Reiki Fire (Shangri-La)

"This is a nice little book for anyone new to Reiki. Although informed by having lived in Japan, while teaching and researching Reiki, Petter most definitely has written a book about Western Reiki. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this, and we should embrace our lineages for all the depth that they offer us.

This is a concise guide with some really great points and suggestions that it offers. I would love to see Petter write a larger, more in-depth Reiki guide; his writing comes from the heart, as does his love of Reiki."

"I teach Reiki and ONLY use books by William Rand and Frank Arjava Petter. They are the ONLY writers that teach traditional Reiki unblemished with Wiccan rhetoric like Diane Stein's garbage. Only trust Rand and Petter if you truly want to understand Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki and the beautiful eastern mysticism of Dr Mikao Usui's System of Healing"

"This is just a great book. It has helped me understand the origins of Reiki and has enhanced my working knowledge of Reiki. The style is easy to read and is laced with humour."

"This is one of the best books on Reiki I have read. Some past reviewers have given negative reviews for reasons that are not true. Recent research has dispelled the traditional history Takata spread about Usui being a Christian and other myths. Frank Arjava Petter was one of the forerunners in seeking the true historical background behind Reiki. This book gives an authentic portrayal of Reiki, its history, and its healing capabilities. Useful techniques are given beyond the average Reiki book. While Reiki is not Qigong per say, it resembles it in many ways and indeed could be termed a "lazy man's Qigong" as the author states. This is one of the most real authors I have ever read on Reiki who says it like it is. He shows himself to be as human as the rest of us and ever striving in spiritual aspiration. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Reiki and as a perfect supplement for those starting with this wonderful healing modality. Coming from a skeptic, Reiki does work and this book will add much richness to your Reiki experience. Wish I could give it more than five stars!"

"i know personally of the author who is very sincere in his efforts to help others. he had the right background to present a book on the subject....

this book is a no nonsense basic intro to reiki. qigong while different, has relevance to reiki and discussing it is not inappropriate. the author is not attempting to teach qigong. the author also includes quite a bit of info on his own personal experience with reiki which may or may not seem relevant to the reader. i have found it most helpful of all the reiki books i have read and get a little more each time i pick it up. i am a usui and karuna reiki master.
Thanks!"
