Additional hand positions
Some additional positions are: The "psych" with the fingers of one hand held over the third eye in the center of the brow and the other at the back of the head where the skull and the neck join. For treating emotional and mental issues .

The "Reiki drain" with the hands turned up away from the client's body with the intention of
relieving excess energy buildups.
The "laser" The thumb and first two fingers of each hand are brought together and are used like a laser or tight narrow beam to do intense work on small areas . Larger areas are treated with this by moving the hands in the infinity sign (a sideways figure eight).
The "benediction" with the right hand on the clients knee or shoulder and the left hand held up in
the air palm outward, said to help with spiritual and emotional healing as well as pain relief.
I like to use a "steam clean” technique where the hands are held in a v with the fingers partially
overlapped and thumbs locked together forming a V shaped space in the middle. Envision a
powerful stream of energy flowing through your hands
dislodging stubborn blocks and filling it with Reiki and light. The released gunk or excess energy is envisioned being sucked away through a pipe of light where the space between your hands and thumbs is. You may sometimes feel guided to run energy with one hand on the front of the body around the kidney area and one on the back running
the Reiki from one hand to the other or at the second or forth chakra again with one hand on the front
and one on the back.
The entire body and aura can be treated from the feet. You can treat the top of the foot the, bottom
and the toes and heal with separate hand placements if you have time . Most people carry a lot of
tension in the feet and there are reflexology points in the foot which promote wellness in every part
of the body.
Reiki can help you increase your intuitive abilities. So when you feel an urge to use a particular hand position go ahead.
Here are some of the techniques taught by the school Dr. Usui' students founded in Japan. They are almost identical to those taught in most subtle touch systems throughout the world. These are
commonly taught in Qi Gong and aid removal of negative energies. In some areas these might be
considered massage and could bring up legal issues as licenses and certification is often required for
massage.
1. Tapping This means to lightly and rhythmically tap or pat the ki field with either your palm or fingertips. This is useful to relieve stagnation or congestion and to improve circulation.
2. Pushing , Pulsing
Slightly open and close the palm. Resembles a kneading cat motion. Stretch the fingers and hand open, then relax. Do this repeatedly at a steady pace. the qi is emitted from the center of the hand.
The indications for pulsing are similar to tapping. Stimulates and improves circulation. Pulsing can be used over any area of the body that requires it, including specific acupressure points. If you pulse directly over an acupuncture point, you may feel tingling and warmth at the point or radiating along the meridian.
3. Stroking, Waving, combing
Is very useful for congestion or pain. The fingertips sweep down the patients energy field, as though brushing the pain away.
Not part of Dr. Usuis' System as far as I know, but some teachers teach fluffing the aura prior to
combing or waving. That is to raise your hands up through the aura from root to above the crown
with little stirring movements.
