Press Here! Reiki for Beginners Book and Card Set

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.

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.

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.

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.
