Publisher's Note
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.

This bestselling presentation includes the history of Reiki, hand positions, giving treatments, and the initiations. While no book can replace directly received Reiki attunements, ESSENTIAL REIKI provides everything else that the practitioner and teacher of this system needs, including all three degrees of Reiki, most of it in print for the first time.

Industry Reviews
