This is a well researched book about Reiki symbols, that is a "must have" in your Reiki library, especially if you're interested in the history and traditional elements of the Reiki practice.

For those who are interested in learning more buddhist and taoist context regarding Reiki practice, it's a mandatory reading. For everyone else, it's an interesting book that might expand your knowledge. A lot of information about Buddhism, tradition, symbols, a lot of illustrations and a lot of spiritual knowledge - this is what you can find in this work. Yet I have to admit, that it isn't easy to read, but the overall effect is worth the money and time. ( )

The Big Book of Reiki Symbols
The Spiritual Tradition of Symbols and
Mantras of the Usui System of Natural Healing
by Mark Hosak and Walter Lubeck

When they say big book they mean it, 671 pages of intense and much needed information on the Usui system of Reiki. I have always been intrigued by the symbols and I just had the feeling that there was a lot more than met the eye, and I was right. These guys have really gone out of their way to provide seekers such as myself, with a much broader and well rounded view. And if that wasn't enough, there is info on chakras, mantras and they go on to answer a myriad of spirit based questions in such a simple and concise way that it helped me be more at ease with my internal growth process and in touch with wiser more evolved parts of myself.

I also learned there were mudras attached to the whole thing, and I got very excited when I saw the illustrations and pictures describing exactly how to do the different positions. I read this totally enlightened instruction for awakening the soul, and it just made my day. I plan to print it out and put it on my wall so I can read it often as part of my daily practice. I would recommend this all encompassing completely satisfying labor of love to anyone interested in Reiki and different paths of spiritual development. Thank you for all the research that went into this greatly needed ambassador of light.

Love & Light,
