Reiki option details

Kenyoku Hō

Dry-bathing preparation technique

Kenyoku Hō, often translated as a dry-bathing technique, uses a short sequence of sweeping movements across the torso and arms. It should be taught as a traditional practice, adapted for mobility, and not presented as physical cleansing or medical treatment.
