Spirit of Reiki by Walter Lübeck,Frank Arjava Petter and William Rand

These three Reiki Masters dug deeper into the history of Reiki and present lots of interesting information about how Reiki is still very active in Japan, as well as some original documents from Usui and Dr. Hayashi. It shows that the traditional story of Reiki and its legacy are somewhat different than what was reported and handed down by Hawayo Takata.....

Spirit of Reiki

Hawayo Takata's Story by Helen J. Haberly

A wnderful and lively account of this great Reiki Master's life and her passion for bringing Reiki to the world. We owe her a lot for her devotion, passion and guts. The words I remember from the book are how she was always saying "Do Reiki, do Reiki, do Reiki.....".

Hawayo Takata's Story

A beautiful and simple way to really turn things around in your life and deal with the reality of what is, instead of how you would like it to be. I highly recommend this book.

Loving What is: Four Questions that can Change your Life

Non-violent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg

An invaluable book on how to get in touch with what we are feeling and how to communicate to the other in truth, without blaming ourselves or the other and how to ask for positive change.

I love how Marshall says that anger is simply an emotion that helps us to recognize that a need is not being met, and how to deal with it so it does not get repressed and cause disease, or expressed in a way that may be harmful to ourselves and others.

Hawayo Takata's Story

Health and Well-Being

Pain Free, Pete Egoscue, Bantam Books

This is one of the best books on pain I've ever read. M. Egoscue shows us how the body should be aligned with the main articulations for proper load bearing and healthy movement. He explains that pain is a result of muscles compensating for others that have atrophied due to misuse or lack of use. He goes on to show us how many problems in one area of the body, such as the feet, are caused and related to other joints. He gives easy practical exercises to bring this back to health. I highly recommend it if you have any kind of joint pain. There are Egoscue pain clinics throughout the US. I personally visited one in San Francisco and am working with the program for my back pain.

Pain Free

Healing Back Pain by Dr. John Sarno

In this book, Dr. John Sarno introduces the Tension Myositis Syndrome, which is in effect a trick that the brain uses to create pain in the body in order to help us avoid having to face undesirable emotions. He goes on to show how by simply being conscious of this that healing can happen.

I highly recommend this book.

Healing Back Pain

The Mindbody Prescription by Dr. John Sarno

Dr. Sarno pursues the explanation of the Tension Myositis Syndrome and how it is related to many common diseases such as back pain, fibromyalgia, colitis, etc. A truly valuable book.

The Mindbody Prescription

The Divided Mind – The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders by Dr. John Sarno

This book is a treasure!  Dr. John Sarno explains how many common and chronic pains, including such conditions as Fibromyalgia, are in fact caused by a condition called TMS (Tension Myositis Syndrome), which is a way the brain creates pain in the body in order to help us avoid repressed emotions.  Persons that are particularly vulnerable to this condition are those that tend to want to do good and those who tend to want to do things perfectly.

In this book he presents the syndrome and gives a detailed account of his program to overcome these conditions, without drugs, exercise or surgery.  Then follows reports on several MD’s that have successfully used this diagnosis and treatment method for their patients. 

Many people heal just by reading his books once they understand what is going on.

The Divided Mind – The Epidemic of Mindbody Disorders

The Food Revolution by John Robbins

John Robbins is the son of the owner of Baskins-Ribbins Ice Crean company. He gave up the inheritance to the family business afer realizing how the meat industry treats the animals.

This book will show you how fare we've come in the inhumane treatment of thea animals that end up on our plates - crowded pens, excessive hormones in the food chain, how some animals are not allowed to move because of the limited space they live in while waiting to die. After reading this book, you may think twice about your food choices....

The Food Revolution

Becoming Vegan by Brenda Davis & Vesanto Melina

Valuable information on the vitamin, protein and mineral content of foods so that you can make the right choices about what to eat if you go this route.
