Understand the Reiki symbols and how they work within Reiki

Reiki Two offers a fantastic opportunity to build upon the lessons and experiences of Reiki One. In Reiki One, invaluable lessons are taught about the nature of energy, the Reiki ideals etc and each person will have the experience of giving and receiving healing. No matter what style or method of Reiki attunement is used, each person should come away with a sound knowledge of what they are doing. From Reiki One a person can begin to use healing on others and begin to gain confidence in what they are doing through practice.

Reiki Two builds upon the knowledge and experience of Reiki One and pupils are generally taught some Reiki symbols. Owing to the various approaches to Reiki different symbols are taught or variants upon the traditional symbols are also given out. Reiki symbols and their uses are one of the most emotionally driven areas of Reiki. This is because many believe them to be sacred symbols that have magical powers or that there is a need for a person to be ‘tuned’ into these through attunements before the symbols will ‘work’.

When I used the Reiki symbols after Reiki Two I certainly got a response. They seemed to work, to do what I had been told and so I continued along this path but the more I understood about energy the less convinced I was that the symbol itself was doing the work. I later realised that these Reiki symbols simply provided me with another focus for my own energy.

This difficulty was a deep concern for me as I was using these Reiki symbols within the Reiki attunements I was performing on others and if these symbols were not doing the work of attunements, what was?

Over time I discovered that not only did it not matter what Reiki symbols were used, if any, but that attunements did not work in the way I had been taught. Reiki symbols do not have magical powers but in light of understanding energy I can say that Reiki symbols do help us focus our energy, that is why they have been seen to work.

Reiki symbols are not magical, they help discipline and focus your energy. With this focus of energy we can add intent, in doing so you are using the law of attraction, a law that states our experience reflects our intents. This why Reiki symbols can give us a clue to how we can learn to focus our own energy and create events within our lives.

In this Reiki book and through exploring the effects that can be created by using Reiki symbols I will show that your thoughts have far more effect than you may consider. Through understanding why these symbols seem to work and gain results, we can all discover our greater spiritual abilities.

In understanding the Reiki symbols you are able to see how and why the law of attraction works and how to use it and that is a very exciting prospect for all of us.
