Here is a book that explores the relationship between Reiki and the spiritual aspects that are the bedrock of its development. Steve Gooch takes the reader on a journey of personal development through the philosophy of Reiki and Buddhist tenets and practice. Foremost in these and a fundamental pillar of Buddhist practice (and other religious/spiritual traditions) is mindfulness meditation which has the aim of gaining insight into one’s life, bringing the mind and body into harmony and assisting the path towards illumination or enlightenment. Steve draws upon his many years of experience in Reiki and study of oriental healing/spiritual practice to lead the reader through key ideas and symbolic philosophy that is both original to Reiki and interpretational. This will inspire those new to mindfulness to step deeper into personal growth, practitioners of Buddhism to explore the human experience of body and mind through Reiki and practitioners of Reiki to discover the depth and breadth of Reiki as a spiritual activity. ~ Gordon Bell - Reiki Master and senior teacher with Reiki Jin Kei Do

I just wanted to say thank you for your book and your passion for the system of Reiki. It's challenged me and reinstalled in me and reignited my passion for the importance of meditation and mindfulness in the system of Reiki. You've pushed aside the bullshit and challenged me/us to consciously evolve. If we don't raise our consciousness in our spiritual practice, then what good is it? It has to change us and challenge us.
