Before a Reiki Master begins healing, they may use a form of scanning called Byosen Reikan Ho to sense the areas of the body which need to be healed. The hands are held above the recipient’s body and moved over the surface, not touching the body, but hovering slightly above it.
The Master must notice any sensations they observe as they move their hands over the body. This may be temperature changes, pain, itching, tingling, or other unusual sensations. When these sensations are noticed, the Master then focuses Reiki energy into those areas where the change is noticed.
Some Masters use the scanning technique before a session begins, first scanning the entire body before they begin treatment. This way, they can get a thorough assessment before treatment begins in order to begin concentrating on those areas prior to starting.
Others prefer to scan while the session is taking place. They move their hands over the body, usually starting at the head, and they stop and concentrate Reiki energy whenever they encounter sensations.
It may be a good idea to do an initial scan before you begin. Most practitioners pray or say some sort of affirmation before they begin a session in order to clear their mind, open the flow of energy, and prepare to focus the session.
If you don’t perform this initial scan, you won’t know what to say in your prayer or statement of intention. You should ideally have some idea of the purpose of the session before you begin, which is why scanning prior to beginning is important.
Of course, you may also scan as you go in order to find areas you may have missed during your initial scan. These scans are by no means comprehensive. The practitioner may simply miss certain areas, particularly those which have problems that are in the early stages of development. When these problems are in the early phases, their energy may be faint. This could lead to potential problems being missed during the initial scan.
I suggest scanning once before beginning in order to develop an initial picture of the situation for use in your statement of intention or prayer. Then continue to scan the body as you focus energy in order to attempt to find any problem zones you may have missed in the initial scan. This way, you can be sure to uncover more potential problems than you would by using either scanning method on its own.
