This is a complete guide to Reiki first degree and it is the book that I now use on all of my first degree Reiki courses. As well as accurately explaining the history of Reiki and the importance of the precepts, this book has detailed, easy to understand sections on meditation and mindfulness and practical exercises and meditations for you to carry out. The section on meditation is especially useful for the beginner as you are shown how to meditate properly. There is information about how Reiki is connected to the practice of Buddhism. There is a step-by-step guide including photographs on how to carry out a Reiki treatment. There are comprehensive instructions, with photographs, on how to carry out your daily energy exercises and how to carry out a self-treatment.
