Reiki in a Group
A really great way to share Reiki
energy with other practitioners and friends is "group treatments,"
also called "Reiki shares," or "team treatments."
You will find that the Reiki energy flows more intensely and the
effects are much stronger in a group treatment.
An ideal number of people for this
method is 5-6, with each person receiving about 20 minutes of
treatment, or 10 minutes per side. One person lies down on the
table and is treated by the others in turn. At the start of the
treatment the recipient lies on their back. One person should
be at the head of the table and is usually the one to keep track
of time, as the others follow that person's movements. The other
participants place themselves to the left and right of the recipient,
and one person at the feet. One person should sweep the recipients
aura, then the person at the head of the table, or the "leader"
places their hands first. The others then place their hands on
the part of the body closest to them. When the "leader"
moves to the next position, the others follow. Everone should
moves their hands at the same time. When moving to the next position,
if you're not sure where to place your hands, just place them
at the next open space; follow your instincts!
When the front of the body is finished
the recipient turns over and the the treatment continues on the
back and back of the legs. At the end of the treatment the aura
is swept again, and then the next participant takes their place
on the table until each participant has had a chance to become
the receiver. In a group treatment the positions are usually held
for a shorter period so that all, or nearly all of the head positions
can be done.
Reiki Circle:
An effective way of enjoying Reiki at small
group functions or seminars is the "Reiki Circle," in
which the giver is simultaneously the receiver! Stand or sit in
a circle with each person laying their hands on the shoulders
or waist of the next person.
Reiki Sandwich: For
a group of 3, the "Reiki Sandwich" is an excellent method
of sharing Reiki. One person sits in the middle and receives treatment
simultaneously from the other two, from the front and back, or
from both sides. The aura should be swept first, and then the
givers intuitively lay their hands on different parts of the body.
When completed, the aura is swept again.
