1. Author Background & Authority José María Jiménez Solana is a respected Spanish author, Reiki master, and researcher in the field of alternative therapies. He has written several books on energy healing, spiritual development, and holistic health. His approach is known for being practical, well-structured, and accessible to beginners while still offering depth for experienced practitioners.
Unlike some New Age authors who present Reiki as purely mystical, Jiménez Solana balances traditional Japanese Reiki principles (as passed down by Mikao Usui and Chujiro Hayashi) with Western adaptations. He emphasizes ethical practice, self-treatment, and the importance of the Reiki Precepts. This book is often considered a reference manual in the Spanish-speaking Reiki community. It is not a substitute for an in-person attunement, but rather a comprehensive guide to understanding and practicing Reiki at all levels.
