Reiki The Ultimate Guide Learn Sacred Symbols & Attunements plus Reiki Symbols You Should Know Paperback – November 1, 2003

I had taken Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 from a Reiki Master in Sedona, AZ, and felt that I wanted to further my Reiki education, but didn't know where to start. I had questions about Reiki that my Reiki Master couldn't answer, and so, I didn't feel confident to go out into the world and practice Reiki in a professional setting. I knew that clients would ask me questions that I, like my Reiki Master, wouldn't be able to answer. So, I prayed for guidance and asked to be directed to someone who could help me.Not long after my prayer, I found Steve Murray purely by accident. I had gone into a bookstore in Sedona, AZ and on a shelf in front of me was his "Reiki Psychic Attunement" DVD. I was a little skeptical at first, since my Reiki Master had told me that attunements needed to be received in person, but something about his creative use of Reiki intrigued me, so I purchased the DVD, along with Steve's "Reiki Healing Attunement" DVD, and I still can't believe the results I received!I received such powerful attunements from his DVD's!! I had always been psychic with natural healing abilities, but his attunements seemed to amplify my skills even more! I began having consistent clairvoyant visions after taking his "Reiki Psychic Attunement" DVD, and I received almost instant healing of some stress related conditions, I had been dealing with for some time, shortly after taking his "Reiki Healing Attunement", from his DVD. The results I received were nothing short of miraculous! I definitely knew then that there was power in his DVD attunements! And that attunements didn't have to be taken in person in order to be effective!So, I purchased all the rest of his DVD's and Books and have never been disappointed!! His Books are written so clearly and concisely that anyone, no matter what their educational background can understand them . Steve is very generous with the wealth of information he provides in both his Books and his DVD's , and when I was finished (reading his books and taking his attunements) I truly felt I had finally attained a solid foundation from which to practice Reiki professionally.I ended up finishing my Reiki Master with Steve Murray, and I truly feel it's the best decision that I have ever made! All my questions about Reiki have finally been answered through his Books and DVD's and I feel so grateful to have found him!If you are interested in Reiki education, there is no better person to work with than Steve Murray! I have read many, many Reiki authors and there is no one that comes close! I am convinced, that the results you'll receive, from Steve Murray's Reiki Books and DVD's, will truly astound you! As they have truly astounded me! I don't care what anyone says, distance attunements really work!!!My dream has been, for sometime now, to practice Reiki professionally, but I was afraid to, because I didn't feel I had all my questions answered. I didn't feel I had a solid foundation from which to work from, but now, because of Steve Murray's Books and DVD's, I feel that I finally have the knowledge and confidence necessary to succeed! Steve Murray's Reiki Books and DVD's have truly made my dream a reality! And for that, I will be forever grateful to him!Whether your goal is to work professionally with Reiki, or to use it to heal and enhance your everyday life, you can't go wrong with Steve Murray's Books and DVD's. They are truly worth the investment! I know I will be referring to them for reference, and reinforcement, for many years to come! God bless Steve Murray!

I was enthusiastically recommending this the first Volume in the Ultimate Guide series, to a friend. She asked, 'But will I understand it, because you've had years of learning about Reiki and I'm just beginning'. My reply was that this guide is for us all and is easily understood as Steve Murray, the excellent teacher that he is, makes clear and even simple things that others make complicated and often do not explain at all. It is true that I began my Reiki experience more than twenty years ago, when I had to memorize the symbols. (I have to admit that I drew the symbols very small and secretly and carried them with me equally secretly, so that I would get them right.) Now to my great relief in Steve Murray's Guides the symbols are in plain sight and beautifully introduced in the stages of the attunements. Now I can proceed with confidence with Reiki. I can get it right and some of my learning needed correction.Each term is explained, as it is introduced. The book, as with all of the Guides, has been produced with great care and thought so that there is nothing superfluous but also nothing is omitted that can help in understanding Reiki, and what the attunements for the three levels are, why they are important and the process. The latter part is given in a step by step form, photographs together with the appropriate symbols in the correct postions. The questions one has about Reilki, e.g. can Reiki be sent to people in need of healing without their permission, (yes it can, with a provision), are answered as one reads further. Steve Murray knows the questions that we have and addresses the concerns and blurry areas; his many students have asked these questions and he explains all areas with logic and clarity and does not avoid the difficult or contraversial.Five stars don't seem adequate for this Guide and all the other Guides which explain in clear detail more specialized areas of working with Reiki. I haven't mentioned his beautifully produced and most effective DVDs. I am glad to have found at last the information I need in the Guides and DVDs. At last I feel my work with Reiki will really take off. I have much to learn but now I have the resources. My thanks to a courageous and excellent teacher, Reiki Master. Reiki has been brought out into the light, so that we can learn, become attuned and attune, and become the healing influences so badly needed.

I really enjoyed this book, the reason why it got 4 instead of 5 stars is I felt some sections were worded poorly that could have easily been caught by a better editor.I think Steve knows his stuff, and if you're new or a seasoned reiki student I think you'll find something of value within these pages.I especially liked the more advanced chapters on psychic reiki attunements, healing attunements, and beaming and scanning.
