Hatsurai Ho Meditation Technique

Today I am going to share with you a very important Reiki technique which is known as the Hatsurai ho Meditation technique. It helps you to become a powerful Reiki healer. It helps you to connect with Reiki and open up the channels and pathways in your body through which the Reiki energy passes.

Now let's understand the meaning of Hansurai ho

• Hatsu Means to bring forth something 
• Rei means spirit 
• Ho means technique or method

The Hansurai ho meditation has slow hand movements and body gestures along with rhythmic breathing. Now let's look at the steps involved in Hansurai ho. 

The Steps involved in Hatsurai Ho Meditation

Step 1

The first step is called Mokunen in Japanese. Here, you need to sit in a comfortable position and place your hands on your lap, with your palms facing the sky. Then close your eyes, invoke Reiki and bring your attention to the Sacral Chakra. Allow yourself to breathe normally and relax the body as much as you can. Then state in you mind that you are now ready to begin Hatsurai ho

Step 2

The next step is called Kenyoku in Japan and it means Dry Bathing. To do this, take a deep breath and slowly move your right hand towards the left shoulder. Then as you exhale, heal your left hand with your right hand. Then take another deep breath. Slowly move your felt hand to your right shoulder. Then as you exhale, heal your right hand with your felt hand. Repeat this procedure two more times.

Then as you inhale, take both your hands above your head, as if you're holding a pot of water on your head. Hold your hands in this position and let the Reiki energy continue to flow through you like a waterfall. Breath normally for a couple of breaths and then put your hands down. 

Step 3

The next step is called Joshin Kokkyu Ho in Japan. In this technique place your hands on your lap with your palms facing the sky, relax and breathe slowly. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth, all the while keeping your attention on the Tanden or Sacral chakra. Imagine and intend that the Reiki energy is touching the Tanden with every incoming breath and spreading in all directions. Reiki spreads into every cell of the body energizing all the cells, tissues, muscles and organs of the body.

Step 4 

The fourth step is known as Gassho in Japan. And this you fold your hands in prayer position and bring you attention to the heart Chakra. Imagine that Reiki energy is flowing through the heart Chakra in all directions and your heart Chakra is expanding and you can feel love, compassion and forgiveness flowing to everyone in your life.

Step 5

The 5th step is known as Seishin Toitsu. Seishin Means a pure mind or spirit. And Toitsu is bringing the mind and body together into the act, into the here and now. In this state your mind and body is completely aligned, focused and concentrated on the task at hand. Here your total attention is in your breathing and the flow of Reiki. This allows your mind to be completely free. Reiki flows through you healing all the energy pathways and energy centres of the body

Step 6 

The step 6 is known as Gokai Sansho in Japan. In this step you recite the Reiki principles in your mind.

Step 8

The next step is again Mukunen. For this you bring your hands back on your lap, palms facing down and you say to yourself that you have completed the Hatsurai ho technique.

You can practice this technique whenever you feel tired or exhausted during the day and I highly recommend you to practice Hatsurai ho technique before you do Reiki healing to someone. 

This is especially beneficial when you are doing Reiki distance healing because this technique will help you energize your body as well as relax and focus your mind for a powerful healing session.
