Customer Reviews

Highly recommended

I have been studying Reiki for several years, but have been unable to afford the outlandish prices many Reiki Masters charge for attunement. I received the attunements from this book. I felt them as I read the words of each attunement, and have felt a significant boost in energy with each attunement. I now use Reiki to heal myself and my family. Reiki is a universal energy that is available to everyone, and I think it is only human ego that supports the idea that one must have a guru or master in our presence to learn this powerful healing system.

A truly generous gift of healing

Having read a couple of books on Reiki, I was a little frustrated about the clandestine approach to passing on what is supposedly guniversal healingh. And given one is led to believe that Reiki attunements can only be successfully passed on person to person, I was a bit dubious about the claims of Barbara Emerson to be able to offer these via her book and/or videos. But with an open heart and mind I did the first attunement from the instructions in her book - and I was very impressed with the results. I do healing similar to Reiki, and found after the attunement that my hands were much more sensitive to the energy of another person and could give healing with stronger energy than before. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in starting Reiki or other forms of healing using the hands. Barbara Emerson, thank you for your generosity of healing spirit.

my favorite reiki book

i really enjoyed this book a lot. it feels like barbara is discussing reiki with me personally. the book is down to earth, very informative. i also have two of the videos barbara offers, but so far i've only played one. it was great, i could feel the energy flow. if it were not for this book, i doubt that i'd have searched deeper into this healing method. now i want to go as far as i can in this field. thanks to barbara.

At Last!

Finally a book that gives you more than information about Reiki. With the attunement videos I have been able to become a Reiki Master and start teaching Reiki. All of the other books I have read are very interesting, but send you to a Master for attunements. I live in a small town and there are no Reiki Masters available. This is a Godsend for me. Also, I do not think a person should be able to write a review if they have not read the book or tried the attunements!!!

Misunderstanding

After reveiwing other comments from a Reiki Master about this book, It was obvious that she either misunderstood the message in the book or was trying to down grade the book for her own benifit. There is no mention in the book about the book passing the attunements to buyers of the book. The attunements are given through a video tape process. I have read the book and taken the video attunements associated with this book and they are powerful. I would hope other Reiki masters do not feel threatened and down grade this book. Reiki Masters charge lots of money to teach others the healing art of reiki. It seems that Barbara Emerson has now made Reiki available to all people rich and poor alike. The biggest reason for the book appears to be so Reiki can be shared by all at a reasonable price. If you fall pray to sour grapes from other Reiki Masters your cost to become a reiki master will be very high and you will get no help with sharing your new knowledge with others. Just remember, what you sow you shall reap. Sincerly Rick (Reiki Master)
