I\u2019ll be honest this book wasn\u2019t what I was expected it to be. It turned out to be more. Mr. Frans Stiene (stee-nuh) has been a major global force in Reiki. He is the co-founder of The International House of Reiki. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In this book, Mr. Stiene has written about what Reiki truly is, a spiritual practice. The founder of Reiki Mikao Usui\u2019s teachings shows that it was a spiritual practice. Reiki is a practice, has meditations on mantras and the symbols, on the hand positions, being in a meditative state while performing or receiving the reiju\/initiation\/attunement. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Stiene states that when he was working with his teachers in Japan and researching the original teachings of Mikao Usui, that the precepts where instructions to be followed. This teaching worked to help students bring about a state of wholeness. Wholeness is a state of mind: in which we are happy, content, at peace and full of compassion. This wholeness was a form of healing for the students and all who followed Usui\u2019s teachings.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In today\u2019s world, we often talk about either giving or receiving a Reiki healing. In the spiritual practice of Reiki, it was taught that you were \u201cBeing Reiki.\u201d Reiki is often called spiritual energy, and we are always working with spiritual energy in that We are Spiritual beings having a human experience.\u201d (unknown author)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Mr. Stiene also states in this book that through his research he found there is a correlation between the 5 precepts of Reiki and the 6 paramitas from Buddhism. In Japanese Buddhism, there are 3 precepts. I found it interesting that these 3 systems shared so much.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
