A useful asset for all Reiki novices, students and teachers, this guide endeavours to collate every piece of information that has been taught, discussed, argued and written about Reiki since it was developed in the early 1900s. This includes information from sources such as students of Mikao Usui, Chujiro Hayashi and Hawayo Takata as well as from numerous Japanese Reiki books and manuals. The sourcebook includes an introduction for beginners and a chronological, in-depth history of Reiki that answers questions like: where did the attunement process come from? What is a Reiju? Which hand positions are correct? What did Hawayo Takata pass on to the West? It explains and illustrates Reiki techniques both from Japan and the West, with full descriptions and explanations of their origins. It also covers scientific research into Reiki and provides a complete A-Z glossary and listings of all Reiki Organizations and resources.
