Description
Reiki is a technique for stress reduction which is also claimed to promote healing. It is said to create many beneficial effects including relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well-being. The technique is thought to have originated in Tibet, but was rediscovered by a Japanese Buddhist early in the 20th century. This revised edition includes the history of Reiki, and describes several successful approaches to integrate Reiki into patient care. Also included are pictures of the Usui memorial in Tokyo and of Mount Kurama where Reiki was discovered.
