SHUCHU REIKI
(Group Reiki Treatment)
Copyright © 2003 James Deacon

Shuchu Reiki involves a group of Reiki practitioners working together on a single client.

This can make for a shorter treatment time, and the 'intensity' of the treatment is increased as more practitioners are involved [though as to whether or not a greater intensity necessarily equates with a more effective treetment, is debatable]

One version of the group treatment familiar in several western styles of Reiki involves an equal number of practitioners working on each side of the client's body, and one working at the head. While symmetry of treatment is the goal here, it is not absolutely necessary.

If there are not enough people to cover all the positions when working on the front or back of the client, (especially when using a hand placement-set with a large number of positions), then just as in a standard one-person treatment, the practitioners may move on to other positions in succession.
