Traditionally, Reiki follows a sequence for applying the hands upon another person. This is in order to cover the major areas of energy flow, as well as energizing the major organs and energy centres of the body. This systematic approach works on the twelve hand positions on the front of the body and twelve on the back of the body.
The hand positions are a way to facilitate general healing, and to boost the life force and vitality of the recipient. The hands are usually left in there position for anywhere from three to five minutes, with the whole treatment taking one to one and half hours.
