Reiki Technique: Byosen Scanning
Mikao Usui used Byosen Scanning to detect disrupted energy. This technique takes some skill. Skill takes practice. Chujiro Hayashi developed the Hand Positions which covers the entire body for treatment. Basically scanning is used to feel the different temps and quality of energy in the body. Usually when we slowly sweep our hands over an area that has stress you may feel a strong hot or cold in that area.
Below is a very good demonstration of Scanning. It is called Aura scanning here.
In Reiki we do not interpret or diagnose, prescribe or even suggest someone has an illness. But it is a helpful technique for sensing different qualities of energy. When we find a spot that feels different we may want to begin treatment there or spend more time on that area. Many times the energy will balance out and the strong sense of heat or cold will subside signaling to move onto another spot.
We best hold an image of perfection in all that we approach with Reiki. Seeing a person as ill or dis-eased will not help. The Reiki state is a state of being. Letting go of the outcome allows the natural intelligence to do it's work as the body comes into balance. Less is more in Reiki. Let go of control, soften your hands, relax your shoulders and practice your mindfulness and a relaxing breath. It is not of your doing this healing within the recipient. The healing is within them.
Always see the highest potential in yourself and others.
