Reiki Symbols - Healing Yourself And Others With Reiki Energy
Reiki Symbols are handed down from Reiki Master to Reiki Master. The symbols are used for attuning other initiates into Reiki and, more importantly, Reiki practicioners use them for healing and protection. One of the simplest and most effective uses of the Reiki and it's symbols is Stress Relief - either your own stress or others.
Using Reiki energy and the symbols is a powerful and effective method of :
reducing stress; promoting relaxation; promoting emotional and mental well-being;
Reiki Symbols are a means of focusing your attention in order to connect with "specific" healing frequencies. While some teach that the symbols can only be activated in using certain techniques, others teach that they can be activated in many ways. For example, some teach that they can be activated by drawing the symbols with the hand, simply by visualizing them, or even by saying the name of the symbol either out loud or to oneself.
To use the Reiki Symbols, the student must undergo a Reiki Attunement (some call it Reiki Empowerment, the terms are interchangeable really). The Reiki Attunement is a pleasurable experience that normally happens during a Reiki Class or Course although some Master Practicioners have developed Reiki Courses that enable you to be attuned and to use the symbols in your own home, with no-one else in attendance, not having to attend any class at all.
Traditionally, in the West at least, the symbols have been kept secret and sacred. In Japan though it's not uncommon to see the symbols displayed in public places.
To use the symbols and Reiki in general you don't have to spend years practicing meditation or have any spiritual learning at all. All you need is to be attuned to the correct level and you're ready to go.
You can be up and running and healing yourself and others with Reiki energy and Reiki Symbols very quickly indeed.
