Descriptions from the Book Cover and a Seller's Website
Mount Kurama, also known as Kurama Yama, is the sacred mountain in Japan, where Mikao Usui, the founder of Usui Reiki, first encountered Reiki. Reiki is s a spiritual energy that has evolved into a healing art and is practiced by millions worldwide. Reiki is rapidly gaining acceptance in the traditional medical community, as well as among practitioners of complementary healing modailities.

This book is a beautiful way to experience the essence of the mountain, and to learn more about the birthplace of Reiki.

Reviews
It reads like a travel guide and yet when you have dreamed, as I have, of retracing the steps of Usui and touching the birthplace of Reiki, you are transported to Kurama Mountain through words and beautiful photos. The bonus is that you are also given such wonderful tidbits of wisdom along the way. Ancient spiritual traditions, Usui's experiences and modern understanding are blended together and our hearts and souls are richer for reading this book. --Mari Hall, author "Reiki for the Soul, the 11th door"

"When I journeyed to Japan in 1997 to research the history of Reiki I would have loved to have had a guidebook like this. Not only is this a great guide for those planning a visit to the mountain, it is an excellent educational resource for anyone interested in Reiki, and a lovely way to sense the essence of Kurama Mountain." --Laurelle Shanti Gaia, author, Reiki Teacher, Dirrector of Peace Place in Sedona AZ, PeacePlaceSedona.com

I am a native of Kyoto, the ancient capital city of Japan, founder of Komyo Reiki and a Buddist monk. I have guided many tours of Kurama-yama (Kurama Mountain) for Reiki people from around the world. Now at long last, we Reiki people are fortunate to have an indepth book on Kurama-yama, the birth place of Reiki, thanks to the time consuming work of Jessica. I trust this book will take you to the very original place of Reiki and make you feel you are back home with the founder, Usui Sensi. This book is informative even to the Japanese people. I do hope there will be a Japanese version of the book in the future. --Hyakuten Inamoto, Komyo Reiki Kai
