The Healing Power of Reiki: A Modern Master's Approach to Emotional, Spiritual & Physical Wellness

As a Reiki master who specializes in distant healing, even though I have treated many people in person, I am always seeking to learn new or unusual approaches to helping people. I have read just about every book I could find on energy healing systems and when I saw this 269 page soft cover book (The healing power of Reiki by Raven Keyes) on Amazon for a bargain price I immediately purchased it. First off, this is not a “how to do Reiki” book in anyway because it gives absolutely no lessons on working toward Reiki levels 1, 2, or 3; however, if you are just curious about how Reiki universal healing methods are being used to heal and help people, this is a must read book. The author provides real case histories on her own personal journey in life and how she became one of the most well-known and respected Reiki masters in New York. For those who are already familiar with Reiki through taking the courses or reading other books on the subject, this book will further inspire you to keep practicing Reiki. This book is organized into nine chapters covering the following topics: What Reiki is (and sometimes comes with it), masters of the heart, healing and emotions, heartache, grief, and stress, healing the body: Reiki and professional sports, using Reiki in cancer treatment, Reiki in traumatic events, healing mental wounds and the mind of PTSD, Healing the spirit: Reiki and life after death and Reiki in the modern world. I recommend this wonderful and well-written book for anyone who is interested in the amazing power of energy healing when combined with sincere and loving intention. The true stories related in this book will inspire all those who practice Reiki no matter what level. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J.

Excellent book, well written. Author has a beautiful giving soul, who lives from her heart through Reiki. An amazing story and a must read for the Reiki trained and non-Reiki understanding the depth of how Reiki works for the better of humanity and in the operating room. A mandatory read for her wonderful medical Reiki class.

This is a wonderful book for those interested in finding out just how the healing power of Reiki can change your life. Raven gives detailed accounts of the many people she has helped through this powerful form of energy healing, from cancer patients to the first responders of 9/11. The many guided meditations in this book are also helpful in showing just how to bring this healing energy into your life. I was blessed to have known Raven and her family growing up and I'm so proud of what she has brought to the world with this book. I'm looking forward to reading many more, Raven!

I buy and hand out to friends. Inspirational.

This is the perfect book for anyone wanting to learn about what reiki is and how it is applicable in normal everyday lives. It is beautifully written. Raven is such a gifted and incredibly special person it is wonderful to read about her experiences with it. She is pioneering the path for reiki in operating rooms which will change so many lives. Having met her now in person I can attest to the validity and honesty for that which she writes about. I would highly recommend this book for anyone and everyone.

I loved this book. The experiences she shares are inspiring and heartwarming. I was in tears through several chapters. There was a lot in it I was not expecting when I purchased, but was so grateful to read. I can't describe how deeply I was touched. I am now more profoundly connected to Reiki and have just been attuned to 3rd Degree Usui. I highly recommend this book, especially to anyone who is a Reiki Practitioner or considering becoming one.

Was a fabulous book ~ I love her writing style ~ the topic was of interest ~ and it was easy to follow and use in my everyday life. Well done.

Not a brilliant work, but a heart-warming reading that is perfect choice for people interested in spiritual healing, if they seek a good book for long Autumn evenings. Grab a hot ginger tea, relax and enjoy the book - you will be satisfied. I offer only three stars, because "The Healing Power of Reiki" is not a revolution. For me, there was nothing revolutionary about the book. It's a collection of personal stories of a Reiki master who shared Reiki with people in need. The stories will warm your heart and inspire you to share Reiki with others. The personal style and approach of the author to spirituality is clearly visible, but it makes the book... well, personal. I do like books that share author's personality.

Great book. Learning alot about Reiki here. This is a book I needed to read. Arrived promptly. Happy with this purchase and have recommended it to Reiki practicioners who wish to learn more.

I have been a Reiki Master for over 20years. I originally picked this book up at the local library. I was amazed at the amount and depth of information about Reiki and was in deep admiration of Raven for her honest sharings of her experience. Her wide open heart and service to others was so inspirational. Her sharing of information about the practice of REiki by case studies was so helpful. It is so much richer to understand the information by sharing the application. Her many examples of the emotional causes of physical illnesses was so important. The variety of ther clients was interesting as well, from ground zero and working in the OR with Dr Oz, working with breast cancer patients, working with transplant patients, and her palliative work and others so well illustrated the many ways that Reiki can be used. The information about post traumatic stress disorder was very enlightening and was made so much clearer by the sharing of her personal experience. Thank you Raven for this wonderful book. It will be required reading for my 2nd degree students! The meditations are also so helpful. I am sharing these with my students EvelynWhiteside

Amazing woman! I'll have the chance to meet her personally next month. Her book is a testimony to the willpower a person can exhibit when necessary.

Excellent book! A must for any Reiki practioner's library!

This book not only outlines the history and basic of Reiki but provides a very interesting story line from the author's experience in treating emergency workers involved in the 2001 911 disaster. It brought home how powerful Reiki can be in healing physically, emotionally and spiritually.
