Richard Ellis is the author of two further books on Reiki and a complementary health practitioner specialising in the relationship between mind and body. He is a teacher of Reiki, a clinical Hypnotherapist, NLP practitioner and a teacher of 5 element Qigong. Richard's career in complementary therapy began in the early 1990's completing his training as a Reiki instructor by early 1995. He then continued to work alongside his teacher June Woods, whilst living at the Findhorn Foundation in Scotland. Following a period of travel and international teaching, he was approached to write his first book 'Empower your life with Reiki' published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1999. This book was published in the United States by Sterling Publishing and re-titled 'Practical Reiki' and went on to be translated into several languages. Following the success of Practical Reiki, he started work on his second book 'Reiki and the Seven Chakras' published in 2002 by Vermillion. It has been translated into several languages and has sold over 35,000 copies in the English language. His keen interest in the chakra system, the nature of disease and the link between mind and body, has led him to develop his own training program utilizing posture analysis and non verbal communication called 'The Body Never Lies'. Richard Ellis runs his healing practice from East Dorset England where he lives with his family.
