The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and directly affects the quality of health has been part of the wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this life energy has been verified by recent scientific experiments, and medical doctors are considering the role it plays in the functioning of the immune system and the healing process.
Reiki, a technique for stress reduction that also promotes healing, allows everyone to tap into an unlimited supply of life energy. Reiki was discovered by Dr. Mikao Usui, a Japanese Buddhist, early in the 20th Century. Reiki is easy to learn. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds. A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radience that flows through you and surrounds you. It creates many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being. Many have reported miraculous results. Hospitals and doctors\’ offices are beginning to include it as part of their therapy, and this new edition describes several successful approaches now being used across the US to integrate Reiki into patient care.
This revised and expanded edition includes important new information on the theory and practice of Reiki, including the Japanese Reiki Techniques taught by Dr. Usui as well as the Hayashi healing guide. Also included are pictures of the Usui Memorial in Tokyo, and of Mt. Kurama where Reiki was rediscovered.
This book is a must for anyone wanting the latest information on Reiki. Its referenced history of Reiki contains the most detailed and verfiable information currently available. Written with inspiration, clarity and vitality, it captures the essence of Reiki and is an excellent introduction to the subject as well as a user-friendly manual for the experienced practitioner.more info

A Great Basic Reiki Manual
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is the newly updated manual by William Rand. It includes some of the Japanese Reiki Practices, and more internal meditations you can do in your Reiki practice.
This is the manual I give out to my Reiki Level 1 and Reiki Level 2 Students, as it is clear and well illustrated.
Reiki The Healing Touch
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This book is excellent for use in conjunction with taking Reiki 1 and 2 course lessons. The spiral bound version is perfect for referring to when giving Reiki healing as it opens out flat (and stays flat!!).
Very Good Book MUST HAVE
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a hand book that is a must have for all Reiki students.
Very fast shipment and delivery.
Great book on Reiki
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I purchased this book, Reiki: The Healing Touch. it is a good read, just what I was looking for. I recommend anyone interested in Reiki to purchase the book themselves.
Learn about Reiki, and this is the best place to begin!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
“Spiritually Guided Life Energy–It is the God-Consciousness called Rei that guides the life energy called Ki in the practice we call Reiki. Therefore, Reiki can be defined as spiritually guided life energy. This is a meaningful interpretation of the word Reiki. It more closely describes the experience most people have of it; Reiki guiding itself with its own wisdom, rather than requiring the direction of the practitioner.” page 1-3 of the book.
Rand has written one of the best books on Reiki (pronounced ray-key) I’ve read. Reiki: The Healing Touch is formatted for pleasurable, informative reading with each paragraph titled in bold print and plenty of spacing between them for your mind to absorb it all. If you want to understand what Reiki is, get this book. There are many black and white photographs including Dr. Mikado Usui (“Usui Sensi”), founder of the Reiki System of Healing, Mt. Kurama; including the meditation waterfall, one of the great cedar trees part way up the mountain, and the roots on the path near the top of the mountain and many more. Also includes diagrams of the healing hands positions for self-healing and healing of others.
The five principles of Reiki:
Just for today, do not worry.
Just for today, do not anger.
Honour your parents, teachers and elders.
Earn your living honestly.
Show gratitude to every living thing.
I have so much joy and peace since I’ve been attuned to Reiki [I used Steve Murray's dvd's sold here at amazon and I recommend watching at least one of those first] and this book continues to educate me. Reiki is something very Special that I wish that the whole world knew! It is growing fast and is already in many hospitals and practiced not only by many nurses and doctors, but other careers in which one works on clients with touch–massage and physical therapists, chiropracters and more. Reiki is very gentle and calms and soothes the healee, aiding the body’s own natural healing process for both the giver and receiver. Won’t you open up your mind and heart and learn about it? You won’t be sorry. By the way, Reiki works best when it is requested. If you are in pain, have an illness, and your doctor can’t help you anymore, Reiki may just be a Godsend for you…o8E
Soar!
(Note: If you need a more scientific approach to this topic, read “Hands of Light: A Guide to Healing Touch Through the Human Energy Field” by Barbara Ann Brennan. She’s a practicing healer, psychotherapist, and scientist.)

Great Read for the Reiki Book Collector!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I found it such a good book that I went out to buy the cassette tapes that William Rand also has.
Definately worth the read for the beginner of Reiki as well as the Master!
Reiki: the Healing Touch
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I teach Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki and ONLY recommend books written by Willam Rand and Frank Arjava Petter…do not trust any other authors for traditional Reiki methods
too much ego
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Seems like in this book Rand is most of all interested in establishing himself as the Master Reiki Master. One of the pitfalls of lust for fame is when ambition eventually outweighs integrity. There’s so much about him in this book it seems like he wants you to look at his pointing ego-finger rather than the Reiki-moon at which it points.
Reiki:The Healing Touch is used by The Reiki Energy Healing Center.
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
We love this book! Lots of History, tons of Pictures and easy to follow text. The Reiki Energy Healing Center follows William Rand’s style of Usui Reiki and Karuna Reiki. He lives the Reiki Way of Life. He continually is exploring Reiki and expanding it. The research he has done to get to know Mikao Usui is extraordinary. He is an inspiration!
