Review: Abundance Through Reiki

Abundance Through Reiki by Paula Horan is an interesting book about the application of Reiki. Many Reiki books are introductory in teaching an overview of how to use Reiki to treat oneself and others. It is refreshing to see a different sort of Reiki book.

Ms. Horan begins the book by discussing our essential nature, or the Core Self as she calls it.

If Reiki is Universal Life Force Energy, and you and I are that same Universal Life Force Energy, it stands to reason that the Usui method of natural healing is an effort process of applying to oneself or others, more of what we essentially already are.

And she goes on to discuss various points of view around the concept that all the things in our world are manifestations of that Universal Life Force Energy. Ultimately, as she puts it, our beliefs govern a large part of what comes to us in our lives. An example she returns to time and again is the difference between the Masculine and Feminine styles of living. The Masculine is very "doing" and going out into the world for satisfaction, and there is a lot of struggle, and it's really rooted in a belief of lack.

Therefore, of course we can apply Reiki to heal our personal process of wealth and abundance.

The meat of the book is a 42 day program. The first 21 days are three cycles of 7 days of cleansing the belief in "lack" which gets in the way of receiving abundance. The second 21 days are three cycles of 7 days of affirmations bringing in abundance.

This is a very interesting book, and should give any Reiki practitioner grist for thinking about abundance in their life.
