is it 'rayki' or 'rye-ki'? I started getting interested in it a while back. I asked a friend of mine (she runs a new age store) what book would be a good one for me if I was interested in healing. she looked at a bunch of books, and told me that she had a good feeling about reiki. the only problem is that we didn't know how to pronounce it :). I couldn't find anybody in the area that had studied it so I couldn't learn anything more than what the book said. n e ways, thanks!
