Heal your body, mind, and spirit with the power of Reiki. A simple practice of energy healing, Reiki uses touch to expel negativity, encourage relaxation, and relieve physical pains. By opening yourself up to the wonders of Reiki, you can discover easy ways to enhance your lifewith your own hands.

Although Reiki is a spiritual healing art, it is not linked to any one belief system. It can be practiced by anyone who is open to its love energies. All you need to give yourself a Reiki treatment is your body and a willingness to touch it. Whether you are healthy or are dealing with disease or injury, Reiki offers great benefits. When you are healthy, Reiki treatments will reinforce your vitality and strengthen your immune system; when ill, they will help restore your health.

Extremely adaptable, Reiki also complements other types of health treatments. Pre-op and post-op Reiki treatments can shorten the care period following surgery because Reiki accelerates the healing process. Also, Reiki treatments can easily be conducted in your home because no special equipment is required. The recipient can relax in a bed or recliner during the session.

The Healing Power of Reiki presents Reiki not only as a healing art but also as a way of life. Reiki is so simple that Reiki Level I, the first of three levels of training, can be learned in only a few short hours. And once you take that first-level Reiki, you will be changed forever. The changes vary from person to person but are ultimately positive for everyone.

Balance comes to both the giver and receiver of Reikis ki (life force) energies. In this book, the term practitioner is used to represent the person giving a Reiki treatment. The term recipient represents the person receiving it. Everyone who has been attuned to any level of Reiki may be called a Reiki practitioner.

Reiki will extend its gentle yet powerful healing energies to you. All you have to do is open your heart to it and invite it in.
