'Reiki Without Rules'

I would like to thank you for writing this book. As I was studying Reiki, I came across your book and it is one of my favorites. The information you provide is so in tune with Reiki. There is a lot of information out there, but your's is simple to understand and leaves no doubt what Reiki is. I too found that Reiki is "unconditional love", something I had searched for all my life and when I found Reiki, I found that love.

Anyone wanting to know about the subject should definitely get this book!

'Reiki Without Rules'

Reiki Without Rules is an excellent effort by a Reiki Master Keith Beasley to explain what Reiki is, the history of Reiki including the myths that circulate about the origins of Reiki, the need for symbols, the question of charging and all other details.

There are several books on Reiki and each author has rightly presented the material from his/her own perspective. Keith also does the same in this book and thus adds a sincere personal touch to the subject.

The printing of the book is good. A few editorial corrections (very minor) were in order.

The book will appeal to all those interested in Reiki, whether they are beginners or are Masters. I certainly enjoyed Keith's personal journey through Reiki.

I strongly recommend the book.

“Reiki Without Rules”
By Keith Beasley

This is a new book from Keith, a local author, explaining how the learning and experience of practicing Reiki has enabled him to become the person he is today.

The book gives a broad over-view of the subject and is aimed at those wishing to know more about Reiki healing in all its forms. Keith believes that it “is all things to all men” and determines in our own time if we are receptive to it.

The book is a guide to using Reiki to help ourselves and others; enabling us to “go with the flow” and enjoy our lives following our natural instincts about things.

To many people the subject seems mysterious and Keith tries to dispel the uncertainties by putting the history of Reiki into perspective; stating that it is not really important how it arrived in the Western world; just be glad that it is here now, in any shape or form we decide, it can help us when we most need it for personal growth. It is used in many guises shapes and forms, but if it works for you, why knock it? There are, as he is fond of stating often, “NO RULES”!

If we cast our doubts aside and just let it be, we will be shown the correct path to take or the right action to perform.

All the principles of Reiki are covered, through the channeling of the mind to hands on healing. There are many aspects and levels of Reiki and everyone young or old can benefit, if they are open to the experience.

Having never gone down the road of self-help books before, I was surprised at how absorbed I became, and how interested I was in the subject matter. It is one of the joys of having a bookshop with such diverse titles to dip into!

If you are curious and interested in finding out more about this title, and would like the opportunity to meet the author, come along to “The Owl Story” bookshop in Lagos on Friday 19th October, from 7pm for an informal evening and a demonstration by Keith.

'Reiki Without Rules'

I have very much wanted to tell you just how much reading your book has meant to me ...

I thoroughly enjoyed your whole approach... I have always endeavoured to think, live and breath "outside the box" my whole life! According to your definition, I think that I must have been "living the Reiki way" for quite a long time, without realising it! You express your ideas in ways, and using words, that specifically resonate with me. And your chapter on "channelling" was truely eye-opening!I just loved your description of Reiki and your comparision between romantic and unconditional love. I think that I began to develop my feelings of "true" love when I was in my teens and attended Quaker meeting so regularly., and it has been gradually growing ever since. I deeply feel that healing/Reiki will be a beautiful way of helpling me to express how and what I feel, and also greatly deepen the practice of my holistic aromatherapy as well. I just _love_ the whole concept of the Rose Community!!! What a marvellous thing to do! I only wish that a great many more people read your book! I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone and _everyone_! Thank you for writing it, Keith

'Reiki Without Rules'

When learning an art, whether it’s music, writing or healing, it’s a good idea to have a basic understanding of the rules. True artists will go on from there to find their own creative approach. In this fashion, Keith Beasley carefully explains the history and original form of Reiki and examines the rules from his perspective. He then encourages readers to use their wisdom, intuition and experience to discover the most effective Reiki form for their own lives. Reiki Without Rules is a well-written, comprehensive book presented in the true spirit of Reiki--simple, straightforward and powerful. This book is packed with great information and should answer just about any question you have about Reiki. I highly recommend it.
