The Inner Heart of Reiki: Rediscovering Your True Self, by Frans Stiene
This is so much more than a book on Reiki. It's a deep study of Mikao Usui's original Japanese system of spiritual awakening and energy healing, founded by Usui in 1922. Reiki Master Frans Stiene, is an internationally reknowned Reiki authority and teacher on Usui's Ryoho Reiki. He was my teacher/mentor for all the levels of Reiki that led up to my master Shinpiden designation.
Reiki: A Self-Practice to Live in Peace With Self & Others,
by Elise Brenner, PhD
& Nancy Spatz, MD
This is the book I wish I'd found first in my Reiki journey. Very easy to understand and comprehend. Plus, at just 160 pages, it's an easy read. If you're just starting out with Reiki, or curious, this is the place to start.
This is Reiki: Transformation of Body, Mind, & Soul from the Origins to the Practice,
by Frank Arjava Petter
One of the first of its kind for teachers and practitioners of Reiki on its origins and history.
Effortless Being,
by David Bingham
READ THIS! For years I've searched to try to figure out where my true self is...how do I access it...I always thought of it as something so deeply hidden within me that it would be a lifelong process of rediscovery. THIS book changes everything!
The Japanese Art of Reiki by Bronwen & Frans Stiene
Great Reiki source for traditional Japanese perspective.
Meditation: First and Last Step, by Ivan Antic
I don't really know this author, but this book changed everything for me. Not really so much about meditation as, for me, it was a deeper understanding of divine consciousness and awareness. It might be a difficult book for someone just beginning the journey, but definitely add it as soon as you can.
Becoming Supernatural, by Dr. Joe Dispenza
Not what you think. No supernatural voodoo here. Dr. Joe shows how we can recondition our minds, offers proven meditations that affect the brain, and shares case-studies.
The Untethered Soul: the Jouney Beyond Self, by Michael A. Singer
Such a great book. Singer helps "...you uncover the source and fluctuations of your inner energy. It then delves into what you can do to free yourself from the habitual thoughts, emotions, and energy patterns that limit your consciousness." It's deep, but so worth it.
The Inner Heart of Reiki, by Frans Stiene
Looking at Reiki's spiritual teachings. New Edition! This is a great book that takes you deeper into your Reiki journey.
