Byosen Reikan Ho - Aura Scaning Method

The method of scaning and sensing imbalances with your hands.

The words Byosen Reikan describes the energy of a disease. It can be detected with your hands and will vary depending on the severity and condition of the disease and also from person to person. Byosen Reikan literally means energy sensation of sickness (imbalance/disease). "Byo" in japaniese means disease, sickness; and "Sen" means before, ahead, previous, future, precedence, "Rei" means energy, soul, spirit; and "kan" means emotion, feeling, sensation."Ho" in japaniese means method.This is an original technique that been taught by Mikao Usui, which can be done on yourself or others.

The true Byosen Reikan-ho method, as Dr. Usui learned and taught it, does not exist in our modern era simplyfied Reiki. The methods of treating we learn, teach and perform now is far from the original, but it can still be performed. The original method has been lost in part due to the creation of the many modern, simplyfied or so called western forms of reiki.Also because individual healers tend to add their own techniques into Byosen Reikan-ho. Below is a description of aura scanning , as close to the original technique as possible.The similar if not the same techniques are also is used in Prana Healing and other energy work modalitys.This is a shorter and more direct way of treating person - performing a scan before the treatment.And directing the Reiki energy only in particular place of imbalance, were its needed at that time.Byosen is not a diagnostic technique as such, rather is a method of locating and treating the source of illness in the human energie field - aura.

When detecting a Byosen you will feel sensations such as tingling, tickling, pulsating, or piercing, biting, pain, numbness, heat, cold and so forth; these sensations in japaniese are called 'Hibiki' or resonance. Your arms may ache clear up to your shoulders in extreme cases. Whenever disease is present there will be a Byosen, even when the client is unaware of a physical condition. If you sense a Byosen in someone's body and will continue work until it disappears, the related disease (or potential disease) will either completely heal or never manifest on the physical level.
It's important to know that the Byosen may show up in a place, which is obvious - close or at the diseased part, or sometimes somewhere else that may seem completely unrelated. Here are a few examples of Byosen which show up in unrelated places: stomach disease often shows up in the forehead, roundworm under the nose, liver problems in the eyes and so on.

The ability to sense a Byosen will vary greatly from person to person. Some students will readily detect it and others will take time to develop this ability. Anyone can develop the ability to detect Byosen with regular practise, just by doing daily Reiki hands-on treatments on themselves and others. Once you can sense a Byosen do the following technique:

How to perform the technique:

1. Sit or stand comfortably next to the person that will be treated.
2. Put hand in Gassho, calm the mind and say to yourself, "Now I begin Byosen Reikan-Ho" (or simply "I begin scanning now.") and rub your hands to start the process.So that your hand become more sensitive and aware of the subtle sensations.
3. Place your hands on or slightly above the body, move them slowly around and notice differend sensations.Try to look for the areas where you feel something different from the overall general sensation like heat, cold, tingling, pulsing, pain or an absence of sensation.
4. When you start sensing Hibiki, hold your hands over that area. The Hibiki will increase (sometimes after a period of time and sometimes immediatly) and then decrease gradualy.This is one cycle, which will repeat as long as your hands are on the body. The longer you hold your hands over a spot the more cycles you will feel; with each cycle, the peak of the Hibiki diminishes slightly.Which means that the healing and balansing starting to take place. Keep your hands over the Hibiki for a minimum of one cycle or more if possible.
5. Than move your hands to the next Byosen and again start sensing Hibiki and keep your hand there for minimum of one cycle.
6. When you have completed scanning the entire body, finish by sweeping the recipient's aura with your hands and flick off the energy from your hands. Then rub your hands and say "Byosen off" or "scanning off/ finish".
