2. Raise your hands up high above the head, calling in the Reiki energy, and feel the vibrations of Reiki into the whole of the body.

3. Every person holds the hands of the person beside them to make a circle. Alternatively, each person places their right hand facing down over the next person's left hand; while their own left hand is facing up underneath the next person's right hand. This way hands do not need to touch.

4. Allow Reiki to flow counter-clockwise. By doing so, you receive Reiki energy from your left hand and send it out to the person beside you from your right hand at the same time. Reiki energy goes around from hands to hands at the speed of light. Some people feel the energy with the hands apart more than holding hands. You may also notice the tendency for the circle to begin moving in the direction of the energy.

5. Optionally, everyone can switch the positions of the hands so that the energy will now flow clockwise.

6. Many people who have not received a Reiki attunement feel Reiki energy when they join the circle. Even if they do not feel it, Reiki goes more smoothly when in the circle. Two persons can make the circle facing each other.

7. One other way is to hold the middle finger of the person on your left, touching the tip of the finger with your thumb cushion to make the circle, and circulate Reiki energy.
