The practitioner performs the first five hand positions standing or seated behind the client's head. Gently position both hands beneath the head, palms upward (it may be easier to do this one hand at a time, but be careful not to pull their hair), with your tiny fingers touching and your fingertips roughly level with the base of the skull. Maintain this position for 3 to 5 minutes, then softly and gradually remove both hands simultaneously, allowing the client's head to rest back on the cushion. Reposition your hands in position 2.

None of these procedures need the use of the Reiki Symbols, thus they are accessible to anybody with any degree of Reiki. However, if you are a Second Degree practitioner, you can begin by drawing a Power Symbol over each palm, intending for Reiki to flow to clear and cleanse your energy body, which can speed up the process.

Self-cleansing techniques from the Japanese culture include the first three. You can use the Hatsurei-ho, a combination of energy cleansing and meditation practices, daily to keep your energy clean and clear. I advise you to perform this at the beginning and conclusion of each day and night.

You don’t actually need any expensive equipment in order to deliver Reiki to someone—all you need is your hands.

There are numerous models to choose from.
