In many Japanese
Spiritual and Healing traditions, each hand has specific significance
in both a symbolic and energetic sense:
The
Right hand connects with the Dynamic, with Power, with the Sun.
The Left hand connects with the Passive, with Healing, with the
Moon.
In
therapeutic intervention, where (sei)ki is actually projected
to or around the patient, it is frequently projected from
the right hand - the hand of power - to the open left hand,
and from there, deflected to the patient, the seiki being
directed & focussed by the left hand (much as a concave mirror
can be used to focus a candle's flame).
