A shining book! Reiki Healing Touch affirms our deepest intuition about love, that it heals. The authors unearth the deep mysteries of healing energy, not only from the Christian-Buddhist, Mikao Usui, but from the healing ministry of Jesus. East and West meet in this happy book of hope.

--Patricia Adams Farmer, author of Embracing a Beautiful God.

5 Stars for this book because it's, as far as I know, the only one of its kind. And as are all of Dr. Epperly's books, it is well written and easily and eagerly read. Reiki, a method and practice of hands-on and distance healing prayer, is growing in popularity around the world. It's Eastern roots and flavor may lead some more "conservative" Christians to keep their distance. But that would be their loss. Prayer transcends any specific theology, and God is God, no matter the language one uses in prayer. So this consideration of Reiki practice, and its placement within the Christian context of prayer and worship, is a valuable contribution and an ecumenical bridge-builder. To learn the gentle genius of Reiki itself, you'll need to go beyond this book. But for Christians to get "permission" to do so, here's a place to begin.

Being a Reiki Master and Christian I found this book informative and affirming. Reiki translated from Japanese is 'Universal Life Energy'. And who is the source of that? Ummm...
This book wonderfully explains how Reiki fits in with the Christian tradition of the laying on of hands. It speaks of healing on the emotional, spiritual and physical level.
Bruce & Ktherine Epperly's ecumenical approach to 'the laying on of hands'/Reiki speaks volumes of the healing love of God.

The author did a nice job with this book. It is just the right length to keep your interest. But, to get all the details, he refers you to his other books! So, I got his other books to get the FULL picture. So, it is up to you. He give you enough info in this book, but, according to your interest, you may need to get the other books as well. He is a good author and easy to read. [...]

Whether you are just learning about Reiki or are proficient in your practice; if you've ever believed that you were already `doing' Reiki before being attuned to it; if you've ever traveled in your mind's eye through your prayers to the bedside of a sick family member or friend; if the word 'shamanism' has always caught your eye or if you are considering any of the healing arts - then this book is for you!

When I read the very first paragraph of Chapter Two, I all but broke down and cried - giving thanks for these long awaited words from Jim Pathfinder Ewing. Even though I had been practicing and teaching in the Traditional Usui Method of Reiki Energy Healing for the past 6 years, something always seemed to be 'missing' from my practice. Jim's words resonated so deep within my heart and soul that I knew beyond a doubt he was speaking age olde truth - just as New Age is not new at all, neither is Reiki just a 100 yr old Japanese form of energy healing. Its roots are ancient and shamanic and the founding father was himself a Shaman who upon his vision quest, received the well known symbols and instructions for healing that are taught world wide in Reiki classrooms today!

Jim shares this truth, knowledge and his own experiences in a simple,honest language that brilliantly illustrates how both modalities of reiki and shamanism can come full circle in a such a natural, complimentary way. With more than 25 pages of notes and bibliographies at the end, "Reiki Shamanism" is a road map unto itself and will surely open an evolutionary door to the entire Reiki healing community.

We are living in profound and prophetic times when more and more folks are desperately searching for lifelines. It is no secret that the time has come for great healing and awakening on our planet and I believe, now more than ever, we as a planetary society need to tune back into the heartbeat of our Earth Mother.

This book was pure energy healing for my soul and I highly recommend it as well as any of Jim's other books, classes or workshops. He shows us how easy it really is to become the necessary caregivers, not only to heal ourselves, but all our relations and ultimately, our Mother Earth. All we need to do is take that first step...

... Seek, and ye shall (path) find ...

Wado ~!

I found Debbie Glasgow's book to be concise and to the point. Though I am not a nurse, I found the information a valuable tool as a healthcare worker in the dental field. I do alternative healing as well and it is a great tool never the less. Debbie speaks to the heart from the heart!

Widely known and gifted healer and cardiac nurse, Debbie Wingate, RN, does a great service in writing her first book, "Reiki Touch". Through her book, Debbie informs nurses and all that are interested in the benefits of Energy Medicine and her own healing modality that she developed as a practicing cardiac nurse, "Reiki Touch" to assist patients in their healing and recovery.

Debbie shows how the human body is more than just flesh but also spiritual energy. She shows that the body's spiritual energy can be sluggish or blocked in certain areas and reveals how practicing "Reiki Touch" on your patients can assist in removing those blocks and bringing the spiritual body back to balance thus expediting recovery from the physical ailment.

Integrative medicine is now mainstream and the mind, body and spirit of the patient must all be addressed to achieve true healing. Let Debbie Wingate, RN and Reiki Master and born healer to teach you through her book and workshops how you can help your patients as well as yourself in a way you never thought possible! I promise that you will not be disappointed.

How refreshing and what a blessing it is to have a text book like this for nurses! Debbie has a wonderful way of communication through her professional experience and knowledge. The information is down to Earth, practical advise, that anyone in the nursing field can understand and apply. I am not a nurse, but I am an alternative healing teacher and pratitioner. I have several friends who are nurses, and I have taught nurses through my alternative healing practice. This text is well written and an easy read. If you want to expand your view on alternative healing practices, this book will be a valuable study and reference tool to use and keep on your book shelf. I gave "Reiki Touch for Nurses" 5 stars because Debbie's style and explanation is the basic meat and potatoes for blending holistic and traditional healing therapies.

This book uses known Reiki methods for use in first aid. It is very enlightening.

I found this book very informative and helpfull. It really put Reiki in a practical application that we can all use everyday (especially if you are a Nurse, Doctor, or professional Reiki practicioner). One of the most usefull and comprehensive books that I have read on Reiki. A DEFINITE MUST!!!

This author assigns the inner child the responsibility of accepting and distributing Reiki, whereas, others have assigned these tasks to the higher self. Until this conflict is resolved I will believe this version, as it is convencing. In "a tip from Shamanistic healing" (p43), Reiki is combined with herbs in a manner similar to the method described in Kryon Book 3 (p147), "Healing Tools" (In the new energy). Also interesting, item 5 (p13) addresses the use of a combination of holistic systems with Reiki, a process which Kryon Book 3 (p144) calls " a melding of the sciences", which can increase your healing power threefold. I appreciate the organization of this book, especially the identification of the type of Reiki being used as either level I or Level II, the figure with the positions on the facing page of the description of the special position, the seven Laws of Reiki, the 12 rules of Reili with food, 5 ways to determine special positions, and how to use Level II to bring the inner child and/or the higher self into the healing process. After reading this book I have ordered 2 other books about Reiki by this auther, Walter Lubeck.

This book is amazing! I benefit tremendously from practicing this method.

I never actually believe this kind of stuff until I seen my friend rescue from cancers. My aunty died of breast cancer few years ago. If I could have know this method earlier, she wouldn't have died and she would live with me. It made me extremely depress whenever i thought about this. so, I hope this regret won't happen on anyone anymore because there's cure for your disease, as long as you're not born with it!

My uncle suffer from stomach ulcer a long time. He took medicine but still doesn't work, he cured his stomach ulcer by practicing this method. I cured my pimples by practicing this method. I have seen this one guy in the institute, who had to walk with a stick, now could go play tennis after practicing this method. But no pain, no gain, he told me that he practice 2 hours everyday to gain his health back. The master's mother practice this method, her hair gradually turn black.

But nothing comes easy,even though it's free of cost, but it take tremendous amount of effort and determination. It's very tiring in the process, but that's also the reason that it is so powerful. Be openminded! Trust me! it works amazingly.

I practice this method every night too even though i am fairly healthy. I never get sick anymore. there's some field that the modern medical science hasn't investigate yet. Our body does have some potential that we might not realize before. I highly recommend everybody practice this method.

It's 100% safe, very easy to do. If everybody practice this method, no one will get sick, no one will die from cancer or AIDS or any kinds of disease on earth. The master should definitely won Nobel prize, because it's such a ground-breaking discover that improves the health of all human being. Everybody can enjoy health and quality life no matter how much money you have.

It's very popular in Aisa, and has improve thousands of people's life everyday. It has also lots of cases that people rescuing from cancers.

This is the cure for all kinds of disease that modern medical science can't cure. Please tell anyone who suffer from any kinds of disease! the only limitation is that it can't cure the disease that you are born with, but it can cure all kind of disease that develop after birth.

If you suffer from any kind of disease, please try it, trust me, you will see the improvement on your health tremendously. I wouldn't believe it if i didn't have all these personal experience. It really doesn't hurt to try. You can be healthy again and live happily!

Words can't describe how lucky that i think i am to know this Life-Saving Zijiu method. I feel selfish if i don't share this Life-Saving cure for you. Try it! Best wishes for you.

From a girl who benefit tremendously from the Life-Saving Zijiu method.

My insight and experience with ZiJiu is as a scientist and a patient. For years, I worked hard to stay healthy and to build a "nest egg" that would assure a comfortable retirement and cover medical expenses. An unexpected debilitating injury and my subsequent recovery through ZiJiu made me realize that there is an intangible yet valid variable in medicine that, despite ideological prejudices, are worthy of formal exploration and verification. ZiJiu appears to be intrinsically therapeutic and has the potential be an effective, groundbreaking means of preventing a range of diseases including cancer.

Great Book. All cancer patients should read this book. You will find a real solution.

David Winston is one of the most respected herbalists in American, and his knowledge shines through in this book. In some ways it is incredible. He reviews the literature going back several centuries, and clearly explains the known ethnobotanical and scientific literature in easy to understand terms. Lots of solutions for genitourinary and other related health problems are described. I should know - this book gave me the answer to my son's difficult to solve acne problem. Get this book.

David Winston is one of the most respected herbalists in America, so it is no surpise that his depth of knowledge shines through in this book. In some ways it is incredible. With ease he quotes references over the past few centuries, clearly explains the known ethnobotanical and scientific literature, and then tells you exactly how to use this plant for improving health in easy to understand terms. I should know - this book gave me the solution for my son's difficult acne problem. Get this book.

Author David Winston has more than thirty years experience an all aspects of herbalism, including a mastery of medicine making, and studies of Eclectic medical herbalism, traditional Cherokee herbalism, and traditional Chinese medicine. The book covers the uses of Saw Palmetto completely from both traditional uses and scientific research. The traditional uses are much broader than simple treatment for prostatic hyperplasia in males. Winston also describes alternate and related treatments for both men and women

Amazing story. This book is a highly recommended read for anyone hoping to cure himself of any disease or condition, be it imperfect sight or anything else. Whatever ails you, you will be convinced that you can overcome it. Meir Schneider views disease as an opportunity for self-growth rather than as an evil enemy to be killed off. Healthy people don't get sick. "Once the body is relaxed, the breathing correct, and all the joints completely flexible, it is difficult for any disease to take hold."

His holistic method makes too much sense to disregard. However, our society is not ready to step into an age of holistic health care.

This is a wonderful, inspiring book. I have read it many times. It is full of wisdom, but very practical. I can't recommend it too highly. It is not just about healing bad eyes but many other physical problems. Meir Schneider is a humble genius.

I have been working in the field of education and various forms of therapy for over 35 years having been the director of a large program for the developmentally disabled and working in rehabilitation of adults as well for many years. I have never found a more inspiring book in all that time. Recently, a friend in his middle 50s who had been through all of the "right" therapies available in the major teaching institutions in New York City following a massive stroke was becoming quite discouraged. He had made nowhere near the progress that he had hoped for despite really working at whatever he was given to do. After reading Meir's book, he became totally motivated again and made an appointment to see Meir when he came to New York and is now on the road to real progress working at 2 things in his life full time: Teaching his mathmematics students in College, and going at it rehabilitating himself and inspiring those around him to stretch out in life and not s! imply to accept the limitations that they have always supposed were barriers to fuller participation in life. I can not reccommend any book more highly in this field.

This book was very informitive for my wife and I. Since reading the shark Liver Oil book we've been using the Shark Liver Oil gelcaps which we purchased [online] at [local internet comany] . com and have been experiencing great results! For the past two years we virtually never get sick, which allows us to stay on course with our busy lifestyles. This book is a "must read" for everyone and the Shark Liver Oil gelcaps are a "must use".

Shark Liver oil is amazing! This book can lead you to a better life through improved health. I started taking Shark liver oil in August of last year. I usually have serious allergies starting every fall, but not this past fall. Shark liver oil is the only thing I did different in my life and this is the first year in the past 12 years that I made it through a football season with no sinus problems! In addition to the sinus benefits, I have been sleeping and resting better at night. Be sure you get high quality shark liver oil. The best is going to be found through an MLM company not at a health food store. jm1134@home.com.

I have given this book to people with arthritis, breast, prostate, uterus , stomach cancers. They have read this book. Our company is a distributor of this product and the results have been incredible. The cancers have either lessen or disappeared. Great marriage with kimo!!

I really like this book because you don't have to waste your time doing all the research on this subject. All has been done for you and you just have to read this one book, do what it says and all good will happen. Very relaxing and very easy to read. No difficult explanations. All very simple.

Largely self-taught in the developing science of sound medicine, Wayne Perry takes us on a fascinating journey of discovery and self discovery.
His book is very well researched and offers a wealth of relevant information.
His writing makes the subject matter very accessible and inspires to try out many voice exercises that are easy and really fun to do...we learn as we go and find many a treasure hidden in our own voice!
After only 2 weeks of toning, I can honestly say that the exercises allow us to unwrap a vast bouquet of untapped potential as we develop a feedback loop between our vocal apparatus and our brain, resulting in better moods, clearer thinking and a sense of increased presence in the moment: I am excited to find out the longer-term benefits down the road.
A must read for anyone who is interested in self empowerment in the most "organic" way possible. Thank you Wayne Perry!

This book was unique for me in that it focused on using the human voice for healing instead of musical instruments. Most books in this genre focus on the use of different types of music for healing. It was a very easy read and extensive background was given on the various methods. I was inspired by the exercises. The CD was so good that I didn't even start reading the book for a week.

Even though I bought this book used it was brand new and in excellant condition. It was shipped in a timely manner.

Awesome book, it has helped me understand a lot about massaging and is going to be of great use for my career. thanks very much

Being a bit biased because I know the author and attend/ed her school, I can truthfully say her book leaves nothing out. It covers basics of therapeutic bodywork all the way up to actual helpful techniques for working with athletes. Contraindications, assessment techniques, rehab, case studies, it's all here.
There are plenty of pictures demonstrating techniques and the muscles that are being addressed.
There's even a video, that accompanies the book, to visually demonstrate even more, some of the techniques discussed.
If I could say anything negative about the book I'd say 'overkill'. Sandy has strived to leave absolutely nothing out. Kudos, Mrs Fritz!
