-Review of, “The Compassionate Touch of Reiki: Concepts, Elements, Methods,”
-5 Stars- “BEST BOOK ON REIKI EVER”
-”I have read a number of books on Reiki. None were as detailed and specific as this one. This book demystifies Reiki and gives instruction one can follow easily.
This book is also easy to read and follow. There is no fluff. Just a simple telling by a jovial personality. Like a fireside chat with a dear friend.
This is a book you will return to again and again and always gain something from.”
