Reiki symbols act as keys that unlock various forms of universal energy.

They help in channeling this energy towards specific goals, whether it’s healing, protection, or spiritual development. Each symbol has a unique vibration and meaning, allowing practitioners to access different aspects of the universal life force energy.

Reiki symbols bridge the gap between our physical reality and the spiritual realms due to their depiction.

How To Access The Unique Energy Of A Reiki Symbol

Attunements — We are all connected to the universal life force energy. The attunement opens us even more to its beneficial flow. It cleanses our energetic structure and raises our vibration, aligning us to the pure, divine light. Each attunement provides access to new Reiki symbols aligned with our current level of vibration.

Activation — Usui Reiki level 1 doesn’t have symbols. Its role is to introduce you to Reiki and help you balance your energetic structure. From Reiki level 2 onward, you start working with Reiki symbols. You activate them by symbolically drawing them on your chakras or affected areas while pronouncing their name 3 times.

Meditation — Not all symbols are part of a Reiki system. And, you don’t have to have the corresponding attunement to work with one. While this is the ideal scenario, you can integrate a symbol’s energy and information through mediation. The more you do this, the more you experiment with it in practice, the more you’ll make it part of your life. This stands true regardless of your attunement level.

Display — You can always print and display Reiki symbols in your room. You can activate them each morning and meditate on their shape and attributes. With time, that display becomes more than a piece of paper. It will be a totem of protection and inspiration, ready to guide you throughout the day.

When Do You Use Reiki Symbols

Self-treatment — This is what the practice of Reiki looks like. Therefore, it only makes sense to use Reiki symbols inside of it. You would usually activate the Reiki symbols before you start. You do so on your chakras, major organs, or add specific Reiki symbols to help dissolve the negative energy within certain areas.

Treatment of Others — Working with others is no different when it comes to Reiki symbols. Here, the element of communication comes into play, and the consent of the other person. Aside from that, the practice looks pretty much the same.

Distance Healing — Once again, the process is similar to working with others. You just have to open the energetic gateway toward that person with Cho Ku Rei + Sei He Ki + Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen. Add Dai Ko Myo for Usui level 3.

Healing Your Past — This is distance healing but for yourself. Open an energetic gateway in front of you with Cho Ku Rei + Sei He Ki + Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen. Add Dai Ko Myo for Usui level 3. Your first goal is to identify the trauma that affects your present. Once you do that, you begin healing it by channeling universal energy no more than 10 minutes, 2 times a week. You want to clear this imbalance, not dislocate your past. So, do it with moderation until you feel that energy has vanished.

There are many ways to use Reiki symbols.

This is actually a never-ending list. The beauty of Reiki is that you can see it as a self-discovery process that only gets better and more in tune with your needs through practice. The more you meditate on a Reiki symbol, the more hidden insights you’ll surface.

That’s how you tailor Reiki to your needs.

Here are some of the most common uses:

  • Enhancing the universal energy flow.
  • Cleansing your food and drinks.
  • Adding a layer of protection on yourself and your objects.
  • Raise your spiritual awareness.
  • Connect to your higher consciousness.

And so on…

Reiki symbols can become reliable allies in your spiritual growth journey.

They are dynamic tools that grow with the individuals. By learning, visualizing, and using Reiki symbols in your practice and day to day life, you can harness immense benefits. Start by connecting with these spiritual tokens regularly and then allow them to guide you toward your greater good.

Enjoy the discovery process more than chasing results.
