The Gassho Meditation ( Time 5-20 Minutes a Day)


• Sit down, close your eyes and place hands together in front of your chest (prayer
position).
• Focus your attention at the point where the two middle fingers meet.
• Let go of everything else. If your mind wanders, acknowledge the thought, let it
go and just
refocus returning to the point where your middle fingers meet.
• Repeat the five reiki principles either aloud or internally.
• If you find it uncomfortable to hold your hands in Gassho for 5-20 minutes,
simply let your
hands (kept together) slowly drop down onto your lap finding a more comfortable
position to
continue the meditation.
• You may observe energy in the form of heat, cold or images, just let it go and
return your
focal point to the tips of your two middle fingers.
• If you need to adjust your posture; move slowly, deliberately and consciously. It
is easier and
better to meditate with a straight spinal column, keeping your head still.
• If you suffer from back problems or find it difficult to sit still; try sitting on a
straight back
chair with a few pillows for comfort.
.• Alternatively, you can sit on the floor on a few cushions with your back against a
wall. You could even meditate while lying down or a sofa or bed.
