One with Reiki

Book excerpt: REIKI: the BEAUTY and the PRESENCE of this MOMENT. The long awaited new book by Frank Arjava Petter allows the reader to discover and experience the many dimensions of Reiki. The reader is inspired to open his heart to the power of Reiki and to develop trust and tranquility that carry him on his Reiki path. Reiki, the healing method for the improvement of body and mind, was born out of the enlightenment experience of its founder, Mikao Usui on Mount Kurama, Japan. Reiki is much more than merely a relaxation technique or a way to treat the illnesses of body and mind: in its genius simplicity it includes everything that allows us to grow into a complete, kind, compassionate and conscious human being. With continuing practice one becomes One with the cosmos and One with Reiki. The author shines the light of experience upon both Shintoism and Buddhism as well as upon Japanese cultural values and the challenges on the path to developing the appropriate inner attitude. Frank Arjava Petter receives international acknowledgement due to his untiring efforts in his pioneering effort to bring the original Japanese Reiki tradition in reach of the Western heart.
