This book is a study on Reiki according to this eastern approach. It goes deep into the roots of spirituality and Indian culture, and refers to the teachings of spiritual Masters. Therefore it does not fit in, with what is generally expected of an “orthodox” Reiki book which can be summarized as follows: a total respect for the narrow western conceptions of Reiki, an enthusiastic description of its qualities and not a single mention of its limits, a total ignorance of its present dramatic evolution, a new betrayal of the Reiki symbols, beautiful photos of beautiful hands on beautiful bodies and most of all, nothing new In this book I want to share my efforts to discover the reality of Reiki and my questioning concerning what we really know about this tradition. I want to explore what remains hidden behind the American Reiki package that everybody has bought and accepted as the definite truth without any discussion
