Standing behind
the student, the Teacher places both hands on student's shoulders
(alternatively, on the top of the student's head), meditating
briefly to bring both parties into energetic/emotional rapport.
The Teacher
draws the DKM over the student's head with their dominant hand,
while (silently) chanting the symbol's mantra-name three times.
Visualising
the DKM above the student's head, the Teacher, guides it with
their dominant hand - moving it down into the Crown Centre, and
on down to lodge in the base of the brain.
The Teacher touches the student on the left shoulder - the
cue for them to raise their hands, still held in the gassho
position, up above their head.
The Teacher
draws the CKR over the student's hands with their dominant hand,
(silently) chanting the symbol's mantra-name three times, as -
visualising the symbol in the air, they guide it with their dominant
hand - moving it into the student's hands, then down into the
Crown Centre, and on down to lodge in the base of the brain.
The Teacher
then draws the SHK over the student's head with their dominant
hand, (silently) chanting the symbol's mantra-name three times,
as - visualising the symbol in the air, they guide it with their
dominant hand - moving it into the hands, then down into the Crown
Centre, and on down to lodge in the base of the brain.
The Teacher
then draws the HSZSN over the student's head with their dominant
hand, (silently) chanting the symbol's mantra-name three times,
as - visualising the symbol in the air, they guide it with their
dominant hand - moving it into the hands, then down into the Crown
Centre, and on down to lodge in the base of the brain.
The Teacher gently guides the student’s hands back down to their
original gassho position in front of the Heart Centre,
then repositions themself to stand front of the student.
As if opening
a book, the Teacher opens the student’s hands flat, and holding
them in their non-dominant hand, draws the CKR over
the student's 'third eye' with their dominant hand, (silently)
chanting the symbol's mantra-name three times, as - visualising
the CKR in the air, they guide it with their dominant hand - moving
it into the third eye, and on down to lodge in the base of the
brain.
The Teacher
then draws the SHK over the student's 'third eye' with
their dominant hand, (silently) chanting the symbol's mantra-name
three times, as - visualising the SHK in the air over the student's
third eye, they guide it with their dominant hand - moving it
into the third eye, and on down to lodge in the base of the brain.
The Teacher then draws the HSZSN over the student's
'third eye' with their dominant hand, (silently) chanting the
symbol's mantra-name three times, as - visualising the HSZSN in
the air over the student's third eye, they guide it with their
dominant hand - moving it into the third eye, and on down to lodge
in the base of the brain.
Once more, with their dominant
hand, the Teacher draws the CKR over the student's hands, (silently)
chanting the symbol's mantra-name three times, as - visualising
the CKR in the air, they guide it with their dominant hand - moving
it into the hands, then firmly pats the hands three times.
Next, the
Teacher draws the SHK over the student's hands, (silently) chanting
the symbol's mantra-name three times, as - visualising the SHK
, the Teacher, guides it with their dominant hand - moving it
into the hands, then firmly pats the hands three times.
The Teacher
draws the HSZSN over the student's hands, (silently) chanting
the symbol's mantra-name three times, as - visualising the HSZSN,
the Teacher, guides it with their dominant hand - moving it into
the hands, then firmly pats the hands three times.
Then, as
if closing a book, the Teacher brings the student’s hands together
again and returns them to their original gassho position
(i.e. in front of the Heart Centre)
The Teacher
then blows over the student's hands, upwards as far as the Crown
Centre, then back down as far as the Solar Plexus, then back up
to the hands.
Positioning
themself behind the student once more, the Teacher places their
hands on the student’s shoulders. Looking down at the student's
crown, the Teacher visualises a clear open central channel down
into the student's Heart Centre.
The Teacher 'places' a positive affirmation into the student’s
heart - (silently) repeating it three times with the intent that
it be accepted by the student's subconscious. [Prior to Initiation
the choice of appropriate affirmation is discussed with the student]
Placing their
hands on the student's neck just below the jaw-line, the Teacher
brings their thumbs together to rest on the student's occipital
ridge (the protrusion at the base of the skull).
Momentarily
(and ever so gently), the Teacher lifts the student's head - slightly
stretching the spine - while affirming ‘’With Divine Love and
Wisdom, this initiation is now sealed’’, or words to this effect.
The important thing is not so much the words used as the fact
that the Teacher truly experiences ( -intends, knows, feels, believes
in their Heart) that the initiation - and thus, the student's
connection with the Reiki phenomenon - is permanently sealed.
While carrying
out this 'sealing' process, some Teachers visualise a door (with
the CKR on it) closing and being locked.
The Teacher places their hands on the student’s shoulders again
and affirms:
"In the sharing of this Initiation process we both receive
blessings’’, or words to this effect.
Positioning themself in front of the student once more, the Teacher
instructs the student to lower their hands, place them palms-down
on their thighs, and to breathe slowly,deeply and smoothly.
After a moment the student is instructed to open their eyes.
