Folks tend to think REIKI is so subtle that you must just "believe" in it. Since my first degree initiation & training I've discovered that Reiki is profound and far reaching; there is no need to believe anything - just FEEL it working! This book is wonderful for those new to REIKI, answering the questions that may arise even as REIKI teaches you through your practice. Those in search of REIKI treatment or initiation should read Pamela's excellent information on the different "flavors" of REIKI before chosing a source. Very Worthwhile! Aloha, Cloudia Charters;
Author of Hawaii Novel, Guidebook, and Spiritual Journey: [[ASIN:1598006495 ALOHA Where You Like Go?: From Survival to Satisfaction by Honolulu Taxi]] Here is a very down to earth yet wise book by a very reputable Reiki Master: [[ASIN:0972249109 My Naked Journey: A Reiki Master's Quest to Live Authentically]]

I've read Pamela's book and attended her Level 1 Reiki Training. This is a clearly written explanation of Reiki's history and it's current practice. What makes Pamela's book special is the extensive discussion of the relationship between today's practice of medicine and Reiki. Much of this information comes from Pamela's years of experience in providing Reiki as a Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) in major New York hospitals, working with many world-renowned doctors. So the holistic view of health, healing and balance is excellently presented here.

Pamela's writing is also a joy to read, and her integrity to the pure practice of Reiki without any other modes of healing "thrown in or added on" is refreshing in this field. And, if you are in the New York area and looking for Reiki treatment or instruction, I would highly recommend you contacting Pamela personally-[..]
