Japanese Art of Reiki, The

Reiki techniques originated from an intensely spiritual period of Japanese history. This fully-illustrated book traces the system's evolution from a spiritual self-development system to a direct hands-on practice. The journey moves from Japan to the USA and beyond, and back to Japan. Focussing on the basic Reiki elements in their historical context, this guide contains beautifully grounded information that captures a unique sense of the system's traditional Japanese roots. The clarity and accessibility of the teachings in the book redefine and strengthen the concept of Reiki as it is practised today.
