Usui Reiki Hand Positions – Are They Really Necessary?
As a Reiki Teacher, I am asked quite frequently how important are the hand positions during a Reiki session. And quite honestly, Dr. Usui taught the positions as a way of creating a standard of applying Reiki. In other words, he made it a systematic form of applying Reiki.

But when you understand the different levels of Reiki, the long distance symbol is given to the Reiki student through their initiation into Reiki level 2. At this level, the Reiki hand positions do not apply since the Reiki is being sent through distant healing.

But if you are to follow Dr. Usui’s guidelines, you would begin at the head, and follow down through the jaws, throat, heart, solar plexus, upper abdomen, lower abdomen and to the feet. However, Mrs. Takata taught her students to go where they are guided through their intuition. Sometimes she would start at the feet, and work her way up, or she would start at the crown and work her way down. She did not have a set standard that she would apply for positioning of the hands.

My students use their intuition for applying Reiki. My rule of thumb is, go where the recipient says it hurts. If your hands feel “glued” to the spot,tyiosdfe then stay there as long as it feels like it needs to. When you feel you can lift your hands easily or they are being pushed away, then it is time to move to another spot. When you become very practiced at it, body scanning will help you determine where you need to begin.

Post Massage
She advises me to drink lots of water as massage releases toxins that have been stored up and so if I drink water I can use it as a detox to wash them out of me. ‘Sounds good to me’ I say, as I guiltily think of my pre-massage coffee. I shake her hand and wonder if I can return for another one if I come back in disguise. Or say I have a twin? Hmm, not sure she will be convinced.

I leave the room and head straight to the water dispenser. I take a few beautiful sips of the clear cool water and return to my desk. Everything feels different. Same desk, same piles of paper and same bulging email account. Same list of things to do and same full schedule of meetings to come. But I feel different. I feel as though I can see everything with clear perspective and I feel a new sense of confidence that I can take the right actions to move forward. I am no longer scrambling up the steep slope of an impossible mountain, with the peak growing further away with every step I take. Instead I feel as though I am looking down on the mountain and realising that it is just a mole hill that I can take in my stride. Who would have thought 15 minutes of quality pamper time could save me hours of flustered mistakes. My only question is…when can I get my next fix?
