Book Reviews of The Power of Reiki: An Ancient Hands-On Healing Technique

Book Review: The perfect introduction to Reiki and great for all attuned levels as well!
Summary: 5 Stars

Tanmaya Honervogt's book is just perfect. She invites the reader into the heart of Reiki by sharing: 1) Her path with Reiki 2) The Meaning of Reiki 3) The History of Reiki 4) The Reiki Degrees 5) The Reiki Treatments 6) Reiki in Daily Life 7) On Healing & Illness and 8) Reiki Reports [experiences.]

There is so much color used throughout, some of the pages are in color as well as beautiful photography of nature scenes including: a tiered waterfall, a forest of trees covered in snow, the ocean at dusk, golden tree leaves in the bliss of autumn, wispy clouds with a touch of sunset pink, a powerful wave of the ocean rising high and curving over shooting out white bubbles of delight and various flower photos of different colors and types and many more exceptional photographs. There are even some abstract photographs that are equally as breathtaking in their own right. Also included are many helpful photos of real people giving and receiving Reiki (ray-key) and excellent coverage of what each position works on physically and mentally which is lacking in most books. I find this particularly interesting as I am about to enter nursing school to fulfill my calling of over 10 years of God "tapping me on the shoulder" to become a nurse!

A favorite part includes "Harmonizing Chakras" and "Grounding" of which the latter I have never read about in another Reiki book to date and the former best covered of all I've read so far. Other useful, helpful topics I enjoyed include: "Reiki Emotional Problems," "Uses for Reiki," and "The Reiki Healing Box." There are many inspiring and exciting quotes throughout of givers and receivers of Reiki, including some testimonials in the last chapter. The entire book is a glory and blessing to the reader. It will make you smile.

I particularly enjoyed this version of the history of Reiki and that Dr. Usui was a Christian who was asked by his students if he believed in the miracles of Christ and whether he was able to demonstrate such a healing. This question spoke to his heart and set him off on a quest to study the healing methods of Christ. While in a Buddhist monastery he embarked on a 21-day meditation and fast on a holy mountain near Kyoto. And it tells his experience and his journey with Reiki. [I love the fact that Dr. Usui was a Christian because I am too and have prayed for permission from God to do Reiki and have been answered with a yes. Since it is my personal belief being a Christian that the Universal Life Force aka Reiki IS the Holy Spirit, why wouldn't God allow me to use it to touch/help/speed healing of others? This is why I am wanting to be a nurse in the first place as well as to serve Him and to show others His love and healing through prayer and Reiki!]

Included are the Reiki Principles:
"Just for today, be free and happy.
Just for today, have joy.
Live consciously in the moment.
Count your blessings with gratitude.
Honour your parents, teachers and elders.
Earn your living honestly.
Love your neighbor as yourself.
Show gratitude to all living things."

"The word meditation and the word medicine both come from the same root. Medicine means that which heals the physical, and meditation means that which heals the spiritual. Both are healing powers." ~Osho

I encourage you to get attuned either locally or more affordably and I believe equally powerful or more so, through the dvds sold here at amazon by Reiki Master, Steve Murray. Shanti. This book was one of the motivating factors for me to get attuned though it can be read before or after attunement.

"Once you have found yourself, you have found your home. You have found your love, you have found you inexhaustible ecstasy, you have found that the whole of existence is ready for you to dance, to rejoice, and to sing--to live intensively and to die blissfully. These things happen of their own accord." ~Osho.
