Reiki in Everyday Living: How Universal Energy is a Natural Part of Life, Medicine, & Personal Growth

There are many books available which talk about the Usui System of Natural Healing (Reiki). Earlene Gleisner's "Reiki In Everyday Living" is the book I give my Reiki students or to those interested in learning about Reiki. These short essays and poems give the best illustration I've found for the "feel" of the practice of Reiki. I highly recommend it.

Earlene Gleisner did more than just write another book on Reiki; in sharing her experiences and insights as Reiki Master teacher, she provides a most useful tool for those who have just had their first level attunements and are about to begin their journey as Reiki practitioners. Students will always find there enlighthened words of wisdom born out of steady faith in the process of life and how Reiki can and will help them live their lifes consciously. It helps Reiki students understand their initial feelings and uncertainties when starting their path towards self-discovery. Even non-reikians will benefit from this book because it is in fact addressed to all human beings who are searching for understanding the events in their own lifes and are ready to take full responsibility for themselves, their choices and decisions and then learn from the results. I will always be grateful to Earlene for having so compassionately shared her deep knowledge on the workings of Reiki in my everyday living.

Simple, concise and very insightful; a must read for any Reiki practioner. Written for someone who is at least a Reiki I, it gives the insights as to why first treat yourself, then others; as well as putting the 5 precepts into practice into your daily life. Also covered are just what does a Reiki practioner do; and what limits should be observed, including when to let go. This is a book about Reiki from the point of view of a Usui Master; there is nothing in here about "channeling" or other modalities or non-Usui practices incorporated into many other books on Reiki. It assumes you know the basics. It has a delicate balance of the practical and the spiritual. I feel any Reiki library is very incomplete without this work.

Reiki in Everyday Living is one of the most accessible Reiki books on the market. Author Earlene Gleisner features, through a series of essays and poems, practical advice on using Reiki for the self and for others. Her background in hospice work makes the section on Reiki for the Dying one of the strongest elements of the book...particularly helpful since the majority of other Reiki books don't address this very important subject. This book assists all Reiki students in furthering their appreciation of the healing system through the author's use of personal experience. Her commitment to the system is obvious in the text of this book. As a Reiki teacher, I find that I am often recommending it to new students looking for an easy-to-read review of what Reiki is all about and to experienced students wanting to get a fresh look at an old friend. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to own a book on Reiki...you will go back to it again and again.

One of the most warm-hearted Reiki Masters one could hope to encounter, Earlene Gleisner, R.N. displays her enormous compassion for humankind and her great gift for lively storytelling in this little book that is worth its weight in hopes and dreams come true.As her writing shows, this genuine person, this Teacher demonstrates how *standing in one's own center* and allowing Reiki to *flow through* is at the core of wellness. Life-force energy is like an ocean in which we human beings thrive she is telling us. It is a natural blessing of life, and ever-present ebb-and-flow, and we are all free to enjoy it.Changes, decisions and questions are part of all of our lives. "Reiki in Eeveryday Living" offers a method for attaining personal clarity within that process. A *must read* for Reiki practitioners and anyone interested in a common sense approach to natural healing.
