Reiki Healing Handbook is a lovely introductory guide to the practice and principles of Reiki. It has a lot of information and is presented in an engaging and approachable way. There is also a great guide to the chakras and different associations. A great reference book to add to your personal library.
Many thanks Rockridge Press and NetGalley for the advance copy.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for my digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

I requested this copy because I keep hearing about the healing properties of reiki(well, I did in South Florida, not so much in Huntsville AL). I have never read anything on reiki or watched any videos or anything so I was basically starting from scratch...which is apparently something this book was good for. The Handbook started with how reiki began and the many many types that now exist before it moved on to other information. I found it very interesting that there are over 150 different styles being practiced today. The authors also include a description of each of the chakras and what they consist of and there are even illustrations of the symbols and hand positions that are used in practice. I have no interest in becoming a reiki master and was mostly just interested in learning about the practice, but this book will help you decide if reiki is right for you.

This is a solid intro to Reiki. It includes some history, and a lot of chakra info, the different levels, terms and healing techniques. The authors are clear and understandable, and have done a nice job.

I really appreciate the review copy!!
