The four head positions on others
The four head positions with others
Treating the head belongs to the finest and at the same time most sensitive areas in Reiki on other people. At the head, you do not only physically touch a particularly personal space. You also approach an area in which many people immediately react with alertness, closeness or uncertainty. Precisely for this reason, the head positions need calm, clarity and mindfulness.
The four classic head positions are not a random sequence. They help treat forehead, eye area, temples, back of the head and mental tension calmly. For many people, the head is a place of overload: thinking, worries, sleep problems, overstimulation, head pressure or inner unrest. Reiki at these positions can be very soothing here.
Why the head requires special mindfulness
Not every person immediately likes being touched on the head. Some relax quickly, others react sensitively. That is why a calm introduction is important. If needed, briefly say that you are now going to the head. This avoids surprise and gives the other person the possibility to adjust inwardly.
Your hands themselves should also be especially calm here. The head forgives haste less than other areas of the body.
The four positions in their meaning
Forehead/eye area: This position often calms the mind immediately and helps with circling thoughts or inner pressure.
Temples/side of the head: Here tension, overwhelm or sensory overstimulation can become noticeably softer.
Back of the head: This position often works more deeply than it first seems. It frequently brings calm into the whole upper area.
Combination front/back: When one hand works in front and one behind, a particularly balanced calming often arises.
You do not have to treat these positions like technical switches. What matters is how calm you remain and whether the other person feels safe under your hands.
What to pay attention to practically
The hands should rest softly or be held very close if direct touch is not appropriate. Avoid pressure on eyes, ears or sensitive places. Also pay attention to your own posture. If you stand tensely at the head, this is easily transmitted.
An example: You treat someone who is mentally very exhausted and at the same time inwardly tense. Already at the first forehead position you sense that the breath becomes deeper. Then stay calmly there longer instead of moving on too quickly. The quality of the treatment arises not only through sequence, but through timing.
The head is not everything
Especially with other people, it is important not to look at the head in isolation. Many complaints in the head are connected with the overall state. Inner unrest often also sits in the solar plexus. Sleep problems concern not only the forehead, but also heart and belly. Therefore the head positions are strong, but rarely sufficient on their own for an entire treatment.
So if you feel a lot at the head, remember it, but do not lose sight of the whole person.
Byosen at the head
At the head, Byosen often shows itself as warmth, pulsing, fine tension, unrest or a feeling that the hands are being more strongly "held" there. Especially here it is important not to interpret anything into it. Perceive, stay longer if it feels coherent, and trust that Reiki is working where it is needed.
Practical examples
With circling thoughts: Treat forehead and back of the head especially carefully
With overstimulation: Hold side head positions and back of the head calmly
With sleep problems: Combine head positions with heart and belly
When someone reacts sensitively to touch: Hold hands slightly lifted or guide them with even more gentleness
Treating the head positions with others means entering a very personal space with calm. If you succeed in this, Reiki often becomes directly perceptible there: as centering, as softening or as a quiet inner withdrawal from the excess of thinking.
Your answer belongs in your personal Reiki journal. It grows with every day and stays with you alone.
