I have done some extensive research regarding the subject of meditation and found that there is a clear similarity between most ancient forms of this art. The most consistent similarity is concentration. The action of concentration is as follows:
-Holding an image in the mind with clear focus for an extended period of time [this is the creative tool].
I believe that Reiki would include the art of touch and teaches certain hand positions to help increase concentration and flow. Other art forms however, do not rely on specific hand positions but rather, they state that constant body movements and even background music may interfere with stillness of heart [stillness of mind and thought].
Nevertheless, there seems to be a common theme that suggests that concentration/focus is the key to success in whatever we choose to do, no matter how wild the idea may appear to be.
