Reiki, a Japanese word which means "life energy" is an ancient healing system using the universal life energy to heal. It has grown in popularity since the 1970's, and is currently taught by trained instructors through initiations and workshops. Teresa Collins, a trained physiotherapist, qualified for Reiki in 1984 and has given over 60 workshops and 10, 000 Reiki treatments and is a "Master's Level" instructor. As such, Reiki at Hand is the first instruction book to cover all three levels of Reiki, with step-by-step instructions for practicing and teaching the system.
Using hands-on healing and distance treatment, Reiki works at both a physical and spiritual/emotional level. The usual effects of a treatment include not just alleviation of a particular ailment/problem, but also relaxation and inner peace. Collins includes all the guidelines and contra indications for using Reiki. Workshop programs for all three levels are also included. Written in a clear, straight-forward manner, Reiki at Hand makes all aspects of Reiki, including its history and philosophy accessible to all levels of readers. Includes an original cover design by the noted illustrator, Charles Frizzell, and over 40 hand position diagrams.
