The 3 Pillars of Reiki

The 3 Pillars of Reiki

There are 3 pillars which comprise the foundation of Reiki:

Gassho:

The bringing together of hands at the heart center which helps to ground the individual, center their energy, and focus intention. This can be done as a stand-alone meditation or at the opening of a session. 

Reiji-Ho

The invocation of Reiki to begin flowing; opening yourself up and asking the energy to flow through you for the well-being of the recipient. It is done by raising the hands to the third eye (in prayer position) and asking Reiki to guide your intuition as you set aside your ego so that you may direct the energy wherever it is needed.

Chiryo

This involves either placing the hands in various positions along the body or beaming energy to the recipient so that they may receive the healing and loving energy that is Reiki.
