Beyond the concept of energy healing, the system of Reiki was engineered as a powerful spiritual development practice built on the foundation of mindfulness meditation. Diving into the esoteric Buddhist heart of the practice and drawing on the teachings at the centre of the Buddho system (the origins of secular Reiki), this book will guide you to a deeper understanding and more fulfilling engagement with the practice.
New information and insights into the methods, mechanics and philosophy of Reiki make this an essential read for anyone interested in the system's original heart and purpose. As Reiki comes under increasing scrutiny over its health-supportive characteristics, now is the time to shine a light on its relationship with mindfulness practice in helping to alleviate the suffering of the human condition.

"Here is a book that explores the relationship between Reiki and the spiritual aspects that are the bedrock of its development. Steve Gooch takes the reader on a journey of personal development through the philosophy of Reiki and Buddhist tenets and practise. Foremost in these and a fundamental pillar of Buddhist practise (and other religious/spiritual traditions) is mindfulness meditation which has the aim of gaining insight into one's life, bringing the mind and body into harmony and assisting the path towards illumination or enlightenment.
"Steve draws upon his many years of experience in Reiki and study of oriental healing/spiritual practise to lead the reader through key ideas and symbolic philosophy that is both original to Reiki and interpretational. This will inspire those new to mindfulness to step deeper into personal growth, practitioners of Buddhism to explore the human experience of body and mind through Reiki and practitioners of Reiki to discover the depth and breadth of Reiki as a spiritual activity."
