Book Summary There are a lot of misconceptions and questions about Reiki. This book dispels all the doubts and takes the reader through almost all the questions that normally come to one's mind regarding Reiki, the Universal life force Energy. What is Reiki; how dies Reiki heal; what are attunements; how many degrees of Reiki are there; why are the symbols and the descriptions of the attunements not be published in a book? Are they secret; can I continue drug treatments while receiving Reiki; can I get rid of addictive habits like smoking or drinking with Reiki; what are the five principles and where do they originate; how does Reiki affect chronic problems.
