Dive Into Reiki Rounds Tables are conversations between Reiki masters from different backgrounds to talk about the challenges, experiences, and learnings that keep us growing as practitioners. It is also meant as a platform for new voices from our global community. There is only one rule: keeping it real. DIVE INTO REIKI ROUND TABLE—THE ART OF WRITING REIKI BOOKS Today we have three amazing Reiki teachers and authors: Nicholas Pearson, author of books like Foundations Of Reiki Ryoho: A Manual Of Shoden And Okuden and Crystals for Karmic Healing; Frans Stiene, author of The Inner Heart of Reiki, Reiki Insights & The Way of Reiki; and Elise Brenner,  co-author of Reiki: A Self-Practice To Live in Peace with Self and Others. We discuss what inspires them, their writing styles, and how, like most things Reiki, writing a great  book rests on a strong daily practice. Nicholas Pearson has been a practitioner of Usui Reiki Ryoho since 2006 and has received initiation and training in a variety of Reiki lineages, including Jikiden Reiki, Usui Shiki Ryoho, Usui/Tibetan Reiki, and Komyo ReikiDo.
