A simple question…..
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
It is well known today that Usui Mikao was many things in his life – but a Doctor was not one of his professions. With the title of this book listing Usui Mikao as a Doctor, it casts doubt on the contents if the author did not know this simple fact.
The “Dr.” title was a bit of fiction created by the Takata linage of Reiki (Usui Shiki Ryoho)
I give it 3 stars because I really dont know if this is fact or fiction.
Life Changing

I was given this book by my Reiki Master in Level I. This lifestyle has completely transformed my life, while not interfering with my spiritual beliefs. This is a great addition to whatever culture or religion we believe in.

The Orininal Reiki Handbook

I am reading other books right now to help me become a better Reiki Master. I will write a review on this book once I have read it, but it does look very interesting.
Usui Mikao Sensei
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui is one of the first Reiki books that I bought when I was starting with my Reiki journey.
Reiki is a Japanese term.
Rei means something mysterious,miraculous, and sacred.
Ki means the atmosphere or something subtle or the energy of the universe.
The Japanese words Reiki can be defined as a miraculous and sacred energy of the universe, which sustains all life (Reiki is the name, used by Usui Sensei, for the universal/cosmic energy.)
Frank Arjava Petter is a well respected reasearcher on Reiki not only in the West but also in Japan.
Hyakuten Inamoto Sensei in fact mentioned his name when I was in his Komyo Reiki Kai Shinpiden Training in Toronto, ON.
Komyo Reiki Kai, the system Inamoto Sensei has created, presents Reiki as it was understood and commonly practiced in the 1930′s in Japan. This system places emphasis on spiritual enfoldment through the practice of Reiki Ryoho, aiming for “satori” or enlightenment.
Inamoto Sensei learned Reiki from Mrs. Chiyoko Yamaguchi who had trained with Chujiro Hayashi, one of Usui Sensei’s original students.
***This is a book worth checking out by a beginning Reiki pratitioner. My only comment is on the title of the book “The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui” It’s somewhat misleading, it’s probably better if instead of doctor, the word should be Sensei which is a more appropriate title.
Great historical perspectives
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a translation of the majority of the handbook issued to members of the exclusive Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai in Japan. Petter as provided us with an excellent look into Usui-sensei’s approach to healing, and this book is richly illustrated with the hand positions that were advocated by Usui Mikao. The initial sections of the book are absent from this edition. In order to obtain access, one may find them in Petter’s Reiki- the Legacy of Dr. Usui.
Additionally, a handful of the original Japanese passages have been reprinted, including the original Reiki Principles, as well as the original inscription on Usui-sensei’s memorial stone.
Petter also introduces some basic information relating to the Buddhist history of some of the practices that Usui may have used, as well as translation of the Heart Sutra. There is some commentary on Japanese Reiki techniques, although the bulk of this text contains a list of complaints and methods to treat them.
This is a wonderful addition to the Reiki library because of its historical significance. Reading what may be Usui’s own words can deepen a practitioner’s connection to the source of this vibrant tradition.
A great addition to your Reiki library.

I found this book to be incredibly useful in my Reiki practice. Even though I had the manuals from my Reiki Master, this book helped to fill in some of the gaps. I still refer to it from time to time.
Reiki

I have been doing Reiki since 2003, this is a great handbook. Thanks to the wonderful way this book was written and illustrated, both my daughters (14 & 26) have now taken Reiki I.
Great Reference Book
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a full-colour book that details with photographs the hands positions used in Reiki. It’s only 80 pages long, but it’s perfect for what it is. It covers all part of the body, including the head, the vertebrae and the kidneys. Essential little reference book if you practice or teach Reiki.
Excellent for any reiki practitioner who practices Usui Methods of Healing
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am so glad they finally put this into print. It has all the hand positions along with specific treatments Usui used. A must have.
