Many Reiki Practitioners use the Kanji hand positions prior to giving Reiki treatments. They are an easy way to centre, ground and bring in the White Light. While you may use any method you may prefer to centre and ground before giving a treatment. You may want to learn these positions, as they are most beneficial.
KANJI I
Kanji I is used for centring and grounding.
This one is simple. Clasp your hands and hold them close to your heart centre. As you look down on them, your two thumbs should be together and straight up. Then your two index fingers would also be together and straight up. The rest of your hands are clasped. The best way to form Kanji I is to clasp all fingers together. Then straighten up your thumbs, then your index finger.
KANJI II
Kanji II is used to bring in the White Light.
This is like Kanji I except that you clasp your index fingers and join and straighten your middle fingers. Once you form the Kanji, raise your hands and arms above your head, with your eyes closed and third fingers pointing upwards toward the heavens. Slowly lower your arms until your hands are in front of your heart centre. As you do this you will experience the White Light coming down into all of your bodies through your Crown Chakra.
KANJIÂ III
Kanji III increases your intuitive abilities.
Begin by entwining your fingers together. Close them as much as you can so that your hands look like the top and sides of a square. Your thumbs should be together and straight up.
KANJIÂ IV
Kanji IV opens the portals to other dimensions and realities.
Now this one is very, very tricky, but worth the effort to learn it. Turn your hands so you are looking at your palms. Take your right ring finger and place it between your left index and middle fingers. Take your left ring finger and place it between your right index and middle fingers (you’ll have to do a little twisting of your hands to accomplish this). Allow your baby fingers to touch each other and stick straight up (like you did with your index fingers in Kanji I. Bring your middle fingers forward (on top of the intersected ring fingers) so that the top pads of your middle fingers are touching the top pads of your thumbs. Join your index fingers so they are forming a steeple. Your wrists should be close together, and your elbows pointing at an angle towards the floor
