    <body><![CDATA[Wow!  She's a total pioneer in Reiki. Interesting read. Also goes against what I have learned (sharing symbols prior to attunements).  However, I like her philosphy of giving everyone healing and attunements, regardless of whether they can afford it.  Controversial for sure, bold and I love it.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[As a Reiki Master, I recommend this book to students and anyone interested in learning about Reiki. Naturally, you will not grasp the full beauty or understanding of what Reiki is unless you work with a practitioner. But Diane's book gives a wonderful preview that opens doors for further studies. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I re read this one every time I teach another Reiki class. I do not agree with everything that Stein writes but I do believe this book is a must have reference for Reiki practitioners and teachers.

    <body><![CDATA[A very folks-y approach to Reiki.  Lays out what it is, how it works and what you can (and can't) do with it.  The author does interject a lot of Wiccan ideas and some man-hating rises to the top, but overall, a very informative book. ]]></body>
