The practice
Jikiden Reiki shares the fundamental mechanism proposed for all Reiki forms — the practitioner channels healing energy ('Reiki') through the hands to the recipient. The distinguishing feature is Byosen scanning: practitioners develop sensitivity to detect areas of energetic disturbance through tingling, pulsing, or heat sensations in their hands. Treatment focuses on areas where Byosen is detected. The scientific mechanism remains unestablished; proposed explanations include biofield interactions and relaxation response activation.
