Reiki Reading

  

 

Reiki A Guide to Your Practice of Reiki Energy Healing by Penelope Jewell

Penelope is a friend of my Reiki Master Lorie Borris. This is the only book I have read that describes Reiki the way I have been trained.

The book gives clear and readable information on the anatomy and physiology of the body, treatment positions and what they effect; the philosophic components of healing; the process of treatment. The book has three major divisions:

 

  • Background information on the physical and emotional processes of healing in the body, discussion of the philosophic components of this system and energetic healing in general, with a comparison of varying forms of energetic healing.
  • Clear discussion of the treatment positions, including the anatomy and physiology of major organs, glands and systems and how they work together in the body; specific discussion of "emotional physiology", or how emotions can interrelate with the physical body and its functions; line drawings to illustrate hand positions for treatment with clear instructions for each.
  • Discussion of the practice of Reiki on self and others, including ethics and etiquette of treatment, and guidelines for becoming a professional practitioner

Modern Reiki Method for Healing by Hiroshi Doi

Modern Reiki Method for Healing is a 3-part book written to share the experience of Reiki, and it's place in modern day life.

  • Part 1: This is Reiki-ho. Reiki Digest
  • Part 2: Q & A for your deeper understanding of Reiki
  • Part 3: Techniques for your cleansing and growth. Developing higher level of reiki and growing spiritually

From the Publisher :Having been well received in it's native land, this is the first Reiki book by a Japanese Reiki Master to be translated and published in English. Apart from explanations of Reiki teachings from a Japanese perspective, this version contains additional information on the origins of Reiki-ho and the original society created by it's founder, Mikao Usui.

From the Author: Reiki-ho is an extremely effective way of relaxation, freeing you from stress.

About the Author : In July 1993, Hiroshi Doi, while attending a Crystal Healing seminar in Tokyo, met a member of the traditional Reiki Association. It was through this person that he was introduced to, and became a member of, Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai, founded by Mikao Usui. Drawing on his experiences here, Mr. Doi has established Gendai Reiki-ho (Modern Reiki Method for Healing).

Not a Reiki book but a great energy healing book. Donna's book - ENERGY MEDICINE , and her ENERGY HEALING videos - provide practical techniques for using energy medicine to increase physical vitality and mental acuity. The book and videos blend Donna's intuitive genius with her profound grasp of how the body functions as an energy system.

Using easy to follow illustrations and step by step instructions, Donna shows how even novices can treat themselves for such common problems as headaches, stress, and back pain. She describes how to use energy medicine for a wide range of concerns, including how to :

  • Prevent a cold or the flu from coming on
  • Quickly give yourself an energy boost during the afternoon slump
  • Use a five-second test to find out what is draining your energies (ladies, is it your wire under-bra?)
