Amazing Source

This is an amazing information source for Reiki Beginners. I have read it short after I started Reiki, but many points in this book, have changed my thoughts and understanding of this energy. Highly recommended.

A Very Good Introduction

Like most metaphysical studies, Reiki, has many different schools of thought. Since I am preparing to take a Reiki I & II class this upcoming month, I wanted to learn as much as possible about Reiki. For that, I thought Mr. Venells book to be a good starting block. No, it doesn't tell you anything, but, then again, it isn't designed to be the "end all" guide to this practice. The very title says "for beginners." This means, people like myself, who are learning more about Reiki will find this book to be helpful. I thought the author did a very good job about explaining the basics of reiki, and his list of resources, while somewhat incomplate, gave a helpful next step.

Good introduction to Reiki

When I was introduced to Reiki last year, I found this book helpful and insightful. I am currently Reiki II and will be taking the Master class this weekend. I have given this book to others as a general introduction to reiki.Thank you Mr. Vennells. May everything be auspicious!

A Complete Reiki Guide For Beginners

I'm not sure why this book isn't more popular. It's a thorough and kind introduction to Reiki that is the perfect introduction for beginners. As a Reiki master, I encourage my students to keep this book handy as they learn and practice. David Vennells also offers a nice chapter on Reiki meditations that is a good guide for infusing Reiki into your meditation practices. There's a nice emphasis on self-healing (sadly missing in many Reiki books today)and a caring chapter on the 5 Reiki precepts. A good solid introduction for anyone learning -- or interested in learning -- the healing art of Reiki.
