Method:

1. Place one hand on the forehead and the other on the back of the head. Transmit the pure message through the hand on the forehead for one to two minutes. (The message or affirmation could be to improve the personality, correct bad habits, etc.)

 
2. Remove your hand on the forehead but keep the other hand on the back of the head for more than 5 minutes and give Reiki. While giving Reiki, no message should be transmitted.

 
3. You can use this technique for yourself or others. When you do it for others, make sure the message given is what the person wants. It is better and more effective to exercise short ones many times rather than giving a long one.

Comments:

While it is not specified here, it is assumed that as an Okuden practitioner, in Step 2 you are adding to the Reiki energy, the additional energies received in Okuden: Koki:  Focus, Harmony, and the Connection energy as well. In the West these relate to Power, Mental/Emotional and Distant symbols. An advanced Okuden or a Shinpiden may be able to integrate all 3 energies (see Shinpiden section).
