Book review: Llewellyn's Complete Book of Reiki

Hello there, you guys! How are you feeling?
I'm been reading more about other topics beside necromancy and the Ancestors, because there's always new to learn. I became a reiki master more than a year ago, and wanted to go deeper, discove more about this healing system, and I'm happy to say that Llewellyn's Complete Book of Reiki: Your Comprehensive Guide to a Holistic Hands-On Healing Technique for Balance and Wellness, by Melissa Tipton, was exactly what I needed. Thanks to the publisher for sending this copy!


  • Print Length: 408 pages
  • Publisher: Llewellyn Publications (March 8, 2020)
  • Publication DateMarch 8, 2020
  • ISBN-10: 0738761834
  • ISBN-13: 978-0738761831


The author starts by explaining the key concepts behind this pactice and that we tend to overlook (ok, we actually do it, assuming we already know them,) such as energy and matter, after which she goes on to describe what reiki is all about, the history, the myths surrounding it, and the origins or many practices.
Melissa Tipton also offers several meditation and techniques to use, some of them for non-practitioners, some to boost your psychic senses, others to develop a better reiki practice, and many to use during therapies. She also offers guidance in matters such as symbols, how to find the right teacher, how to teach reiki, which are the most heard-of branches of reiki, and so on. Seriously, there's nothing you cannot find!
What I liked the most about Llewellyn's Complete Book of Reiki is that is was easy to follow, to understand and doesn't require anything more than your visualization skills in order to practice. The illustrations offer also a lot of visual help when locating imortant spots on the body of the patient in case you need to apply any of the techniques explained in the book, such as massages, which go hand in hand with reiki to give a better therapy.
To be honest, there was a lot of information I ignored. With so much information out there, it's heard to decide who to trust, but Melissa Tipton is a voice I will listen to as much as I can. She has a style that makes the reading feel like a conversation between her and the reader, but one of those that leave you craving for more since she doesn't hold anyting back. How to practice, how to become more sensible, start a bussiness, even some legal advice, and more!
Llewellyn's Complete Book of Reiki: Your Comprehensive Guide to a Holistic Hands-On Healing Technique for Balance and Wellness, by Melissa Tipton, was everything I hoped it would be and more. I'm still left with some questions and doubts, but it's a matter of practice and experience. If you're a reiki practitioner, someone interested in it, or a teacher searching for a reliable source to know more about reiki, a book you can recommend, go get your copy of this book that honors its title!
