Reiki and the Seven Chakras: Your Essential Guide

This book relays a LOT of information in well-written, descriptive prose.The focus of the book is primarily about Reiki: what it is, how one can use it, and a brief history. Included are detailed instructions on how to conduct a Reiki healing session with illustrations. The author chooses to discuss the Reiki II symbols without including illustrations. If you are going through the Reiki journey, your teacher will give you these symbols when you are ready for the Reiki II attunement, and many like to eschew the publication of these symbols. If this is something important to the reader, it should be noted that this book can be read in its entirety without the student being exposed to the symbols before they are ready.The in-depth section on the chakras is one of the jewels of this book. The author discusses each chakra in depth, with a detailed narrative regarding the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of each energy center: where each chakra is located, how it contributes to our personhood, and how imbalances may manifest. Also included are exercises such as visualizations and meditations for nourishing and strengthening each energy center.The only criticism I have of this book is in regards to the illustrations. The pictures that accompany the Reiki session how-to are easy to interpret visually despite being of impaired quality, but the rest of the illustrations in the book are messy and look as though they did not translate well to the black-and-white ebook format. For me, this does not detract from the value of the book, but it is something of note.Overall, I found this book to be a great addition to the budding Reiki practitioner's library.

ok

I was recommended this book by my mentor. I expected this to have more "how to"s than it did. The majority of this information were things I had already read on the internet. I am sure this book is of great help to others, but it just didn't do it for me.

EXCELLENT BOOK! ...IT HAS VERY LITTLE SPELLING ERROR ...BUT IN GENERAL GREAT!THANKS RICHARD ELLIS FOR SHARING YOUR STORY ABOUT REIKIBETTUZ

Easy to read . No complicated or elaborate technical jargon to confuse the readers. Most readers will already be familiar with chakras .

This is a very informative book. It is easy to read and to understand. I am new to Reiki and have had a few Reiki healings,they were amazing.I am now on the path to learning level 1 Reiki with a Reiki Master and this book has really been helpful.

This is a very informative and easy read book. You have to take your time, because it is packed with information. It is definitely a re-read and excellent source of reference.

Great book

Perfect, clear, consise, exactly what I wanted and needed. This book blows you away and has helped me so much it is unbelievable, changed my outlook on life and helping me to manage my pain mentally rather than the medication I am on, with the help of the book my medication has reduced it will never stop as after breaking your back and hving crushed bones in your spine your never going to be pain free but as I said this has helped.Perfect for beginners to Reiki

I attuned to Reiki a few months back and wanted to read a bit more into the subject. This book was the first out of the three I bought that I thought I should read and boy were my instincts right.Many Reiki 'Masters' dont go into depth with chakra information but this book explains everything you'd ever want to know. It tells you the myths around the chakras, what each one signifies and what can happen to the physical and emotional body if it is blocked in some way. It also has great exercises to do to try and free them back up.The book also covers a bit of history about Reiki, its not indepth at all but it is enough (and unbiased) to give the general background. It also has many stories that author has encountered during his Reiki life.I love this book, it is written with such love and understanding. I've just given it to my friend who is attuning to reiki soon and she is really enjoying it to.

Having just been on a Reiki 1 course, I was keen to learn more. This book was easy to read and an excellent introduction. I found it pariticulary helpful in giving me an understanding of the Chakras. I keep it by my bedside and regularly refer to it.I have no idea where one of the previous reviewers found 'dead people' in the book. I didn't come across any - and can only assume that we were reading different books!

Is an interesting read you can dip into at your own pace, and learnt a lot

I am a massage therapist and I've always been interested in Reiki, I first read this book whilst on my honeymoon and bought another copy to save my original one as I leant it out so frequently to my clients. Richard is an inspirational author with a profound knowledge and experience of the healing powers of Reiki and after reading it I was fortunate enough to train with him. He's an amazing guy and his book is a must read for anyone interested in healing energies and the chakra system- it's the best book I've read on the subject.
