Reiki: The Mystery Teachings highlights what are known as the Shinpiden teachings in Japanese Reiki. These teachings cannot be known by fact or logic, just as enlightenment cannot be reached by rationality—they must be accessed through the heart-mind connection. By examining the sacred nature of Reiki, the challenges and joys of doing the work, and Kokoro—the Big Heart-Mind of Reiki—it becomes clear that Reiki is not merely a method or technique but a spiritual path toward enlightened Self.

“We began this project after decades of experience in our similar careers in psychology, in private clinical practice and teaching in university settings, then later in Reiki. While on separate but converging Reiki paths, we engaged in dialogues about the philosophy of Reiki as it is informed by the wisdom of ancient mystery teachings. We reexamined our former ideas about Reiki, attempting to comprehend its spiritual nature in light of the demands of rapidly changing times. Throughout, we were aided by intuition, meditation, and guidance from our higher selves. Reiki: The Mystery Teachings brings ancient wisdom into new perspectives on the Reiki spirit path."
