11 Incredible Books About Reiki

The 11 best Books About Reiki

A few years ago, I had a little incident which brought Energy Healing to my attention (you can read all about how I almost died in a Hotel Room but Energy Healing saved me right here) and from that moment, I just knew that I had to learn more about Reiki.

And so, I did. I spent most of my free time reading books on energy healing and the more I read about it the more I felt its calling.

A few months later, I was doing my Reiki training in Peru.

For those of you who are curious about Reiki or simply want to deepen your knowledge, here is a list of the 11 Reiki books that are, in my opinion, the best resources on the subject.

Let me know what you think about it !

Here are 11 Incredible Books About Reiki you’ll absolutely want to read

#1 Essential Reiki: A Complete Guide to an Ancient Healing Art

By Diane Stein

This is one of the books that was strongly recommended during my training and after reading it myself, I too will recommend it as one of the best and most comprehensive Reiki resources out there. Ms. Stein, who has written more than 30 books on energy healing, presents in Essential Reiki incredible thorough information on all three degrees of this healing system, most of it in print for the first time. Teaching from the perspective that Reiki healing belongs to all people, Diane Stein breaks new ground in her classic guide to this ancient practice.

While no book can replace the directly received Reiki “attunements,” Essential Reiki provides everything else that the healer, practitioner, and teacher of this system needs.
