Reiki: A Practical Guide

I am so glad that this was my first book to read on Reiki. A practical guide it is for sure (128 pages). It is a brilliant book from cover to cover. The author, Reiki Master, Mr Bill Waites relayed to me a thorough, yet simple account of Reiki, what it is and it's FIVE PRINCIPLES, how a Reiki treatment is performed, what is first and second level Reiki? Reiki hidden secrets, Reiki and Reincarnation, and Reiki-inspiring love. Through his description of events leading up to his becoming a Reiki Master, his sessions with his students, and his personal stories he made me feel like I was there with him experiencing every moment. I felt like I got first hand knowledge (since the author travelled to Asia to learn from a true Reiki source, namely Master Naharo) of the true sense of how Reiki heals, what is a true Reiki Master and what I should expect and look for when registering for a Reiki Certification course. I felt so connected to the author through his writings that I don't believe that I would want to take my Reiki Certification from anyone other than him or someone that he himself trained to be a Master. If necessary I will travel out of country to do this. I have since read another Reiki book and have looked at many Reiki books at the bookstore, but nothing has affected me like Reiki, A Practical Guide and Reiki Master, Bill Waites. Since this is my opinion, and as you can see it is quite different from the reviewer from Boulder Colorado, I urge those interested in Reiki to read this book for themselves and form their own opinions. I hope you are affected as I have been.
