Jim's latest book, "Reiki Shamanism: A Guide to Out-of-Body Healing," explains the roots of Reiki as a form of shamanism, including the fact that most depections or Kanji of the word "Reiki" translate to mean: Shaman Who Makes Rain.
He teaches classes on Reiki Shamanism, incorporating Reiki as a form of healing in the shamanic journey. Included in the book is an overview of ways of looking at the energy body, including indigenous, Ancient Egyptian and in Chinese medicine, explaining that the Western seven-chakra system is essentially a fiction. His books are sold internationally and should be available at a bookstore near you.
