RZ403-R45S74 1995 615.8’52—dc20 95-2643 eISBN: 978-0-307-78363-9 Illustrations by Ian Everard Calligraphy by Carl Rohrs v3.1 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Many people have helped me make this book possible. First of all I thank Elaine Goldman Gill and John Gill, co-owners of The Crossing Press for their encouragement and willingness to publish what may be a controversial book. Teaching Elaine Reiki I, II, and II at the Mystical Dragon Bookstore in Carlsbad, California (Lammas, 1993), was one of the highpoints of this lifetime. I thank Richard Donovan for legal advice, Diana Acuna for alternate teaching techniques and symbol information, and Sasha Daucus for help locating rare books and for her constant encouragement. Jane Brown and Linda Page read and critiqued the manuscript, and Jane Brown and Carol Hunner provided important material on the Ki Exercises. Patty Callahan of Brigit Books, St. Petersburg, Florida and Joy Weaver of Treasures Bookstore, Tampa, Florida were also instrumental in book searches. Laurel Steinhice and Suzanne Wagner were among the women who shared channeling sessions on Reiki with me over several years. Detong Cho Yin patiently explained Buddhism to me when I knew nothing about it and offered other information that proved vital to this book. I also thank the several people who gave me my own Reiki training, knowing that I would share everything I learned and would eventually write about it. They gave me training in traditional teaching to supplement my nontraditional methods, and others offered insight and even attunements at first meetings. Though they are unnamed I thank them all deeply. I also wish to thank my many teaching Reiki III’s, the students who are continuing to carry Reiki to as many people as wish to learn it at affordable prices. A few of the many include Jill Elizabeth Taylor, Anastasia Marie Zepp, Jane Brown, Sasha Daucus, Diana Acuna, Tom Oakley, Carolyn Taylor, Lisa Severn, and Liz Tarr. I thank them for their friendship and their work. DISCLAIMER Healing and medicine are two very different disciplines and the law requires the following disclaimer: The information in this book is not medicine but healing, and does not constitute medical advice. In case of serious illness consult your practitioner of choice.
