Many of those who practice Reiki are strongly attracted to crystals. They have found their first experience of energy and vibrations through Reiki healing crystals. They believe that one can add energy and focus to Reiki self-treatments by placing crystals on the parts of the body you use for hand positions.

Generally, Reiki hand positions correspond to the chakras. The first and second chakras are merged in the pelvic hand position while the third chakra is divided into two areas: the abdominal and solar plexus. Adjust to these differences by placing two dark stones at the base of your feet for grounding. This will help you focus Reiki on your feet and legs.
