• Sit in a comfortable position and relax your body & let it be loose.
• Place your hands in prayer position towards your heart chakra-- initially let there be some space between the palms and when feel energy is balanced 
• Hands in prayer position- concentrate on the tips of the middle finger and essentially let go of all throughts
• Breathe in gently/inhale from the nose ( preferably tongue touching the roof palatte of mouth) and exhale through the mouth ( preferably tongue out).

Things to try include while doing gassho meditation-

• Try to keep your eyes closed
• Practice it for 10- 15 min daily preferably after reiki healing- self healing
• Practice doing gassho meditation alongwith the client after reiki healing- healing others
• 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.
• Try and use emotional healing symbol also before the initiation.
