WHAT ARE REIKI SYMBOLS?

Reiki symbols which are generally considered sacred are an essential and interesting part of Reiki practice. They originate from Japanese Kanji and are basically words from the Japanese language which help improve the flow of Life Force energy.

The three important symbols given to a student during Level 2 attunement are Cho Ku Rei or the power symbol, Sei He Ki or the emotional and mental healing symbol, and Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen or the distance healing symbol.

ATTUNEMENT NECESSARY FOR SYMBOLS TO WORK

The symbols have no real power without attunement (or initiation) – therefore the attunement plays a vital role in giving power to the symbols so that they can accomplish their anticipated purpose. The Reiki Master usually shows them to the student before the attunement and gives the student time to memorize them.

During the attunement process, the energies of each symbol enter the mind of the student and connect themselves to the appropriate symbol. The symbols are also placed in the student’s aura. Thus, after attunement when the symbol is invoked, the energies that have been connected previously are activated and the flow of energy is adjusted accordingly.

HOW TO USE REIKI SYMBOLS?

They can be activated by drawing them with the hand in the air, by visualizing them in your mind, by pronouncing their names loudly or to oneself, or even just by thinking about them. For some advanced practitioners, they get activated automatically whenever they are needed during a session.

Different masters draw symbols differently. What’s important is the intention of the practitioner when invoking them.

REIKI SYMBOLS FOR ADVANCED PRACTITIONERS

During the Level 2 (Advanced) Attunement, three symbols are given to the student. They are briefly described below.

Cho Ku Rei or Power Symbol

Increases the power of the energy flow. It can be used anytime during a session. Many practitioners use it in the beginning to get a “power boost”, and in the end to seal the healing energies.

Other uses of this symbol:

Provide protection on all levels (physical, verbal or emotional confrontation, psychic attack, etc).
Beneficial for spot treatment: using this symbol help direct Reiki energy to a particular spot that requires healing.
Helps create a positive atmosphere by clearing away all negative energies.
Provide power to other Reiki symbols when drawn before and/or after them.

Aid in healing addictions such as smoking, alcohol or drugs.

Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen or the Distance Healing Symbol

Dai Ko Myo or the “Master” Symbol

The Dai Ko Myo is the symbol with the highest vibration and is therefore most transformative at the spiritual level. Using this symbol helps enhance the healing of the soul as the energies are sent to the more subtle layers of the aura and upper chakras. When the spiritual soul is healed, the mental and physical get healed automatically. The Dai Ko Myo symbol also helps heal our karma. Known as “all purpose healing” symbol and “empowerment” symbol, this Reiki symbol represents all that is Reiki, including personal empowerment and love.

This symbol can be used to :

To open channels during Reiki attunement and attune those who want to become Reiki practitioners.
Helps enhance the connection between the practitioner and universal energies and helps heal the soul.
Heals the chakras, the aura and any disease that initiates from our subconscious beliefs.
Helps provide enlightenment and become more psychic and intuitive.

Midas Star or Abundance and Prosperity Symbol

Midas Star is a prosperity symbol, which is taught in Seichem Reiki or Karuna Ki. Midas Star is commonly known as prosperity symbol, but prosperity just does not mean money, it also means to bring about success in inter personal relations, luck and harmony to us and people around us. It brings around changes in all walks of life wherever there are blocks and helps us achieving our goals.

Rama Symbol

Rama symbol is one of the symbols of Karuna Reiki. It means God or Lord Rama. This symbol has two right ticks on tight side and left side. There is a spiral in the middle. The two right ticks are considered to be male and female energy. The spiral in between these two right ticks represents the bonding between male and female energy.

Motor Zanon

Motor Zanon originally a part of Seichem Reiki, it is also taught in a Karuna Ki and is similar to Usui Master Symbol. Motor Zanon is made up of 2 words Motor which goes inside our body and Zanon which comes out. The symbol separates the virus from our body and brings it out.

CONNECTION

Reiki symbols play a significant role during a Reiki session. Using them not only helps channelling and focusing the energy, but also invoke feelings of peace, love, tranquillity, or even courage.

Using these symbols is a beautiful and wonderful way to create a connection or link with the higher consciousness. Their power and effectiveness is given to us by Grace, and most practitioners agree that we should receive them humbly and gratefully, as a gift from the Creator.
