Poweful Reiki Symbols

Reiki symbols are special to the reiki practitioner such that it brings with the power that is represented by the symbol. For a long time these powerful Reiki symbols were kept secret and only handed down from the Reiki Master to the Reiki Practitioner in Reiki 2. However, now a days reiki symbols are widely available on the Internet and anyone can view it.

Different tests have shown that the Raiki symbols do not carry any special powers on their own rather it is the Reiki Initiation that gives it its power, they still carry the ancient energy within it that becomes "usable" with the Reiki Initiation.

Reiki symbols work in the same way as sacred mantra or chants. They carry within them the energy of hundreds of years of devotion and focus. Understanding is not necessary for the power to work. Reiki symbols go beyond the preconceived notions of possible and impossible and helps the Reiki Practitioner to bring about the healing and the client to experience the result. The symbols add power to the already initiated practitioner.

When the Reiki Master performs the attunement and shows the symbols to the student (before graduating to the Reiki Practitioner level or Reiki 2 level), the Reiki Symbol is impressed on the students mind and helps him experience (if not so much understand) the inner meaning of the symbols. Similarly, when the Reiki Practitioner draws a symbol, or visualizes on it, it brings about similar results. Since Reiki is all about being one or in alignment with the Universal life force and using that energy to bring about healing, the Reiki Symbols allow the Practitioner to go beyond the logical mind and experience this Oneness.

Three Reiki symbols

As Reiki became popular in the last hundred years or so, many masters have appeared, and introduced their own symbols along with it. In the traditional Japanese Reiki, however, there are three Reiki Symbols that the student receives during the Reiki 2 initiation (attunement).

1. Cho Ku Rei (The Power Symbol) The power symbol is reserved specifically for healing the physical body. A reiki healing session can very well be performed without it but when used it supercharges the energy healing.

2. Sei He Ki (The Mental and Emotional Symbol) The mental/emotional symbol is used for healing and purifying the mind. All diseases have their origins in the subconscious mind. This symbol works on the mental plane to bring about healing. This symbol is used for healing and improving relationship problems with Reiki, to clear a room from negative energy, or if during a Reiki Healing session the client experiences major emotional release this is used to clear it.

3. Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (The Distance Symbol) This powerful reiki symbol goes across time and space and heal issues from past, future or even other life times. When seen from beyond our limited perspective of the five senses, 3 dimensions of space and 1 of time dissolves away (in fact it dissolves away also in the laboratory of high speed physicist or quantum physicist) and we enter a realm of a-causal, non locality where past-present-future exists simply as the eternal now. Using this symbol allows the Reiki Practitioner to enter that state and bring about healing across time and space.
