With this book Diane made a revolution. Infect she published the drawings of the reiki symbols which up to today are supposed to be revealed to the people who actually get an attunement. But if something is kept secret those who for the first time approach reiki can have problems in the understanding of Reiki. Many practitioners are confused for a while at the beginning of their Reiki experience.

Those who have read this book have removed many doubts very quickly. The good point is Diane explains in great detail what each symbol means and provides the guidelines for their use. She also remarks that to perform Reiki the attunements are necessary. At each level the person is able to receive more symbols to work with. Moreover she includes others symbols she has personally discovered in the years of experience and experimentation. It is a good informative book.
