Interesting read. As a person who believes in energy, this was a wonderful guide as to how to help direct the natural flow of energy to help others (and yourself). Great for a beginner or advanced learner.

I was lucky enough to receive a free copy by of this book via netgalley! A very interesting read! Thank you!

A lot makes sense for me. Purposive, instructional and engaging book.

The authors begin in a very informative way providing the explanations corresponding to psychic, intuitive and empathic gifts, as well as how to develop the psychic ability, clearly distinguishing it from the empathic capacity. Throughout the book are many anecdotes and very useful information that gave me clarity about certain subtle experiences that I had as a facilitator, since I am an empath.

Although there are several books on empath and high sensitive people, this book is focused on the considerations and self-care that an energy healer with these abilities must develop for a balanced practice and maintain their personal harmony. Although I have developed an energy self-care routine, the authors provide important information for those who are still unclear about this aspect. For example, I totally agree on the importance of "Do your own inner work so we can feel easy with other people's emotions and to deepen your connection to your client's emotional processes, and also keep us on continuing to grow", "we should always be in the process of healing, It's a continual process”.

Other very useful topics that are treated in the book to be an intuitive Reiki practitioner are: considerations to schedule and run a session, positions for reiki session level 1 and 2, some guidelines to help you to navigate to client through an emotional release, Psychic protection basics, Types of Reiki Guides, their specific work roles and how to contact them. And I loved that they included an Appendix on Reiki for animals, since I have a strong connection with them.

This is a guide to learning the principles of Reiki and how to develop your psychic and empathic abilities. The author, Lisa Campion, is a psychic counsellor and a Reiki master teacher. The book guides its readers through Reiki Levels I and II though stresses the importance of having an attunement by a Reiki master.

Where it goes off the path of most Reiki books that I’ve read is that it also shows the importance of developing your psychic abilities and getting in touch with your empathy. I understand that in some ways we all have some psychic abilities and intuition about the world around us. When taught Reiki, I was told that sometimes I would “just know” where to place my hands and where the energy was most needed. This book goes much more in depth into how to communicate with your psychic “guides”. I’ve heard many Reiki practitioners talk about spiritual guides but my teachers never stressed that and to be honest, it makes me a bit uncomfortable. I believe Reiki energy comes from our creator and it’s that creator who “guides” the energy to wherever it’s needed most.

I some ways, I think the author over-simplifies Reiki, especially when she talks about giving self-Reiki while watching TV. On the other hand, I felt this book over-complicates Reiki in many ways and may actually turn some people off from doing Reiki. To me, Reiki is very, very simple. I’m just a vessel and I ask God to help the energy flow to where it’s needed. This was an interesting read but I don’t think it added anything to my daily Reiki practice.

I found that this book will mostly help beginners. The information is kind of repetitive, and I feel that experienced practicioners won't find any new information.

THE ART OF PSYCHIC REIKI is fascinating! It provides both ordinary people and energy workers practices they can use right away. I am not a trained energy worker but I use some reiki techniques in this book to expand my own self-knowledge and clear my own chakras. Great book!

I have been curious about Reiki. I have watched demonstrations, heard about distance healing and know it can be applied to both humans and animals. I am grateful to Netgalley and New Harbinger publications for the opportunity to read this title.
I found the book to be very interesting and very precise. The illustrations are a great help.
For some, I think there must be a suspension of disbelief to allow some concepts to be absorbed.
The only major controversial topic for me was the discussion of Ouiji boards.
A very well done book to introduce the interested and curious reader.

I had high hopes for this book., but to sum it up in one word: repetitive. I didn't need to hear the same thing over and over. Same info was presented, but in a different chapter or section which I found annoying. We are not dumb.
I love Reiki, but stopped reading about 1/3 of the way into the book. The info presented was a waste of time.
Thank you NetGAlley for the chance to read an advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

I requested to read this book off NetGalley because I wanted to know about Reiki. I've heard bits and pieces about the art of healing but never really grasped it. Therefore, reading the first chapter of this book was a bit like getting an information overload, but through simple words. I'd recommend it as a read to anyone interested in merging both healing and embracing psychic abilities.

Clear, concise, and good information to understand and integrate intuitive skills as a Reiki Practitioner.

This is a wonderful book for those interested in Reiki. It is also good fir people who want to enhance their psychic abilities.

I would like to thank Netgalley and the publisher for providing me with a review copy in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of it.
