How to Give Reiki Treatments
Reiki is considered a form of spiritual healing wherein the Reiki Master or practitioner lays hands on the patient. The laying of hands purportedly promotes and stimulates the body to heal itself of malady through the process of detoxifying the body and breaking down energy blocks. Reiki can be used in combination with other alternative forms of healing as well as with Western practices, and is purported to have been successful in the treatment of cancer and asthma.
Things You'll Need:
Warm, dimly lit room
Become a Certified Reiki Practitioner
1
Attend Reiki classes. You must pass at least the first level of Reiki to begin practice on other people.
2
Learn the Reiki hand positions and how to access the energy around you.
3
Select a Reiki Master to perform an attunement. An attunement is a spiritual ceremony where a Reiki master tunes your body to the spiritual world of Reiki, ensuring a broader understanding of Reiki and a permanent energy field to surround your body.
4
Feel the Universal Life Energy during and after the attunement. The attunement is said to open your body to allow a channel of energy to flow between you and the Reiki Master, as well as from you to the energy of the universe.
5
Complete your second level of Reiki and you will be able to perform distance Reiki treatments. Distance Reiki treatments involve treatments wherein the practitioner and patient are not in close proximity, and in fact may be several hundred miles away.
6

Give Reiki Treatments
1
Decide if you want to open a Reiki center where you'll give Reiki treatments or if you will choose to travel to your patients at their convenience. Reiki practitioners work both ways.
2
Dim the lights to create a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere. A central aspect of Reiki is deep relaxation or meditation, and thus the environment of the treatment should contribute to that cause.
3
Heat the room to a comfortable temperature. Give a light blanket for your client if the temperature is still too cool. Remember that even if you are warm, your patient's comfort is of the utmost importance.
4
Recline your patient on a massage table.
5
Place your hands, in a specific Reiki hand posture, either lightly on or slightly above your patient on all their chakras.
6
Hold the posture at each chakra until the flow of energy weakens and dissipates, then move to the next chakra.
7
Feel the energy begin to flow from your surroundings through your hands into your patient.
8
Experience the warm sensation flowing from your hands said to occur during a Reiki session.
Tips & Warnings
Wear clothing that is comfortable.
If you wear shoes, make sure they fit well and are comfortable, as you will be on your feet consistently for long periods of time.
You will have more control over the environment if you request your clients come to you.
Reiki should not be considered a replacement for traditional medicine. If you experience severe nausea, vomiting or migraines, consult a doctor immediately.
Reiki is not a proven science and results do vary.
Before you start any alternative medical technique, be aware that many have not been scientifically evaluated. Often, only limited information is available about their safety and effectiveness. Each state and each discipline has its own rules about how alternative medicine practitioners can be professionally licensed. If you decide to visit one, choose one that is licensed by a recognized national organization. Consult your primary health care provider about your decision first. Keep your doctor informed about the alternative medical technique you undertake.
