Sitting comfortably,
Spine lengthened,
Relax.
Beginning with Kenyoko Ho,
Dry brushing.
Gently sweeping your hands through your energy field.
Now bring your hands together in Gassho at the heart center.
Take a moment to close your eyes and center your awareness.
Feel your breath moving through you,
Steady and calm.
Take a steady breath in and breathe out.
Silently set your intention to perform Hatsu Reiho to generate universal life force energy and find a deep awareness of Reiki.
Joshin Kokuyo Ho,
Allow your hands to rest gently in your lap.
Focusing the mind with the breath.
Allow your breath to flow naturally and steadily through your nose.
Begin to focus your attention on your Hara.
Your energetic center just below the navel and further back towards the spine.
Allow your body to soften and simply be.
Rooted and present in this moment.
Imagine yourself as a mountain,
Heavy and broad at the base,
Grounded and unshakable.
Rooted deep into the earth,
While your spine rises tall and strong,
Reaching up into the heavens,
Open and expansive.
Grounded,
Yet infinitely expanded.
Gently bring your attention to your crown chakra,
Just above your head.
Feel as this chakra starts to slowly awaken,
Opening,
Allowing the light that surrounds you to start pouring in.
Visualize pure light or energy flowing down through your body and gathering at your Hara.
Inhale as the light floods in.
Exhale,
Feel the light build,
Starting to spread and fill your physical space.
Filling you with pure light and energy.
Breathe in the light.
Exhale,
The light glows brighter.
Activating the light within you.
As you exhale,
Feel as this light fills your entire body,
From the very top of your head to the soles of your feet.
Then flowing upwards,
Filling your chest area with light.
Your shoulders,
Arms and hands,
Your throat,
The back of your neck,
And the space in your head.
Inhale,
Light floods in.
Exhale,
Light builds.
Finding your flow.
Feeling effortlessly aligned.
Now feel as your light flows out through your skin.
In every direction.
Expanding out into your aura.
Spreading outwards into infinity.
Filling the universe.
Radiating love and peace into the world around you.
And now gently draw it back.
Settling the light all around you.
As far in as feels right for you today.
And if you feel called to,
Sealing it in with a beautiful bubble or a sphere of protection.
Grounded.
Infinitely expanded.
Oneness.
Harmony.
Love and balance.
Bring your palms back together in gassho at your heart.
Sesshin Toitsu.
Creating a unified mind.
Inhale,
The light floods in.
Exhale,
Feel as the light flows to your hands.
Feel yourself in your place of gratitude.
Your Kansha.
The colours.
The sounds.
The sounds.
The smells.
The beautiful sensations that tell you that you are here.
You are present.
Feel the emotions.
The joy.
The gratitude.
Notice as a smile dances across your lips.
Inhale and sense the energy travelling along your arms.
Across your shoulders.
Through your heart chakra.
And down into your hara.
Your heart filling with light.
Before flowing deeper into your centre.
As you exhale.
Sense the energy rising again from your hara.
Moving back through your heart.
Shoulders.
Arms.
And flowing out through your fingertips.
Allow the sensations,
The energy between the palms of your hands to build.
With each cycle of breath.
Feel as the energy strengthens.
Reiki flowing in and out.
And hara in unity.
Unifying the mind and spirit.
Calm.
Centred.
Whole.
This is Sesshin Toitsu.
Unity of the mind,
Body and spirit.
The stillness from which all healing arises.
Moving now to perform a self-treatment.
Or a treatment on another.
Or simply ending your practice here.
And we complete this practice with Kenyoko Ho dry brushing.
Gently sweeping your hands once more through your energy field.
Starting with your right hand to your left shoulder.
Bringing your palms once more into Gassho.
And giving thanks.
For Reiki.
For your breath.
For your practice.
And for this sacred moment of stillness.
Thank you.
