    Healing Others Now that you have completed a Reiki treatment on yourself, follow the same procedures for completing a Reiki treatment on your client.

    Before beginning a treatment on your client, stroke their aura. This will help to relaxyour client and prepare them for the treatment. Move away from your client when

    returning from the lower area of their body back to the top or upper area, so as not todisturb the auric field.

    As a beginner, you may find that your client progresses rapidly through a series of emotional encounters. They can range from uncontrollable laughter to deep emotional

    crying. Again, do not be alarmed! Allow your client to process these feelings whilecontinuing to administer the Reiki treatment.

    Positions 1 through 21 and Optional Hand Placement Alternative show the placement of the hands for the healer.

    Points to remember:

    1. Some states require you to be a licensed massage therapist in order to place your hands on another person. In this case, place your hands approximately 1" aboveyour client's body. The effects of receiving Reiki will be the same. They energywill still go to where it is needed and will be as effective as if you had actually

    placed you hands on their physical body. WE ARE ALL ENERGY BEINGS!!2. Do not touch your client's personal areas. Your client can consider this a

    violation of trust and confidence. So to avoid any embarrassment for both youand your client, place your hands approximately 1" above these areas.

    Group HealingIn many communities there are centers or places that are available where Reiki

    practitioners can gather to give Reiki treatments and share new techniques.

    In administering group treatment the number or practitioners can be as little as one, or as large as the room or area will hold.

    In group sessions, the sacredness of the process should always be observed. Remember you are healing and any socializing should be held until the end of the sessions.

    If only one practitioner is available, they will administer the entire session. If there aretwo practitioners, one practitioner will do the upper area of the clients body and theother practitioner will do the lower area of the clients body.

    If there are three practitioners, one practitioner will remain at the head positions, one atthe torso positions, and one at the legs and feet positions.

    For any more than three practitioners, place one practitioner at the head of the client,one practitioner at the feet of the client and divide the remaining number of practitionersamong the upper and lower areas of the client.

    Allow your collective consciousness to guide the group. If room allows, you may wantto administer treatment to more than one person at a time.

    Additions to a Reiki Treatment

    Running Reiki Energy

  • 8/9/2019 Hand Positions for Self Healing and Healing Others

    8/9

    In addition to the basic Reiki positions that are shown, Reiki energy can be run from theclients feet and their arms. This is beneficial for broken bones, arthritis, infections,AIDS, poor circulation, cancer (stimulates white cell production for the bone marrowthat enters the spleen, where the thymus hormone combines to produce the t-cells.) It isalso beneficial for stimulating the immune system.

    Begin by placing the left hand just above the head at the 7 th chakra. Place the middlefinger of the right hand at the base of the spine (coccyx). Hold this position for as longas you are guided.

    This position is used to balance energy and the spine.

    Reverse the hand and place the middle finger of the left hand on the base of the spine(coccyx) and the right hand just above the head at the 7 th chakra. Again, hold this

    position for as long as you are guided.

    This position is used to reduce hypertension, reduce excess energy, reduce an over expanded auric field, and reduce feelings of hypersensitivity.

    After you have completed these steps, follow figures 1 through 6 for running Reiki.

    Release Spinal Tension

    9/9

    Use the following to release spinal tension and relax the spine.

    Figure 7

    Place the thumb and middle finger of the left hand on the occipital bone (base of theskull, "Occiput Position"). And place the middle finger of the right hand on the coccyx(base of the spine).

    Continue to hold this position until the pulse is synchronized between the fingers of both hands.

    Figure 8

    Place the left hand in the occiput position to balance the spine.

    Figure 9

    Place the left hand at the neck and the right hand on the sacrum. Move the handsequally toward the center of the spine, keeping each movement one hand-width closer than the last placement. Hold each position until you can feel the pulse of the aura

    become independent from the pulse of the heart of the body.

    Maintain constant contact with your client during each movement. While touching thespine, slowly move the hands by pulling the heels of both hands to the fixed position of the middle finger, then sliding the fingers toward the central point.
