Visualization is an important tool in Reiki.  It becomes especially useful once we learn the secrets of Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen.  Practice visualizing with twelve pairs of arms attached to your torso area and aiding you in treating another with reiki.  Feel the reiki energy pour through each of these arms as well as your own during the session. 

Your channel will strengthen.  Your awareness will heighten.  And the recipient will feel reiki very powerfully.

Reiki Crystal Grids

William Rand's Crystal Power Grid.  This grid is used to send continuous reiki energy to people, places, situations, anything at all that you feel needs powerful attention.

Here you will need eight like sized quartz crystals and a depiction of the symbol Antahkarana.  Each crystal should be cleansed and hold the intent to heal within them.  To cleanse a crystal, place the crystal in purified water, add sea salt if you feel, for 24 hours.  Then place the crystal outside for two days and two nights.  During this time the crystal will fill with sufficient masculine (sun) and feminine (moon) energy.  After the allotted time, empower the crystal with the Reiki symbols.  Hold three intentions. 1 Let the crystal fill with unlimited Reiki energy. 2 The crystal's use is for healing purposes. 3 Each of the reiki symbols is firmly held within, their power unlimited.

Choose a quartz crystal for your center piece. Empower the Antahkarana depiction and place the chosen crystal on top of it. 

Next choose a crystal to be your charging crystal.  This crystal should give off a strong masculine energy. 

Place the remaining crystals, pointy ends inwards, in a circle surrounding the center piece. 

Fill the grid with reiki energy. 

Pick up the charging crystal with your dominant hand and point it downwards over the center crystal.  Now connect the center crystal with the crystal at the one o'clock position, connect one o'clock with two o'clock and bring back to center.  Essentially, you've created a triangle of energy.  Now connect the center with two o'clock and connect two o'clock with three o'clock and back to center.  Continue connecting each of the crystals moving around the circle, creating "pie slices" several times.  Each time you circle the grid with reiki energy, you are strengthening its power. 

Repeat the following mantra while connecting the crystals, "I charge, I charge, I charge, this grid, this grid, this grid, with healing energy, with healing energy, with healing energy, to heal , to heal, to heal."  You can then replace the words "to heal" with your chosen intention, for example, "to love". 

You have energized the grid and will want to repeat this every couple of days.

Within the grid, place your healing requests and intend for it to send complete and continuous healing.

Sending Group Reiki

Often you may find yourself with a list of names of people who requested reiki.  It may be impossible for you to send individual reiki to each.  Thus, the following works fine.

Empower a blank sheet of paper with reiki.  On it list the names and situations of each recipient.  Include as much information about each recipient as you know.  Next visualize a white rose completely filled with reiki.  Draw the symbols with your minds eye around the rose. 

Now see the rose gently expand reaching all the people on your list.  Visualize the rose expand into a great blanket of white reiki energy filling all the people on your list.

Hado Meditation

Hiroshi Doi's Hado meditation technique.

Place your feet flat on the floor and sit with your spine straight.  Place your palms on each knee face up. 

Next place your hands in gassho position and connect to reiki.  Lift your arms above your head and separate your hands.  Feel Reiki energy pour down your body. 

Release your arms at the elbows and bring the palms face down to chest level.  As you inhale, visualize reiki filling your tantien and expanding through your body.  As you exhale, release the sound 'Haa' while pushing the energy along your aura downwards.  Use your palms to help you.  Your arms should travel along your sides. 

Repeat this exercise until you feel your stagnated energy move and release through the soles of your feet.
