| * " Essential Reiki" By Diane Stein, In my oppinion, is a blatant missuse of Dr. Usui's gift. Ms Stein has used Reiki as a way to advance her own personal vanities and beliefs. |

| I wish to further acknowledge Cynthia Sue Larson for her inspiring article on tuning your Chakras. (music works with most anything, Doesn't it?) Carell Ann Farmer For her bravery in Speeking the truth William Rand For seeking the truth and enlightning us. Marcia Mortensson For her wisdom and guidance. And all the Reiki Masters and Practitioners Past, present and future, that are helping to Heal the Earth in these times of transition. Together I know we can go from this phase of existance to the next without turmoil. |
| With a grateful heart I wish to acknowledge the people that have influenced me and guided me to this glorious path called Reiki. My young and unsuspecting son Gian Pasquale. He has been a great inspiration and guided me to search my soul for truth. The Reiki master that inspired and coached me through my first and second level Chiara Guarascio. The Inspiring words of Reiki Master Serena Lumieri The person that first introduced me to Reiki, Beverly Hartman And my Goddess who thought me that the Universe wants me to be happy... So I am. |
In My Opinion There has been a great deal of controversy in regard to weather it is right to sell the Reiki symbols to all in the form of a book or in any other form rather that to pass them on through attunements. Even my former sensei has given me grief over my feelings towards this subject. Non the less, It is the deep down; heart felt sentiment of this lowly soul, that we do indeed need as many Reiki Masters in this world as possible, to promote universal healing, but not at the cost of the integrity of Reiki. To promote one�s own interests and to use Reiki as a means of monetary gain, without the actual spreading and attuning to the Reiki Ideals is wrong. There are many people using Reiki to attune others and are making a good living from it. I applaud such efforts, but to write a book and placing it on the stand for all to BUY is just a means of prostituting the Reiki Ideals. |
