Reiki can be used at any time, in any place, during any conditions. But in order for it to be at its most powerful, you should set the stage. Reiki works on a principle that is very similar to electricity. Energy flows through all things. Like electricity, Reiki must first be “plugged in”, in the form of attunement. After this, there must be a strong current available through which the energy can flow. If the current is broken temporarily, the energy cannot flow properly.
While Reiki energy comes through you, it does not originate within you. If one attempted to use their own energy to heal someone else, they would begin to feel tired, even depleted. But by accessing Reiki energy, an infinite power source, you can heal yourself or others without needing to deplete your own.
In order to achieve the best connection to the available Reiki energy, you must first turn yourself into a conductor. Much like electricity flows better in certain conditions, Reiki energy flows better when the conditions are right. This energy can be blocked or muted by distractions.
First, you must make the time to connect properly. If you are in a hurry, you will likely find that you aren’t able to connect as well as you should. Try to find a calm, quiet place. If you have music that relaxes you, you can play it softly. Use any type of music that really moves you, as long as it puts you in a state of calm and peace.
Reiki energy is at its most powerful in nature. In order to have the best possible connection, you may wish to go outdoors. Parks, forests, lake shores, and beaches are all marvelous places to connect. The sound of flowing or moving water is extremely relaxing, so if you can locate an area with moving water, it will amplify the flow of energy in the same way water is a superconductor for electricity.
As you begin to access the Reiki energy, you may wish to pray. If you don’t believe in God, you may pray to any higher entity you wish. You may pray to guardian angels, saints, spirit guides, or to the energy itself. Call upon the energy that is within the spiritual entity you believe in.
By setting the stage before you begin, you will find that the energy is much easier to access, and will be much more powerful than it would be if you began without these preparations. Electricity cannot move through a closed circuit, and Reiki energy cannot move through a closed mind. So take the time to open up your mind and your spirit, and you will be rewarded with a strong current of healing energy.

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.
