Applying the right Reiki positions during the Reiki treatment balances the whole body energies and brings out a relaxed and positive feeling for your clients. The crucial role to achieve this are the Reiki positions of your hands.
As the treatment session is conducted, the hand positions are importantly executed. They are able to let the individual feel the strong sense of coldness, heat, tingling, or pulsations vibrating within him. It is also possible to be devoid of any sort of feelings. Reiki treatment may be performed on yourself or to another. The positions of the hand are definitely meant to cure the diseases that affect the parathyroid, thymus, thyroid gland, asthma, and the throat, among others. If you have not witnessed an actual healing procedure, then you may not be familiar with the various hand positions. This article is going to give you an idea of what they are. Read on and find out below.
Basically the first Reiki positions for your hands are the face. Put your palms on the face of your client. Make sure that the palms should form a cup over the eyes while the fingers are on the forehead. There must be no pressure at all but only a gentle touch.
The second position includes the hand on the crown and on the top of the head. Both hands must be on the sides of the head whereas the heels of the hands are located near the ears. The fingertips must be able to touch the crown.
The back of the head is the third position. Form a cross by using your arms. One of the hands must be on the head while the other one is above the neck’s nape.
The fourth Reiki positions include the heart and collarbone. Make a V-like shape with the thumb and fingers. You must be able to easily hold your neck via the V formation. Make sure that you lower one of your hands and have it resting in between the collarbone and the heart.
The fifth Reiki position is touching the jaw line and the chin as well. Your hands will form a cup and let your chin rest in it. Let your hands wrap themselves on your jaw line. The next Reiki positions are the sixth and include your ribs. Put your hand on the upper portion of the rib cage and provide some support to the bended elbows. The other hand should be on the abdomen. Let your fingertips touch your tummy.
The pelvic area is included in the seventh position. Put your hands on your pelvic bone and allow your fingertips to touch your pelvic region.
The next hand position concerns your shoulders. Assuming you treat yourself, bend your elbows and arms over the head and touch your shoulder blades with your hand. While your elbows are bent, put your hands onto the center part of your back.
As the final position you will treat the lower back and the sacrum. Put your hands rest on either your or your clients lower back. Lower your arms and then place them on the sacral area and then keep a relaxed feeling.
The main intention of the Reiki positions is to let the energy flow and retain its balance once more. A practitioner will not apply a heavy pressure on the body parts but will simply touch them to promote the general flow of the somehow trapped energies.
