But since you’re already here, I invite you to try the Gasshō meditation.

Gasshō literally means “two hands coming together.” It marks the beginning of every meditative practice in Reiki — the so-called prayer position. Gasshō meditation was traditionally taught in the Usui system and helps bring more focus and clarity into one’s life. It also reminds us of the state of non-duality — the understanding that there is no separation between us and the energy we work with.

By practicing Gasshō, we invite more gratitude and reverence into our daily life, becoming more present in each moment. It also helps calm the constant stream of thoughts.
Usui instructed his students to practice this meditation every morning and evening. Try to include it in your routine  — let it become part of your rhythm.  

Below, you’ll find instructions on how to practice Gasshō.
