Reiki Hand PositionsThe Reiki Hand Positions These are the Diane Stein Drawings from her book, "Essential Reiki". Diane allows these to be used for teaching purposes with appropriate citation. Be sure in position one to fold a kleenex or soft clean cloth an place it over the eyes prior to doing the position. Some masters start with position #2 or #3 and then move to number 1. Remember that Reiki uses a light touch, no pressure or massage is needed. Because of massage laws, you may need to make sure you pick up your hands between positions, and not slide them to the next position as that might be constituted as massage. The positions are generally held three to five minutes. When doing the head positions you stand behind the head of the person being treated. Move to the side (some say closckwise and others anti-clockwise) of the person when doing the torso positions. You can do the knee and feet positions on the side of the person or move down to in front of the feet. . AngelReiki Site Navagation | AngelReiki Main Site | Reiki | | AngelReiki Manuals and Books |
