A-Z of Reiki Pocketbook
A-Z of Reiki Pocketbook is an encyclopedia of everything Reiki. This handy little book contains everything from Advanced Reiki Training to Zui-Un. In between there are interesting mini-biographies on many of the key players in the founding, growth, and development of Reiki; information on the different methods and variations of healing; and clarification about the vocabulary, symbols, and mantras used in our practice.

When I ordered this book, I expected that it would serve as a nice little reference book. I assumed I'd flip though the pages and find some interesting facts. In this regard, I was not at all disappointed. This book is full of fascinating details. In fact, I started reading the first entry and sat down and read the whole book. I came away from the experience with a deeper understanding of my craft- not only the history, the lineages, and all of the different variations but also feeling like part of a community.

I would suggest A-Z of Reiki Pocketbook to anyone interested in studying Reiki. Those new to Reiki will find that the information contained in this book will clarify a lot of the misinformation that they may read from a variety of sources. Once they continue in their practice, these same individuals will use this book to deepen their understanding of the tradition that they reflect and how they can grow as a healer. Thereafter, the book will well used as a reference resource.

A very useful little book
This is one of those books that is so useful when you know that you know something but can't "put your finger on it". It's different from most Reiki books in that it has Reiki related facts arranged in alphabetical order. It's a bit like a mini encyclopaedia.

It's a good tool for Reiki shares if you fancy having a quiz and need to get hold of some bite size facts to throw at your students.

It doesn't go into huge amounts of detail on any of the topics but that's not what it's here for. Easy to find information is where it's at and it does the job very well.

Pocketbook of everything Reiki!
Another fine book from Frans and Bronwen Stiene.

This book is, as its title suggests, a lovely sized book ideal for slipping into pockets and handbags!

It is an A-Z of everything Reiki and cross referenced (using words typed in bold face) for ease. I like the fact that the information includes both traditional and non traditional Reiki related facts and information presented in an unbiased, well researched and concise way. The book is dotted with small but wonderful pictures, symbols and photographs which make the book a delight to look through.

This book could be useful in many situations, as a teacher of reiki it is ideal to have on hand for questions that you either do not know the answer to or those questions where sometimes you know the answer but it is just "sitting on the tip of your tongue!" Just open it up skip to the right word and there is your answer (a handy book for both Reiki evenings and courses alike).

As a person new to Reiki you can use the book to look up things as you try to find the path right for you and seek answers along the way. For those somewhere inbetween on the journey it can still answer many a question and I know that when I first opened it up I found lots of interesting fascinating facts that were new to me,it was interesting to read about 'Leiki' and the Japanese pronunciations of words for one but there is also lots of wonderful snippets to be read on the history of Reiki.

I can, and do, highly recommend this book to those interested in Reiki on any level and shall treasure this little book full of little treasures!
