Reiki treatment checklist
1. Before the recipient arrives –you may wish to spend a little time in meditation or self
treatment some people like to smudge the room. (smudging is optional)
2. Find your inner calm, avoid rushing around.
3. Spend a few minutes with the client to gain rapport . Make sure they have enough time for you to
complete the treatment .You can do a shorter treatment if the do not have an hour or forty five
minutes.
4. Explain the Reiki process and hand positions.
5. Answer any questions - make sure there is enough time after the treatment to answer
any others that might arise.
6. Try to Ensure that you will not be interrupted. Lock the door, switch off the phone.
Though excellent treatments can occur under chaotic conditions too.
7. Try to use a CD on 'repeat' rather than a cassette player with its loud clicks
when the tape ends. It also means you do not have to get up half way through to turn the tape over!
8. Make sure that both you and the client are comfortable.
Posture is important. You will
be more comfortable during treatments if you stand on both feet , knees slightly bent, feet placed a
bit apart, butt tucked in back straight and shoulders slightly rounded not held back rigidly. You won't
want to get stiff limbs or pins and needles because you have put your body into an awkward position.
If you are standing make sure the massage table is at the correct height for you and if you are healing
on a divan/bed find a stool at the correct
height to allow you reach across the client without strain. Remember have a blanket or rug ready in
case the client feels cold. This can happen when you move down to the legs .
9. If you wish Ask Angels or your Reiki guides for assistance (a personal option) and then
begin the treatment using the techniques and hand positions taught. Many people like to place there
hands in the Gassho (prayer position) Allow your consciousness to meld with that of the recipient.
Your intuition can guide you and lead your hands. It is not necessary to stick rigidly to the hand
positions listed - they serve as a guide. But it is best if you do know the hand positions.
When you move your hands some people prefer to move only one
at a time and take the other one off to 'meet' it. That way the connection will
remain continuous. not everyone finds this to be essential. Do keep your hands in the
aura as you move them if possible. Keep your touch light and without pressure. The hands are held
with fingers and thumbs together and slightly cupped. Lift your hands rather than sliding them along
the body.
10. Once you have completed the front of the body, ask the client to turn
over so you can treat the back. If it is comfortable for the client to do so.
Pregnant women and persons with joint problems or injuries etc. can be treated entirely
from the front or side if that is more comfortable for them.
11. After completing the treatment, if you wish, cleanse the aura gently
from the crown to the feet with a sweeping motion, discard any debris, and then
bring the aura back to the crown. Thank any Reiki guides and helpers for
assisting if you had called on them.
12. Some people use gentle pressure on the recipient's shoulder until they come back to full waking
consciousness. I prefer to suggest that they take all The time they need to return to alertness before
they sit up. You might offer them some fresh water or herb tea.
13. Take some time to discuss the treatment, any feelings, and give advice about further treatments.
14. Settle any arrangements for payment or exchanges if applicable.
15. Ensure that your client has your details and knows how to contact you for advice or assistance.
16. Try to Keep a record of your clients and their details, name, address, as
well as treatment dates, feedback and any fee charged. People who do lots of large group healing
circles or drop in clinics may not find it practical to keep detailed records.
