Michael D. Milson
Reiki Master/Teacher & Author
I’ve been practicing Reiki and hypnotherapy since 2014, learning from a wide range of teachers and approaches. My interests include Reiki, Mind-Body Psychology, hypnotherapy, NLP and personal growth.
As a Reiki Master/Teacher and the author of several books, I created these manuals to make study clearer and practice more approachable. Each degree combines explanations, visual references and opportunities to reflect on your own experience.
These are study companions. Buying a manual does not include a course, attunement or certification. Work with a qualified Reiki teacher for initiation, feedback and assessment at the appropriate degree.
Hardcover for a lasting desk reference. Paperback for a lighter printed companion. Coil Bound for a manual that opens flat beside you. Ebook for adjustable text and convenient reading on your device.
Printed manuals are full color in a generous 8.5 × 11-inch format. Choose an available edition on each book’s page. Purchases are completed securely through Lulu, where current prices, shipping and taxes are shown.
Make a little time for yourself, in the comfort of your own space.
