Book Reviews of Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide

Book Review: Not a guide but an essay on Reiki
Summary: 2 Stars

I atleast didn't buy it but got it from the library. Here I am flipping through the book looking for the actual instructions on how to do it and mostly it is just commentary on Reiki as a subject. Like a giant wikipedia article all about Reiki and the various modalities. So I turn to the chapter on 1st Degree Reiki Training thinking that this is where she will teach what to do (the How to's) but no, it is about 1st degree Reiki training and where to look for a teacher of it. Great! That is great, but not a comprehensive guide. Isn't a guide supposed to lead you into doing, not just reading about the many splendors of it. I wonder what book is an "actual" guide of Reiki because this book clearly is not. I don't want to consistently read about having to go to such and such class to receive my level 1 Reiki training. Why can't this book give me rudimentary instructions on how to focus my energy and perform reiki myself. When it comes to books about using your mind, they always give you ways to do it in home with just the book and your willing mind, and this I repeat doesn't.

If it weren't called a comprehensive guide I would have given it a much higher rating since it is well put together and really informs you about Reiki, but doesn't give you any need to know How to info, so what's the point.

Summary of Reiki: A Comprehensive Guide

An illuminating guide to one of the fastest-growing spiritual healing practices in the world and an essential tool for anyone ready to bring healing into his or her life.

Perhaps the gentlest healing therapy in the world, Reiki originated in early twentieth-century Japan. In this indispensable guide to Reiki, one of the foremost experts traces the origin and development of the practice, detailing how and why it restores and renews the human body in ways we?ve only begun to understand.

A pioneer in bringing Reiki into mainstream medical practice, Miles draws on her unique background to explain how this therapeutic technique, which involves a gentle laying on of the hands, complements conventional medical treatments and can hasten recovery from invasive surgical procedures, as well as ease the symptoms of cancer, insomnia, depression, anxiety, and other conditions. With compassion, wisdom, and the accumulated experience that comes from nearly twenty years as a Reiki practitioner, Pamela Miles empowers readers by showing how simple it is to take.
