This book presents a depth of insight on the original Reiki Teachings.
The author represents his views by distinguishing clear differences between Western Reiki and Reiki as taught in Japan.
In this sense, the author is not occupied with a polemic nor can one find negative judgment for the direction Reiki has taken in the West.
In fact, Vennells goes out of his way to propose this may be the Spirit of Reiki at work to disseminate its wisdom to the world.
This book is forthright and meaningful for expanding on the history of Reiki and the founders’ life.
Also interesting are the insights on the depth or Reiki presented in Japan and its sacred unfolding for initiates of the system.
While the Western appellation provides swiftness to the Master Levels, Vennells reminds us not to diminish the sacred quality of the knowledge.
Vennells also continually returns to the importance of grounding our practice in meditation and incorporating the 5 Reiki principles as an experiential guide to engaging our own spiritual core.
This book is inspiring and relevant for our contemporary moment.
We believe a timely wake up call to embody our best actions in a world growing more dysfunctional with the values of consumption, greed, hatred, and shallowness.

Easy to Read, Easy to Understand by D. Dinshaw (Chatham, NJ)

“This is one of the best books I have read on Reiki. I have been practicing and teaching Reiki for a while and it was wonderful to read a book that I could recommend. I recommend it to all my Reiki level II students because David Vennells has written exactly what I would have said if I had written a book:) It is an easy read – like he is talking to you face to face – and answers many questions you may have thought of but but were afraid to ask. What I appreciate about the author is that he is not judgemental in any way and from the begining states that the reader should accept only what makes sense to them.”

“This book will take you to the journey of Reiki and it is easy to follow and understand. It is an Instructor must have. It will take you to really specifics and will help you on your Reiki Healing Journey. He will actually tell you in the book that some things might not be for you so you can take with you what works for you.”

The referrences to Karma do not specifically resonate with my understanding of the ineffable that the author provides. Notwithstanding, I found his book to be forthright and meaningful for expanding on the history or Reiki and the founders life. Also interesting are the insights on the depth or Reiki presented in Japan and its sacred unfolding for initiates of the system.
