• If your shoulders hurt or back becomes stiff - you can keep the hands towards your lap or hara chakra
• You can combine this meditation with Gyan Mudra too
• Everytime you inhale imagine every pore takes in positivity, with every exhale imagine or give the intention that reiki takes the negativity and turns it into positivity
• Initially the breath might not be regulated there is no need to worry- it would become better with time.
