Reiki Hand Positions

The next position, as shown in position 6, is just below the breast area over the rib cage. Position 7 is one hand's width below that, and position 8 is directly above the belly button (the solar plexus). The solar plexus is also an area that draws a lot of energy and may require a little additional time.

Position 9 is directly below the belly button, the spleen chakra. Position 10 works on the root chakra and places the hands in a "V" shape at the sides of the groin (not touching the groin area or any genitalia).

These are the major areas of healing the front side of the body. For the limbs, I move from the groin area to the arm that is nearest me and hold the hand, then the forearm, then the elbow, the upper arm, and the shoulder. Then I move to the other shoulder and work my way down that arm and down the leg on that side from the hip to the thigh, the knee, the calf and then the foot. Then I take the other foot and work my way up that leg back to the hip.

Then I have the client roll over and work on the upper shoulders, upper back and shoulder blades, middle back, and the lower back. I don't work on the buttocks unless someone has a specific problem there like the sciatic nerve. (Full Chart Below)

That's all there is to it! This full treatment should take an hour to an hour and a half. A full treatment does not have to be given every time, though in the case of severe illness, it is recommended to give a full treatment for four consecutive days. For treatment of a broken arm, for example, I just treat the arm. There are many other shorter treatments in Reiki practice, like energy boosts. We'll cover those in future articles.

Hope this helps explain the hand positions. If you have any questions, feel free to join in the Reiki Online Class discussion thread.
