Many of the Reiki practitioners are faced with a dilemma when a client knocks at their door. The reason is because the client may have high expectations regarding the results of the Reiki treatments and also regarding the ability of the Reiki practitioner to diagnose the client health problems.

Initially the practitioner is happy to see that there are open mind people out there who are willing to try these wonderful and full of promise energy type of work. Than when the client comes in trouble is in the air.

The following are 5 steps that a Reiki practitioner can follow in order to properly diagnose a client health problems:

1. Create a comprehensive intake form and ask your client to answer to all the questions. The intake form should contain at least the following:

   - Information about the client (name, date of birth, age, gender, home address, telephone numbers, e-mail address, emergency contact name, how did he found about your services, family physician name and contact numbers, other health care providers, their name and telephone number)

   - A section that will ask the client to list in the order of importance their chief health issues.

   - A section that will ask the client to describe other therapies that he/she tried to resolve the issue

   - A section about the client medical history (state of health, current medications, any type of abuse)

   - Lifestyle and Environment (occupation, hobbies, stress factors, the emotional home climate)

2. Discuss the completed intake form with your client and try to understand as much as you can about his/her health issues. Mark the medical terminology that you do not understand so you can research it later. Also write anything that your intuition might tell you about your client.
3. Here is the point where many therapists may be tempted to do a Byosen scanning (for those who do not know the term, Byosen is a technique where the therapist is using his/her hands to feel the client energy and energy field). From my experience it is better to first start a general Reiki treatment session with the client and then during the session to feel the trouble spots than scanning their energy field before the session. The reason is that it takes some time to tune your senses to the vibration of the client energy field. Tuning to the client energy field happens automatically during the treatment session. Start the Reiki session, calm your mind and try to feel the sensations in your palms. These sensations are very important for the therapist. They will give us clues about what is going on in that area of their body and in their energy field. Make sure that you write down in your client’s file the body areas and the type of sensations that you felt. Also ask the client to be aware of what he/she feels during the Reiki session (any physical sensations, emotions and thoughts) and encourage them to share that information with you. These sensations and associations will give the therapist clues about what is affected, what needs work and maybe even an idea about the root of the problems.
4. At the end of the session discuss with the client what you’ve noticed. Many times they will confirm that the trouble spots that you’ve discovered during the session are areas where they usually experience physical pain, unpleasant feelings and emotions. Use all the information that you’ve gathered to build a treatment plan.
5. On top of all these 4 steps at our clinic I also offer to my clients the opportunity to get a complete health scanning (physical / energy field / chakras) from my Reiki teacher who is extremely gifted. I use a recent picture of the client and send it to my teacher (who is in another country), the name of the person and the date of birth and in 2-3 weeks (depending on the waiting list) I get a picture so clear about the health of the client. Every single client who had a health scanning done was more than impressed with the accuracy of the reading. I can only tell you that once you add this 5^th step, the work of the Reiki therapist is much easier.
