The full book is presented here in seven sections, in the order published by Alice Takata Furumoto in the original 1982 volume Reiki. The Therapy Guide, originally produced in Japanese, was translated to English by professional academic translator Dylan Luers Toda. From Toda’s work we have commissioned the translations available on this website, and for the first time, many of us can read in our own languages the original Reiki treatment manual that Chujiro Hayashi prepared for students of the Hayashi Reiki Kenkyukai in Hawaii in 1938.
