This is one of the first books to offer a broadened understanding of the spiritual depth of Reiki healing touch by examining it in the light of one of the world's enduring religions. Chapters explore the origins of Reiki, the Hebraic roots of Jesus' own healing ministry; the healing miracles of Jesus as examples of healing touch modalities; the use of Reiki in church, hospital, and hospice settings, as well as in the context of the treatment of cancer, chronic and terminal illness, and death and bereavement. The book also provides healing rituals and spiritual practices that will help practitioners to consciously integrate the inner and outer healing journey.
