ABOUT THE BOOK
EDITORIAL REVIEW
Reiki is the ancient system of laying on of hands derived from Tibetan Buddhism. Transmitted by attunements from healer to healer, Reiki techniques have been demystified by Diane Stein, a Reiki master in practice since 1988. The author discusses the three degrees of Reiki and her experiences as a master teacher.
USER REVIEWS
"This book is an absolute must for anyone wanting to get totally back in tune with the Universe and their total purpose and place in it."

"This book was recommended to me by my Reiki Teacher before beginning my Reiki Training. That was about 2 years ago and I still can't seem to put this book down. It is full of information. For anyone who wants to open their minds to Reiki this is book is an absolute must."

"I have added this book to my others as a good reference for assembling Reiki training classes. As with all manuals of this type, the author presents the information from her perspective, based on her experience and expertise. The reader must take what works and leave the rest, which is fine. Stein is a fine author and instructor and I applaud her approach to opening the doors to Reiki. I found her negative references to male participation in this healing art unnecessary. It served to distract from her overall purpose and credibility of her text and was best left out of print."

"Essential Reiki by Diane Stein has been the very top book on my required reading list for students for several years. I have purchased this book a few different times and have managed to pass it on to a scholarship student every time.
If you can only purchase ONE book on Reiki, this book is the one to get! The title says that it is a Complete Guide, and it truly is."

"This book is a good example of what happens when you take an overtly angry Wiccan Feminist - mix in chakras, crystals, and 'higher vibrations' with a good healthy dose of New Age 'Reiki'.
There is nothing between the front and back covers that is based on factual information. What this book talks about is not Japanese, is not Usui's teachings, and is definitely not Traditional Reiki.
It is interesting, for such an angry feminist, that she tries to link Reiki to both Buddha and Jesus - even with a time line - when they are both patriarch systems.
Her knowledge of the history of Reiki and Japan is nil. Her history of Buddhism is amply as bad. She freely mixes cultures, beliefs, religions, and fiction into one big soupy mess.
This is the epitome of Western Reiki and the antithesis of Traditional Japanese Reiki.
