Reiki is Japanese way of healing, and you don't really need to be sick to use this method. You can do some by yourself and some with help of others. And since Reiki is some kind of meditation, you need to calm yourself and have peace with yourself to be able to do this practice better.

I thought this was a pretty decent Reiki book and a wonderful start to people's journey. I can see a lot of beginners loving and actually learning from this.

A decent introduction and reference (book and cards) to reiki and how to to do it. Different ways to help the body or ailments.

Enjoyable read and introduction to reiki and how it can help heal specific parts of the body. I haven't studied or training formally for reiki, yet the author kept it simple for a novice like me! I found the guide cards easy to follow and the language easy to get to grips with too.

I was sad the book was presented in a format incompatible with my device as I really wanted to read this book!

A well-structured, very helpful guide to Reiki.

I'd recommend it to anyone interested in Reiki, and anyone who's had some experience with it and would like a comprehensive guide for reference.

This is a fantastic idea, although in part a little bit difficult to judge properly via digital. Would love to see the actual cards and looking forward to getting my hands on them.

This is a great intro to the idea of Reiki and the illustrations are wonderful, if repetitive. I think this would be a great reference guide for someone who already understands the practice, but is new to applying it.

Press Here! Reiki for Beginners Book and Card Set: Your Guide to Subtle Energy Therapy by Victor Archuleta is a great resource for learning Reiki.

There is detailed information throughout the whole book. I found the ailment directory at the back of the book to be incredibly helpful! It's like a quick reference guide to apply all the information you learned in the book.

Before reading this, I knew nothing about Reiki. I look forward to trying out what I learned from this book.

I'm so grateful to Victor Archuleta, Quarto Publishing Group – Fair Winds, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this ARC ebook in exchange for my honest review.

While this seems to be pretty thorough for a beginner, for how short it was and the graphics were nice, it wasn't exactly what I was expecting. I guess I was looking more for acupuncture and less for chakras. Multiple of the pages in the book were the wrong direction too.

This book is a really clear guide to hand positions that can be used to give reiki to oneself or to others and also includes charts that match ailments, chakras and body parts to the hand positions. It's beautifully designed and illustrated.

Great book for those interested in Reiki. I love how it shows for both self Reiki and for doing it on others. Illustrations are very helpful.

Having bounced off Reiki previously, this was an excellent way to get back into it.

The introduction to Reiki is informative and accessible while getting the reader right into the space required to explore practice. All the steps of a session are well outlined and explained so readers will feel comfortable experimenting with Reiki. The guides for hand placements (for both self treatment and for use on others) are clearly illustrated and described.

Where this book really shines is in the guidance about how to design a session specifically tailored for each recipient. By categorizing ailments and related hand positions by chakra, location and/or body system each practitioner can tailor a treatment based on whatever combination of needs needs to be met. This part of the book and cards serves as a great reference for all the ways Reiki can be used and applied.

This would be a great book for anyone interested in starting Reiki, but it also would be an excellent addition to the shelves of experienced practitioners and instructors.

Press Here! Reiki for Beginners Book and Card Deck is a superb guide to the practice of Reiki, or the Japanese word for Universal Life Energy. Energy flows through your body and when that energy is blocked, it causes illness. Press Here is literal: the book shows you, though illustrations and descriptions, exactly how to place your hands in energy work.

Touch and meditation work together in all chapters of this well organized guide. Victor Archuleta shows how to do work on yourself alone or on others, progressing from your head to your feet. Chakras, meaning wheels in Sanskrit, are energy points. Blocked chakras can lead to problems in the areas in the body that correspond to specific chakras. An explanation of chakras is followed by “hands on” work. A list of ailments referring to the pages that show how to relieve them concludes this outstanding self help book. 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing Group and Victor Archuleta for this ARC.

This book takes an empathetic approach and gives bite size approaches and allows you to have kindness and patience with yourself when dealing with life. This is so necessary for everyone to read in life. Highly recommend. Especially loved the reflection to true life to humanize my feelings and relate. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Press Here! Reiki for Beginners Book and Card Deck presents the 30 traditional Reiki hand positions—12 for self-help (practising on yourself) and 12 for family-help (practising on others)—that provide calm, soothing comfort that may help to relieve pain, stress, and anxiety and offer reassurance and support for physical and mental disease.

This book is perfect for those who like me who like to learn new things and indulge in a bit of self-care. The book is full of colour, easy to use, easy instructions to follow and I would adore a physical copy.

Interesting and informative! This is a handy tool and breaks it down in simple, easy to understand steps. I’m not sure how easy it would be to do this to yourself without training. While this is a great guide and includes a lot of information, I didn’t find it useful. My thanks to the publisher for the advance reader in exchange for my honest review.

Reiki is a method for reducing stress, fosters relaxation and supports healing. Reiki is dispensed by “laying on hands” and is founded on the concept that an invisible “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. When our “lifeforce energy” is low, then we are prone to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
This book has a description of the fundamental principles and advantages of Reiki. The book is arranged into three ailment sections which permit the reader to access it in three distinct ways: by location, body system, and chakra.
Author Victor Archuleta describes how to do Reiki such as where and how to place your hands but does not explain the whys. I found the book interesting but I am certainly not ready to put it in practice.

Reiki is a form of holistic healing practice akin to acupressure, utilizing subtle, spiritual energies to enhance and guide the body’s natural healing abilities. To perform reiki, the practitioner (called the sender here) touches various places on the receiving party, and allows their own spiritual energy to flow into those places. This is a non-invasive method of healing that is not intended to replace, but enhance medicine. Reiki should never be used for broken bones or serious disease. See your doctor. However, anecdotal evidence has shown it to reduce chronic pain, fatigue, and other issues. Placebo effect, your mileage may vary, blah-blah-blah.

So, what does this book do? It provides positions to use for reiki both on yourself and others. It has sections on what positions to use and for what purposes (hint: touch where the problem is). It gets a bit on how to rebalance chakra points, which are like server centers for your body’s energy. To be honest, it isn’t bad as a reference guide until you have the information memorized and are ready to move on to more advanced techniques. It does not help you in truly understanding what you are doing, which I would expect is vital to setting your intention for a particular session. Individual pages seem scant on content, choosing instead to fill a page with flowery background art and diagrams that feel incredibly basic, not to mention copy-pasted over and over. Just getting started with reiki? Keep this book for reference in the moment while reading something more in-depth for understanding.
