Here is a translation of Hatsurei-ho
on Pages
207-209 from Chapter 13: "Self Empowerment Technique in 'Modern Reiki'
" of Japanese Reiki Master Mr. Hiroshi Doi's book 'Iyashi no
Gendai
Reikiho' (Isbn. 4-9006631-34-7c0077) or "Modern Reiki Method for
Healing",
translated by Yukio Miura, Kyoto, Japan - Mr. Doi has given permission
to print this. This technique is from a Taoist qigong movement and is
still
taught in the Japanese Reiki society.
Hatsurei-ho is a way to enhance
your Reiki
channel and help you grow spiritually.
-
Kihon
Shisei
(standard posture)
Sit on the floor (Seiza) or chair.
Relax
and close your eyes. Place your focus onto your Hara-line (3-5
centimeters
below navel. Put your hands on your lap with palms down.
- Mokunen
(Focusing)
Say in your mind "I'll start
Hatsurei-ho"
to your sub-conscious.
- Kenyoku(Dry
bathing or Brushing off)
-
Place the fingers of your right
hand near
the top of the left shoulder, with the fingertips over the indentation
just in from the edge of the shoulder (where the collar bone meets the
shoulder). The hand is lying flat.
-
Draw the flat hand down across
the chest in
a straight line, over the "V" of the sternum (where the rib cage meets)
down to the right hip.
-
Repeat this procedure on the
right side, using
the left hand. Draw it flattened from the shoulder, in a straight line,
across the sternum, to the left hip.
-
Repeat the procedure again on
the left side.
-
Place the right hand on the edge
of the left
shoulder, fingertips on the edge pointing outwards.
-
Draw the right hand, flattened,
down the outside
of the arm, all the way to the finger tips, all the while keeping the
left
arm straight and at your side.
(note: in a Reiki Master workshop,
Mr.
Doi also did this with his left arm straight and out in front of him,
horizontally
- which certainly seemed easier)
- Repeat this process on the
right side, with
the left hand on the shoulder and drawing it down the right arm to the
fingertips.
-
Repeat the process on the left
side again.
-

air, visualize
and feel the vibration/light of Reiki flowing into your hands and run

your whole body.
- Joshin
Koku ho
(Cleansing Breathing)
-
Put your hands on your lap with
your palms
up and breath naturally thru your nose. Focus on your hara line and
relax.
-
When you breath in, visualize
the white light
of Reiki coming in thru your crown chakra, on to your hara line and
expand
to whole of your body, melting all your tensions.
-
When you breathe out, visualize
that the light
that filled up your whole body, expands to outside of your body thru
your

that the light
stored in your hara line radiate out thru your hands.
-
Repeat (1), (2) for a couple of
minutes or
as long as you like

Shuyo ho
The Hatsurei ho described in
Mr.Doi's book
is a slightly modified version of the original. How it is done
originally is also described on page 162 of his book. Hatsurei-ho

- Kenyoku
- brushing off
- Joshin
