Consciously sensing your hands
Today is not yet about wanting to prove Reiki. Today is only about consciously sensing your hands again. Many people use their hands all day long, but hardly notice them. This is exactly where we begin: very simply, very calmly, without pressure to perform.

Sit comfortably. You do not have to sit especially straight or especially spiritually. What matters is only that you can stay for a few minutes without constantly having to rearrange yourself.
Place both hands loosely on your thighs. The palms may face downward. Close your eyes if that feels good. If you prefer to keep your eyes open, let your gaze rest softly on one point in front of you.
Breathe out calmly a few times. You do not have to change your breath. Let it simply come and go.
Now let your attention move into your hands. Do not think about them, but really arrive there. Do you sense the whole hand or only individual areas? Are the fingertips clear? Do you sense the heels of the hands? Is there a difference between right and left?
Stay with this for three minutes. If thoughts come, that is normal. Then simply say inwardly: "I return to my hands."
Perhaps you notice warmth. Perhaps coolness. Perhaps a slight pulsing, tingling, heaviness or lightness. Perhaps at first you sense almost nothing. That too is completely all right.
What matters is this: today you are not looking for a big experience. You are only learning to listen more closely. Perception becomes stronger when it is invited kindly.
Slowly open your eyes. Move your fingers a little. Ask yourself: How do my hands feel now compared with before?
Your answer belongs in your personal Reiki journal. It grows with every day and stays with you alone.
Practice several times a day
Once you are signed up, single days become a path: your progress is saved, your journal is kept, and the attunement days open at the right time.
