Tanden
Chiryo Ho and Hara Chiryo Ho are two different names
for the same technique: essentially a method of detoxification.
Here,
detoxification does not solely refer to the flushing of actual
physical substances from the being, but the removal of
psychological, emotional and spiritual 'toxins' as well.
This
de-tox technique can be incorporated into a general Reiki treatment,
or used as a stand-alone practice.
One formal version of the stand-alone application of Tanden
Chiryo Ho is as follows:
Rest
your hands, palms down, on your thighs.
Close
your eyes and 'hara-centre' yourself: focus your awareness in
your seika tanden
For
a few moments, simply 'be' - silently and restfully 'watching
the breath': loosely focussing on the natural rhythms of your
breathing. There is no interference with the natural process
- no seeking to consciously breathe - merely to be aware that
you are breathing effortlessly.
Let
yourself 'see' and feel the Reiki pervading and permeating your
entire being - know that you are one with the phenomenon that
is Reiki - part of it.
Staying
in this awareness, perform gassho rei (the gassho
bow) and make a silent statement of intent - something to the
effect that you will now begin this treatment for the healing
and wellness of your client.
Standing
to the client's left side, place your left hand on their tanden
area, and place your right hand on their forehead.
Be aware
of the Reiki flow beneath your hands. You may silently affirm
the desire that all toxins be - gently - cleared from
the client.*
In this
technique you are not concerned so much with the precise
nature of the energetic sensations (i.e. hibiki
-feedback) received via the hands, as with the intensity
of sensation. Keep your hands in position, continue to monitor
the Reiki flow until you begin to sense an equilibrium - a
balancing of the flow between your hands. This may take only
a moment, or it may take several minutes.
When you
can feel the same level of intensity of flow beneath each
of your hands, smoothly lift your right hand from the client's
forehead and bring it to rest on top of your left hand on
their tanden area.
Continue
to let the Reiki flow. 'See' and feel the Reiki flow. Be in
the experience.
Stay with
it as long as you intuit is appropriate (this might possibly
be as long as 20 minutes*)
[Not only
will this treatment technique trigger the detoxification process,
but it will also help to recharge the tanden's vital
energy reserves]
When you
recognise that enough has been achieved for the current session,
withdraw your hands from the client's tanden area.
Manifest
kansha - gratitude - for having been granted this opportunity
to assist your client to heal themself.
To
complete the procedure, perform gassho rei
You
can of course also self-treat with Tanden
Chiryo Ho
________
*
If applied too 'vigourously',
(or for that matter, for too great a length of time) this technique
can cause diarrhoea
and other cathartic responses symptomatic of acute detoxification.
The intent should be one of achieving a gradual, gentle detox,
without subjecting the client to such stressful side-effects.
