1) Get comfortable in a quiet space where you won’t be disturbed for 15 to 30 minutes, it is preferable to sit in a chair with your feet flat on the ground and back straight but whatever position is most comfortable will suffice.
2) Relax and calm your mind by performing Four Fold Breathing:
A) Inhale for 4 seconds
B) Hold for 4 seconds
C) Exhale for 4 seconds
D) Hold for 4 seconds
E) Repeat
3) Once you feel relaxed and your mind is calm, close your eyes and visualize the segula/image above in your minds eye. It’s ok if your mind wanders, just gently bring your focus back to the visualization and continue to hold this visualization.
4) Bring your hands up and into gasho position (prayer position) and recite the Reiki Principals with the intent of beginning your healing session:
Just for today, anger not.
Just for today, worry not.
Be grateful.
Work on yourself with appreciation.
Be kind to all Beings.
5) From gasho position perform the Qabalistic Cross (using your right hand index and middle finger together):
A) Touching your forehead, intone Ateh (Thou art).
B) Touching your chest (heart/solar plexus), intone Malkuth (The kingdom).
C) Touching your right shoulder, intone Ve-Geburah (And the power).
D) Touching your left shoulder, intone Ve-Gedulah (And the glory).
E) Return to gasho position, intone Le-Olahm (Forever).
F) Extending your right hand/arm into the air, pointing up with your index/middle fingers, intone Amen.
6) After reciting the Reiki Principals and performing the Qabalistic Cross, visualize brilliant white light mixed with violet light emanating from the center of the rose and brilliant pink light emanating from the rose petals. Visualize the white/violet/pink light shining on the crown of your head, flowing down through your crown filling your entire body and aura, clearing all energy blockages/non-beneficial energies. When your body and aura are full with this brilliant white/violet/pink light it will flow out of the bottom of your feet and down into the Earth grounding you. This energy will flow through you like a waterfall and you should continue this visualization for 15 to 30 minutes.
7) After completing the visualization bring your hands back to Gasho position and recite the Reiki principals with the intent of closing your healing session.
The segula/image used in this visualization is one that I use for distance Reiki and I charge it with Reiki energy from time to time with the intent of connecting with those who wish to access the healing energies either by performing the meditation above or simply gazing/meditating upon it.
