In a Reiki Practitioner’s words:
“I clear my countenance and drop into my Heart. I then go through a four-step formula composed of three symbols to connect with the energetic essence of the person receiving Reiki energy. Out loud or silently, I invite the person’s energetic essence to come between my hands. I then hold that person’s energetic essence between my hands and say out loud: ‘May this person be filled with Reiki energy for their highest healing good.’
