Kanji Hand Positions

Learning Objectives

Assuming the Kanji hand positions

During a Reiki session, whether you’re healing yourself or others, the Kanji hand positions serve as a symbolic gesture to the universe that Reiki energy is required.

The following symbols should be used before every Reiki session:

Kanji One

The first symbol a practitioner uses to connect with Reiki energy represents an important step. To start, stand with your feet slightly apart and maintain a steady stance with your knees slightly bent. Once grounded, close your eyes and place your hands over the heart chakra in the prayer position. To perform the Kanji One hand position, clasp the three fingers back, leaving the index finger and thumb upright. This technique is easy to follow and can significantly enhance the Reiki experience.

Kanji Two

This hand gesture is the second symbol used to connect to the Universal Life Force Energy. It connects you to the white light and power of Reiki, increasing its flow. To perform this gesture, raise your second or middle finger and thumb while keeping the rest of your fingers clasped. With your hand in this position, raise it above your head before slowly pulling it down to your heart centre. This action signifies drawing down the white light from above and fully connecting to the Reiki source.

Kanji Three

This symbol is optional but can improve intuition and provide insight into areas requiring more healing. If the practitioner is still unsure which regions need more attention, they can use this symbol to direct the healing energy to the necessary areas.

It is common practice to use hand positions before starting a Reiki treatment. This helps to connect and ground your energy. To begin a session, the practitioner can ask the client to close their eyes while standing over their head and then use the symbols as needed.
