  • Sit down, close your eyes and place hands together in front of your chest (prayer position).
  • Focus your attention at the point where the two middle fingers meet.
  • Let go of everything else. If your mind wanders, acknowledge the thought, let it go and just refocus returning to the point where your middle fingers meet.
  • Repeat the five reiki principles either aloud or internally.
  • If you find it uncomfortable to hold your hands in Gassho for 5-20 minutes, simply let your hands (kept together) slowly drop down onto your lap finding a more comfortable position to continue the meditation.
  • You may observe energy in the form of heat, cold or images, just let it go and return your focal point to the tips of your two middle fingers.
  • If you need to adjust your posture; move slowly, deliberately and consciously. It is easier and better to meditate with a straight spinal column, keeping your head still.
  • If you suffer from back problems or find it difficult to sit still; try sitting on a straight back chair with a few pillows for comfort.
  • Alternatively, you can sit on the floor on a few cushions with your back against a wall. You could even meditate while lying down or a sofa or bed, but you may find you fall asleep, which at night is OK, but in the morning, could leave you late for work or other engagements.
