Energy healing practices have been used for centuries to help people restore balance and achieve deep states of well-being. Among the many Reiki techniques, the Boysen Scan is a lesser-known but highly effective method that allows practitioners to sense and understand energy imbalances in the body. At Reiking Sunshine, I use Reiki not just as a healing modality but as a transformational experience that aligns the mind, body, and spirit.
In this post, we’ll explore what the Boysen Scan is, how it works within a Reiki session, and how you can use it to enhance your healing practice. Whether you’re a Reiki practitioner or someone seeking a deep energetic reset, this technique can help you achieve profound healing.
What Is the Boysen Scan?
The Boysen Scan is an energetic scanning technique developed by Reiki Master teacher William Lee Rand. It is used in Usui Reiki to identify areas in the body that need extra attention and healing. This practice involves slowly moving the hands over a person’s aura or body, sensing energetic shifts, and directing Reiki to where it is most needed.
This scanning method enhances the intuitive aspect of Reiki, allowing practitioners to refine their ability to feel energy imbalances such as:
Hot spots (indicating energy congestion or overactivity)
Cold spots (suggesting energy depletion)
Tingling or pressure (which can signal blockages or areas needing extra care)
By developing sensitivity to these energetic cues, Reiki healers can offer more precise, intentional healing rather than relying solely on standard hand positions.
The Boysen Scan and Reiki: A Perfect Synergy
The Boysen Scan is most effective when combined with a full Reiki session. Here’s how it fits into the Reiking Sunshine healing process:
1. Grounding and Centering the Practitioner Before starting a Boysen Scan, I always encourage clients to take a moment to ground themselves. Whether through deep breathing, visualization, or meditation, grounding creates a clear channel for energy flow. As a Reiki Master, I also ground myself before scanning to ensure that I am fully present and attuned to the universal life force energy (Ki or Chi).
2. Scanning for Energy Imbalances During the scan, I gently hover my hands over the body, starting from the head and moving toward the feet. I take my time, noting any heat, coolness, tingling, or resistance that might indicate energetic shifts. Since everyone’s energy field is unique, some clients experience immediate sensations like warmth or tingling, while others may feel subtle shifts during or after the session.
3. Directing Reiki Energy to Areas of Need Once the scan reveals energetic blockages, I guide Reiki energy to those areas using intention, symbols, and hand placements. By working intuitively, I ensure that each session is personalized and supports the client’s unique healing journey.
4. Integrating the Healing Experience After a Reiki session, I recommend taking a few moments for integration, drinking water, journaling about the experience, or using grounding techniques like walking barefoot or deep breathing. This helps clients fully absorb the energy shift and maintain balance.
The Benefits of the Boysen Scan with Reiki
Incorporating the Boysen Scan into a Reiki session offers numerous benefits, including:
1. Heightened Intuition and Energy Awareness. For Reiki practitioners, the Boysen Scan sharpens intuitive abilities by helping you sense energy changes without physical touch. This can lead to deeper energetic insights and a stronger connection to your clients.
2. More Targeted Healing Rather than using a one-size-fits-all Reiki approach, the Boysen Scan allows for customized healing. By identifying specific energy imbalances, practitioners can provide focused support where it’s needed most.
3. Deep Emotional and Physical Healing Since energy imbalances often correlate with emotional or physical stress, scanning can uncover deep-seated issues that may not be immediately apparent. This can facilitate profound emotional release and support long-term well-being.
4. A Non-Invasive, Gentle Healing Approach One of the most beautiful aspects of Reiki, and especially the Boysen Scan, is that it is non-invasive. There’s no physical manipulation—just gentle energetic alignment that works in harmony with the body’s natural healing process. Who Can Benefit from the Boysen Scan?
The Boysen Scan is a valuable tool for:
Reiki Practitioners: Those who want to deepen their intuitive healing abilities Energy Healers: Practitioners from various modalities (e.g., sound healing, chakra work) who want to refine their ability to detect energy blockages
