Announcing the release of my new book, The Everything Guide to Reiki. Publication was set for January 2012 but it is available for purchase now.
The Everything Guide to Reiki is an updated version of an earlier printing, The Everything Reiki Book was first published in 2004.
Since the first publication numerous Reiki teachers and Reiki students have contacted me, praising me for my work and thanking me for writing the first edition. Many teachers use the book as a teaching manual for their Reiki classes. Practitioners turn to it to enhance their understanding and use of Reiki in their lives. For this reason I am especially pleased to offer up an updated text.
If you do not own my original Reiki book I invite you to take a look at the new book and see if it interests you. If you already own the earlier printing I'm outlining here what has changed, and what remains the same, in the new edition.
What Remains the Same
Basic teachings and information are the same in both editions. The title and book cover are slightly different so you can easily distinguish the two editions from one another. The layout of the new book is similar to the original. The text is formatted in easily digestible sections. The images for demonstrating Reiki hand placements for self-treatment and treating others are the same in both editions.
New Title: The Everything Guide to Reiki
New Subtitle: Channel your positive energy to promote healing, reduce stress, and enhance your quality of life.
Updated Resources
You'll find a comprehensive glossary and index that readers have come to expect from The Everything Book Series. I've completely revamped the resource section of the new edition to include updated information. I've revised the reading list and online connections to remove bad links and have expanded the number of active links for Reiki associations, periodicals, Reiki Masters websites, blogs, chatrooms, Twitter, and Facebook pages.
