For Reiki practitioners and teachers attuned to Reiki level II:

• When you wake up, spend a few minutes in solitude and sit down.
• Sip some water and sit in the lotus position or on a chair comfortably.
• Sit upright and place your palms facing the sky on your thighs.
• For self-protection, draw the Cho Ku Rei symbol on your hands with your fingers.
• Raise your hands in the air and make a protective circle around yourself, chanting Cho Ku Rei as many times as you feel.
• You will be guided and know when you have to stop intuitively.

Some of the most common and important steps that you must also take are:

• Wash your hands at least for 10 – 20 seconds with a handwash throughout the day. Maintain personal hygiene.
