There are four different hand positions given for self-treating the feet and each one is listed separately. For me, as long as both feet get done, and the tops and bottoms are covered, then it doesn’t make any sense to separate these positions into four different ones.

The first position is to hold your foot in both hands in a way that is comfortable. Most people cup one hand over the top of the foot and cup the other along the bottom. William Rand’s handbook, Reiki: The Healing Touch, has the left foot as position #11 and the right as #12.

Alternately, you can cup the bottoms of both feet at the same time, with the left hand on the left foot and the right hand on the right foot. Then, I would go to the top and cup them at the same time as well. You could even press the bottoms of the feet together as in a yoga position.

The last position has the person cupping the right food with the left hand, and the left foot with the right hand. The arms cross. This is said to balance out both sides of the nervous system.

Whatever way you chose to treat the feet, it is very important to do so. Ending at the feet helps to ground the person receiving the reiki. It’s a good way to end your treatment and a good way to ground before reentering into the regular world.
