This would probably make more sense to someone who self-attunes to Reiki systems through manuals.

If you take a book, fiction or non fiction you can feel into the creative energy behind its creation, or go further and find the author or possibly open up new avenues to your reality. Something to try, since I doubt many get into that, but it is fun. I promise.

I suppose a bit of clairvoyance would help out too, if you manage to go somewhere interesting through this practice.

 

I suggest your favorite book on energy practices, and even your favorite fiction.

There's a few that I consider 'must haves'. But at the moment I'd just narrow it down to the one that to me, stands alone:

 

The Shurangama Sutra Commentary by the Venerable Master Hsun Hua.

 

It is said a commentary on this sutra was only ever done about twice in history.
