Chair Reiki, giving treatments to seated recipients
Sometimes there is no massage table or other comfortable place for a client to lie down. Reiki
treatments can be given to a seated person quite easily and effectively. Seated treatments often take
much less time than full treatments on a massage table. The chair used does not matter, as long as the
recipient sits comfortably and the practitioner can be comfortable while giving the treatment.
Make sure the recipient is grounded, with both feet flat on the ground and in upright position. The
first and simplest chair treatment is to stand behind the chair with the other person seated with their
feet on the floor, hands on their lap, palms are usually turned up but this is not essential, legs
uncrossed. Place your hands on their shoulders. Activate Reiki and leave your hands in place until
the energy tapers off, that's it. This Method usually runs 10 minutes or so before tapering off.
You can also do a simplified hands on treatment on seated recipients using the traditional hand
positions and kneeling for the lower hand placements.
