Reader Review
One of the best books on Reiki, July 9, 2000
Reviewer: Ingrid L. Halvorsen (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews at Amazon.com.
One of the better books on the healing methods of traditional Reiki, written by Master-Teacher Karyn Mitchell, Ph.D., N.D., of the Hawayo Takata-Iris Ichitaro lineage. The author is a Doctor of Naturopathy, a psychologist, and certified teacher of hypnotherapy, as well as a Reiki Practitioner and Master-Teacher of Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki and Tera Mai Reiki.
When my guides called me to take the Reiki training, I didn't even know what it was. They just kept hammering at me to "DO THIS THING". I set out to find out just what Reiki was all about. I read about a dozen books on Reiki, but this one book stood out. It was basic, clearly written, pragmatic yet with recognition of the more esoteric aspects of Reiki. Karyn has written several other books on Reiki, but this was her first and remains the introductory text for her Reiki classes.

I was ecstatic to discover that Master Karyn lives within driving distance of my home in suburban Chicago. I immediately called her and enrolled in the Level 1 training. I subsequently took Levels II and III from her also.

Karyn Mitchell and her husband, Steve, who is also a Reiki Master-Teacher and a Crystal Healing Teacher (certified by "Melody"), can be reached at: Haven Center for Healing & Education 603 Geneva Road, St. Charles, IL 60174 phone: 815-732-7150 email: Mitchell@essex1.com.


Most Practical Approach To Learning and Teaching Reiki, March 23, 1999
Reviewer: A reader
Karyn's approach to the subject is phenomenial. I was first invited into the subject by her personal warmth and sincerity. You can actually feel her spirit! She doesn't waste words, but gets right to the essentials of the healing art/gift. Emphasis is placed on demonstrating a simple and practical technique of Reiki. Drawings and photos of hand positions help to make this a much needed reference for students and teachers alike. Karyn takes you from Reiki 1 to Reiki Master/Teacher, explaining the experience of each level and the steps leading to them. A curriculum for the instruction of each level is provided. As a Reiki Master/Teacher, I highly recommend this book to both students and teachers.

Reader Review
Healing Power of Your Heart, May 12, 2000
Reviewer: Tatyana Elmanovich (see more about me at Amazon.com) from Encino, California United States
The reviewers heated discussion over the historical facts of the Reiki tradition in "Reiki: Hands That Heal" by Joyce Morris made me believe that this book presented a distorted history of the Reiki tradition. So I bought it as a contraversial history book and discovered that between the covers, there was something else -- a great handbook on natural healing. Page by page -- by the way, superbly designed -- the reader receives detailed instruction on how to tune into universal healing energies, and for God's sake -- to help himself to become more energized, optimistic, vital, and more positive, in other words -- fit to handle daily pressure, emotional and mental challenges.

The reviewers tell that out there are better books about Reiki. If one has interest in Reiki history, yes, it would make sense to buy all of them and compare facts. But if someone is looking for a practical guide how to learn to trust your own healing power, to enforce it through alignment with Reiki, or universal healing force, I cannot recommend a better book than this one. The presentation is beautiful and clear, but most importantly -- it stresses over and over again the simplest truth that we tend to forget -- that health and prosperity stem from faith and purity of our thoughts and intentions. Cleanse your heart, and Reiki will cleanse your body for you!

Sometimes, there is nothing better than a poor review! In the present case, it guided me to a great book that encouraged me to count on the healing power on my own heart. What an idea! Why take my word for it? You may wish to find it out on your own.

Reader Review
Valuable Buddhist reference, December 19, 2002
Reviewer: A reader from Taipei, Taiwan
~~~This is a superb book to read in conjunction with Richard Blackwell (Lama Yeshe)'s book Medicine Dharma Reiki. The association of Reiki with the tradition of the Healing, or Medicine, Buddha is even more precisely outlined there.

Despite what one of the reviewers says about Reiki and Buddhism, Maureen Kelly and Richard Blackwell both draw on documents from Reiki's founder, Mikao Usui, and extensively note his teachings in establishing and expanding this connection. Maureen Kelly carefully~~~~ goes through secondary sources on his teachings; Richard Blackwell is fortunate to have primary sources that he translates from the Japanese. He adds his own commentary as well.

This is an outstanding book on its own; I just wanted to mention its connection to this second volume. Both are great books to read together; each is outstanding on its own merits-- spiritual and textual-- as well. I am a Yogi, not a Reiki practitioner, but I have had Reiki and my practitioners all love this book: it~~ enhanced their knowledge and gave them a structure for their own practices.~

Reiki Energy Medicine: Bringing the Healing Touch into Home, Hospital and Hospice

Book Description
Reiki is an ancient, hands-on healing art with origins in the Tibetan sutras. It has been used primarily by individuals in a daily practice that helps recharge, realign, and rebalance energy in the body. Today Reiki is joining other complementary therapies in the conventional settings of hospitals, hospices, counseling centers, emergency rooms, intensive care units. Nurses, physical therapists, surgeons, midwives, and anesthetists report that Reiki can help manage pain and promote healing. Counselors and caregivers treating those with terminal illness find that Reiki gives patients an increased physical, emotional, and psychological ability to cope. Reiki Energy Medicine explains the body's energy system, and describes how Reiki can be used in a variety of settings to balance energy and create the conditions needed for healing.

Reiki Energy Medicine is the first book to show how this ancient art of touch therapy can work within our mainstream health care system.

As our health-care system challenges institutions to offer high-quality but cost-effective service, Reiki can be an important tool that can help maximize patient care and minimize recovery time.

Reiki does not require complicated techniques or extensive training: practitioners of many disciplines are able to easily incorporate it into their specialties.


About the Author
Libby Barnett, M.S.W.and Reiki Master, integrates her healing skills with counseling experience as a medical social worker at Massachusetts General Hospital. She has trained physicians, psychotherapists, nurses, psychologists, and hospice staff, and has led classes at teaching hospitals throughout the United States.


Reader Review
Internal medicine, January 19, 2000
Reviewer: Kishen J Mangat from Denver, CO
With the onslaught of new medicines, biotechnology, and more and riskier medical procedures, it is good to know that there is a way to minimize external manipulations of our primary systems, in favor of curing from within. Barnett and Chambers tell how and why to use reiki energy for better health in a highly digestible, imminently applicable text for all humans. The health benefits experienced by the reiki practicioner are too many to name - imagine the potential impact from harnessing one's internal energy and the energy from the outside world for healing - the applications are truly endless. As an elite marathon runner, and a student of Barnett and Chambers, I can testify to the "realness" and potency of energy medicine. I recommend this book to anyone who would like to learn more about how you can improve your physical, mental, and emotional performance using tools that are readily available.
