Sai Ram. I am visiting this page after more than an year to see whether any changes are needed.
I made a request in 2007 that this can be made a sticky topic so that it stays at the top of the forum! And it was done almost immediately thanks to Reiki acting through the Adminstrator Aroon! Thanks to Reiki and to Aroon!
I am giving below a simple procedure for receiving Reiki when ever and where ever you are located without a specific request being made in the forum and without waiting for a specific response. Thus it is always available. Sai Ram.
Procedure:
1) Sit down or if you prefer lie down so that in case you relax or go to sleep, it will be OK. If you are in office, choose a time where you will not be disturbed (alert your colleagues and or boss that you will need a few minutes of privacy for healing). Switch off your mobile phone etc. so that you are not disturbed.
2) Put on some soothing relaxing music, devotional or otherwise. Music has a tremendous effect on our minds. So, if you listen to soothing calming music you will feel relaxed and are thus better prepared. If this step is not possible, don't worry. Go ahead without music.
3) Light some incense or agar bathies or dhoop sticks or use some fragrant flowers to help you relax. Rub a few drops of a good aromatic essential oil like sandalwood or your own favorite perfume to help you relax. Again, if the circumstances don't allow you this step and or you are allergic, don't worry!
4) Do deep and slow breathing and relax. This step is very important and you can and should do it where ever you are!
5) If you are religious, pray to your favorite God, Saint or Guru. Use the mantra given to you by your Guru and if you don't have one, use Sai Ram. Pronounced as Saayee Raam, it is a beautiful mantra. Here is a link for you from where you can download it and listen to it 108 times! 108 is a very sacred number.

If you are not comfortable with religion and mantras etc., skip this step.
Don't feel guilty! Relax!
6) Request mentally Reiki to start flowing through you (or through you to a person for whom you are requesting Reiki) and heal you (or the person for whom you are asking). Set a time limit if needed (esp. if you are in office or have some other chores pending). Relax and allow the Reiki to flow through and enjoy the sensations if any. Don't bother if you don't feel any sensations. Reiki is still flowing through you. If it is essential in your healing that you should be aware of it flowing, Reiki will ensure that you feel it in course of time! But basically remember that the more you relax, more Reiki will flow through you.
Relaxing involves faith, trust and letting go. Hand over your problems and stresses to Reiki (the Universal Energy), which is intelligent and knows what you need (not necessarily same as what you want). Relax. 7) If you are already attuned to level 1 or level 2 of Reiki, place your palms at the locations that you are drawn to. Use the symbols if you remember them and feel like using them, and don't worry if you don't feel like it. Relax!

At the end of the session (when the time is up or when you wake up from a deep sleep!), thank Reiki and all Reiki Masters who made this possible.
