Reiki Hand Positions

In response to a recent comment.

Thank you.

You are right in that Reiki can be just as effective without actual physical contact between the client and practitioner. I obtained my training through the International Center for Reiki Training. Their instruction indicated that light touch or positioning the hands just above the body, as stated on my website and blog, is equally effective. The Reiki energy itself flows where it is needed.

Reiki practitioners should always be respectful of a clients privacy and their wishes and it is recommended that they always ask a client if they are sensitive to touch before beginning any treatment session. If they are, the practitioner may choose to place their hands just above the body in the traditional positions to conduct the session. This is certainly the case touching any private area and the practitioner may place their hands well above or around these areas for a full treatment.

Please do visit the International Center for Reiki Training at www.reiki.org for additional information regarding formal Reiki practitioner training and frequently asked questions.

Namaste'

So, what is Reiki ?

"Reiki" is a Japanese healing art. "Rei" (pronounced "Ray") means "universal knowledge" or may be considered to be the infinite energy of the Universe or that of a supreme intelligence. "Ki" (pronounced "kee") is the "life force" found in all living things.

Reiki is not a religion. While Reiki has its roots in Japan and Asia, it is a "healing art" and not a religion in itself. Reiki acknowledges the "universal energy" in our universe. It makes no attempt to categorize it in any religious context. A Practitioner of Reiki has been trained to focus and channel this energy in a way that is nurturing and healing.

Practitioners channel energy in a particular pattern to help heal and harmonize. While similar to other healing therapies based on the human energy field, Reiki specifically seeks to restore harmony and balance to the body whose vital energy ("Ki") has become unbalanced. This energy is directed at energy centers in the body known as "chakras".

Reiki energy has a number of healing effects. It brings about a state of deep relaxation, promotes energy flow within the body, helps to detoxify and provide vitality in the form of the healing universal life energy, and helps to increases the vibrational frequency of the body, thereby stimulating and improving metabolism.

The laying on of hands is used in Reiki therapy as in other forms of spiritual healing. With Reiki there is a difference though. In other forms of spiritual healing, a person with a strong energy field places their hands above a particular part of the body in order to release energy into it. With Reiki, however, the healer places the hands gently on or in special positions just above the body, and the recipient draws Reiki energy through the healer as needed. The Reiki healer is therefore a "guide" or "channel" for the healing Reiki energies.

Greetings all,

I recently completed my Reiki Master Teacher level in Chikara-Reiki-Do, an integrated form of Reiki that combines traditional Usui and Tibetan forms of Reiki. I am also presently still in training for a traditional Usui Reiki Master level certification. With these attainments I plan to offer classes in Reiki as well as continue offering Reiki healing sessions. More news as this develops. Should anyone be interested in distance healing or should a student of Reiki wish to request a distance attunement to Reiki level I or II, please contact me.

Namaste.

Michael
