HAND POSITIONS for REIKI 2
IMPORTANT: For symbols #1, #2 & #3 - always place one hand on the person or the object you are using to send distance healing and with the other hand make the required symbol over the necessary area and say the symbol's name three times as you draw the symbol once. Each successive symbol should be done over the same spot as the previous one. This should all be done mentally. NOTE: If you should be called away during a treatment - repeat the procedure before continuing.
BRINGING IN MORE ENERGY
The client lies on their back or their stomach. If the person is receiving a regular body treatment, make symbol #1 over the entire body area - covering from head to foot. Continue as you would a regular treatment. OR You can do each area of the body that you feel needs more energy as you come to it.
HEAD (MENTAL/EMOTIONAL)
Method A. You make symbol #1 over the client's head - crown area and proceed as you would with a regular treatment.
Method B. You make symbol #1 over the client's head - crown area and then make symbol #2 and say the person's name three times as you ask for their permission to assist them, then make symbol #1 again. After treating the head, continue with the rest of the body as you normally would.
IMPORTANT: Keep your thoughts clear as you treat the person, particularly in the head area and please remember what you send out is returned to you tenfold, if your mind wanders break contact. You will know if a person refuses treatment as an energy field becomes noticeable and 'pushes' you off the area. Be sure the thoughts you send are for the client's highest good. Not necessarily for what YOU desire but for THEIR highest good.
DISTANCE HEALING
NOTE: The person must either (1) ask for the healing treatment, OR (2) you may ask them at a soul level for permission. You will know if a person refuses treatment as the energy will not flow. If they refuse then do not proceed but try again at a later time. Once you receive their permission you may proceed with distance healing. When using absentee healing it is always good to have some general information about the person who is receiving the healing energies (name, sex, age, etc.) or even a photo. However, none of these things are absolutely necessary, as the healing energy can be directed to them with little or no information.
Draw symbol #1 (say 3 times) over the 'receiver', make symbol #3 (say 3 times) and then say the person's name (3 times), then repeat symbol #1 (say 3 times).
If sending distance emotional healing: Draw symbol #1 (say 3 times) over the 'receiver', make symbol #3 (say 3 times) and then say the person's name (3 times), repeat symbol #1 (say 3 times), draw symbol #2 (say 3 times), again say the person's name (3 times) and repeat symbol #1 (say 3 times) again.
Method #1 - Visualize the client laying on their back in front of you and imagine giving the client a step by step treatment as you would if they were physically in front of you. (Variation: You may wish to divide the body into zones to do this.) Draw symbol #1 in the air over the body, now draw symbol #3 over the body (and say the person's name 3 times) and once more repeat symbol #1.
Method #2 - Same steps as method one but instead of visualizing the person, use a pillow, stuffed animal, or doll to represent the client's body.
Method #3 - Imagine the person is floating in between your hands surrounded by a ball of purple light. Using one hand to 'write' above the other, draw the symbols as you normally would and then place your hands together in a prayer like position - this gives the client an overall body healing at once.
Method #4 - Visualize the person inside the palms of your hands while you hold them in a prayer like position and mentally draw the symbols in the air over them as you see them inside your palms. Continue to keep your hands in this prayer like position for as long as necessary. I experience little 'pops' of energy as 'things' are released.
NOTE: The hands-on hand positions in a Reiki 2 treatment are the same and Reiki 1, however there are four additions to Reiki 2.
1] RE Client laying on their back - after finished, "fluff, smooth, and/or sweep the aura".
2] RE Client laying on their front - after finished, do a "chakra balance".
3] RE Client laying on their front - after finished, "fluff, smooth, and/or sweep the aura". These are not mandatory but sometimes they are more necessary for some than others.
4] It is also sometimes necessary to do a body balance and this is done from the foot area. Gently pressing upon the pulse spots in both feet at the same time with your thumbs, you will feel a difference or a singleness of beat. If one side is stronger than the other stay there until both sides become equal and then gently but quickly remove your hands from the feet. This can have amazing affects upon those who have dramatic mood swings or are unbalanced between their female and male sides - especially where one side is more predominant than the other.
