Reiki Techniques Card Deck: Heal Yourself Intuitively

"I'm only giving this 4 stars because I would have liked to see a bit more artwork, but the idea behind the cards and the ease of using them is what is really important, not how pretty the picture is. I was at a point where I was not using reiki as often as I should, and these helped to kick-start my practice again. "

"A beautiful and well thought out tool for everyone! 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!"

"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.

"I had to check this out....just received my deck 3 or 4 days ago......was a bit skeptical and scared, at first....To be honest, my first thought was...OMG's--not a Reiki Tarot........

My deepest apologies to Frans and Bronwen, but with todays "Fast Food Approach and Commercializtion of Reiki"......I was affraid you had sold-out or gone crazy.....lol.....I am sure you understand......

But true to Frans and Bronwen's love of Reiki, and the techniques that have somehow fallen away from most teachings of Reiki, and keeping it true to its origins...... the cards are a wonderful educational tool for ones self improvement a clear and easy to understand self-meditation, healing, clearing and cleansing techniques. Although it is still advisable to study, or take classes when available, to gain a fuller understand of the techniques and the spiritual aspects.

As true leaders and educators in Reiki, they have seperated the Traditional and Non-Traditional (new age inspired) techniques.

My sincere hope is that the cards are only used as they were intended.....a self improvement , healing and learning tool.

Keeping Reiki True to its origings

Blessed Be
