How is Reiki therapy applied?
Direct Treatment: warm In the direct physical treatment of a subject, the practitioner’s hands are placed on the subject in a particular progressive pattern and held in each position while this unusually warm energy passes into the subject’s body. A full treatment typically includes 12 to 18 positions on the head, front and back of the torso. When even light touch is contraindicated, as in the presence of lesions or extreme pain, the hands can hover inches off the body. Each position is held for approximately two to five minutes in a classic treatment, or a shorter or longer time, determined by the specific situation. The experience of giving direct Reiki treatment, involves a strong current of life force being drawn through the practitioner’s hands into the subject. The subject may have the experience of this warm current spreading out into their body tissue like the spreading of a broken egg, relaxing them deeply, into coherence. Distant Treatment: comprehensive In distant treatment
