Query: a total waste

I have bought numerous books and tapes on alternative health matters: Reiki, aromatherapy, yoga, tai chi, etc. I was looking forward to gaining some information, if not insite, to the practice of Reiki ( I just finished a very good book on it). This was the most useless item I ever purchased. For $34.95 you are told to put your hands in prayer position, raise them over your head, lower them, open them, breathe in, breath out. You are attuned. And oh, yea, it ends with cartoon drawings showing hand postions for Reiki treatments but with nary a word of instruction or explanation. If I could return it i would.
