This Shoden material and the accompanying URR Gakkai Techniques are a few excerpts from Japanese teacher Hiroshi Dois Gendai Reiki Shoden class. The material was first presented at the Vancouver 1999 URRI conference I hosted, and then the following conferences from 2000 to 2003.)

Byosen Reikan-ho

Purpose: Healing by way of feeling a resonance or hand sensation.

When a person has a disease, you can feel something transmitted from the source of the disease. This is called "Byosen". What you feel as Byosen varies depending on the type, severity and status of the disease, and from person to person. But some samples are: sensations of something moving, pulsating, or piercing, or of a bug crawling, biting or of pain, numbness, heat, coldness, tickling, tingling, etc. The sensation you have in your hands is called " Hibiki" or "Resonance" and by it you can learn to judge the cause of the disease, the status of it and the time it will take to heal. As long as a person has a disease (even if the person is not aware of it), there never fails to be a byosen. So if you are careful enough to detect the byosen, it is possible to treat the disease a couple of days before it actually shows up. Also there could be a byosen in people who are said to have recovered completely from his/her disease. If you get rid of the byosen in these cases, you can prevent the disease from developing again. A byosen could show up in the obvious problem area but also could be sensed in areas different from the problem area. For example, the byosen for stomach disease often shows up in ones forehead; for roundworm it can show up under ones nose; for liver problems it can show up in the eyes, etc.

Method:
1. The recipient can be seated or lying on a massage table, or on a mat on the floor. 2. Gassho, and call Reiki to yourself. (this may be done by extending your hands and arms upwards, bringing in the Reiki light).

Gassho

Connect to Reiki

3. Mr. Doi suggests that you perform Aura Cleansing before a Reiki treatment, however, this is not part of the traditional URR Gakkai method. 4. You place your hands on the basic Western Reiki hand positions until you develop your sensory power of your hands. You may also simply perform the 5 original Usui head positions. 5. Once you develop byosen (the ability to feel a special sensation from the problem area of the body), practice your healing using the following procedure. 6. First put your hands (one hand or two) on or above the body and move them around scanning the whole body. Hold your hands where you feel the strongest hibiki or sensation of pain, heat, coolness, vibration or numbness. The part is often different from where the symptom is. It takes experience to judge the sensation.

Begin with 2 hands ...

... or 1 hand, and ...

scan downwards until you notice strong hibiki.

7. The hibiki gradually increases until it reaches its peak then starts to subside. That makes "one pass" or "one cycle". You should at least hold your hands for one cycle. As it repeats it's cycle, the peak of hibiki will decrease. 8. Move your hands to the next byosen and repeat .

9. You are finished when there are no more points of hibiki. When treating oneself, this is usually when your hands simply flow down to your lap.

10. Mr. Doi suggests that you perform Aura Cleansing after a Reiki treatment, however, this is not part of the traditional URR Gakkai method. 11. Gassho and finish. Shake your wrists well. Revive the recipient.

Comments:
At first, the ability to sense Byosen differs depending on individuals but as you practice healing others anyone can develop the ability gradually. In the Usui Reik Ryoho Gakkai, this technique is taught once a person has begun their Reiki training. Usually the average person at this point has an energy rating of 6 (on a scale of 6 to 1, 1 being the highest). Once this technique is taught, your energy rating is at 5. Usui-sensei rated himself as 2 in the hopes that one of his students would surpass his abilities. To this day, out of respect for Sensei, no one is ever rated higher than 3. Once this technique is mastered, you are taught Reiji-ho and your rating increases to a 4. Upon mastering Reij--ho, you are rated a 3 and are allowed to have Okuden training.
