Frank Arjava Petter

The author, a Reiki master practicing in Japan, traces the origins in a new light following the path of Usui-san back in time through meetings with his descendants and climbing the holy mountain of his enlightenment.

The origin of Reiki has come to be surrounded by many stories and myths. Frank Arjava Petter, a free Reiki master practicing in Japan, immerses it in a new light as he traces Usui-san's path back through time with openness and devotion. He meets Usui's descendants and climbs the holy mountain of his enlightenment.

In addition, Reiki Fire is an excellent Reiki textbook, fresh and rousing in its spiritual perspective Reiki, shaped by Shintoism, is a Buddhist expression of Qigong, whereby Qigong depicts the teaching of life energy in its original sense. Frank Arjava Petter is a master in his approach to it.

Reiki Fire is also an absolutely practical Reiki guide. The heart, the body, the mind,and the esoteric background, it is all here.

'Frank Arjava Petter knows how to write in an absorbing, sensitive, and exciting way. On every page you will find his devotion to Reiki and his great experience on the spiritual path...one of the best books deaing with this subject.'-Walter Lubeck, Reiki master and bestselling author.

This is one of the best books on Reiki I have read. Some past reviewers have given negative reviews for reasons that are not true. Recent research has dispelled the traditional history Takata spread about Usui being a Christian and other myths. Frank Arjava Petter was one of the forerunners in seeking the true historical background behind Reiki. This book gives an authentic portrayal of Reiki, its history, and its healing capabilities. Useful techniques are given beyond the average Reiki book. While Reiki is not Qigong per say, it resembles it in many ways and indeed could be termed a 'lazy man's Qigong' as the author states. This is one of the most real authors I have ever read on Reiki who says it like it is. He shows himself to be as human as the rest of us and ever striving in spiritual aspiration. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Reiki and as a perfect supplement for those starting with this wonderful healing modality. Coming from a skeptic, Reiki does work and this book will add much richness to your Reiki experience. Wish I could give it more than five stars!

`Reiki Fire' is a classic amongst Reiki books. Most people read it early on in their Reiki journey, and I was no exception...Knowing little about the subject, I found it engrossing, inspiring and pleasantly down to earth. Frank Arjava Petter writes with an affable enthusiasm for his subject, drawing on his own life experiences to demonstrate the power that Reiki can have in your life, if you let go and allow it to work.
So, several years down the line, I find myself buying and reading it again (my own copy having disappeared on a very longterm, probably permanent, loan). I'm delighted to say that it still inspires me. The `fire' that Petter predicted has certainly spread throughout the world, and along with it a plethora of genres of Reiki and associated books.
What I really like about `Reiki Fire' is the lack of self absorbed pseudo-spirituality which pervades so many New Age and alternative books. Reiki is actually very straightforward - certainly it can be dressed up in all sorts of ways - but Arjava describes it in its pure form. His research into its history is legendary. Before `Reiki Fire' all sorts of outlandish folklore was rife (and accepted) as to how Reiki was re-discovered. Petter's very thorough research in Japan blew many of these myths out of the water, much to the chagrin of some steadfast upholders of the `old' stories. Well you can't please all the people...
So whether you're just setting out on your own Reiki adventure, or, like me, you've been treading the path for a while, I'd thoroughly recommend `Reiki Fire' as an essential text. Trust me though - put your name in it.

> Ce livre contient très peu de choses concernant le Reiki. Ayant lu les deux autres livres du même auteur, je m'attendais à quelque chose qui puisse enrichir ma connaissance et ma pratique du Reiki...
Donc, si vous vous attendez à quelque chose de nouveau, passez votre chemin. Cependant, même si n'importe quel livre peut éveiller la même conscience, il rappelle au praticien Reiki que sa discipline est inscrite dans une perspective de développement personnel, pour ne pas dire spirituel.
