Level 1 reiki practitioners who receive an energy attunement will also learn the hand positions to use if they wish to treat themselves.
The positions are categorized as being related to head, body, back, and legs and feet. In this article, we will look at the back and leg treatments for self-healing.
Note that you can just hover with your palms, or rest your hands in each position. NEVER press down hard.
Back
BA 3
Hands approximately at the middle of the back above the kidneys.
Treats: Stress, allergies, relationship problems.
BA4
Place hands on the lower back, below the waist.
Treats: Chakra 1, pelvic area, reproductive system, and relationship and emotional problems.
Legs and feet
L1
Kneecaps, place one hand above the kneecap and one hand under the knee. Treat each knee separately for 3 to 10 seconds.
Treats: Knee injuries, headache, stiffness in the neck and energy blockage in the lower body. Pay attention to them if you are overweight.
L2
Ankles, do each one separately. Hold your hands in the position most comfortable for you. Pay special attention to this area if you are prone to sprains or balance issues.
Treats ankles, energy blockages, problems with neck, throat, thyroid gland, lymphatic system, and problems in the pelvic area.
L3
Feet. Treat each one separately. One hand should cover the sole of the foot, while the other should hold it in the most comfortable position for you, such as the tops of the feet or toes.
Treats: A wide range of ailments. This is because the feet contain reflex zones for all the organs in the body. All 7 chakras and 14 primary meridians will be treated. Pay attention to the heels, the backs of the heels, and the Achilles tendons as well as soles, tops and toes. Touching the feet in this way will also grounds and calm you, leading to a great deal less stress and more relaxation.
There are a number of charts available that show you which to use to relieve certain conditions. They will usually show the condition and then the hand position to use.
You might see notations such as H1 for the head, B4 at the body, BA3, L3 and so on. Post the chart and position diagrams in a prominent place near where you will be practicing, for ease in healing yourself using reiki.
