An Introduction To Reiki

Healing Energy for Mind, Body and Spirit

'An Introduction to Reiki' is a beginner's guide to "healing energy". Reiki is a powerful, yet gentle healing method, in which hands placed on areas of the body balance energies and help soothe physical, mental and spiritual pain. Once you are attuned to the reiki energy, you can use it to relieve earache or back pain, ease stress and soothe fractious toddlers.

This book introduces you to the history and principles of reiki and explains the training involved in becoming a reiki healer. Beginning with the 12 basic positions, the practical section shows you how to treat yourself and others, using clear step-by-step instructions and photography. The reiki first aid section offers immediate relief for common ailments such as migraine and stress-related problems and includes informative case histories, and the next chapter offers guidance on treating babies and children, treating elderly complaints, and even calming pets and nourishing plants. The final section looks at enhancing the reiki energy with other treatments - colour therapy and crystals - to complete a simple, but thorough introduction to the spiritual and practical sides of his healing art.
