Reiki The Healing Touch

The Reiki manual is a trusted and widely used resource, currently serving as a class workbook for over 4,000 Reiki Masters. Designed for both teachers and students, it provides a comprehensive foundation in Reiki practice, theory, and application.

This revised and expanded edition includes the Japanese Reiki Techniques originally taught by Dr. Usui, now made accessible with clear, illustrated instruction. These nine techniques offer deeper insight into traditional Reiki methods and enhance both personal and professional practice.

Also included is the Hayashi Healing Guide, a detailed hand position system developed in Japan by Dr. Hayashi. This guide outlines treatment approaches for over 100 illnesses and conditions, offering practitioners a structured and practical reference for sessions.

The manual has been extensively updated to reflect the latest research and historical discoveries surrounding Reiki. Based on firsthand research conducted in Japan, including study of Usui Sensei’s original teachings, the Usui Memorial in Tokyo, and Mt. Kurama, this edition presents a clear and accurate understanding of Reiki’s origins. Longstanding myths are addressed, providing a grounded and authentic perspective on the practice.

Expanded sections within the manual include Reiki past and present, how Reiki works, and how to use Reiki effectively in both personal and professional settings. Detailed instruction is provided on the use of Reiki symbols, including both Western and Japanese approaches, as well as guidance on integrating these systems into a unified practice.

Additional chapters explore becoming a Reiki Master, developing a Reiki practice, and the use of Reiki in clinical and hospital environments. These sections offer practical insight for those seeking to incorporate Reiki into everyday life or professional work.

The manual is fully illustrated, featuring over 40 drawings and 18 photographs to support learning and application. With 192 pages of in-depth content, along with extensive footnotes and a comprehensive index, it serves as both an instructional guide and an ongoing reference.

Written with clarity and depth, this manual captures the essence of Reiki while providing a structured and accessible approach to learning. It is suitable for beginners seeking a solid introduction, as well as experienced practitioners looking to deepen their understanding and refine their practice.

This edition is over 50 percent larger than previous versions and is available in both a workshop format for classroom use and a standard bookshelf version. Both formats contain the same complete and updated content.
