Reiki can help improve physical and emotional symptoms from minor complaints to more serious conditions. A Reiki practitioner is used as a channel for energy, which is passed through his hands to the recipient, activating the body's natural ability to heal itself. In this way, the patient's natural balance is restored, both physically and mentally. It is important that potential patients and students learn the nature of this therapy, what they can expect from it and how they can learn to do it themselves. This book addresses all of these issues, and with the help of over 200 illustrations, it explains what Reiki is and how it is taught, learned and practised.
