Reiki, a method of natural healing based on the application of life force energy (called ""chi""), has its roots in pre-WWII Japan. Asserting that the practice is easy to learn and use, reiki instructor John Tompkins Jr. offers Mastering Reiki: A Practicing and Teaching Primer. Covering history, principles and symbols, the book will appeal to reiki practitioners who want to expand their understanding. Illustrations, worksheets and an appendix discussing the incorporation of sound, color and stones with reiki complement Tompkins's simple text. (June)
