One of the best!
This has to be one of the best books on Reiki that I have read. Everything is explained clearly - from the history of Reiki through the hand positions, symbols, developing your own Reiki practice to becoming a Reiki Master. Excellent all round book.

A sensible, ethical book on Reiki healing
It is so refreshing to read a book about Reiki that includes quality history of Mikao Usui and his healing path. As a Reiki master I completely agree with keeping the symbols secret, as, used lightly or without training, they could so easily open someone to the higher realms with inadequate training to cope with the result.
Reiki takes commitment to and love of healing others and chapter 12 is a useful guide for would-be Reiki masters.
I found the appendix a bit long and, although it is in part a sales pitch, the author's website is certainly worth a look as it helps put his writing in perspective. This is a useful book that avoids the modern tendency to indulge in scaremongering; it is, nonetheless a good idea to read widely on the subject and I would not recommend any book as the only one a Reiki master should use.

Great instructional manual!!
Wow, I have to wonder if I read the same book as the other reviewers. This book includes an illustrated section on hand placements for self treatment and treatment of others. The history section offers some insight into the reliability of known information on Reiki and the Grand Masters. The book also explains why you need to be attuned and why the symbols are kept sacred (or should be). This book has a lot of wonderful information and I would suggest all Reiki practicioners read it.
