Those are good.
Gassho for cultivating feelings of gratitude and connection.
Reiji Ho is good, but often difficult to do on oneself. It's kind of human nature to hide the places where you need something these days so often our minds get in the way when "scanning" ourselves for places where healing is needed.
My practice is not so different. Allthough I do start with a meditative period in which I try to keep my attention with my Hara (seika tanden) before I close my eyes and perform gassho. When I am in Gassho I chant the Usui principles. In japanese these days, But did them in dutch and english before..
Just to keep them in mind and feel what comes up..
As for the handpositions. It seems that Usui only had "fixed" positions for the head. and then scanned the rest of the body where his hands were drawn to. Which could account for some of the buddhist and shinto roots of thinking about dis-ease.
