Reiki, The True Story: An Exploration of Usui Reiki -- By Don BeckettHow can I get a copy of this book? The story behind the writing of Reiki, The True Story Praise for the book:"In this book, we are invited to explore one of the great spiritual movements born in the twentieth century: Reiki. Don Beckett, unlike many writers on the subject, comes not with blind affirmations regarding the life of Reiki's founder, Mikao Usui. Instead, gathering the latest discoveries made about Usui, Beckett attempts to paint the most accurate portrait possible of a man whose life has been, until now, cloaked in legend. We now see Mikao Usui more fully, as a seeker of truth, concerned about human beings and the true meaning of a human life.
"Beckett describes in detail and with clarity many of the Japanese healing techniques associated with Reiki, as well as those used by the practitioner to increase his or her connection to the universal Source. Also discussed are the archetypal Reiki symbols, their inner meanings and uses, and the energetic empowerment procedure called Reiju, which is largely unknown in Reiki today. Also incorporating selected knowledge from other disciplines, Beckett reveals not just a deeper understanding of Reiki, but a holistic understanding of the energetic nature of life. This book is not only the exploration of a teaching, but the exploration of our true nature and the means leading to its discovery."
"In what is destined to become a classic work about Rei-Ki, Beckett-sensei takes us on a step-by-step journey toward spiritual healing, which then manifests as tangible healing in all aspects of our lives. Having begun our own healing, our influence on the world around us -- like ripples from a pebble dropped into a still pond -- benefits everyone and everything. And we learn to focus our healing energy as needed. This wonderful book is your opportunity to be healed and to help heal the world."
"What makes this book an invaluable source for everyone who wants to get a closer look at Reiki is the extensive and detailed picture of Reiki's history. It is 'The True Story,' to the extent of our current knowledge: a compilation of information transmitted by people who personally knew Mikao Usui. In addition to this detailed picture, Don Beckett presents three levels of training, as learned by students of Usui himself. Based on his own seventeen years of experience in Reiki, Beckett also provides enlightening insights on such things as: What Really Happens in a Reiki Empowerment? What is True Healing? Kotodama Pronunciation and How to Make the Sounds -- to name a few. "But what especially makes this book unique is his emphasis on Reiki being a way to get to know your Self. Your real Self. 'I can't overemphasize that Reiki is about connecting to your true Self, to your innermost knowledge,' says Don Beckett. It is one of the many ways to Self-realization, to remembering and reactivating your Divine connection. "....Throughout the vast spectrum of information in this book, the recurrent theme is trusting your intuition and getting in touch with your innermost knowledge....
"Reiki is not about rules; it is you who write your own rules. Reiki is not about sacred and secret symbols, either. You yourself are sacred and you are here to remember that secret. Reiki is here to help you remember. But, as with other paths towards such a realization, remembrance through Reiki has been blocked or complicated for many. A net of rules and symbols has entrapped the understanding and the practice of Reiki, almost to the verge of suffocation. Reiki, The True Story is a book that delivers a much-needed breath of fresh air, clearing the path to remembrance."
From Ginny Mackles, a Reiki teacher in New York:
"Just wanted you to know that I am giving your book as a gift to my Shinpiden students.
From Judith van de Moesdijk, in the Netherlands:
"I recieved your book today and started reading. I've never been so sure and at peace with what I am reading and also the energies. I say energies because I felt another energy and it was not until I looked closely that I was right ... It's Johrei!!! It feels like a very long journey (10 years) coming home and learning what I always wanted to learn.
