A Minor Detour - On Crossed Arms
So I checked with a group of reiki practitioners to see whether you’re supposed to leave your arms uncrossed when doing the shoulder position. And, I’m much relieved to find out that I was right. Unlike other methodologies it doesn’t matter what is crossed, or isn’t, during reiki. The energy will go where it needs to go and will flow regardless of crossed arms. So, when performing the shoulder, or any reiki position, make sure it’s comfortable for you. Don’t worry about getting the hands “just right”. If something feels better, then do it. Move your hands a few inches to one side, or a bit higher or lower. Experiment with finding the perfect way to perform the reiki hand positions for you.
And, because I couldn’t resist drawing another stick figure…don’t be like this guy. Do what feels right to you.
