REIKI FOR LIFE
This international best-seller is acknowledged as the most comprehensive handbook yet published on Reiki, so it is essential reading for Reiki Practitioners and Reiki Masters, but because of its easy-to-understand style, it is also ideal for people who just want to know more about Reiki. Whether you want to recap on the basics, realise the power and potential of each level, learn special treatment techniques from both Western and Japanese traditions, or use Reiki for personal and spiritual growth, this book tells you what you need to know. This US edition, published in 2010 by Tarcher, has exactly the same content as the original 2002 UK edition, but with a different cover and Americanised spelling. On the back cover, it states:
"Widely acclaimed Reiki practitioner and educator Penelope Quest's Reiki for Life is the must-have comprehensive handbook for self-healing and treating others with Reiki. Enlightening as both an introduction of the basic routines and an expanded study of the practice, this volume encourages the reader to realize the power and potential of each Reiki level, assists in the understanding of new techniques, and graces the topic of Reiki as a tool for spiritual growth."
