REIKI
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a healing modality that originated in Japan in the late 1800′s with Dr. Mikau Usui. The word “Reiki” is of Japanese origin and refers to the Universal Life Force. Reiki is a method of harnessing the Universal Life Force that exists in the world around us and all living creatures, and using this energy to heal ourselves and others. We are all born with this natural ability to heal, and Reiki is a wonderful method of learning to utilize this natural ablity.
Reiki is not a religion, nor is it associated with any particular religion. It is a form of hands-on energy healing that comes from the Divine and flows through any person who has received an attunement.
There are many different styles of Reiki. The method we have been trained and attuned to is Usui Shiki Ryoho. Usui Shiki Ryoho is the original Japanese branch of Reiki that focuses on the spiritual teachings of Usui and offers training in a non Western format. Usui Reiki Ryoho translates as Usui Spiritual Energy Healing Method and the Usui Reiki Ryoho lineage aims to reflect the practices that were taught by Usui Mikao during his lifetime. Our training and attunement was performed by Reiki Master Richard Fiallo.

ESSENTIAL REIKI: A COMPLETE GUIDE TO AN ANCIENT HEALING ART by Diane Stein
This book was the recommended at the end of my Reiki I Class. I did not read it until I was well into Reiki II, but wish I would read it right away! This book explains in detail many of the experiences the new healer goes through, what to expect during the detox, mutiple explanations of the sensations that may be felt during the healing, information about emotional release and how to handle it, and so much more! As I got out and worked with the energy, I started experiencing sensations and other things I had never experienced before and had to just wonder about them until I had time to contact my instructor. If I had read this book beforehand, I would have known just what to expect and realized that my experiences really weren’t unusual and just a part of growing with Reiki.
Reiki is an ancient and profoundly simple system of “laying on of hands” healing derived from Tibetan Buddhism. In the West, Reiki has been kept highly secret for many years. ESSENTIAL REIKI presents full information on all three degrees of this healing system, most of it in print for the first time.
Teaching from the perspective that Reiki healing belongs to all people, Diane Stein breaks new ground in her classic guide to this ancient practice.
While no book can replace the directly received Reiki “attunements,” ESSENTIAL REIKI provides everything else that the healer, practitioner, and teacher of this system needs.
ESSENTIAL REIKI TEACHING MANUAL: A COMPANION GUIDE FOR REIKI HEALERS by Diane Stein
Reiki master and best-selling author Diane Stein has been a dedicated hands-on healer since 1988. Stein believes strongly that this powerful healing art, once a closely guarded secret tradition, should be accessible and available to all.
Since she began teaching in 1990, Stein has initiated thousands of students in all three levels of Reiki healing. Through these efforts she developed a comprehensive teaching method that encompasses the fundamentals of this ancient
system.
The ESSENTIAL REIKI TEACHING MANUAL equips the Reiki initiate with the practical tools needed for launching a Reiki healing practice, leading a Reiki workshop, and becoming a more effective Reiki practitioner. This hands-on instructional guide together with the digitally re-mastered DIANE STEIN’S ESSENTIAL REIKI WORKSHOP DVD is the next best thing to a personal teaching session with Diane Stein herself.
REIKI: HAWAYO TAKATA’S STORY by Helen J. Haberly
The most authoritative book available on Reiki, Mrs. Takata’s own story is told
simply and powerfully by her student and friend, Helen J. Haberly, a Reiki
Master whose years of experience with this healing energy qualify her as a
respected Elder in this ancient tradition.
I loved reading this book! Hawayo Takata was the the Japanese-American woman that brought Reiki to the United States. The books starts off telling the story of Reiki as discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui – a story which is amazing in itself. Then it goes on to tell about Churjiro Hayashi, who was the master who taught Mrs. Takata. What was most amazing to me was the fact that Mrs. Takata was in a very serious medical state and facing extreme surgery when a little voice in her head told her to look for an alternative to this surgery, and found it in a “behind the scenes” kind of way. She had no clue what energy healing was, or Reiki for that matter, but felt the energy coming from the practioners hands and questioned it–something that was really against custom for women to do in Japan. This book contains no new-age thinking, chakra balancing, or the use of Reiki symbols: It brings home the fact that all that is needed is to be attuned to Reiki and then place one’s hands on the body in order to start the healing process, in oneself or another, and that chronic conditions will take longer to right themselves. The book is an AMAZING read, and should be on the “Required Reading” list for all Reiki students! It honestly gives the reader a sense of the spirit of Reiki.

THE UNCOMMON TOUCH: AN INVESTIGATION OF SPIRITUAL HEALING by Tom Harpur
If you are looking for written, scientific validation of energy healing, this book is just what you’ve been searching for! It is full of information and data from scientific studies that have proven the effective of spiritual and energy healing.
Long ago – before there were doctors, pharmacists, and hospitals – religion and medicine were one, and physical and spiritual ailments were treated alike. Most world religions practised healing, including the early Christian Church, which
followed Jesus Christ’s examples of miraculous healings of the lame and the blind. But, to its cost, the modern Church has largely forgotten its healing role, says Tom Harpur in The Uncommon Touch, a powerful and persuasive investigation of spiritual healing.
Today in the West, medical science and bogus faith-healings have made the idea of spiritual healing almost laughable. Yet the ancient practice of the laying-on of hands is not only still performed, it is now gaining credibility, even among physicians and other
sceptics, most notably in Britain.
In The Uncommon Touch, Harpur investigates the religious roots of spiritual healing and looks at the remarkable work and ideas of modern healers. He also describes the many scientific studies that demonstrate clearly the healing and nurturing power of this astonishing phenomenon and verify that something more than the power of suggestion is at work. These include experiments showing increased growth in yeasts that have received the laying-on of hands and documentation of the effectiveness of Therapeutic Touch, a technique used by more than 30,000 nurses in North America.
Using the spirit to help heal the body’s ills is an old idea – one whose time has come again.
