Reader Review
This book is a gift to the Reiki Community., November 11, 2001
Reviewer: A reader from Long Island, NY-A Karuna Reiki Master
The evolution of Karuna Reiki® has been a joy to behold and this book is a gift to the Reiki community. It is a verification (and manifestation) from the Universe about the importance of the necessity and development of Karuna (compassionate action) and our evolution as a species. The realization that we are all one and the need for compassion in everyday living is more relevant than ever.

Karuna Reiki classes are the beginning or introduction to this compassionate healing energy. "The Book on Karuna Reiki®" reinforces, further explains, and builds on what it taught in class. There is additional information as well as suggestions as to how to incorporate Karuna energies into our lives as well as our healing practice. The Karuna Reiki® techniques provide guidance on how to work with clients that suffer from allergies, addictive behaviors, anxiety, and cellular memory release to name but a few. Laurelle's prayers and invocations are inspirational.

I especially enjoyed the information on spiritual guidance. Laurelle describes the various Archangels, their divine purpose, as well as colors, chakras and crystals associated with those angels.

Reader Review
Best Reiki Book Ever!, October 28, 2003
Reviewer: A reader from Cheshire, UK
This is the Reiki book you've been waiting for! It is really comprehensive, well written, easy to understand, and useful for anyone with an interest in Reiki, from beginners right up to Reiki Masters. It gives a good grounding in energy theory and the metaphysical causes of illness, plenty of basic information about how Reiki was discovered, how it has developed in the West and in Japan, and what the training involves at each level. However, its main strength is the way it explains how to use Reiki at each level, including all the hand positions and lots of advanced Second Degree techniques you won't find in any other book, plus creative uses for Reiki like enhancing your psychic ability and healing past lives. It includes some vital information about the need for energy cleansing and protection, plus many additional techniques from the Reiki traditions in Japan. Added to that, it emphasises the importance of spiritual development with Reiki, suggests how to manage Reiki sessions and set up as a professional Practitioner, advises on how to become a Reiki Master, and gives brief details of 28 different Reiki systems! It's an easy read, but an amazing resource that you'll want to go back to again and again - definitely the best Reiki book ever!

Reader Review
Everything you NEED to know about Reiki , Really!, August 30, 2001
Reviewer: jesella from Naples , Florida
After having taught Reiki for seven years,and practiced Reiki for ten years, I have read a lot of Reiki books , many have been disappointingly repeatative or to esoteric. This is one of two books I highly recommend to my students, the other being Diane Steins book, Essential Reiki. This book is well written by seekers of the genuine roots of the Reiki Healing tradition. If you want to understand the mind of Mikao Usui Sensai a little better, I think these writers have revealed the truth. I learned a lot myself and am very satisfied with the techniques taugh here. The author's reveal the origional manuals and techniques taught by the founders of this tradition . Is has been great confirmation of ideas I have intuited in my own practice and has taken me further up the road of my own spiritual path.

Reader Review
Healing Power of Your Heart, May 12, 2000
Reviewer: Tatyana Elmanovich (see more about me at Amazon.com) from Encino, California United States
The reviewers heated discussion over the historical facts of the Reiki tradition in "Reiki: Hands That Heal" by Joyce Morris made me believe that this book presented a distorted history of the Reiki tradition. So I bought it as a contraversial history book and discovered that between the covers, there was something else -- a great handbook on natural healing. Page by page -- by the way, superbly designed -- the reader receives detailed instruction on how to tune into universal healing energies, and for God's sake -- to help himself to become more energized, optimistic, vital, and more positive, in other words -- fit to handle daily pressure, emotional and mental challenges.

The reviewers tell that out there are better books about Reiki. If one has interest in Reiki history, yes, it would make sense to buy all of them and compare facts. But if someone is looking for a practical guide how to learn to trust your own healing power, to enforce it through alignment with Reiki, or universal healing force, I cannot recommend a better book than this one. The presentation is beautiful and clear, but most importantly -- it stresses over and over again the simplest truth that we tend to forget -- that health and prosperity stem from faith and purity of our thoughts and intentions. Cleanse your heart, and Reiki will cleanse your body for you!

Sometimes, there is nothing better than a poor review! In the present case, it guided me to a great book that encouraged me to count on the healing power on my own heart. What an idea! Why take my word for it? You may wish to find it out on your own.

Reader Review
The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui, May 1, 2000
Reviewer: A reader from United States
The translation of Dr. Usui's Reiki handbook is a a very significant development for the Reiki community. At last we have proof that Reiki is not an oral tradition and that Dr. Usui gave out written material to all his students. I find the exercises to be useful and that my Reiki healing abilities have increased. The explainations and the insights about the origins of Reiki are also helpful. The color pictures of the hand positions Dr. Usui rcommends for various illnesses and conditions are wonderful. I have tried some of them and found them to work. I am very pleased that we now have such detailed information from the founder of the Usui system to use in our Reiki practices. Thank you Arjava and Chetna for taking the time to write this very important book.

Reader Review
A reader from Colorado , 12 March, 1999
Good Book! Practitioners must!
This book explains Reiki Very well. The pictures are done a very spiritual way. ALL the hand positions are also explained. Too many times I have seen books that leave out the positions that close to or are over the private parts. Even though these are not hand positions that should be used on every client, it is important to show these postitions for treatment options. The realation to the Chakras and Reiki are very important. Walter has done an excellent job tying the two together and explaining how they react together. (because they do!) Good Book for practitioners!!

A reader from Greeley, Colorado , 12 March, 1999
Solid information on Reiki and how it relates to Chakras.
This book was a great read! I have been looking for a good book on Reiki. This book tied Reiki with the Chakras and it really explained it well. It also gave great practical uses for Reiki (as if we need any!) Reiki is a gift everyone holds. Read this book! Great for beginners!

Valuable Buddhist reference, December 19, 2002
Reviewer: A reader from Taipei, Taiwan
~~~This is a superb book to read in conjunction with Richard Blackwell (Lama Yeshe)'s book Medicine Dharma Reiki. The association of Reiki with the tradition of the Healing, or Medicine, Buddha is even more precisely outlined there.

Despite what one of the reviewers says about Reiki and Buddhism, Maureen Kelly and Richard Blackwell both draw on documents from Reiki's founder, Mikao Usui, and extensively note his teachings in establishing and expanding this connection. Maureen Kelly carefully~~~~ goes through secondary sources on his teachings; Richard Blackwell is fortunate to have primary sources that he translates from the Japanese. He adds his own commentary as well.

This is an outstanding book on its own; I just wanted to mention its connection to this second volume. Both are great books to read together; each is outstanding on its own merits-- spiritual and textual-- as well. I am a Yogi, not a Reiki practitioner, but I have had Reiki and my practitioners all love this book: it~~ enhanced their knowledge and gave them a structure for their own practices.~

Book Description
Reiki is an ancient, hands-on healing art with origins in the Tibetan sutras. It has been used primarily by individuals in a daily practice that helps recharge, realign, and rebalance energy in the body. Today Reiki is joining other complementary therapies in the conventional settings of hospitals, hospices, counseling centers, emergency rooms, intensive care units. Nurses, physical therapists, surgeons, midwives, and anesthetists report that Reiki can help manage pain and promote healing. Counselors and caregivers treating those with terminal illness find that Reiki gives patients an increased physical, emotional, and psychological ability to cope. Reiki Energy Medicine explains the body's energy system, and describes how Reiki can be used in a variety of settings to balance energy and create the conditions needed for healing.

Reiki Energy Medicine is the first book to show how this ancient art of touch therapy can work within our mainstream health care system.

As our health-care system challenges institutions to offer high-quality but cost-effective service, Reiki can be an important tool that can help maximize patient care and minimize recovery time.

Reiki does not require complicated techniques or extensive training: practitioners of many disciplines are able to easily incorporate it into their specialties.


About the Author
Libby Barnett, M.S.W.and Reiki Master, integrates her healing skills with counseling experience as a medical social worker at Massachusetts General Hospital. She has trained physicians, psychotherapists, nurses, psychologists, and hospice staff, and has led classes at teaching hospitals throughout the United States.


Reader Review
Internal medicine, January 19, 2000
Reviewer: Kishen J Mangat from Denver, CO
With the onslaught of new medicines, biotechnology, and more and riskier medical procedures, it is good to know that there is a way to minimize external manipulations of our primary systems, in favor of curing from within. Barnett and Chambers tell how and why to use reiki energy for better health in a highly digestible, imminently applicable text for all humans. The health benefits experienced by the reiki practicioner are too many to name - imagine the potential impact from harnessing one's internal energy and the energy from the outside world for healing - the applications are truly endless. As an elite marathon runner, and a student of Barnett and Chambers, I can testify to the "realness" and potency of energy medicine. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn more about how you can improve your physical, mental, and emotional performance using tools that are readily available.
