Archetypal Reiki: True Healing

As a Reiki / Karuna Ki Master & Teacher trained in the Usui Reiki tradition I honor Dr May for her Courage in going against the norm and compiling an amazing set. The teachings in the book are truly inspired and can only benefit the reader in their own inner journey. I use my cards on a daily basis and have found that they not only reinforce the sacred teachings of Dr Usui, but also those passed on by Mrs Takata ...who taught that we are to follow our own intuition and be individual. The Traditions and Teachings have been passed down in an easily understood and honest way, allowing not only Reiki initiates, but also others interested in this healing modality to proceed along there quest for enlightenment. By just reading and working through the book one comes to grips with the basic teachings of the Reiki Principles. If we can all embrace this way of thinking and become whole and happy within ourselves this world will truly be a better place for each and every one of us. As Dr May indicates at the Beginning of the Book this is not a replacement for formal Training and without initiation into the Reiki Symbols, they can not be used for healing, however just by embracing the teachings and living in harmony we can all take the first step to becomming whole. Dr May has opened a whole new generation to this most wonderful gift from the universe and I personally will be using my cards both for myself and also as part of my workshops in future.

REIKI KIT

I Love this Kit. The kit was exceptional for attaining self-awareness. I used Dr. May's cards to create my inner journey and read the enclosed book to delve into deeper insight on various daily meditative and ordinary questions. This kit is one of a kind! How fabulous to share this with the world. Dr. May's kit uses spirituality to go to new levels of self awareness. She ties in traditional Reiki with modern techniques to gain and further development. This is a must for those who use hands on daily meditatiive tools!

Practical and Innovative Application of Ancient Tradition

Archetypal Reiki draws on ancient spiritual traditions to incorporate modern psychological concepts for all around personal growth and healing. In Dr. May's style (see her previous work: Codependency: PowerLoss, SoulLoss), it is not a conventional book to be read from cover to cover. Rather, it is a companion to be used regularly or as needed to assist the user in self-discovery and improvement. Archetypal Reiki is a kit including a small card deck and a "user manual". Used together, the cards and manual become a practical guide which helps identify personal areas where work is needed and suggests creative ways in which to approach this work. Its design is attractive with energizing colors and symbolic drawings-the slightly asymetrical design of the cards gives them a useful vertical dimension to work with opposite sides of a given concept's continuum. This kit offers a wide variety of ways to unleash its guiding energy. For instance, the "user manual" provides detailed instructions with useful diagrams for various levels of work intensity. This makes the use of this kit accessible by the novice as well as the experienced Reiki practitioner. Archetypal Reiki is highly recommended as an original and practical companion for personal growth and healing.

Archetypal Reki

I wholeheartedly recommend this product as a tool to guide us through the emotional/sense issues we all experience. These cards and the accompanying book gently lead us to explore our inner self, how we play a part in our own suffering and a loving path to choose more positive approaches to better self awareness. I use it almost everyday as a reminder to be kind to myself, to be aware of all that is my life and to look forward to what is yet to come. It is fun, it is positive and it is easy. You must try it!!!
