Review This is something different. This book describes an elegant and powerful energy-healing system that can be used straight away by all Reiki practitioners and Masters and which is based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Five Element theory. It is an energy acupuncture that requires no knowledge of meridians or acupoints: a system that is simple, intuitive and profound in its effects. Product Description The manual is unique. Firstly, it is easy-to-read, down-to-earth and really comprehensive, a complete and clear guide to the practice of Five Element Reiki, ideal for people working at Second Degree level and above. The manual distils the principles of TCM and Five Element theory in an easy to understand guide, and shows all Reiki practitioners how to detect energy imbalances in themselves and others, how to balance the elements and how to treat the elements. Five Element Reiki is an eclectic blend of techniques and principles from shiatsu and teate (traditional Japanese palm healing), mixed with a creative approach to energy work that involves a lot of intuition, creative visualisation, and the use of intent. It is a simple and uncluttered system that allows you to focus specific energies to penetrate deeply, balancing a person's energetic make-up: a simple "energy acupuncture" if you like, but you don't need to know anything about acupuncture points or meridians, thankfully About the Author Taggart King is an experienced Reiki Master who has taught students from all over the UK and in Europe, and through his Reiki home study courses has taught students all over the globe.
