Reiki Techniques Card Deck: Heal Yourself Intuitively

"What a clever idea, Reiki Healing self-help techniques at your finger tips, in an easily accesible card form which guide and steer you through the process. The accompanying booklet says that you can profit from this deck (I think I would rather use the word benefit, as profit reeks of money)without having any previous knowledge of Reiki. I am not sure what the Reiki purists would say about giving away Reiki secrets to the unattuned - but if it works don't knock it.
Each card gives you straight forward step by step guidance and the entire deck is further supported by a small hand book which will enlighten you on the basics of Reiki. An e-book is also available from the author's web site.
Choose from forty-five cards, which include the headings of pain relief, energising, karmic cleansing, contacting higher beings and communicating with our higher self to mention but a few.
Be it Reiki wisdom you seek or just a quick fix to life's stresses and struggles then this may be the answer for you. Like all things you will only get out of it what you put in so you should be prepared to at least give the author's exercises a go. As the saying goes 'nothing ventured nothing gained'. "

"This card deck and booklet are a wonderful tool for self healing and spiritual development. They can be used by people who are learning Reiki, people who are teaching Reiki and also people who have had no Reiki training at all.

The booklet gives very clear thoughts on how the cards can be used by someone who wants to work energetically and spiritually on themselves.

There are 45 cards and they cover a wide range of well chosen and clearly explained techniques including simple meditations, hand healing and practices to help us work with the energy that all living things have.

They are designed to be chosen one at once - this is the intuition bit - and then the chosen card is worked with for a number of days.

For someone learning Reiki these cards could be used as a valuable tool to strengthen their energy work and connection, giving confidence and adding breadth and depth to their practice.

For someone teaching Reiki they are a great resource for Reiki Shares. Group work where the students each pick a card to work with is fun. Each of the techniques can be tried by the group. Then each student can work with the technique they have chosen until the next meeting. This causes a lot of sharing and discussion about all sorts of Reiki and spirituality related topics. It also gives the students a solid practice in between meetings.

For someone who has not taken a Reiki class the cards can be used to start exploring self healing and this can progress at their own pace. Working with these cards before a class would give the student an excellent grounding to base their Reiki study on.

"A beautiful and well thought out tool for everyone! As Sinie mentions, this card deck is not just for those who practice Reiki, they can be used by anyone wanting find balance in life.

The deck is wonderfully illustrated and each exercise is simple and easy to follow, the explanations are clear and so far I am finding the exercises highly beneficial!

For those who do practice Reiki the deck is an ideal tool for forming a routine that is varied and interesting, you could pick one card a day to add to your energy work or maybe one card and work on the tool for a week and see what develops. Reiki shares would benefit from this, maybe everyone could pick a seperate card and work on it then tell the group how they found the exercise or the group could all work on the same card together. For teachers, maybe you could give a student the choice to pick a card and work on it until you meet up at your next class where they could tell you how they found it.

As you can see the deck has numerous uses and that has to be one of its best elements, you can use the tools in as many different was as you can think up!

Lets just hope that Frans and Bronwen Stiene keep researching on behalf of the reiki community and continue to provide us with the high standard of books and tools that we are used to seeing from them.......eagerly awaiting the next!"

"Well, they did it again! After publishing the tremendous informative Reiki Sourcebook and the Japanese Art of Reiki, Frans and Bronwen Stiene come with another jewel to enhance your personal Reiki practice: the Reiki Card Deck. And the good thing about the card deck is that it can be used by Reiki practioners but also by people who are not initiated in Reiki. They too can do the techniques, because everyone can work with energy.
The techniques are well explained at the back of each card and the drawings on the front are beautiful in their simplicity.
For Reiki Masters it is a nice extra tool in teaching Reiki classes. It is really a beautiful deck with a lot of techniques to practice each day.
