Your Hands by Michael Bradford
5.0 out of 5 stars
A Wealth of Information about Reiki,
By A Customer
This review is from: Reiki the Healing Touch: First and Second Degree Manual (Paperback)
This book contains a very clear explanation of the hand positions and includes many useful and powerful Reiki techniques, including some of Usui's original techniques which were not passed down by Mrs. Hawayo Takata, who brought Reiki to this country. The inclusion of recent research on the real history of Reiki, as opposed to the mythology which apparently has been taught in American Reiki circles, helps to set the record straight and adds to the credibility of Reiki and the book. Unfortunately, the book does not contain pictures of the Reiki symbols, which however can be seen in Diane Stein's Reiki book and in Diane Shewmaker's book on Seichim. While the book becomes too aggressively commercial at times in the promotion of William Rand's Reiki center, the author has a real connection to the loving, powerful energy of Reiki, and the book is well worth buying.
