Product Description
The traditional symbols of the Usui System of Reiki take a key position in this unique tradition. Without them and their mantra's, Reiki is not possible. The dedication rituals necessary for the practice of Reiki as well as the complex healings can only be accomplished on the foundation of Usui symbols with the certainty and effectiveness one expects from Reiki. Written in a remarkably precise and lucid style by two foremost authors on Reiki, this compendium reveals indispensable information of tremendous spiritual value.

The Big Book of Reiki Symbols,
By Tami Brady "Whole Health" (Calgary, Canada) - See all my reviews (HALL OF FAME) (TOP 50 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Big Book of Reiki Symbols: The Spiritual Transition of Symbols and Mantras of the Usui System of Natural Healing (Paperback)
In an effort to deepen my knowledge and understanding of Reiki, I have studied a number of different variations. It has been a very interesting undertaking and I have enjoyed my studies thoroughly. Nonetheless, I have often noticed and wondered about slight differences in the way certain traditional symbols are written, differential translations of those symbols, or slight variations in the instructions for Reiki practice. Do these slight modifications matter? Does Reiki work by intention alone? What did Master Usui actually teach? Is the Reiki energy that I make use of the same as the original?The Big Book of Reiki Symbols is an amazing reference for any Reiki practitioner that wants to delve deeper into the meaning of Reiki. At 671 pages, this book is quite a commitment, one well worth the effort I might add. As I found myself entranced in the pages, I gained an extraordinary sense of respect, insight, and understanding about what we do as practitioners. I've noticed that now I take more care and really appreciate the gift when I work. I highly suggest taking lots of notes and having a good supply of post-it-notes to bookmark pages that you want to study in more detail. Believe me, there will be plenty. My copy looks like a bit like a porcupine.

This is a book packed with research. One needs to have developed its own feel for the symbols to be able to understand, reflect on, and judge the information presented. There is so much to ponder that a person new to Reiki might be overwhelmed.

Astonishing!!,
By Glenn Kornblum - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Big Book of Reiki Symbols: The Spiritual Transition of Symbols and Mantras of the Usui System of Natural Healing (Paperback)
This book is simply amazing -- a master class in Reiki.It is the book I have been waiting for ever since my attunements over ten years ago. It is a true encyclopedia of reiki knowledge written with much care and research. It goes into enormeous depth regarding the purpose and use of symbols and mantras. I cannot recommend this book highly enough -- a real blessing. The authors present detailed history of the spirituality behind the symbols and Dr. Usui's use of them, which enriches my understanding of reiki but grounds reiki in its proper traditions. They give beautiful illustrations and descriptions for mudras and how to write the symbols. Opening the book is overwhelming with the sheer volume of information. It is not mearly for academic interest. Many sections cover what are essentially "recipes" for how to use the symbols effectively. I hope that the previous review did not hurt the sales of this book. Yes it has typographical errors, but the wealth of information is worth minor errors. I have never written a review for amazon, but I don't want this book to be overlooked, so I felt compelled to share my enthusiasm. As Reiki Magazine says on the back, "With its more than 600 pages, this book surpasses all previous Reiki publications" Many blessings 41 of 44 people found the following review helpful

Only For The Scholarly Curious,
By H. L. Dietor "Reiki Spirit" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The Big Book of Reiki Symbols: The Spiritual Transition of Symbols and Mantras of the Usui System of Natural Healing (Paperback)
If you are a Reiki practitioner who has an academic mind-set, or one who is interested in research, you will be glad to have this book in your library, otherwise it's not going to be a book you go to again and again in terms of technique or your practice.It is difficult to follow, and very meandering in its approach to some of the information shared. This may be due, in part, to the fact that one of the author's writing is translated into English, and complicated further in that the subject matter is about Japanese and Chinese language concepts and history. That being said, I still found it of interest. However, I am appalled by the amount of errors in the book's copy; it seems that it didn't have a competent editor/proof reader assigned to it. So, I am disappointed in Lotus Press/Shangri-La for allowing this book to come to the public with errors that anyone could have found and should have been corrected. There is significant background here that will make the threads of ancestry and ties to great wisdom more apparent- especially in terms of the symbols. Will it make you a better practitioner? Perhaps not, but if you can plow your way through the stiffer parts, it might make it easier to answer some of the questions we are asked all the time about Reiki and from where it comes. Namaste' to all of the seekers, believers, healthy skeptics, and hopeful out there. 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful

Phenomenal Intra-cultural Compendium!,
By Angela J. Rapalyea "Mysticism-afficionado" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Big Book of Reiki Symbols: The Spiritual Transition of Symbols and Mantras of the Usui System of Natural Healing (Paperback)
This fat book goes way beyond expectations; historical and multi-lingual, multi-cultural references and explanations are given for sacred symbols and the chants associated with them.I am recommending that my Level Two students not get entangled with this until they are really familiar and competent, working with the knowledge they've already received...then to pick this up and eat it in small bites. As for my Master Level students, I am putting this on their recommended reading list. It can certainly be read straight through, if one is a reincarnated historian, but can also be used very valuably as a specific reference gold mine! In a word, FABULOUS! |
