Essential Reiki: A Complete Guide to an Ancient Healing Art by Diane Stein. Copyright 1995, The Crossing Press Inc,
Freedom CA.  
This book is a controversial book in the field of Reiki, the controversy being to publish the symbols. The book is
well researched, presents a fairly accurate image of Reiki and is a good contribution to the field. Publishing the symbols breaks
one of the cardinal rules of Reiki, that of keeping the symbols 'secret' from those who have not received Reiki training
themselves. She does a great service in that she has published all of the symbols (at least that she could find) which greatly
frees up some confusion among the practitioners. Still, it is problematic that she publishes the symbols at all, and this brings to
us Reiki practitioners the question of 'does this secrecy serve us'?

Reiki Fire: New Information About the Origin of the Reiki Power; a Complete Method by Frank A. Petter / Paperback / Publ Lotus
Light Publications / May 1997.  This book promises to be the most enlightening and, well, 'earthshattering' is the word that
comes to mind, for the Reiki community. This book is written by a 'caucasian' Reiki Master living in Japan who has made
contact with the successors to Dr. Usui. It gives quite a different history to Reiki than what we all were taught through Mrs.
Takata. It is the same story as has been uncovered by Dave King and his partners, and is also covered in a recent article by
William Rand at

Abundance Through Reiki by Paula Horan. Copyright 1995, Lotus Light Publications, Box 325, Twin Lakes WI 53181.
Taking a different tack from most books on Reiki, Paula presents here a way of using Reiki in your life. The topic here is
creating abundance, and working with your issues of abundance through the use of Reiki. It is a good reminder that Reiki can
be used for more than hands on healing, but also applied to places, situations, relationships, and anything else that you can
visualize in your mind.

Traditional Reiki For Our Times, Practical Methods for Personal and Planetary Healing by Amy Z. Rowland, Rochester,
Vermont. Healing Arts Press, 1998

The Rays and Initiations by Alice Bailey. Copyright 1972, Lucis Publishing Company, New York NY.
Alice Bailey wrote a whole series of books which you can find in better metaphysical book stores, they all have a dark blue
cover and look alike. These are some of the principle books of the Theosophical tradition, a movement started in the mid
1800s by Helen Blavatsky. Alice received her information from a discarnate Tibetan monk called Dwaj Khul  or DK or The
Tibetan. They are excellent books, though not always easy to read, giving a very wide and broad and interesting overview of the
nonphysical world.

The Healing Buddha by Raoul Birnbaum. Copyright 1979, Shambala Publications, Boulder CO.
The Shambala tradition for excellently written books surely will be present in this book as well. The Healing Buddha is a
discarnate spiritual form which some of the Tibetan Buddhist traditions invoke. Some of the theorizing about the foundation of
Reiki has it that the Sanskrit scripture Usui studied and received inspiration from concerned the Healing Buddha. Amazon
claims this book is out of print.

Hands of Light A Guide to Healing Through the Human Energy Field and Light Emerging: The Journey of Personal Healing by
Barbara Ann Brennan. Copyright 1993, Bantam Books, New York NY.
These two books are a very wonderful, complete and pure introduction to the science of energy medicine. Barbara is a former
NASA scientist who helped design weather satellites, who then became a counselor (using various forms of Reichian
psychology principles, studying with the Perriakos' and the like). In developing her counseling skills she began having flashes
of clairvoyance, which became more pronounced and profound, until what she presents in these books is completely mind
blowing and validating. The system she presents is a complete healing system, treating all the layers of the aura, all the auric
structures one can find, interacting with spiritual guidance, and diving into the deeper layers of the human energy field than the
auric levels. She runs a very large school (currently around 700 students from all over the world) teaching the skills she has
developed and I am proud and delighted to be a student of this school.

Wheels of Light: A Study of the Chakras by Rosalyn L. Bruyere. Copyright 1989, Bon Productions, Sierra Madre CA.
This book presents a study of the human energy field, some of its contents, and other related material. Rosalyn is a very gifted
and powerful healer and psychic, who started out in electrical engineering later to become a Spiritualist minister and now head
of her own church and world renowned teacher of spiritual healing. Rosalyn taught Barbara Brennan many of the things she
teaches.

Caroline Myss is an excellent teacher, author and medical intuitive. A medical intuitive is one who can tune in with anybody, at
any distance, and give psychic readings of the medical condition of that person and suggested treatment. She has an extensive
background in spiritual learning and teachings, and a very blunt and straighforward manner of expressing herself and her
considerable knowledge and wisdom.
