Essential Reiki: A Complete Guide to an Ancient Healing Art

In this book, Diane Stein provides a good introduction to reiki energy healing. Essential Reiki is not strictly about reiki, but combines several other aspects of Asian bioenergy healing traditions with traditional reiki. Excellent illustrations make this a true “how-to” book. In order to truly practice reiki, however, one must receive “attunements” and instruction from a certified reiki master. If Diane’s feminist language or nontraditional approach bothers you, try another reiki reference instead.
