Mikao Usui, a Japanese Tendai Buddhist & founder of Usui Reiki Ryoho, originally introduced symbols to Reiki only for those students who could not access and utilize Reiki through practice and dedication alone. He introduced 4 such symbols: DKM, HSZSN, CKR, & SHK.

Like any symbol, they are merely training wheels. As you progress through Reiki, you may actually come to find that using the reiki symbols are no longer necessary.

The symbols themselves are usually held sacred by Reiki practitioners. With that said, many practitioners will not openly divulge them to you – it wouldn’t do much good anyway, if you knew them or not – if you havent been trained in their use. It would be like someone giving you an airplane without you knowing how to fly it. Seek training in Reiki first. Learn how to access and utilize Reiki before digging deeper. Learn to walk before you run.

I would recommend Frank Petters books if you’d like more info. For the most part it is historically accurate (coming from someone who knows Japanese history as well as Japanese culture and Theology). I would also recommend The Reiki Sourcebook – another fairly accurate book on Reiki, not without its flaws.

I would suggest not getting books by Diane Stein or Maureen Kelly. Both of these authors present grossly misleading information presented as fact. If you know your history about Japan and Reiki, you’d know this to be the case (IMHO, these are typical new age versions of Reiki, presenting a lot of not so historically accurate info).

Hope this helps.

Reiki symbols are Japanese symbols. They are actually derived from Sanskrit. Sanskrit is considered to be the mother tongue of all other tongues. It is the tongue of the Vedas, the most ancient written matter known to man. According to the Vedas, Sanskrit is considered as a language of the spirit.

Reiki symbols are sacred healing symbols which enhance the flow of Life Force Energy. They are like keys that open doors to higher levels of awareness and manifestation – Sanskrit-derived Japanese forms. Sanskrit is the mother-tongue of all other languages. Reiki symbols are given to the person that is to be being attuned an imprint takes place linking the image to the energies the symbol represents.

The reiki symbols have their own realization, and it is easy to meditate on them and obtain assistance on how to use Reiki directly from the Reiki symbols themselves. The Reiki symbols are like keys that unlock gates to an advanced mind. The Reiki symbols activate a faith or purpose erected into the signs that helps the user to obtain the outcomes planned. The diverse signs also rapidly join the user to the universal life energy. When a Reiki Preacher does an attunement and demonstrates the Reiki symbols to a student, the form of the symbol is marked in the students mind and fuse with the metaphysical energies it symbolizes. When a Reiki practitioner depicts, believes about or envisages a symbol it will right away tie to the energies it symbolizes.

The symbols aid the process of healing in the student an are an important part of the Reiki process.

Reiki symbols are Japanese forms derived from Sanskrit are mostly influenced by this old language. These symbols are means of centering or focusing your attention in order to connect with “specific” healing frequencies and are used to increase energy and to help direct the flow of Ki (or chi in Chinese). These symbols are taught during the Second Degree of Reiki by a Reiki master. They are pictorial/written symbols that are used in the attunement processes and in the healing processes.

The energy involved, the Ki, was and still is the root of the entire body of Chinese medicine, where it is known as chi. Its name is actually meant to be a mantra that helps one connect with the symbol's energy, and means “Right consciousness is the root for everything”, or better yet, “Correct thought is the essence of being”. During the reiki attunement the energy of the attunement causes the Reiki symbols to become a stimulus and the particular energy the symbol represents which is present during the attunement becomes the response.

During an attunement you are given the connection with the energy through the symbols and they are used to help you focus. The first reiki symbol of the 3 learned at Level 2 Reiki is the power symbol called “Cho Ku Rei” and is used to focus the energy and used for protection. The other two are Sei Hei Ki and Hon Sha ze Sho Nen

Use the first three Reiki symbols in conjunction with each other to fashion the Reiki energy to its best use for each individual client. For analogic example, the first symbol, the power symbol, magnifies Reiki like a magnifying glass magnifies the sun's energy.

Attunements can be given only by a Reiki master and can be given for either the purpose of training one in Reiki, or for simply giving someone a larger experience of Reiki than usually experienced in treatments. The importance of having the true reiki symbols is critical for proper attunement to be a Reiki channel.

With proper training, Reiki practitioners can become proficient in the use of these symbols to heal themselves and others, local or distance healing.

The Reiki practitioner assists the client to heal themselves spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically by a simple laying on of hands. When used to heal pain, the symbol can reduce the intensity of the pain, and slowly cause the pain to completely disperse.

Sei Hei Ki Frequently called 'the Mental-Emotional Symbol', Sei Hei Ki assists in healing the mental-emotional imbalance. The mental and emotional healing symbol balances the right and left brain. The symbol can be used on yourself (or others) when feelings of fear, anxiety, anger or depression come up. Creating the oneness to a part of you who has suffered provides the base for then using the mental/emotional symbol to gently provide healing.

Their use does not require that we be able to meditate or have years of spiritual practice. Lots of practice in applying the symbols to increase energy, to do distant healing, to heal the subconscious mind, to create affirmation, to clear negative energy in the environment. With practice the reiki symbols will become less relevant and the focus will change to the “intent” of the specific energies required.

The Reiki practitioners actually do not believe in sharing the knowledge of Reiki and Reiki symbols to aspiring students unless they have attained the specific levels in Reiki. Many practitioners use this symbol whenever giving a treatment. Either way, a significant number of these newer symbols are in existence and are used by more and more Western Reiki practitioners to supplement their practice.

The Reiki symbols are usually shown to a student by a Reiki teacher or master, along with the concepts required in using them. These are sacred healing symbols which enhance the flow of Life Force Energy. These symbols help in linking up with the vital energy forces of life.

You can easily become a powerful reiki master in 48 hours, with a simple, proven system of quickly, easily and very inexpensively becoming a Reiki Master. Even if you're completely new to this beautiful art of healing and Self-Realization at http://chikara-do-reiki.info/

These are questions you should be asking your Reiki Master/Teacher.

i am going to get a tattoo in a few weeks and i have come across the reiki symbols, "Om" and "Shanti" i really like them but not sure if its a good or bad thing to actually use these symbols and or have them tattooed on my body so what i am wondering is pretty much "who, what, where, when, why, and how" about these symbols. for example, "who uses these symbols?" "what exactly are they used for?" "where are they used?" ETC… ect… i just wanna make sure that getting these symbols tattooed are a good idea before i get them, and where do they originate from?
these arent my first tattoos, i have others. Doesnt the "Om" symbol mean God and his creation?

Both Om (yes, praise, or joining) & Shanti (inner peace) are Sanskrit words.Before you get them permanently inked into your skin, it might be a good idea to do some actual research on the complete symbolism of the words. Tats are forever.

Usui reiki attunement is the process of cleansing the body and mind and inviting the intelligent power or life force to be a conduit for healing of oneself and others. Traditionally, this attunement was supposed to be carried out by a person who had attained the status of Reiki Master, carried back in history to the original sensei.

Some practitioners have begun teaching a self-attunement process that they claim is just as effective as the traditional methods.

In order to carry out a reiki self-attunement, you must know and understand four of the reiki symbols. The first symbol is known as Cho Ku Rei. It’s commonly called the Power Symbol and roughly translated means “Put all the power of the universe here”. During a traditional attunement, this symbol is drawn on the dominant hand of the practitioner and on the head of the recipient.

The second symbol used in reiki is the Sei-hei-ki or The Emotional Symbol. The English translation is “God and Humanity Become One.” The traditional Reiki teaches this symbol during Level II, and uses it when there is emotional build-up or stress. It is invoked by the practitioner in the same way as Cho Ku Rei.

The third symbol needed for attunements is Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen, The Distant Healing Symbol. The English translation for this symbol is “May the Buddha in me connect to the Buddha in you.” This is perhaps the heart of the entire Reiki healing philosophy. Again, the invocation of Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is the same as the first two.

Finally, the most powerful of the four symbols needed for attunement is Dai Ko Myo. This symbol is only taught at the Master level and is meant to heal the spiritual condition of the user. Roughly translated it would be called “Great Being of the Universe Shine on Me.”

Once you have memorized the four symbols above or drawn them out for easy access during the attunement process. You should begin the self-attunement by cleansing the room by drawing all four symbols in the air. Drawing the Cho Ku Rei and Dai Ko Myo on the palms of your hands is followed by drawing the Cho Ku Rei on each of the Chakras of your body then in front of your chest.

Next, sit in an attitude of prayer or meditation and visualize light coming down from heaven and gradually filling your entire body through the chakras beginning with the crown chakra. Once you have completed this phase, and then individually imagine each of the symbols coming down through the crown chakra all the way to the root chakra. You can visualize each individual symbol as being inside a ball of red fire as it passes through the white light.

After all four symbols are part of you, open your hands and visualize each upon your hands, imagining each sinking into your hands and becoming part of you.

Finally on the back of your neck, visualize a small golden door which can be permanently sealed in a symbolism which your mind will accept. It may be a permanent seal or removing a lock or anything else that makes you symbolize permanent closure, so that the self-attunement is complete and forever.

This completes the Reiki self-attunement process and allows you to be a practitioner of Reiki healing arts.
