Reiki symbols part 3

The Reiki symbols have 4 parts :
1. The symbol
2. The Japanese name
3. English translation
4. A pledge or a promise

The last component is your intent or wish.  It is very important to make sure that your intent should not be contradicting the promise of the symbol,  if that happens the symbols might not act upon your intent.

The symbols act as tools in your journey,  whatever it is you are focusing in your life at that moment. It can be somthing as simple as reaching a destination in the real world,  learning a new skill or journey to your life purpose.
The symbols also act as a channel for you to connect and access the energetic forces of the universe easily and consistently.

It is very important to know how and why the symbols work because it will help us to avoid making mistakes in the symbols on a conscious level.  Most of the practices belive in the concept of Let  go,  let God, and Reiki seems to be made to work like that. The basic understanding of the blue print of the symbols will help us to use the symbols better and respect them.

The symbols are taught to be used in a particular sequence, but they seems to work in any fashion you apply them.  The order of the symbols will help in focusing the energy of your intention.
If the mental emotional symbol is used first, the focus is first given time improving the mental attitudes and emotional attitudes of life. When the power symbol is used after the ME symbol, it makes the ME a royal command.

If the distance symbol is used first,  it sends the power to all the ten directions,  and if the master symbols is used first focus is given to balance integration and enlightenment.

I believe that the master symbol can be used before meditations,  it might be helpful to sit on the master symbol and to draw a pyramid around you when meditating.  This will help you to be grounded and empower your root chakra and kundalini.

The four Reiki chakras are part of the 8 sacret  Buddhist symbols found at the foot of the statue of the healing Buddha in Yakushiji in Japan.

Reiki symbols part 2

The symbols are used with their names and symbols.
It is not enough go say the name of the symbol,  you have to draw the symbols as well.
The symbols are activated by three names,  the symbols are pictures of energy and the sound is the activator.

The distance and master symbols are those which reflect their meaning through names,  other two needs the name and the symbol to represent their true meaning.

Reiki symbols part 1

Reiki symbols have always been considered as sacred and secret. It is considered sacred as it is used in Reiki initiations and it had been a closely guarded secret until recently. They is a ceremony after the Reiki  2nd, where the materials and papers used to learn the symbols would be burned and there by committing the symbols to memory.

Reiki symbols are part of the creative power of the universe,  it is one of the reasons why symbols are considered to be sacred.

The symbols are  beloved to be of three components :
1. Cosmological -  bringing to form from the diamond world of reality where angels and God's reside
2.  Initiation -  used to initiate and open the energy channels in students
3. Journey - to assist a master in the spiritual quest of life.

Reiki symbols are supposed to be used with their sound, only distance and master symbol can be invoked only by sound.  The other 2 requires the symbols to be drawn along with their name.

The symbols represent meanings much greater than ordinary human perception,  most of the symbols doesn't contain their complete meaning in their names.  It  takes the sound to activate the Reiki energy associated with the symbols.
