--Colette Ngoya, Arusha, Tanzania
--“In India we advise tourists, ‘Do not make the mistake of leaving India before seeing the Taj Mahal.’ And I feel like saying to everyone who happens to be a tourist on this planet, ‘If you have come to Earth and been granted this beautiful life with so many possibilities, do not make the mistake of leaving without experiencing the bliss of Reiki.”
--Author’s preface to the book.
Reiki is an ancient Japanese energy-healing system of remarkable ease and efficacy that heals at the very causal level. The Reiki energy can be felt by the sender and receiver both, and when photographed by scientists through Kirlian photography it appears to be a laser-like beam emanating from the practitioner’s hands.
Working from the idea that all human problems and diseases result from the illusion of separateness, Reiki re-establishes our lost connection with ourselves and the oneness that surrounds us in a multiplicity of forms.
Reiki can be used to heal yourself and others. When practiced regularly, Reiki begins to bring an all-round change in life’s quality and does not leave any aspect of life untouched with its blessings.
Reiki not only heals our body but all that needs to be healed in our life—our relationships, our economic status, our mental and emotional states. The uses and applications of Reiki are limited only by our own imagination, which is why it is being acquired and practiced by doctors, engineers, healing practitioners, masseurs, physical therapists, psychologists, students, house wives, executives, Corporate leaders, people who are interested in personal growth and by people who are simply curious.
Written by an expert Reiki teacher, this exhaustive handbook explains how to get started, how your first sessions will feel, how each hand position works, how to apply different hand positions and how to integrate Reiki with your diet and any ongoing medical treatment through other therapies (like allopathy, homeopathy and Ayurveda etc).
The book answers and clears all the questions, doubts and myths that a sceptic might have about the subject, and does not shy away from explaining the limitations associated with Reiki.
The rational approach sets this book on Reiki apart from its contemporaries. Divided into four parts, the book reveals the scientific basis behind the technique, the practice, the five principles and finally how to keep dwelling on the path of self-discovery in Reiki.

Salient features:
- Does not presume the reader to be having any knowledge, whatsoever, about the subject. Stemming from the premise that countless people would not object to the idea of Reiki if they could only see the logic in it, it effectively builds the much-wanted bridge between the skeptic’s world of ‘logic’ and the truth from which Reiki stems, so that they could cross over to the other side and feel the bliss of Reiki.
- Takes off from the possible doubts and difficulties that the reader may be having in bringing himself/herself to believe in a concept that, from his/her perception, may appear to be totally new, incredible and revolutionary or even impossible on account of his/her prevailing paradigms.
- By introducing to the reader, the invisible anatomy of the energy body (or aura), the seven koshas and chakras --the level at which Reiki acts and carries out the process of healing, it offers the reader a firm foundation for assimilating what s/he is going to find in the rest of the book.
- Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Reiki teacher, this is the precise and perhaps the only book that you will ever need to practice Reiki effectively, for it shares everything a Reiki practitioner ought to know: what is Reiki; its scientific basis, research, and proof; history, effects, possibilities, advantages, and limitations of Reiki; and tips on finding a genuine Reiki teacher and how to conduct a Reiki seminar of any level.
- Provides and uses a systematic and easy way to classify and remember all the Reiki positions.
- Due emphasis has been given on the five principles of Reiki. The reader will find a detailed discussion on ‘why’ and ‘how’ of each of the five principles of Reiki, the attitude and spirit with which to adopt and practical tips on following them in our day to day lives.
