Empowerment Through Reiki or Sister Ignatia

Empowerment Through Reiki: The Path to Personal and Global Transformation

Author: Paula Horan

Dr. Horan describes exactly how Reiki energy works, the ways it can be used and the effects that can be achieved with its help.

"This book gives a wonderful and penetrating insight into the inner process of Reiki that is useful for experienced Reiki teachers as well for the lay public. Because of Paula's extensive experience as a healer and indepth understanding of healing, she is able to point toward some unitive understandings with some insight into the workings of Reiki and some general principles of healing itself", testifies Gabriel Cousens, M.D., Reiki Master.

Sister Ignatia: Angel of Alcoholics Anonymous

Author: Mary C Darrah

Sister Mary Ignatia Gavin epitomized the spirit of love, service, and honesty that today are the hallmarks of Alcoholics Anonymous. As a hospital admissions officer in the 1930s in Akron, Ohio, Sr. Ignatia befriended Dr. Bob Smith, co-founder of AA, and courageously arranged for the hospitalization of alcoholics at a time when alcoholism was viewed as a character weakness rather than a disease.
