Additional Reiki Hand Positions For The Treatment Of Others
Table of Contents
Reiki is Divinely guided and always goes to the right spots in the body. Additional hand positions are unneeded since Reiki's original 12 hand positions flow quickly into all essential chakra points. Many Reiki Masters have tried other hand postures over time. The legs and feet are the most commonly taught, while the pelvic area and buttocks also get Reiki.
Hands on the legs and feet are normally held for one or two minutes. Follow your intuition and keep going if your hands are still very sensitive in a specific posture. Applying Reiki to the ankles, heels, toes, tops, and soles of the foot efficiently heals every organ and system in the body.
Additional Reiki Hand Positions
Hand Positions For Legs And Feet
To treat the feet (especially both soles), it may be more convenient to stand or sit beyond the feet, as shown in the composite figures below (one person in five positions, not five people).
To treat the legs and feet, simply return to position 1 (front of thighs) after completing position 8 (front of the torso, pelvic area). When you reach the top of the feet, gently awaken the client and urge them to turn over. Next, you would move on to the buttocks, thighs, calves, and ankles before finishing off with soles of feet.
Client Lying On Front
- Place one hand on each thigh.
- Place one hand on each knee's back.
- Place one hand on each shin.
- Place one hand on each ankle's back.
- Place one hand on each foot's sole (also covering the toes).
Client Lying On Back
- Place one hand on each thigh's front.
- Place one hand on each knee's front.
- Place one hand on each calf's front.
- Place one hand on each ankle's front.
- Place one hand atop each foot (also covering the toes).
Hand Positions For Arms And Hands
If the client has a health issue in a particular body part, it is reasonable to extend the time or add a hand position. As Reiki goes down the arms, no specific hand postures are suggested for the upper arms, elbows, forearms, wrists, hands, or fingers. But please address any health concerns. Because treating both arms simultaneously while the client is lying down is difficult, I adopt this technique.
Begin with one arm and make your way around the body to the other side. It doesn't matter which arm you start. You can treat the arms and hands immediately after hand position 5, or you can wait until the front of the body is treated (including the legs, if you have decided they need treating). After the front treatment, treat the arms before requesting the client turn over. Again, the illustration displays a single arm in all three conceivable hand postures.
Left And Right Arm
- Grasp the upper arm with one hand and the elbow with the other. After a few minutes (typically no more than two), softly reposition your hands.
- With one hand on the forearm and the other on the wrist, grasp the forearm. After a few minutes, softly reposition your hands.
- Place one hand beneath the client's hand and one on top of it. After a few minutes, gently remove your hands and switch to the next hand position—either the opposite arm or the solar plexus—or rouse the client and request that they change over.
Employ the 12 hand positions of the classic Western complete treatment as a framework. If you think it's necessary, add to them. Use Reiki in ways that feel right to you because it is dynamic energy and a live healing system.
One hand or even only a handful of fingers were shown in Dr. Usui and Dr. Hayashi's instruction manuals for various ailments. Since then, many Reiki Masters have refined the idea that specific hand postures might help certain conditions. Because Reiki goes all over the body when a Practitioner rests their hands on a client, I feel that if the Reiki flows for long enough (at least an hour is preferred), the entire physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and aura will be cured.
Keeping the hands on a person's shoulders sitting in a chair for an hour or more gives almost as much Reiki as a complete session. The practitioner nor the client may be as comfortable, yet it may be the only alternative in some cases. However, placing the different hands on places of the body—near each of the seven chakras—allows for a cumulative effect.
When Reiki enters through the crown and brow chakras, as it does in the first three hand positions, it enters the head and the entire body, beginning the process of healing, harmonizing, and balancing it. It removes obstructions and prepares the next chakra to absorb more Reiki, enhancing the flow. It is also more efficient and enjoyable for both of you if you administer a complete treatment. When you try it, you'll find it's almost as lovely as receiving one because you're also receiving Reiki.
