Reiki Rocks!:

As a Reiki master practioner, I ordered the book out of curiousity. What could possibly be in this book that a person could learn without being attuned? I found that the book was informative and surprisingly easy to read.

If you want to know about Reiki,this book is all you will need:

I have read other books on Reiki but this one is the best. As a newbie to Reiki I feel this book absolutely covers anything you might want to know about this subject. The other books I have read omit certain information which I find irritating. This book delivers all!

I was surprised how good it was!:

The format of this book on Reiki is excellent. As a Reiki Master Teacher, I wouldn't use it as my first or only source of info for classes, but I would recommend it to students.

plain English:

I am newly attuned to Reiki I and needed a comprehensive guide. This book is written in plain English without a lot of spiritual gibberish which tends to make Reiki seem that it is accessible only to gurus and New Age devotees. Covers everything, well orgainized and readable, and the appendices provide lots of resources for those who want to dig more deeply into Reiki study and practice.
