Reiki is a unique system of healing that means that you can harness & transmit energy through your hands restoring balance & harmony within the body & bringing relief to a wide range of physical & emotional problems This book by renowned Reiki teacher Richard Ellis illustrates all the hand positions used for the first level of Reiki but it goes much further & shows them in their relation to the seven chakras Chakras are the main energy points of the body & provide the anatomy of energy healing These are different for everyone & so to practise Reiki effectively you need to understand a person's chakras which will in turn explain the type of person they are & the health problems they are vulnerable to For example one person may have an excessive first chakra making them prone to obesity or digestive problems & to pessimism while another may be deficient making them vulnerable to anorexia & restlessness You would therefore approach these two people differently Reiki & the Seven Chakras captures the feeling of wonder that surrounds Reiki but it is also an immensely practical guide So many of the current books on Reiki are very dry following a formula of detailing the history of Reiki healing & then showing you how to do it This one breaks the mould & is written from a very personal point of view which makes it incredibly interesting to read & also very accessible
