Musings of a Reiki Master volume 1 is a collection of articles written by Kate Jones for her newsletters between 2007 to 2011. They cover a range of topics, from sharing experiences of daily life with Reiki to more in depth exploration of Reiki philosophy and practice. The articles are collected into sections based on themes such as the Reiki Principles, Reiki for Animals and the practice of Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki. Pre-dating her blog, they are only available in this published form.

This print version includes photographic illustrations, most of which accompanied the original articles and most taken by the author.

This book is not intended as an instruction manual, but as a sharing of thoughts from a Reiki master dedicated to the daily practice of Reiki, for self-treatment and sharing Reiki with others through treatments and classes. They reflect a period of this experienced Reiki master's practice of this healing art as she learns and develops with the help of Reiki.
