Reiki is an ancient and profoundly simple system of 147;laying on of hands148; 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 147;attunements,148; ESSENTIAL REIKI provides everything else that the healer, practitioner, and teacher of this system needs.
