Title: „Inspirations from 1930s Japanese Reiki Women“

with Amanda Jayne

The book Women in Reiki follows the stories of Japanese women who carried Reiki from its inception to us today. As Amanda and Silke researched and learned more about their fascinating stories and the times they lived in, they began to experience a deep appreciation for these women who gave so much to ensure Reiki continued.

Together, authors and Reiki Daishihan Amanda Jayne and Silke Kleemann will take a look at the essence of these Japanese women’s lives and how they responded to sometimes extraordinary circumstances with integrity, love and an open heart. From their stories come wisdom and inspirations that are relevant and helpful for us all today.
