This is a technique I have used many, many times. It's simple, but effective.<br /> <br /> You have the recipient lay down upon his or her back. As per procedure, neither arms nor legs should be crossed. Do not deliver Reiki.<br /> <br /> Using a small object of their belonging, such as a ring, suspend it from a chain or string to create a pendulum. Hover it approximately six inches above each chakra, beginning with Muladhara. The pendulum will immediately begin to make circles over the chakra.<br /> <br /> What you are looking for are relatively wide, clockwise circles. This denotes a properly functioning chakra. Slow or little movement, or simply the pendulum rocking back and forth, denotes improper functioning. Counterclockwise suggests an inversion of energy.<br /> <br /> Once I have reached Sahasrara, completing the major seven, I will then discuss the findings. You can suggest potential physical or non-physical causes for any chakra that is improperly functioning. If you don't really know the person, talk with them. A improperly functioning Anahata, all too common in my experience, can either suggest problems of the heart or lungs, or more commonly, emotional issues. Only once have I ever saw an improperly functioning Sahasrara, which flabberghasted me. Some time later, I learned that a tumor was found near her pineal... :(<br /> <br /> Obviously, we cannot and should not diagnose ANYTHING, but small talk can go a long way.<br /> <br /> Now, it's time to treat the misfiring wheel. Initiate Reiki as per how you were instructed. Placing your dominant hand over the chakra, make three clockwise 'opening' gestures. Imagine that you are opening up a jar. Apply Reiki to the affected region until you know it has had its fill. You practitioners know what I am talking about.<br /> <br /> Then close it with three counterclockwise gestures. Do -not- forget this. If more than one demands treatment, open, treat, close, then move to the next one.<br /> <br /> Hover the pendulum over the chakra(s) treated and compare the present movement with the previous. It should be showing that it is fully functioning on par with the rest. If not, and I recall this happening to me only twice, give it a few minutes and repeat. This will correct their chakras for the time being, but if they do not make corrections in the circumstances that originated the problem in the chakra, it will soon fall back into a malfunctioning state. You can needs follow-ups, but push for self-correction.<br /> <br /> When working with the chakras, expect responses. I recall of no person that, when having their Anahata treated, did not break down into tears.<br /> <br /> Once all chakras have been closed and re-dowsed, I usually finish up with a sweep and a general dose of Reiki throughout their entire body.
