Reiki Guidance

Treating yourself with Reiki is very similar to treating someone else. The session will usually begin with meditation in order to prepare to focus the energy. You can use Joshin Kokyu Ho, or you can use Seishin Toitsu.

Next, you should use prayer or a statement of intention in order to focus your thoughts onto your task. You need to know your main intentions for the treatment before you begin. Whether you wish to heal a physical or spiritual element, you must prepare by focusing on your intent.

Hand positions are used in self-treatment just as they are when treating others. Generally, the front positions are used. It may be difficult to reach the back positions, the legs, or the feet when you are treating yourself.

As you begin, start by covering your eyes with your hands, with your fingers pointed upwards. Breathe deeply, and relax as much as possible. Move your hands up to the top of your head, with your fingers just touching each other in the center of the crown of your head. Next, move your hands to the back of your head, cradling your head in your hands. Move your hands around to the side of your face, cradling your cheeks with your fingers pointing upward. You can also add an additional position where you place your hands over your ears.

Now you should move down and cup your hands around your throat. Your wrists should be together, allowing your hands to wrap around your neck, with your fingers facing the back of your neck. Keep one hand on your neck, and move the other down to rest on your breastbone in the upper middle part of your chest. Then move both hands into position on each side of your chest, with your fingers pointing toward your throat.

Move your hands down to the upper abdomen just below the breasts. Place your hands across your upper abdomen, with the fingers pointing toward each other. Next, your hands should be placed on your lower abdomen in the same position, but this time below the navel. Finally, move your hands down to your lower area with the fingers in a V formation, not quite touching. This formation should come close to your groin area, but should not touch it.

If you wish, you can also place your hands in a V shape on your upper back, just below the neck. Then move down to place your hands on your lower back near your waist as you would if you had strained it and were trying to soothe it. Finally, move your hands down a bit further, resting on your lower back and pointing in a slight downward V.

Leg and foot positions may also be used. Just place your hands over your knees, around your ankles, and over the bottom of your feet. If you can’t reach both feet at once, you can hold one foot at a time.

Although there are other symbols used by some Reiki schools, there are only four that are in use in all schools. These four symbols are Cho Ki Rei, Sei Hei Ki, Hon Sha Ze Sho Zen, and Dai Ko Myo.

Western Reiki schools have slightly different meanings for each of these symbols than Japanese schools. Also, in Western schools, the symbols are referred to by their actual names. In Japanese schools, they are simply referred to by their numbers, as in first, second, third, and fourth.

We’re going to take a look at the four different symbols, including their functions, and the effects they can have on you when used.

Cho Ki Rei (pronounced cho koo ray) is also known as the power symbol. It is used for focusing energy, connecting you with the earth, purifying the body or inanimate objects, and it can also add additional power when used in conjunction with other symbols.

Its primary purposes include making an individual feel more grounded, the protection of an individual, the healing of illnesses and pain, and to purify things like rooms, homes, places, or food.

Sei Hei Ki (pronounced say hay kee) is known as the mental symbol or emotional symbol. It used to purify the spirit, the mind, and emotions, empowering the spiritual mind, and for promoting balance and harmony.

The primary purposes of this symbol are for healing mental issues such as depression, grief, or anger, to treat addictions or bad habits, and to promote love, forgiveness, and empathy.

Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (pronounced hahn shah zay show nen) is known as the distance symbol. This particular symbol is a little more difficult to learn and master than the two previous symbols.

This symbol is used to connect the spirit to new levels of space and time, and to unify individuals within this realm. It is said that this symbol can project the Reiki to other locations or times, to connect with a higher power, and to connect with your soul or the soul of another person.

Dai Ko Myo (pronounced die ko mee-oh) is known as the Master symbol. It is considered the symbol of empowerment and mastership, and is the final symbol that must be mastered to attain the title of Reiki Master.

The symbol is primarily used to pass attunements, to aid in meditation, and it is used during Reiki treatments.
