HAND POSITIONS
image taken from www.healingpalms.co.uk/
There
is a treatment protocol traditionally taught to Reiki practitioners which
involves a series of hand positions. These positions are well spaced along the
clients body and together they provide good coverage of the clients entire body.
While the energy does go where it is most needed, it is frequently observed that
it stays near where the practitioner has placed his or her hands. By covering
all parts of the body evenly the patient will, by default, get the best
treatment possible. These hand positions are a good place for a practitioner to
begin practicing Reiki. With experience he or she should feel free to experiment
based on the needs of the moment.
Any
set of hand positions are only a guideline. Most Reiki practitioners use
intuition or other methods to say which positions are to be used in each
healing, varying from the traditional positions as the situation warrants. One
common method is the sweep in which the practitioner sweeps his or her hands
through the clients energy field looking for
hot spots. These indicate places needing healing energy.
Often the treatment begins as the therapist proceeds through 12 hand positions
that are designed to cover all body systems. The practitioner holds each
position for five minutes or until he/she perceives the flow of energy in the
targeted tissues.
