Book Reviews of The Reiki Magic Guide to Self-attunement
Book Review: Thoughtful Exploration of New Ways to Use Reiki
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a book that I first read a few years ago. I attuned myself to some of the symbols, liked the way they worked, and didn't do much with the rest of the book. After I was attuned to Karuna(R) Reiki, I found that those symbols covered and extended what I had been doing with Bevell's symbols, so I let them fall by the wayside. (Let me emphasize, though, that those symbols are a valuable addition to Usui Reiki.)
Re-reading this book recently, I realized that I was now ready to work with the AMAZING techniques Bevell has developed/discovered involving reiki "cords" and "batteries," and particularly working with one's sahu (an ancient Egyptian term that might -- very loosely -- be rendered as "over soul"). I think most of us grow into our reiki practice over time, and begin to realize that a lot of the "rules" various teachers impose have much more to do with the teachers' own fears and limitations rather than the parameters of reiki energy itself. Bevell is extremely conscientious about ethical applications while fearless in exploring possibilities. He believes that we are obligated to find everything we can do with reiki to heal ourselves, each other, and our endangered planet. These extended techniques are what constitute the "magic" part of the book.
I appreciate Bevell's wish to make all of reiki available to everyone. My own experience, and my work with many other reiki practitioners, cause me to feel that the ideal is to work with a really good reiki master through the master practitioner level -- at that point, one is better prepared to receive distance attunements and self-attunements. This book is much easier to understand if you have more experience in using reiki and constitutes a really advanced course in reiki techniques. However, reiki teachers -- especially "really good" reiki teachers -- are not always available, and working thoughtfully and carefully through this book will give any serious student a solid foundation. I do recommend taking time between attunements and practicing a lot of "basic" reiki before working with the more advanced techniques. When you take time to assimilate an attunement and practice with the energy, you become better able to channel that energy.
I am finding these new applications amazingly effective and I'm grateful for Bevell's work. He has helped me improve the quality of my practice.
Summary of The Reiki Magic Guide to Self-attunement
Reiki tradition dictates that you must be initiated-or attuned-by a Reiki master before properly practicing this healing art of energy flow. Now, in this revolutionary guide, Reiki Master Brett Bevell breaks with convention and extends the transformative powers of Reiki to all by presenting at-home rituals for self-attunement. In the true healing spirit of Reiki, Bevell encourages creativity and experimentation with the practice, allowing you to personalize Reiki for everyday use. With twenty-one symbols to empower the flow of Reiki, as well as chants for attuning candles, stones, and even the water in your bath or washing machine, this is Reiki as you'¬?ve never seen it before: available to everyone, for use in all aspects of life, as Reiki was always meant to be.Alternative Medicine Books
