Book SynopsisReiki techniques originated in Japan, in an intensely spiritual period of that country's history. This fully illustrated book traces the system's evolution from a spiritual self-development system to a direct hands-on practice. The journey moves from Japan to the USA, out to the world, and back to Japan. Focussing on the basic elements in their historical context, this guide contains beautifully grounded information that captures a unique sense of the system's traditional Japanese roots. The clarity and accessibility of the teachings in the book redefine and strengthen the concept of Reiki as it is practised today.Trade ReviewPraise for the Reiki Sourcebook: 'What an incredible work.

Book SynopsisIn the course of his work for the charitable organization Salem, Thom Hartmann personally witnessed famine in Uganda, chaos in Russia, and genocide in Colombia--all signs that modern cultures have lost the connection to the sacred, both within and without, that was emblematic of older cultures. To truly flourish, the human spirit needs to be present in its surroundings and attuned to the Now. It needs to act on what it knows is possible and to experience how the smallest actions can have massive consequences. This is the reality of the Prophet’s Way, a path--both literal and figurative--that the author walked with his spiritual mentor Herr Müller that skirts the edge of the precipice, where one can experience a truly spontaneous life under seemingly overwhelming and impossible circumstances. In The Prophet’s Way, Thom Hartmann shares his intense spiritual journey, a story that melds recent discoveries in science with ancient truths. Through insightful and engaging vignettes Hartmann teaches that accepting the challenge to have faith means living on the edge--remaining in the moment--because it is here where the material and spiritual worlds meet. He offers readers a unique view into his experiences of expanded consciousness, providing a powerful example of how we can re-create our future by reconnecting to the sacred heartbeat of the world.

Book SynopsisFor the first time in print, shamanic techniques are introduced that healers and Reiki practitioners can draw on to tap into ancient healing wisdom. Shamanism and Reiki are, by themselves, powerful ways to heal. Together, their power multiplies, and healing methods become available that aren't accessible if they're used separately. The purpose of "Shamanic Reiki" is to introduce you to concepts in both and provide you with detailed proven methods to enhance your own healing practices, or to work on yourselves. "Shamanic Reiki" empowers the healer / Reiki practitioner to trust their instincts, recognizing that healing is an evolving and dynamic art; to facilitate change requires the healer to trust in spirit and work creatively with the universal life force energy. Now it's your turn to discover the combined power of Reiki and shamanism.Trade ReviewStudents often ask me if Reiki and shamanic healing can be bridged together. Llyn Roberts and Robert Levy brilliantly teach all of us that yes they can and more importantly show us how. There is a great need for "Shamanic Reiki". This book teaches us about the power of love, light, and respect for all of life. Roberts and Levy did a magnificent job. Sandra Ingerman, author of Soul Retrieval and How to Heal Toxic ThoughtsNo ordinary book "Shamanic Reiki" introduces the combination of Reiki and Shamanism with rare empathy, wisdom and insight. This is a book that touches the heart of the human condition. Ipupiara Makunaiman, Shaman of the Ure-reu-wau-wau tribe of the Brazilian AmazonThe alchemy of shamanism and Reiki is nothing less than pure gold in the hands of Llyn Roberts and Robert Levy. "Shamanic Reiki" brings the concept of energy healing to a whole new level. More than a how-to-book, it speaks to the health of the human spirit, a journey we must all complete. Brian Luke Seaward, Ph.D., author of Stand Like Mountain, Flow Like Water and Quiet Mind, Fearless Heart"Shamanic Reiki" offers the gift of healing magic. A practical, relevant book with a depth that speaks to the soul, this is a vital reference for both shamanic and Reiki practitioners. Roberts and Levy provide all the skills needed to heal ourselves and others, and to know our souls more deeply. Fascinating reading for anyone interested in health and well being, with knowledge that can easily be put to good use in everyday life. This is one to keep and refer to often. Ross Heaven, author of Love's Simple Truths, The Way of the Lover, and Plant Spirit ShamanismShamanic healing techniques can help remove obstacles on ones spiritual path. In the same way, they can remove similar energy blocks which create illness. The understanding of energy as a healing and wholing tool is described in great detail by the authors and will help the Reiki practitioner understand some of the phenomena which can occur during (and as a result of) Reiki treatments. Shamanic Reiki is a wonderful, easy to follow instruction guide which illuminates the matrix underlying Shamanic andenergetic healing. All praise to Llyn and Robert for their fine work. Paula Horan, author of Exploring Reiki, 108 Questions and Answers.Finally we have an inspiring book that weaves together two important models of healing - Shamanism and Reiki. Roberts and Levy demonstrate clearly and gracefully from their own extensive practice how vital it is for everyone, whether client or healer, to be worthy channels and vessels of the Life Force. The authors are reliable and sensible guides who lead us gently into a deeper understanding of the dynamics of health and wellbeing. Tom Cowan, author of Yearning for the Wind, Fire in the Head: Shamanism and the Celtic Spirit, Shamanism as a Spiritual Practice for Daily Life, and The Way of the Saints: Prayers, Practices, and Meditation.I have been healed by great shamans from many cultures and by great Reiki masters. I have felt the magical power of the two combined through personal healings from Llyn Roberts. Now, this incredible book, "Shamanic Reiki", opens the door for all of us. Llyn and Robert guide us on a journey into healing and self-discovery that integrates ancient techniques with the needs of our modern world. John M. Perkins, New York Times best selling author of Confessions of An Economic Hit Man, Shapeshifting, and The World Is As You Dream It."Shamanic Reiki" is a magnificent book. It honors and blends the timeless wisdom of ancient healing traditions with emerging new approaches and practical teachings. It functions as a rainbow bridge between worlds, honoring the best of these worlds. The concept that shamanic ancient healing energy is similar to Reiki offers a new horizon of wisdom that combines the riches of both healing traditions. These teachings provide us with clues for how to participate with living earth wisdom. Cleicha Toscano, Shaman and teacher from the Peruvian highlands."Shamanic Reiki" opens a valuable toolbox for those seeking to expand their traditional Reiki practice. Roberts and Levy offer a generous array of approaches, encouraging the reader to choose what works best for them according to their unique relationship to spirit and whatever's called for in the midst of healing. Shamanic Reiki gave me a lot of ideas for my own practice and variations to familiar techniques that I hope to explore. Christopher Penczak, author of Magick of Reiki.

Book SynopsisRestore resilience at its developmental source through energy medicine When neuroscientist Stephanie Mines started practising the hands-on healing art of Jin Shin, she began to unravel the mystery of trauma and the secret to resilience. As a survivor of early childhood abuse, police brutality as a social justice activist, and a series of dysfunctional and abusive relationships, Mines was profoundly curious about how the human nervous system finds resilience despite the cumulative burden of chronic stress and traumatic life events. While earning her doctorate in neuropsychology, she met Mary Iino Burmeister, master of the art of Jin Shin, through one of Mary’s first American students, Pamela Markarian Smith, founder of the Jin Shin Institute. Jin Shin consists of non-invasive touch, using the fingertips, on sites of the body that are similar to acupuncture points. After Jin Shin helped Mines resolve her own trauma and awaken her innate resilience, she began to incorporate it into her clinical research. She discovered that the Jin Shin sites correlate with the Chinese Extraordinary Meridians or Rivers of Splendor, which develop prenatally. She then began investigating our earliest neuro­developmental processes and was able to correlate the Jin Shin sites with specific embryological events. She found that subtle touch on these sites in combination with trauma resolution amplifies neuroresilience, enhances creativity, restores motivation, and heals the fragmentation and disconnection associated with trauma and shock. Sharing her personal journey as a wounded healer, Mines reveals not only how to unlock the secrets of resilience for individual healing but also how embodied resilience will help us heal our wounded planet.Trade Review“A precious gift of the heart. Mines understands both the tragedy of trauma and the opportunity it creates for us to regain agency and remember who we are. She offers a blueprint that we can use to access primal energies at the source of our authenticity. When we access this flow of energy, we become more aware of the habituated patterns of survival that are no longer serving us. If we can see or feel these patterns, then we have choice. When we have choice, we are empowered. When we are empowered, we can be more fully who we are. If we can do this, we are no longer just surviving, we are thriving. This is how the world is saved.” * —Yvonne R. Farrell, DAOM, L.Ac., author of Psycho-Emotional Pain and the Eight Extraordinary V *“It is time to remember your sacred wholeness as a human being— drawing on your innate wisdom for resilience and well-being. Through intimate stories and sacred principles, you will understand that you are a vital part of the Hoop of Life.

Its profound truths shift our understanding of what it means to be human, especially as we relate to birth, Gaia, and cosmos. It will unwind the fields of trauma, bodywork, acupuncture, embryology, and all of medicine.” * Stella Osorojos Eisenstein, DAOM, IMT *“It is hard work weaving poetry into the gritty work of healing trauma, but Mines has managed to produce a book that is both medicinal and mystical.” * Sophie Strand, author of The Flowering Wand and The Madonna Secret *“The Secret of Resilience brings decades of academic and personal insight into focus from an embryological and neurodevelopmental standpoint.

Stephanie Mines is a dancer: she dances from the most touchingly and disarmingly personal to the grandest visions for humanity’s potential future. She calls us fearlessly to a homecoming, a necessary return to our ecstatic inner core: our limitless source of vitality and renewal. I’ve learned so much from this tender and compassionate book.
