DESCRIPTION:
LotusMoon said Sure to be a classic, unlike any other Reiki book. Just when you think that there is no need for yet another Reiki book.I must first comment on the quality of the publication itself. The book is printed on high quality heavy weight semi-lustre paper. It is trade paper book size with a very nice sturdy cover.Well, Reiki: The True Story is not just another Reiki book it will soon become THE Reiki book.What makes Don Beckett's book s. "One of the best Reiki books I have come across" according to Mr. T. W. D. King. It is not often that I write any sort of a book review, and it is not often that I come across a Reiki book that I want to say complimentary things about, since most Reiki books in print are fairly dreary and lacking in content, I find.But "Reiki, the true story" by Don Beckett does not fall into this category and is one of the few Reiki books that I can wholeheartedly recommend. . Reiki: The True Story---my favorite Reiki book I like this book a great deal because Mr. Beckett displays that refreshing (and rare) combination of breadth of knowledge and humility. The book's perspective is strikingly balanced in many ways. For example, there is an equal combination of the history and theory of Reiki with many practical techniques--some traditional, some his own. There is lots in here on various hand positio
Thorough explanations coupled with cutting-edge discoveries about Reiki’s past make this a compelling volume for novice and experienced practitioners alike.. The book concludes with a chapter entitled “Beyond Reiki,” which bridges knowledge of Reiki with the lesser-known practice of Johrei. The foundation of this book is the teachings of a group of Reiki founder Makao Usui’s original students, who held their master’s knowledge in secrecy for more than seventy years.After a general introduction to Reiki, Beckett presents a thorough history of the discipline (including the testimony of some of Usui’s students) as well as an in-depth manual for practice. Reiki: The True Story is a comprehensive investigation of Reiki as both a healing practice and a lifelong path of spiritual awakening. Author and Reiki expert Don Beckett weaves together a new story about Reiki’s origins and its founder’s true vision. The author rounds out his exploration with material from world renowned, contemporary Reiki Masters, Beckett’s own insights into the nature of Reiki energy, as well as information about the chakra system, yin and yang, and the Five Transforma
Also discussed are the archetypal Reiki symbols, their inner meanings and uses, and the energetic empowerment procedure called Reiju, which is largely unknown in Reiki today. Also incorporating selected knowledge from other disciplines, Beckett reveals not just a deeper understanding of Reiki, but a holistic understanding of the energetic nature of life. And we learn to focus our healing energy as needed. We now see Mikao Usui more fully, as a seeker of truth, concerned about human beings and the true meaning of a human life. Don Beckett, unlike many writers on the subject, comes not with blind affirmations regarding the life of Reiki's founder, Mikao Usui. “In this book, we are invited to explore one of the great spiritual movements born in the twentieth century: Reiki. Instead, gathering the latest discoveries made about Usui, Beckett attempts to paint the most accurate portrait possible of a ma
