Section Six

The Leading Hand Positions

Reiki practitioners should follow their intuition and place their hands where they sense the client needs it most.

Each hand placement during a Reiki treatment should ideally last around three minutes. However, one must remain flexible and adjust the timing and placement of their hands according to their client’s specific needs.

Learning the following hand positions and adapting them per client is recommended to ensure effective treatment.

The head

Position One
After performing Kanji one and two, gently place both hands over the eyes and face without applying pressure.
Position Two
Gently place both hands on the sides of the head, covering the ears and face.
Position Three
Place both hands at the back of the head. If performing healing on yourself, you can gently roll your head to one side for easy positioning.
Position Four

Place hands on the top of the head, covering the crown chakra. Sitting while giving healing at this head position may be more comfortable.

The torso

Position Five

While sitting or standing, place hands over the throat chakra without touching.

Position Six

Reach down to the heart position and place your hands over the chest and heart. If you’re working with a female client, raise your hand above this sensitive area. Alternatively, you can stand on one side of the client and place both hands on the heart area.

Position Seven

Place one hand in front of the other across the client’s solar plexus, below the heart and at the bottom of the ribcage.

Position Eight
Keeping your hands in the same formation, move to cover the stomach chakra, located just below the belly button. If you feel the need, you can hover your hands over the base chakra or place them where you feel the client needs it.

The legs & feet

Position Nine
Place your hands to cover the front of the thighs and knees simultaneously.
Position Ten
Place both palms over the soles of each foot, one after the other, starting at the foot of the bed.
Position Eleven
Gently ask the client to turn over, making sure they’re comfortable before you continue.

The back

Position One

Place your hands on the back of their head. Adjust your hand position accordingly if their head is turned to one side.

Position Two

Place one hand across the shoulders and the other at the base of the neck.

Position Three
Keeping your hands in the same formation, move them down behind the heart.
Continue down to the mid-lower back.
Move to the lower back and buttocks, being careful to hover above these sensitive areas.
Now place your hands on the back of the legs, behind the knees and ankles.

From the foot of the bed, place your palms over the souls of both feet.

Closing the session

To close the session, place one hand on the sacrum (the lower back), and the other on the crown (the top of the head). Visualise the client bathed in white light, then sweep gently down the spine, using your intention to release any residual negative energy.
