Reiki, a healing technique to channel energy by means of touch to activate the natural healing processes of the body and restore physical and emotional well-being, has long been used as an alternative method for healing personal illnesses and pain. The practice unlocks a white light healing power that already exists within each of us. First Degree Reiki Manual is designed to give students new to Reiki a guidebook to follow when offering a Reiki Treatment, as well as an overview of what Reiki is and what it does. Reiki hand positions are illustrated with descriptions of what the position treats in the Mental, Spiritual, Emotional, and Physical Worlds, or dimensions of consciousness. By following the illustrations, the First Degree Reiki student will broaden their knowledge and recognize the power of Reiki healing.
