Imagine it is possible to heal using your hands. This is the promise of Reiki.

Ancient lore tells us that illness is the result of an energy (Ki) imbalance within us and that healing comes through harmonising the flow of Ki. This introductory guide explains what Ki is and how it relates to our health and well-being.

Learning Reiki is a path that many follow. This simple guide discusses the steps involved in learning Reiki and gives you a thorough understanding of what to look for in a course or teacher.

Reiki treatments are wonderful to experience. But what are the benefits? How does it feel? What does the healer experience? All these questions and more are answered in this easily accessible book.

“What makes this book truly unique is the comments and advice from healers around the world.”
