The Reiki Manual: A Training Guide for Reiki Students, Practitioners and Masters. Penelope Quest with Kathy Roberts Paperback – Illustrated, January 1, 2010

I got this book as a refresher and a way to expand my knowledge as a Reiki Master Teacher. I will be referring my students to get the book to aid in their journey with Reiki!

Every student, practitioner, teacher/master needs this book on hand. I enjoyed it very much.

I bought this because it was recommended for my Reiki class. However, this book focuses mainly on the regulations of Reiki in the UK. I live in the US so this book is not relevant.

I have been attuned to the Reiki master level. This book was assigned to me to read before I received the 3rd attunement.What it has going for it:* It covers each level's information and techniques. Many of the techniques I had never heard of nor conceived before, and they were easily practiced.* It gives several versions of the 5 Reiki Principles, including a photograph of an authentic calligraphy written by Usui himself, and translated. It also offers commentary on each.* It gives many insights into the process and struggles of running a Reiki business.* It describes as many types of Reiki as one could find on the Internet; it lists information and resources to find out more.* It has multiple illustrations showing hand positions, both touching and not touching clients.Each of these things are described in concise terms, easy to read and apply. There are review questions and activities at the end of each chapter, in case this book is chosen as a text for Reiki classes.This is a great Reiki reference. It does not give any symbols, but it does describe them, and their uses in clear and practicable terms.If you want a good reiki reference, get this one. Aside from not showing the actual glyphs of the symbols, this is a comprehensive Reiki manual, just as it claims.

i have gotten more information from this manual than i did in my reiki course

I purchased this book to accompany the reiki courses I am taking. Having both the information from my instructor as well as the book has helped a great deal.The book contains lots of information and explains lots of details sometimes in more depth than the instructor. Good buy for the reiki beginner or someone more adept needing some more information.

I've started teaching Reiki from this manual while writing my own because it's laid out so nicely, covers what we need to cover, and is closest to my teaching style. The only thing I can't use are the UK regulations listed, because I'm in the United States. But, even all of that has good info. Very well written!

Very comprehensive book on Reiki. Covers every aspect of the field including how to start your business. I highly recommend

I'm a big fan of Penelope Quest and her "Reiki for Life" has been invaluable over the years that I have been a reiki practitioner. This book, although good, repeats a lot of information from "Reiki for Life" and not a great deal in the 'teaching' part, but what is there is quite useful. I felt I was paying for little new information and I did consider returning it.

I am a Reiki Master teacher and this is the absolute best teaching aid that I have ever come across. I have rewritten my manuals using this book. Top class

I have recently completed my reiki stage 2 and would like to go on to do my reiki master although not to become a teacher but just for my own personal development. This book covers everything you can think of to do with reiki from the history to the methods right through to the practicalities of legal issues and running a business so if you were thinking of becoming a practitioner this is a great reference source.

I have all of Penelope Quest books and as a Reiki Master Teacher myself this is a very handy manual to have. Penelope's writing is so easy to read and understandable. The book is filled with some fantastic techniques for practise.

Prob the bible of reiki books, covers everything you need to know, from the basics to teaching and running your own business, great references at the back , i had bought loads of books and wish had bought this one forst
