5 stars Reiki Info at Its Best 2010-07-12

Reviewer: Reiki Jan

I am a Reiki Master/Teacher and have many reiki books but this is one of the best. I appreciate the clarification of reiki history and will certainly benefit from the plethora of self healing data. I was so impressed with Bronwen and Frans Stiene that I purchased "The Reiki Sourcebook by them.

Reviewer: Jeff N. French

The Japanese Art of Reiki has to be the greatest books on Reiki! Bronwen and Frans Stiene are amazing authors! I have and will continue to recommend this book to all of my Reiki students.
This book will enlighten you with up to date information on Reiki, Mikao Usui, and much more long with wonderful illustrations. This is a must have book along with The Reiki Resource Book by the Stienes. I could go on forever telling everyone about this book, in short EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST ONE COPY OF THIS BOOK!
Namaste'

5 stars Getting back to the roots of Reiki 2009-06-03

Reviewer: Happy2B

I have been a Reiki practitioner for over a decade. Am an Usui Tibetan Reiki Master as well as a Karuna Reiki Master. For the past year or so, I felt as though something was missing- and that there was more to Reiki than what I had learned. I had been introduced to the 'hands on' aspect of traditional Reiki techniques over a year ago, but still had this nagging 'knowingness' that there was more to discover. A friend of mine recommended this book, and after reading it, I believe it contains the answers I was looking for. The disillusionment I had been experiencing with Western styles, and the 'emptiness' of the techniques now have a solid foundation and explanation. This book opens up the possibility for a personal journey and transformation that you will not find through the techniques taught in the West, and I highly recommend it.

5 stars The Japanese Art of Reiki 2008-12-24

Reviewer: L. Gonyou

I've been a Reiki Master for 10 years and practicing and passing on Reiki has been the highlight of my life. I loved this book. The self practice was never stressed enough, and now the Stienes have done extensive research and found that self practice was very important to Dr. Usui and the 5 precepts were just the beginning. It all makes sense now. I plan to recommend this book to all my Reiki students, past and future.
