Book excerpt: Whereas many religious leaders only advocate forgiving, Michael Van Hecke teaches how to utilize hands-on healing skills to accelerate the forgiveness process. Forgiveness Reiki is structured as a response to the question How could you lead your church in forgiveness at your 16 year old son's funeral? Van Hecke discusses Reiki, The Jesus Healing System and many aspects of Christianity to answer that question. This book includes Forgiveness Reiki and Jesus Healing System prayers which can be used to complement Reiki and other hands-on healing modalities. Van Hecke also includes a modern Apostle's Creed and several discussions on Blessing, healing symbols, and the physical manifestation of UnLove.
