Reiki is an ancient and profoundly simple system of “laying on of hands” healing derived from Tibetan Buddhism. In the West, Reiki has been kept highly secret for many years. ESSENTIAL REIKI presents full information on all three degrees of this healing system, most of it in print for the first time. Teaching from the perspective that Reiki healing belongs to all people, Diane Stein breaks new ground in her classic guide to this ancient practice. While no book can replace the directly received Reiki “attunements,” ESSENTIAL REIKI provides everything else that the healer, practitioner, and teacher of this system needs.

THE AUTHOR SCOOP

Read any good books lately?
My favorite reading is science fiction, there are new good books coming out every day. Look at Sharon Shinn, Tamora Pierce, Ann Bishop, and so many more talented women fiction writers.

If you had to boil your book's message down to one sentence, what would it be?
Serve the Light, trust the Light, make a difference in the world with who you are and what you do.

What are you working on now?
I prefer to keep future books a secret until they are finished. No one will know until the manuscript is mailed in.

Do you eat your vegetables?
I have been a vegetarian since 1983. I do eat my vegetables.

If you had a superpower, what would it be?
Wonder Woman, of course.

How long did it take you to write this book?
I have been working with herbs for over 35 years, so you could say it took that long to write it.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 22, 2014

Verified Purchase

I am a Canadian Reiki Association teacher and choose Diane's book "Essential Reiki" as the preferred manual for all three levels that I teach with the exception of level 3 where I add another manual as complimentary info. Diane has added complimentary info into this manual that works very well to assist those who walk the path of energy healing. I would recommend that other teachers consider Essential Reiki as their in class manual. I would also recommend that anyone who has been attuned to Reiki, purchase this book to complete their Reiki library.

A must in your Reiki library

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on May 24, 2014

Verified Purchase

I am a Reiki Master and I have learned some in this well written book. Easy to read, clear and useful. If you can read through a whole book written for women with a tad of man bashing - yes they are the idiots who wrecked her seminars with their questions and bad attitude, like women are perfect - you may enjoy the book. The author forgets one the basic Reiki principles ... Reiki is Universal and for Everyone, men included !

An outstanding Reiki manual

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 17, 2022

Verified Purchase

This is an outstanding Reiki guide and textbook. The lay-out is precise and it is easy to follow. The lessons build as the text proceeds. There are many excellent Reiki books out there, but this is the one I always recommend. It may have been around a long time, but it is; straightforward, easy to understand and with good illustrations.

I really enjoyed it but can understand how it might put some people off!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 25, 2010

Verified Purchase

I actually really liked this book but I can completely understand how the feminist stance would put some people off. I thought the book sounded like it came out of the 70s or 80s, not the 90s when it was written.

Indeed, it seems a shame that she takes this stance, particularly where healing is concerned, especially as the world needs as many healers as possible right now, as she also says herself. Also she seems to forget that the founder of Reiki was a man!

However, I found the book fascinating. I am just totally interested in other people's different views and experiences with Reiki, and I particularly liked and agreed with her philosophy of making attunements either of a reasonable price or no price, to spread Reiki as much as possible.

As for the Pagan stance, I must admit I didn't really notice this myself, maybe because such ideas are not new to me, and/or they make sense to me anyway. The same with the maybe non-conformist views about Jesus, again I am not new to these ideas, so they didn't seem surprising to me.

I also like the info on non-traditional methods of Reiki. I personally find this kind of thing interesting. Surely something doesn't have to be stuck and neverchanging.

Personally speaking, I am trying to garner as much info about Reiki from as many differing sources as possible so in this sense, this book was great for that.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 2, 2017

Verified Purchase

Diane Stein has written an excellent book for working with, and teaching Reiki. I give this book to my students at my weekend Reiki courses, following Stein's format. It works incredibly well and is for me a wonderful way of sharing Reiki with the world. Some commentators have said they find the book sexist - I would disagree and put that it is political both in its democratisation, and in its openness in that Stein only teaches women. This isn't sexist, it's feminist, and the author has an immensely important and empowering voice for women who are working to find their role in the world. I always recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Reiki.

a "must have" reiki book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 9, 2015

Verified Purchase

It is a must have for everyone who wishes to follow Reiki path in their live. Men might be slightly put off by the fact that the author reffers only to the women in her book but that is the way she chose and after all, it is still a real essential Reiki knowledge understandable for everyone. I recommend this book to everyone who I passed attunement to , as a compulsory book to have in their home.

A text that is both polemical and thoroughly practical

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 7, 2000

Verified Purchase

This book is always going to cause debate and fierce polarisation ofviews owing to its mix of polemic, feminism, Wicca, pragmatism andrevelation. The reader needs to be able to see beyond its sometimes idiosyncratic and absurd claims... Stein is at her best when dealing with the details and possibilities of the Reiki symbols and practice. She makes a number of excellent suggestions concerning these as well as exposing the limitations of thinking too rigidly about Reiki. Experimentation and discussion will either validate or qualify acceptance of her ideas but for all thoughtful Reiki practitioners this is a fascinatiing and essential read.
