The Reiki Sourcebook is a great general resource that should be on every Reiki practitioner’s bookshelf. Topics explored range from basic information and the history of Reiki through courses and an explanation of the complexity of lineages to specific Japanese and Western Reiki techniques.

As its title suggests, " The Reiki Sourcebook " is an excellent compilation of up-to-date information, techniques and contacts in the world of Reiki - an absolutely indispensable resource that everyone involved with practical Reiki will want to own... '

What an incredible work from Bronwen and Frans' hearts. There is so much I would want people to read. Suffice to say it is a must for all Reiki people. Now there is an informative practical book that covers all the different branches and levels of Reiki. This book brings us into a relationship with Reiki that is centered. In this center where love and respect are we find "the fuel that gives ultimate structure and purpose in life, Reiki." Well done! I applaud you both

The Reiki Sourcebook is a gift to humanity. It declutters and demystifies so many misconceptions about Reiki. From the perspective of the vulnerable, susceptible would-be client they can easily find out what Reiki is and also what not to expect. To course participants it presents clear info and advice on many things beyond the tutors basic remit. For master-teachers this is also a valuable reference tool for all to share. If Reiki is to become part of mainstream integrated healthcare and be professionally accepted The Reiki Sourcebook is also 'a must' for fellow healthcare practitioners. Thanks so much to Frans and Bronwen for this inspired work.

You will find EVERYTHING you would like to know about Reiki in this book, for this is the most updated and extensive work. This book will be highly appreciated and treasured.

It is time that such a book be written.

The definitive manual for teacher, student and general reader alike.

The most comprehensive book on the system of Reiki ever produced.

In this invaluable resource you will find a chronological history of Reiki, treatments, techniques, branches of Reiki and so much more. There is something for everyone between the humble pages of this book, for beginners, teachers and everyone in between. I feel that this is a must have for anyone who is seeking the rewarding and enlightened path of hands on healing.

If you are a Reiki practitioner who learned the art anywhere outside Japan, there are three things you need to do right now: 1) Sit down. 2) Get these books and read them, footnotes and all. 3) Revise your understanding of Reiki and you practice accordingly...much of what you learned about this gentle healing art is about to be shaken right down to its foundation. You can choose whether to sway like a Tokyo high-rise or crumble in response, but either way, you're in for some shock waves. If you practice Reiki, you need to read these books.

I recently purchased Bronwen and Frans Stiene's book The Reiki Sourcebook and have only put it down to sleep (actually it fell out of my hands when I couldn't fight it any more).
I am a Reiki Teacher, however, anyone who has ever had any interest in, or curiosity about Reiki would benefit greatly from this book. ALL of the info on ALL of the branches and every method, Japanese history, western history, documented history, created history, every technique, website, association, newsletter and more! All served up with no prejudice, ego or slant whatsoever.
The Stiene's have tirelessly researched, interviewed and documented to be able to give us "everything we ever wanted to know about Reiki but all of the answers were never in one place...until now!" (which I think should be the sub-title of the book).
This book is my new best friend and I'm sure will be the most used reference book in my library. In fact, I can probably donate 20 or so of the other books I have on Reiki as all of the info is in one place now. (Available @ Amazon.com)
Thank you Bronwen and Frans!
The Reiki world owes you many gasshos.
