Shihando: Way of the Master details a system that teaches the alchemy of Reiki, Tai Chi, and Kung Fu forms. Written by the grand master of this system, Shihando reveals sacred secrets of the ancient mysteries that can be learned through the study and practice of form. The system incorporates both the martial arts and Reiki symbols, developing a comprehensive study that teaches Reiki in its purest form, as the language of the universal life force, complementing the Kung Fu and Tai Chi systems with a healing touch. Shihan Freemãn studied traditional Reiki through the American Reiki Master Association and the Juai Kung Karbo martial arts system with Master Bert Rodriguez of Dania, Florida. A trainer of world-champion kickboxers, Master Rodriguez had his hands full when Shihan Freemãn came in wanting to only learn form to study energy. He rose to the challenge and taught her the only system she would ever study. His training enabled her to take the Juai Kung Karbo system to the next level, merging the symbols in the forms in specific sequential order with the symbols in the traditional attunements of the Usui System of Natural Healing as taught by the American Reiki Master Association. The end result is a personal growth system that teaches that the true study is of ourselves, not of the martial or esoteric forms.

A lady bug with golden wings – As golden as my wedding ring – Flew past me once today and then flew past and spread her wings again. The message she was giving me: to soar once more – to be so free; To trust that what I have to share will be embraced by those who dare to seek the truth within and out; To know what life is all about; Who choose to walk the Master’s path to reach their journey’s end at last. I welcome you with open mind – come on in – the water’s fine. Lynn Montana Freemãn Old Bridge, New Jersey October 2002

Most lovers kiss. This one pounces. As bad days go, this one qualifies as one for the books. Elaine knew being late for her jiu jitsu class could earn her a reprimand from her sensei. But the sensei’s not there. And suddenly, neither is her car. Even walking home becomes problematic when she stumbles onto things that most definitely do go bump in the night. One of whom is too handsome for his own good—and too sexy for hers. An Alpha Pantera Noir—black panther shifter—Cade operates on his immense skill, superior strength, and dominant personality. There’s something about this small spitfire of a human woman that threatens to bring him to his knees. She blundered into the middle of his mission to transport his queen to safety, and now it’s his responsibility to keep Elaine safe as well. Except no matter what he does, danger finds her at every turn. Thrust into a world where the supernatural is commonplace, Elaine finds her considerable martial arts skill tested to the limit—and her ability to resist Cade crumbling by the second. But when nothing is as it seems, the last things she can trust are her own instincts.
