REIKI
HAND POSITIONS - These diagrams below show some suggested healing positions when doing a treatment with someone lying on a reiki table.
Position #1 HEAD shows you sitting at someone's head with your hands over their eyes during a reiki treatment. The entire head area can be done from this position.
Position #2 BACK shows you doing someone's back while still sitting at their head and they are still lying down. Please note the people receiving a treatment are usually fully clothed and normally only their shoes are removed.
Position #3 FRONT OF BODY is a bit confusing since we do not do the chest area unless there is a need for it. If the person requests it then we try to make it as non-invasive as possible. A person would receive reiki for a condition like asthma, a heart condition or lumps in the breast.
MAINTAINING AURIC FIELD CONTACT simply means to keep contact at all times with the body that you are treating if you have to move then you keep one hand on body while doing it so that you do not have to 'reintroduce' the energies again once you have them flowing. Keep the contact with the client both professional and impersonal ~ do not drag or caress with the hand when doing this.
The picture above suggests that the left hand receives energy and right hand gives energy - this is true only for our own bodies!! This is not true for a reiki treatment and would confuse many. In the old days only one hand was attuned but it makes no sense to me to do just one so when I do reiki initiations I do both hands.
Your body acts as a 'transmitter' as it brings in the energies for the treatment ~ both of your hands give healing to the client - neither of your hands receives energy from the client. The energy is only flowing one way during a treatment ~ out! You receive the energy from the universe [through your aura, your body, etc] ~ and then you put the energy out! So that there is no mistake for practitioners ~ you cannot receive the negative energies of a client because you are only channeling energy one way [out].
This picture shows a group healing and this is one method of team treating a person when there are several practitioners present. Try to have balance when team treating someone, for example:
4 practitioners: as above ~ working in unison
2 practitioners: work across from each other in unison
3 practitioners: one at one end of the body while the other two work across from each other in unison
5 practitioners: one at the head [who also does the feet] while the other 4 practitioners work across from each other in unison
When two practitioners are paired up to treat a person at any time they must both move to the next place at the same time to keep the flow in unison. Likewise, when one practitioner decides 'she' is finished 'she' is to remain sitting there until the other practitioner is also finished and then they may both gently remove themselves from the body at the same time. It is uncaring and unfair to the client receiving the treatment to do anything else and shows a lack of respect for the client, from the practitioner, to do anything else.
