The Original Reiki Handbook of Dr. Mikao Usui: The Traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho Treatment Positions and Numerous Reiki Techniques for Health and Well-being

Eventually I received my copy and it really made my heart sing! The revelations revealed about the original Japanese Reiki Techniques confirmed everything. They also showed me so much more about how Dr Usui used different positions for different ailments. This information is invaluable to every Reiki practitioner due to the huge difference between JRT and the Western Oral Tradition.

I recommend this book to all of my Reiki students excellent for home study, homework and practise if one wishes to develop one's skills and work intuitively just like Dr Usui did.

Blessings to Frank Arjava Petter to have the courage to continue his search for truth and provide another publication touched with his heart.

A must for all Reiki practitioners   February 5, 2003

A valuable insight into the true roots of Reiki before it came to the West. The book is packed with photos and diagrams for treatment of all manner of mental and physical ailments and so in some ways could be seen as little more than a reference book. It does provide more than that though with information on Reiki's beginnings and newly re-discovered practices of Dr. Usui, the man who discovered Reiki.

Koomo Ashifaro, my Reiki Master. Recommended this book to me. I have to say that I wasn't disapppointed. I thought there could be more text though, it is filled out somewhat with photos, but still a good read. Koomo Ashifaro was right!


Excellent and very useful for the practitioner.   May 24, 2001

Frank Petter's books on Reiki are down to earth and useful for the Reiki practitioner. This one is the best Reiki book I have read to date, it dispells many of the so called rules that have been attributed to Dr Usui through the Western Masters.

This book is a translation of the manual given to students of Reiki by Dr Usui.The book has been thoughtfully and beautifully produced and contains a wealth of photos depicting the original Reiki hand positions. It is really refreshing to get authentic verifiable information on the origins of Reiki when there is so much "channeled" nonsense written on the subject. For anyone genuinely interested in Reiki this book is a great buy.
