HAND POSITIONS for REIKI 1
Many healers work intuitively - allowing their hands to do the work as they allow the client's body to direct the healing energies. While it is realized that each practitioner will adopt their own style of healing, for the purposes of teaching, a set of pre-established guide lines will be used.

I realize that each Reiki Master Teacher claims their method to be the correct way of teaching Reiki and that all others teach Radionics. For all intents and purposes, EACH METHOD IS probably VALID. As I understand energy, there is no right way or wrong way, there is simply energy - it is the intent behind the use of energy that is important. If a client benefits from a treatment then the practitioner is doing things, 'the right way'.
