With this book Diane made a revolution. Infect she published the drawings of the reiki symbols which up to today are supposed to be revealed to the people who actually get an attunement. But if something is kept secret those who for the first time approach reiki can have problems in the understanding of Reiki. Many practitioners are confused for a while at the beginning of their Reiki experience. Those who have read this book have removed many doubts very quickly. The good point is Diane explains in great detail what each symbol means and provides the guidelines for their use. She also remarks that to perform Reiki the attunements are necessary.
At each level the person is able to receive more symbols to work with. Moreover she includes others symbols she has personally discovered in the years of experience and experimentation. It is a good informative book. The symbols are slighly different to many Reiki practitioners and as a matter of fact those reported by Diane are not considered the absolute correct ones. But then again, everyone in the Reiki community claims that their symbols are the correct symbols. This book is a great start to those practitioners who want more information, but other texts should be considered as well in order to make a well-rounded practitioner. Reiki Masters have nothing to lose with looking at this book. It is a good choice for people who have not received Reiki attunements but it will be useful when they become practitioner. It can be considered a manual in addition to other Reiki books, a good reference for Reiki Masters. Diane starts with the history of Reiki and then provides the instructions for passing attunements. Attenuement is a system of laying on of hands for healing. Further in the book she discuss about the origin of Reiki energy giving from a phylosophical point of view. In the discussion about the inclusion of the attunement process she provides details explainging both from the view of the receiver and the giver. Diane undrelines that part of the healing process is the healing of the self. In fact you must resolve your personal issues before healing someone else. Moreover many reiki masters ask the beginners to read this book before starting the lessons.

What Is Reiki? (Part I)

The action to put your hands on yours or other people’s or animals’ body to heal is in our nature. When we feel pain the first thing we do is to bring our hands where we have pain.
When we have fever we put our hands on our forehead to reduce suffer. The touch brings heat, serenity and healing.
Animals do almost the same when they leak a wounded part of their body.
In the animal world a mother leaks her kids when they are sick and human beings touch their babies with their hands.

The human or animal body irradiates heat and energy, which is vital force. This concept is well known and mentioned in all the human cultures, and this energy has different names according to each of these cultures. For example in India it is called Prana and because of this name we today talk about prana healing. Chinese call it Chi and for this reason today we know about Ch’i Kung, an ancient healing discipline.

In Reiki the healers have to open the energetic channels and to remove the blocks through harmonisations. The healers receive the energy to heal them and connect to the source of the universal energy, also called universal Ki.

Reiki is not a religion; neither is connected to a religion. It is the source of life. It is an entity and as a concept is even older than religious philosophy.

Every living thing has Ki inside. Who or what receives a harmonisation or attenuement is in direct contact with its illuminated source.
There is more than one level of attenuement. With the first level the living entity becomes a channel that drives the energy. When the first attenuement is received, in the future the entity has to put its hands on its or other entities’ body to connect to the universal Ki. The energy will flow automatically.

The attenuement that put into direct contact to the source of Ki, increases the vital energy also of those receiving it. They realize an energy that heals them and they would be able to heal other people, and this energy will not extinguish.
When receiving the attenuement the entity is getting a gift which will change its life in positive.
