Suggested Readings/Development

There are many books written about Reiki. Many contain helpful and insightful understandings and techniques. As with any reading you are encouraged to test what is written against your own understandings and beliefs. Always question and test. Accept what sits well with you.

We continue to read, contrast and compare books written from a variety of traditions including Qi Gong, Yoga, Shinkiko and Vipassana. The following is only a guide.Suggested Background Reading For The Reiki Practitioner following attainment at each level:
