Reiki

This is a very good get acquainted with Reiki book with basics presented in a very easy-to-read format. It contains valuable information generally not presented in many other Reiki books. This includes how Reiki can be used to communicate with nature to replensih your energy, how to realize your dreams, open-up creative flow, deal with the past, heal political situations, overcoming fear of dentist, connecting with people through Reiki, flying using Reiki, Reiki for plants and animals and combining Reiki with other therapies. Hand positions are given with explanations and illustrated with photographs. There are sections on Reiki for treating ailments, overcoming addiction, Reiki for children, dying with the support of Reiki, how to find a reputable practitioner and length and frequency of treatments. Use of symbols is explained, but actual symbols are not given. I found the author's lack of updating Dr. Usui's history puzzling since so much new information has been discovered. I recommend "The Legacy of Dr. Usui" (Frank Arjva Petter, Christine M. Grimm) if interested in the true story and not the fable that has previously been taught. Dr. Usui was not a Christian. Borang's Reiki training came form one of Takata's 22 studenta. Therefore, her orientation for training is toward the Reiki Alliance which I find limiting. However, except for the section on Dr. Usui, I wish I had a stack of these books when I do a Reiki presentation at health fairs.

Principles of Reiki (Thorsons Principles Series)
$11.00
This is a very lovely primer to the system of Reiki. The author is a student of Wanja Twan, one of the twenty-two teachers initiated by Hawayo Takata. The book is full of short vignettes, and it even cites a story from another of Taktata's masters, Mary McFayden.

Borang has many of her own Reiki tales and offers insight into many of the experiences and challenges that await us all on our Reiki journey. The name may be a bit misleading, for it does not cover the "Five Principles" in-depth.

This is an enjoyable book with memorable information. I reccomend it to any Reiki library.
