Excerpts from back cover:
Discover one of the first books to offer a broadened understanding of the spiritual depth of reiki healing touch by examining it in the light of one of the world’s enduring religions. Explore the prigins of reiki and the Hebraic roots of Jesus’ own healing ministry, and understand the use of reiki in church, hospital, and hospice settings, as well as in the context of the treatment of cancer, chronic and terminal illness, and death and bereavement. Bruce and Katherine Gould Epperly also provide healing ritual and spiritual practices that will help practitioners and individuals consciously integrate the inner and outer healing journey.
Authentic healers and genuine healing occur in every spiritual tradition, and any religion that claims a monopoly does a disservice to this universal gift. In this book, Dr. Bruce G. Epperly and Katherine Gould Epperly wisely show how Christian healing and reiki healing, an Eastern technique, have much in common. This ecumenical approach is a tremendous service for both modern medicine and theology. This book points like an arrow toward tolerance. At a time when our world is aflame with religious narrowness, the Epperlys’ message is urgently needed.
