Once you have practiced Reiki and have friends that have also been practicing Reiki, you can organize group healings. In group healings the practitioners can unite to give amazing amounts of healing power to the patient. Both patients and practitioners can learn a lot from group healing. It does not require a high level of knowledge about Reiki, but it does require communication and harmony between practitioners.

Group healings can be done in many ways with anywhere between two and ten or more people. The patient should lie down so that all the practitioners can easily reach the surface area of the patient's body. Each practitioner should practice Reiki in the same way they would while giving Reiki to only one person. Like basic palm healing, group healing has infinite possibilities; however, there are some suggested positions.

Even if you only have two people in the group, the healing can be twice as powerful as it would with only one practitioner. One way to give Reiki with two practitioners is to allow one practitioner to give Reiki to the patient's crown chakra while meditating on one's own crown chakras. Meanwhile, a second practitioner gives Reiki to the bottom of the patient's feet when meditating on his or her own hara. Or the second practitioner can give Reiki to the patient's hara while focusing on his or her own hara. Both of these practices connect the Heaven and Earth Ki within the patient's body.

If you have three practitioners in a group, then one practitioner can give Reiki to the patient's crown chakra, another can give Reiki to the patient's Heart chakra, and the last can give Reiki to the patient's hara or feet. While giving Reiki in a group healing, it is important to focus your own attention on the appropriate part of your own body. Therefore, the practitioner that gives Reiki to a patient's crown chakra should focus on the crown chakra of his or her own body or on the patient's body, and so on. Intent is very important. This is because Reiki can heal any part of the patient's body. If the intent is not clear, the two practitioners can give Reiki in opposite directions and cause clashing energies.

If you have a very large group, then every practitioner can work on a different part of the body. The practitioners can rotate and give Reiki for as long or as short as the intuition says is proper. As long as every practitioner keeps his or her mind focused and his or her intent clear, then the patient should feel huge waves of energy. This can be an enlightening experience for all the people involved.
