I would like to suggest the book "Miracles of Mind: Exploring Nonlocal Consciousness and Spiritual Healing" It's one of the few books of it's type (serious inquiry into the mechanics of healing modalitites) that not only mentions Reiki psecifically but distinguishes energy healing modalities from spiritual healing modalities.

The authors are Russell Targ (a researcher who worked on the govt. remote viewing program) and Jane Katra Ph.D. (a working healer).

Dear Wilyboudiccea,
Thanks for that recommendation. Saw Mr Targ at a seminar recently & the audience was surprised with the results of a quick audience participation excercise in remote viewing. That excercise impressed on me that the symbols that we identify with play a part in remote viewing . A shape was identified as looking like a building by some..I saw it as a coffin, could feel myself inside it, surrounded on all sides & thought I was way off base at the end of the experiment until I realized that the building in question was identical to the shape of mauseleums that Im familiar with from N.Y & New Orleans. Coffin & mauseleum are not far off base!! So, I am more than a little interested in the book. Thanks again!!

peace & joy,
