Reiki For Life by Penelope Quest Review

I bought Reiki For Life by Penelope Quest a few years after completing my Level 1 reiki attunement course when I was looking to do Level 2.

I had already previously bought her  book entitled ‘An Introduction to Reiki’ prior to booking my level 1 course and found it extremely helpful to get into the mindset of what reiki was and what was involved in participating in healing.

It incorporates most of the information and sub practices included in usui reiki and is a great handbook to go alongside being reiki attuned, especially if you are being distance attuned. It shows all the hand positions, chakras and their locations and meanings of parts of the body and types of emotional and mental energies.

The ‘Being Creative’ is an excellent addition showing the numerous instance where reiki can be used including food, crystals and on pets.

The Traditional techniques includes the Usui traditional use of ‘Gassho’, ‘Hatsurei-Ho’.

The author describes herself as ‘.. a Reiki Master of the Usui, Tibetan and Karuna healing tradition with twelve years experience in the practice and teaching of this ancient healing art.’
