Empowerment Through Reiki: The Path to Personal and Global Transformation

If you are new to Reiki and looking for a good all-round book to bring you up to speed, then you'll want to pick up a copy of Empowerment through Reiki. This is probably the most complete yet easy to comprehend resource that I've seen. Many of the beginner or general books on Reiki try to make the process seem much more difficult or complex than it is. This leaves the reader intimidated and confused. This is probably the reason that many people take a first course with gusto and then forget the whole experience. Empowerment through Reiki goes through all the basics of Reiki: the history, the precepts, the way Reiki works, what is taught at each Reiki level, and how Reiki can be used in everyday life. This book also goes into some detail about somewhat advanced techniques that can be used to make Reiki more effective and how Reiki can be used in conjunction with other forms of healing.

I am not a practitioner of Reiki but a client. As a client, I know that no book can ethically claim to be a "how to" book. Formal training is required. But if you are interested in receiving Reiki treatments, this book will help you feel even more relaxed about the process. Plus it gives wonderful background information for those who wish to pursue training in this area. I've glanced at several Reiki books and this is one of the best. So read, enjoy, and open up to the wonderful possibilities of Reiki!

This book is very good for those people who want to know what is Reiki and its origins. Be aware though, that this book doesn't show how to apply a Reiki treatment since you have to receive the healing ability from Reiki Masters. Nevertheless, the information it carries is invaluable.

This book was my introduction to the world of this beautiful gift of the universe. It piqued my interest in this field of alternative mecidine. An easy read, which spurred me on to find a teacher. That was 4 years ago. If you have an interest in learning the basics of what this is all about, buy it!!! If you want to explore the possibilities in your life, buy it!!! If you are just plain curious as to what this Reiki is all about, buy it!!!

Paula Horan's book is written in such a manner it not only keeps your interest but also explains the origin of Reiki, what Reiki is and many ways one can use it. I use Paula's book as one of my reference books during lectures and class work.
