Reiki Hand Positions For The Front Of The Body—Treatment For Others
Table of Contents
The practitioner performs the first five reiki hand positions for the treatment of others standing or seated behind the client's head.
Reiki Hand Positions For The Front of the Body
1. The Back Of The 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.
2. The Eyes
Place one slightly cupped palm over each eye, with the heel of each hand gently resting on the brow but keeping the fingertips at least 5 cm (2 in) away from the face. After 3 to 5 minutes, gradually move the hands to position 3.
3. The Ears
Place one slightly cupped hand over each ear, with the heel of each hand resting gently against the side of the head so that the fingertips are roughly level with each earlobe. Again, make sure the fingertips don’t touch the face—leave them at least 5 cm (2 in) away. After 3 to 5 minutes, move the hands one at a time to position 4.
4. The Neck
One hand on each side of the neck, palms facing forward, and tiny fingers softly resting on top of the client's shoulders. Your fingers should avoid making contact with the person's neck since this might cause them to feel highly confined and even unsafe. Allow at least 10 cm (4 in) of space between your hands and the client's neck. Maintain this position for 3–5 minutes, then gradually move the hands to position 5.
5. The Chest
At the top of your chest, position your hands in a V formation. Each hand's heel can rest softly on the individual's collarbone, and the hand can be held flat on the chest this time, with fingertips pointing diagonally toward the middle of the chest breastbone. If you're treating a female, keep in mind that it's neither appropriate nor necessary to place your hands directly on the breasts. Therefore, if you have long hands or the woman has exceptionally high breasts, you may need to move your hands back slightly. Maintain this position for 3 to 5 minutes, then gently withdraw your hands and walk around to the client's side.
6. The Solar Plexus
Place one hand in front of the other flat on the body (gently, but without exerting pressure on the client), fingertips pointing away from you, on the solar plexus (between the breasts and waist), so that one hand is on the left and the other on the right. Maintain this position for 3–5 minutes (it is acceptable to rotate your hands regularly, shifting them to various sides to avoid becoming too weary), then slowly transfer them to position 7.
7. The Waist
Place one hand in front of the other flat on the body gently, but without exerting pressure on the client, fingertips pointing away from you, at the waist, so that one hand is on the left and the other on the right. Maintain this position for 3–5 minutes (it is acceptable to rotate your hands regularly, swapping them to various sides to avoid becoming too weary), then slowly transfer them to position 8.
8A. The Pelvic Area—Female
Male and female hand positions differ slightly to demonstrate sensitivity toward the genitals. Hold your hands in a V form, with the point of the V pointing toward the pubic bone for female customers. This is most easily accomplished in the manner depicted in the figure. For instance, if the client's head is to your right, your right hand's heel should be level with her left hip bone, and the fingertips should point diagonally toward the pubic bone. Your left hand's fingertips are angled diagonally toward and level with her right hip. (Any other hand arrangement is typically more painful to hold and more invasive to the client.) Maintain this stance for 3–5 minutes, then remove your hands.
8B. The Pelvic Area—Male
As illustrated, to demonstrate sensitivity and avoid contact with the male genitalia, one hand is typically placed on each hip bone. Again, having one hand with the fingertips pointing to the right and one hand pointing to the left is more comfortable. Maintain this stance for 3–5 minutes, and then remove your hands. You may now begin treating the fronts of the legs and feet, if necessary.
Before conducting any Reiki session, make sure that you know those preparations we talked about in the previous articles. Just believe that Reiki flows from you through your client ad your session will be successful.
