Just to carry on about positions, I work the arms and legs as well as the regular chakra points. I noticed that these were not addressed in Finality's post from Furamoto.
Do others work the arms and legs?
I have found that many emotional issues are felt in the arms and legs, around joints, in the hands, etc. I also find that holding a clients hand and letting reiki flow after completing the arm is a wonderful feeling and that the client will often grasp my hand tighter, cry, or be otherwised moved by this. For some it is a tenderness they rarely experience. I have been moved to tears at times by the transfer of energy.
I work the legs and then the feet last, grasping the feet firmly and grounding. I do this more gently at the beginning of my sessions.
Would anyone like to share their other techniques that may not be "traditional"?
