How to Use Reiki Symbols

"This is Eileen Dey on behalf of Expert Village and in this segment we'll talk about working with the symbols in Reiki II. The symbols themselves are objects to focus upon. When a practitioner is demonstrating Reiki or applying Reiki to themselves or the space in which they live. Mikao Usui, when he had his enlightenment experience on Mount Koriyama, saw these symbols and they represented the code in which Reiki works. There are three symbols in a traditional level two class. There's the power symbol, the emotional healing symbol, and the one that allows energy to transcend time, space and distance. All of these are used as both mantras, which are sound syllables for focus and yantras, visual, meditative focus when an individual is practicing Reiki. In this next section we'll talk about sample applications."
