Hello Aura, Namaste ...
I had sight of this book this week, and I have to admit I find it quite worrying that it is on the market.
I am sure, that since you are taking your Master Attunement in September, the book will be helpful to you.
But I am equally concerned about people picking the book up, breezing through it, thinking that they now know it all, and venture forth as Reiki Healers, or even worse Reiki teachers, without having even met a Reiki teacher.
Also as a for instance, I quote from the book:
"What happens after a 1st level attunement.
1) You are now a Reiki Healer......"
Really? This book is by the guy who does the dvd attunements, and if somebody watches the dvd, reads the book, and thinks that is it, then Reiki is in trouble.
Sorry to be a kill-joy Aura. And regarding your last line of your posting "I can`t imagine any Manual from my Reiki master could match with this helpful guide." I would certainly hope that your Master`s Manual is fully comprehensive, and more importantly, that you are able to ask questions, and have individual attention on anything that you may be unsure of, plus ongoing support. You dont get that from a book.
I wish you joy on your Reiki path, and every blessing for your Masters attunement in September.
Love and light
