PART I - The Usui Master Symbol
Learning and Using The Reiki III Symbols The Usui Master Symbol has several meanings. The most common is "The
The Reiki Master/Teacher (Level III) consists of learning the master symbol, receiving the attunement, Great Shining Light". Another translation might be "Great Being of the

A brief statement regarding symbols needs to be addressed. Symbols are exactly that, a symbol. They and of states of enlightenment.
are not the thing they represent. These symbols, like the level II symbols are representations of a Dai Ko Mio

The spiritual body is thought to effect the physical body. There are many schools of thought, both Eastern
and Western that believe this. Healing at this level is thought to effect the spiritual body and can lead to
wondrous changes and at times, Miracles. The practice of Johrei uses channeling the Great Light of God
into people and the world for healing. The founder of Johrei, Mokichi Okada, writes in his book "Health and
the New Civilization", that all disease comes from clouds forming on the spiritual body, and by channeling
Johrei onto people in need of healing it removes the clouds and cleanses their spiritual body. The Johrei
Fellowship exists worldwide and has done extensive medical research on the efficacy of Johrei. (Visit them
at http://www.johrei.com/ )
The Dai Ko Mio is a return to simplicity. The three other symbols together in one. Level one was the
simplicity of Reiki, trusting in the source and simply doing it. Level II is learning the ways the source
manifests and expands our conception of what the source can do. Level III, with the Dai Ko Mio brings us
back to the simplicity and the oneness. Like all Reiki Symbols, the Dai Ko Mio should be memorized if at all
possible, although even that is not necessary, just preferable. Memorizing is useful, because when doing
healings or attunements, it helps to be able to draw them quickly and correctly. The DKM, looks surprisingly
similar to the top of the White light symbol (johrei) that is used by the Johrei Movement worldwide. The link
becomes even more interesting because Usui almost certainly would have known and or studied with
Onisaburo Deiguchi who taught Mokichi Okada who founded Johrei. It was said that Morihei Tanaka who
founded Dei Rei Jutsu also had taught Usui and Okada. If nothing else there is some connection involved
with these practices that all developed and evolved around the same time in Japan.
The DKM is said to represent the Amida Sanzon, a triune of love light and harmony. These three together
represented the ultimate source in the same way that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost do. The DKM is the
"Greath Shining light". This was the source. Once you know the Dai Ko Mio, you can use it for any Reiki
use, even in place of the other symbols. This is both because as a triune symbol it contains the others, and
because it is the first step in moving from symbol reliance to just using the energy. Use it everywhere and
anytime you might want to use the others. Use the name of it as a mantra to meditate concentrating on the
Ultimate source of all, the great shining light and let it illumine your mind.
PART II - Ritual as a Process
In Traditional Reiki training, there are four attunements for Reiki I, each different. There is an additional
attunement for Reiki II and III. In nontraditional methods, attunement methods vary greatly. Some have a
combined level I attunement, some use a combined level I and II attunements, and others use the same
process for all three degrees. Any attunement is a Ritual. Rituals generally follow a pattern whether you are
talking about a Catholic Mass or High Magick or Reiki Attunements. There are usually three parts to a ritual,
the Beginning, the Ritual action / Invocation, and the End.
The first part is the beginning. The Beginning is a call to the sacred. It differentiates that what is to follow is
going to be different. In a Catholic Mass the Beginning is when the priest processes in and Makes the sign
of the cross. He says, "Let us Pray" and follows with prayers. This separates what is to follow from daily life.
It is special. In Reiki, the beginning is when we start the attunement. It can be as simple as drawing the
symbols in the air, the preparation of the student by having them meditate, saying a prayer or statement of
intent or any other practice. The beginning in any Reiki Attunement is the Intent.
The next phase is the Ritual action / Invocation. The ritual is the structure of what we are doing. Saying
prayers, doing readings and other practices are an example of ritual. They are steps to be followed to bring
2
about the desired action. An invocation calls forth the power we wish to manifest. In a catholic mass, we call
forth the power of God to be in our midst. By using the ritual of saying psalms and prayers and readings, we
bring forth more clearly the manifestation of God in our lives. By using the ritual of consecrating bread and
wine the God is brought forth in presence in body and wine. Wiccan practitioners and practitioners of Magick
(such as Hermetic Magick) will recognize how their own practices fit into this pattern. In a Reiki Attunement,
we use the structure of the ritual actions along with the symbols to invoke the reiki energy and bring for the
purpose of connecting the student with the reiki energy. The dirty little secret of reiki is that any attunement
will work. There are crown to crown variants, short forms, long forms, traditional forms, singular master
attunements (my personal favorite) and many many others. All are reiki and all work.
The Last part of a Ritual is the End. The end is the finish to the process and lets all know that it is finished
and complete. In a mass the priest says, "the mass is ended go in peace", and the people reply "Thanks be
to God". In a Reiki attunement, the process can be as simple as giving an affirmation to the person, telling
them "It is done" or "It is complete", to telling them "This attunement is done, you are a Reiki Master now
and forever". Generally the end has little or no formal ritual attached to it, since the formal ritual is over.
The reason that I have discussed Rituals here is to demonstrate that the Ritual is a process. You can modify
them as are warranted to suit your needs. The Usui attunements have been modified by many people who
have added symbols, taken away parts, added parts and all sorts of other things. Make the ritual work for
you and your students. Having said all that the only caveat is do not make what ever you do a distraction. I
have seen some people into the bells and whistles attunement experience. They burn incense, have music,
special lighting, candles, perform ceremonies to the goddess, catholic rituals, kaballah…… All of that is nice,
and may provide the recipient with grand ceremony, but remember they are not necessary. My preference is
SIMPLICITY. I do not play music. I do not burn incense. In my opinion, the more simple the better, anything
else detracts from the experience of the attunement and the connection to the Reiki Energy. As in all things,
you decide how you wish to do them.)
Intent
The only real important part of the attunement is the intent. It can be done by intent and the energy alone. If
your intent is clear, there is nothing that you can do wrong in the attunement. If you make a mistake do not
fret! Either re-do the section or action, or trust that the reiki will correct it and intend it be so. I have seen
attunements as simple as holding the person's hand and sending the energy in up the arms to the chakras
to one's as complex as involving incense, candles and ceremonial dance type actions. It is the actual doing
of the attunement that is sacred, not necessarily the process. The process seems to matter little if the intent
is clear and focused.
Distant Attunements
Distant Attunements are also possible and appropriate and just a perfect as their hands-on counterparts. It
is done by using the distant symbol and visualization and intent. The Master/Teacher visualizes the symbols
entering the Crown Chakra of the recipient and move through the aura. He or she can visualize each of the
attunement steps, and see and feel them taking place. You can use a picture of the person or a teddy bear
or other representation to assist when doing them. More information on Distant Attunements can be read
about in my article, "Distant Attunements"

distant healing, the three reiki symbols (power symbol/focus, mental-emotional symbol/harmony, and
Distance Symbol/Connection) are taught and uses are given. Some Alliance masters continue to teach an
emotional healing program. Some still taught scanning. Level 3 taught the master symbol, the attunement
process and how to do attunements. It is useful to examine what continued to be taught in the Gakkai in
Japan in an unbroken line since Usui. In Reiki Ryoho as practiced in Japan in the Gakkai there are
presently four levels. These are Sho-den, Oku-den zen ki and Oku-den Kouki, and Shinpi-den. The
Japanese have two levels of "second teachings", where in the West some schools have Level IIIa and IIIb.
Oku-den Zen ki is the second teaching. This contained Hatsurei-ho (a way to develop and expand your reiki
channel and grow spiritually. Hatsurei ho includes self cleansing and meditation. It also includes Ushi-te,
Oshi-te, and Nade-te which are tapping hand, pushing hand, and stroking hand respectively. These
techniques are common in chi kung and probably came from Japanese Ki Ko. They are used to remove
negative energies. (They are also massage-like in some sense and will get you into a lot of trouble here in
the Regulatory paradise in the west where massage is licensed! This level also included Seikaku Chiryou.
Oku-den Kouki is the second teaching part II. In the Reiki Ryoho in Japan this level is a level of personal
and spiritual development, while in the west it is called level IIIa and is a level of "personal mastery". Level
IIIa in the west bears little resemblance to the practices taught in this level in Japan. This included
additional meditations (as listed above) as well as Enkaku Chiryou which is known in the west as distant
treatment. Usui Reiki Ryoho was not to develop psychic powers. It was an enlightenment system which
healing was one part.
Raku Kai Reiki added the Breath of the Fire Dragon, the Water Ceremony, the White light symbol (Johrei),
The "Tibetan" symbols, the Hui Yin, and Ralf Jenson's Master Frequency Generator Plates. Later Masters
such as William Rand and Diane Stein seem to have added the teaching of reiki boxes, sending at intervals,
crystal grids, Antahkarana symbols, Tibetan symbols, Reiki Guides, Healing Attunements, Symbol
Meditations, and other techniques. The popularity of these approaches have led to the widespread but
incorrect belief that reiki was from Tibet, rather than these were techniques that some masters felt gave
them a better experience of Reiki.
The Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 in the "Tibetan" Reiki's are essentially the same as they are in Usui Shiki
Ryoho as practiced in the west. To review this material, please refer to the Usui Shiki Ryoho Level 1 and
Level 2 Manuals on this site.
Usui Tibetan Reiki Level IIIa Manual
The Usui Tibetan Level IIIa was added in a few years back. It was conceived of and is called a level of
"Personal Mastery". This generally amounts to being taught a number of new age add-on techniques. The
most common of these are a reiki Symbol Meditation, a Goal Manifestation Technique, a Reiki Crystal Grid,
a Technique to meet your "Reiki Guides", a Healing Attunement, a Psychic Surgery Technique, and the
Antahkarana symbol and Meditation.
I have often seen those teaching level IIIa claim that the level IIIa class "deepens the connection with the
Reiki Source", or "people who take level IIIa are better healers", or "most people do not want to teach and
so this level of 'personal mastery' enables them to practice more fully as reiki practitioners". Let us examine
each of these claims and evaluate what is being said with what we know about Reiki.
The first statement was, that level IIIa "deepens the connection with the Reiki Source". The reality is that
any practice of Reiki, whether that be self-treatments, treating others, or hatsurei ho, "deepens the
connection with the reiki source. Consistent practice is the key. That being said even extensive practice
does not seem to change the healing outcomes here in the western tradition. In the west it is commonly
taught that Reiki does the healing, not us. We are channels of the Reiki energy from the One Source
(God/Goddess/Creator/Whatever phrase floats your boat). A personal connection to the Reiki Source is
wonderful, indeed it is that feeling that makes Reiki so wonderful to do. It allows you to experience a loving
personal connection to the Creator. That being said, a "deepening" of that connection is not in any way
necessary to heal using Reiki. How could it be, since we are not the one's doing the healing. If Reiki truly
always acts in the highest good of the person receiving it, then as long as I am connected to the reiki
source, then is flows through me into the person receiving for their highest good.
The second statement was, "people who take level IIIa are better healers". Let us again look at the basic
assumptions of Reiki. Reiki does the healing and we are channels, and Reiki can do no harm and always
works in the highest good of the person receiving it. If these assumptions regarding Reiki are true, then you
ability as a healer is irrelevant. Reiki does the healing, you are along for the ride (but it is a very nice ride,
enjoy it!). You can learn all the meditative, crystal using, space alien, ascended masters, goddess
channeling, angel working practices you want, they won't make the Reiki any better. (Although there is the
argument that Reiki increase the efficacy of those practices, and if that is the case some argument could be
made regarding their inclusion. However, at that point are you still doing Reiki?)
The third statement above made was, or "most people do not want to teach and so this level of 'personal
mastery' enables them to practice more fully as reiki practitioners". What if one fine day you decide you want
to pass this to you mother, father, children, siblings, friends? What then? Do you then go and pay for
another class to learn the attunement process that you could already do, had it been taught when you
received the master attunement in IIIa? Or do you, like some, simply get a copy of the attunement process
and then use it, but worry that you may not be doing it correctly?
This level to me seems artificial, and a great marketing strategy. Personal Mastery with Reiki comes from
experience with Reiki, not with pseudo-Reiki add on techniques. Personal mastery comes from doing Reiki.
Reiki, from the Divine source, teaches many subtle experiential lessons. These are "your" lessons. Soft
loving experiential lessons that cannot be adequately communicated to another in a class no matter how
good a communicator you are. They can only be communicated by Reiki in the doing and being. Doing Reiki
on yourself or others 30 minutes a day will teach you far more than any manual (especially one as mediocre
as this one is!). If you truly desire to develop "personal mastery", I would strongly encourage you to learn
the Reiki Ryoho technique of Hatsurei ho and practice it daily. Additionally, do the principles morning and at
night and any time that you feel emotionally charged, angry or stressed. This is in accord with the original
intent and design of the Usui System and will make a profound difference in your own inner healing.
Reiki Advanced Techniques(R.A.T.)
Welcome to the Reiki Advanced Techniques Section of the On-Line Manual! Reiki Advanced Techniques or
R.A.T. are supplemental techniques added to traditional Usui reiki from a vast array of sources. During the
time that Mrs. Takata was teaching, the practice of Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki in America, was consistent and
fairly standardized. Mrs. Takata died in 1980. After Mrs. Takata's death, people began to question pricing
and various practices in Reiki. Many people that practice Reiki, have experienced other systems on their
journey. These might include Wicca, Hermetic Magic, Kaballah, Crystals, Meditation, Tibetan Buddhist

Practices, and everything in between. Some Reiki Masters began experimenting with this simple art of Reiki,
and adding everything under the sun into it. New symbols were added. People began speculating then
stating Reiki came from Tibet, Egypt, Atlantis, and whole new arts were built onto the framework of what
was Reiki.
New styles emerged. Styles such as Usui/Tibetan Reiki, Vajra Reiki (was Johre Reiki), Blue Star Reiki,
Karuna Reiki , Tera Mai Reiki , Seichim Reiki, Lightarian Reiki Siddheartha Reiki , and more others than I
can probably name. Some added new symbols, others modified the attunement process, still others
changed the focus from a healing art to a tool for ascension work or self-development, or for "Galactic
Healing". Some of these arts claim to be "higher frequency energy", or "more powerful", or even
enlightenment producing!
Understand that none of these techniques are necessary to practice reiki effectively, and none of the
were used in Japan. Some Reiki Masters question the validity of these practices, or the inclusion of them
under the descriptor "Reiki". I will list some of the more common modifications and Reiki Advanced
Practices (RAT) here, as well as some other Techniques of Advanced Reiki (T.A.R.). Try them if you
choose. If you find them useful, add them to your practices. Here you will find some of what are commonly
referred to as "advanced" techniques. These are my personal modifications of these practices are
presented here.
Reiki Symbol Meditation
Reiki Symbol Meditation is meditation using the Reiki Symbols. It is a hybrid of meditation and visualization
that is half attunement and half meditation. It is designed to increase the connection to the reiki source by
meditating on the symbols. Knowing this is the process, those of you who are familiar with meditation could
easily fashion your own meditation on the symbols, visualizing the symbols and meditating on the
connection to the reiki source. Experiment and explore. These practices are not written in stone, and were
developed by other people, just like you. Their ways are no better (or no worse?!!) than yours.
To do this meditation, use guidelines that anyone doing meditation of any sort might follow. Get yourself into
a comfortable position. Sitting in a comfortable chair that allows your spine to be erect is good. Placing your
hands on your lap and having your feet comfortably touch the floor generally works well. Relaxing the body
using some deep breathing, or muscular relaxation can sometimes help.
As with all meditation, if your mind wanders while meditating, allow the thoughts to slip away, paying them
no mind, and gently refocus. Having done that, breathe slow and deep, shut your eyes and focus on the
feeling of Reiki. Sometimes it helps to allow that sensation to begin in your palms. Allow the reiki to pour into
you and intend that it do so. Let your mind stay on this sensation and feeling. Now allow the loving feel of
the Reiki Source to be with you as the reiki energy flows into you. Stay with this feeling for a time and then
when you are ready, you can begin to meditate on the symbols.
The first symbol we will use is the Master symbol. Either draw it in front of you or visualize it in your mind.
Say the name of the symbol (either out loud or in your head). Visualize the symbol as golden, intensely
bright and empowered with the loving energy of the reiki source. Allow it to flow into you, and for any
message it might have for you to manifest. Stay focused on the symbol and the reiki flow and the source.
The Master symbol is the symbol of empowerment, and of the Great Shining Light. Allow the symbol and
energy to show you what that means. Stay with this as long as you feel comfortable.
When you are ready, do the same with the Power Symbol, the Mental/Emotional Symbol, and the Distance
Symbol. You can so the meditation with all four symbols in one setting, or my personal preference is to only
6
work with one symbol per session and increase the time meditating on that symbol. The connection feels
more personal that way.
When you are finished, draw all four symbols in front of you saying their names. That the reiki source for
sharing this with you. At this point, you are likely to be filled with energy and this would be a good time to
work on doing self-treatments, treating others, doing distant healing, manifesting goals, charging your reiki
crystals, or watching reruns of "Green Acres". (no really!!!, Arnold the pig helps ground people. Ok, so that
was a bad joke. However, grounding yourself is important! If you are not grounded, you might find yourself
light headed and dizzy after this meditation. Find something that is grounding and do it. You can place your
palms on the earth, go for a walk, visualize roots running to the center of the earth and connecting, drink
water or whatever works for you. You can also put your tongue on the soft pallate (just behind the teeth),
draw the power symbol on the feet, that hara (just below the naval) and the palms. Place your palms on the
hara and concentrate on that area for a few minutes. This tends to bring the excess energy from the upper
chakras and into the hara. Any method of grounding works and keeps the dizzies from happening!
There are an infinite number of possibilities of Reiki Meditations available. You can do it focusing only on
the connection to the reiki source. You can add other meditative practices such as light body meditations, or
Mer-Ka-Ba. Experiement and know that your modifications are just as good and valid as anyone else's, they
just cost less!
Manifesting Goals
There are several methods available to help use reiki and the reiki symbols to manifest goals. Advocates of
these techniques feel that they can help manifest changes in your life. Manifestation practices can be done
alone, or after doing a Reiki Meditation like the one described above. No matter what method you use to
manifest goals, always be ethical in what you ask for.
Sit and relax, breathing gently and deeply. Either out loud or to yourself, say your goal. State it in such a
way that their can only be one interpretation and cannot be misinterpreted. Connect to the Reiki energy.
Draw the symbols on your palms. In your mind, create a mental movie, or mental image of this goal being
accomplished. Draw the reiki symbols on the mental picture starting with the power symbol and ending with
the power symbol. Repeat this same procedure for each goal you wish to accomplish. When you are
finished, say (out loud or in your mind) "If this be possible within Divine love and wisdom, then let it be so."
Finish by drawing all the reiki symbols again on the visualization and sealing it with a power symbol. Believe
totally that this process is done and that this goal is already being manifested.
Another Manifestation technique is a Manifestation Triangle. This technique is a better choice for those who
are not as good with visualization techniques. Also, because it involves writing, it is more concrete and can
help focus you on what you truly want. The first step is to draw a triangle. At the bottom left hand corner
write the person's name that this manifestation is to be for (yourself or someone else). Next, at the top of the
triangle, write what you want to happen. This should be the best possible solution to the situation. The
situation and person's name should be specific. You can say "This will manifest for the highest good of
(person's name)". Next, at the bottom right hand corner, write the situation. After setting up your triangle,
and writing out the name, solution and situation, draw a power key symbol over each corner. Draw a power
symbol over the whole triangle. Place your hands on the triangle picture and do reiki on it, intending it to
manifest.
Reiki Crystal Grid
7
This technique was developed to set up a continuous flow of reiki energy for healing or protection by using
crystals and the reiki energy. This technique did not exist in Reiki Ryoho in Japan, and was not part of the
Hayashi-Takata Usui Shiki Ryoho, but like most of the add-on's was developed after the death of Mrs.
Takata. It is not my belief that you can empower a grid to continuously send Reiki. I think sending reiki
involves intent and a connection between the sender, the energy and the receiver. I do not teach this
practice. It is included here for your reference. The advocates of this procedure believe that a crystal grid
can be created and charged with Reiki energy. It is thought that it will continue to send Reiki energy for
healing, protection, or to assist with goal manifestation for several days or longer. The idea of using
charged objects to bring about a desired outcome for the user or wearer is nothing new. Talismans have
been used throught recorded history. These techniques are generally from magical traditions.
Psychologists believe that there is a self-fulfilling prophecy regarding the wearing of such objects as well as
a placebo effect.
To make the Reiki Grid you need eight crystals. (There are many books on crystal selection with rather
lengthy guidelines about how to select the "perfect" crystal for you.) For our purposes, the easiest method
of crystal selection is to pick the crystals up and just see how they feel to you. Try not to so much "think"
about this as "feel" it. Send some reiki into the crystal and see how that feels as well, allowing your intuition
to guide you. Most new age shops and many science or hobby shops sell crystals. Regular Rose Quartz,
or White Quartz tumbled smooth stones are sufficient for the puspose of making this grid and are
inexpensive. You will also need a picture of the person that the grid will send to or protect. After you have
the stones, they will need to be cleansed. Some crystal experts believe you should cleanse them in clear
water and then leave them in the sun and moon light for a period of three days. Other experts believe it is
best to place them in rock or sea salt or salt water for 24 hours. Say a prayer over them after you have put
them in the salt or salt water, asking that they be purified for your highest spiritual good.
Choose a place for the Reiki Grid. The best location is one where others do not go so that the grid is not
disturbed. Take the eight crystals that you have cleansed, and choose the one that seems the strongest.
This will be the Master Charging Crystal. For your central (Master) crystal, you may want to choose a
double terminated crystal, a cluster, a pyramid or a crystal ball. (Some practitioners conceptualize this in
terms of yin and yang. You are looking for the crystal that is the most yang or having the strongest male
energy.) Next, place six of the crystals at equal points around a circle about 10 to 12inches in diameter.
This creates a hexagon or six-sided figure. Place the last crystal in the center. This makes seven stones in
the design in total. The eighth will be used as the Master crystal. Play with the arrangement until it feels
right. This arrangement uses a six sided figure. It is possible to construct them in any geometric shape.
Various Magick traditions such as Wicca and Hermetic Magick attribute different meanings to the various
shapes. Choose one that best represents what you are trying to accomplish. Take a picture of yourself or
the person that you want to send reiki to. Draw the four Reiki Symbols on the back, the person's name, and
an affirmation to help empower and set the intent of the process. Be creative. You can use a piece of
paper with a goal, intent or need on it instead of a picture. Draw out the four Reiki Symbols on the paper
and then Reiki it between your hands and place it within the crystal Grid. The Grid will continuously send
Reiki to heal the person or bring about the goal. At this point you have the purified crystals and your
prepared picture. The next step is to charge the crystals with the reiki energy. This is very simple to do.
Take each crystal into your hands and send Reiki into it for about 10 minutes or so. Do this with each
crystal, one at a time until all of them are done. You can also say prayers, or ask your Reiki or spiritual
guides to assist you while you are charging them. Another way to charge them is to do a Reiki Attunement
on each crystal or do an attunement on the grid once it is completed. Once the crystals are charged put
each back in its place on the grid. Put the Master Crystal in last. It is suggested that you not move the
crystals after they are in place as it will weaken the energy connections. The Master Crystal is used to keep
your Reiki Grid charged. This stone can be recharged when needed by holding it in the hand during a reiki
meditation, beaming reiki into it, or reattuning it. To finish the grid hold the Master crystal in your right
hand. Starting at the top, begin to connect the dots that are formed by the crystals on the grid. You will be
starting at the top and making six triangles as you connect the imaginary lines between the stones on the
outside and the center stone. Move around the Grid in a counterclockwise direction. You can also say an
affirmation or mantra as you do this. Some masters meditate with they Master Crystal frequently to keep
their Reiki Grid charged up.
Reiki Guide Meditation
This technique is commonly taught in the Level IIIa classes of the Usui/Tibetan School and has been
popularized by authors such as William Rand and Diane Stein. Reiki Guides were not part of Traditional
Reiki as taught by Usui. Like most of the "add-on" material, Reiki Guides and the belief in them were added
on by other masters in the west after the death of Mrs. Takata and were never used by Usui. Understand
that Reiki works without "guides" and that guides are not necessary to practicing reiki, or doing attunements.
Many people use reiki their entire lives without ever having a guide. Although I do believe that people can
have guides (and there is plenty of precedents set by the world's religions with guardian angels and other
spirit protectors) I am not of the mind that there are specific "reiki guides". There are some authors believe
that reiki "guides" are really the ones that do reiki, and are the presence doing the attunements and will
correct errors made by the Reiki Master during an attunement. I do not share this belief and my opinion is
that reiki in all manifestations comes from the source of all. I do not use guides in my practice, nor do I
teach them or this procedure. It is included here for your reference only.
Like all meditation practices, find a time alone and a place without distractions. Sit comfortably in a straight
backed chair with your hands on your thighs. As you breath in, see the breath as white light filling every
part of your body. As the white light goes through your body with your breath, it collects this tension and is
blown out of you with the release of the breath.
Visualize a fountain of white Light descending down over you. This light flows over you and down to the
ground. As it touches your energy it collects the negative energy and everything that is not for your highest
good. The Reiki Light transmutes the negative energy into light. Allow the light to form a protective bubble
around you. You are completely surrounded by this bubble of light and you feel safe and protected.
Do some form of systematic muscular relaxation. One that I use is:
Allow the relaxation to come into the soles of both of your feet at the same time. Feel your feet relax. Let
the relaxing sensation move up the legs into the ankles, letting the muscles and bones relax. The relaxing
energy moves up the legs into the calves, relaxing them, and then up through the knees into the thighs.
Allow the legs to totally relax, and then let the energy move up into the hips, relaxing the hips. And your legs
and hips are totally relaxed. Now let the relaxing power move up the spine, and a warm feeling of energy
moves up the spine as it relaxes the muscles of the back. The energy moves into the shoulders, and you
allow your shoulders to relax. The energy now moves down the arms, and into the hands, relaxing your
upper arms, fore arms, and hands. Now the energy moves up the neck, relaxing the muscles in the neck
and up the head, into the scalp and the head and scalp are relaxed. The energy moves down over the

forehead, and into the jaw, and you are totally relaxed and now ready to start the meditation to meet your
guide. At this point, concentrate on the breathing and let go of all thought.
As you sit in your chair, see a beautiful column of Pure White Light, or a column of Golden Divine Light.
Allow the divine light to come in your presence and then to envelop you, and be with you. As you gaze at
this Light, you see a figure emerging from out of the Light and coming towards you. As they approach, you
start to see more of what they looks like. You may wish to ask them some questions to help them
communicate with you. As you ask these questions and receive the answers, know that you will remember
them clearly upon awakening. You will both intuit, feel, hear or otherwise receive the answers. Ask and or
notice their gender, size, appearance, shape, smell, form, clothing, etc.
See them come towards you and give you a hand. Note how it feels to meet this being? Are the familiar and
do you recognize them from having met them before? What does their energy feel like to you?
See them sit in front of you. Ask them their name, why they are here for you at this moment in time, what
role they are to play in your life, and if they have a specific message for you at this time. Listen carefully for
the answers.
When you feel comfortable with your guide and the answers have come to you, be with your guide for a time
and allow the connection and communication between you to deepen. Some people have a good sense of
when it is time to leave and others do not. You may wish Ask them how you can recognize their presence
the next time and how to ask them for assistance when you need it in the future. You should not share this
information to anyone. Then, thank your Reiki Guide for making their presence known to you. Know that
your guide will be with you from this time forward, guiding you, protecting you, and assisting you. In the
future, all you need do is acknowledge their presence and ask for their help when you need it. Start
bringing yourself back to the room where you are physically. When you open your eyes, you will awaken,
refreshed, alert, and completely aware. You have now met your guide. Talk to them in meditations. Call on
them when you need. This can be as simple as calling their name in your mind. Also, by remember the
feeling you had of them (energy signature) you can connect with them. (Author's Note: Be careful what
spirits you ask into your life. Make your own decisions. You have free will, USE IT. Never surrender your
will to another human or spirit. Above all else, be careful.)
Reiki Psychic Surgery Technique
This technique was developed by William Rand. It is a pseudo-hypnosis/visualization psychodrama
technique that tries to focus a person on solving an area that they are "stuck" in and breaking up blockages. session or attunement does.
This technique reminds me of some neuro-linguistic programming techniques I was once taught minus the
reiki. I do not teach this material in any of my classes. You may click the link here to review the proceedure be willing to let go of the block as well as any other effected areas in their life related to the block. In order

Techniques of Advanced Reiki (T.A.R)
Welcome to the Techniques of Advanced Reiki (T.A.R.) Here you will find a "Healing Attunement", and the
Antahkarana Symbol and Meditation.
Section One - The Reiki Healing Attunement
Background
A Reiki Healing Attunement is a non-initiatory attunement that is given for healing purposes only. It was not focused on and released during the healing attunement.
8
a part of traditional Usui Reiki and as such is not necessary in the least to practice Reiki. This Attunement
was conceptualized to be non-initiatory which means that it is not supposed to initiate the person receiving it
into Reiki. It was thought that it would bring higher frequency energies and more powerful levels of energies
into the person than a traditional hands on treatment. (Okay, for those diligent readers who have ploughed
through all this ranting and raving of mine, here is your test - How am I going to respond to these "claims"?)
The prime directive of reiki is that we do not control the energy, reiki does the healing not us, and reiki
always works for the highest good of the recipient. So…….. using that as a guideline I would have to say
that the healing attunement would not work any better at healing than any regular hands on treatment.
Indeed, how could it? Reiki does the healing not us, and Reiki decides what is in the highest good of the
person, not us, so we cannot control the energy by doing extra special healing attunements.
Please Note: This Attunement as conceptualized is not supposed to initiate the client into Reiki. The
inventors of this procedure believe that it is not an Attunement Process for conferring the status of Reiki
practitioner, therefore the Reiki Master can utilize this particular process in his or her healing work. It is
thought that the reason the Healing Attunement does not initiate the client into Reiki is that the Symbols are
not placed into the hands, but instead are placed in the recipient's Heart Chakra. My experience tells me
that any attunement confers the status of a reiki practitioner on a person. (This occurred a number of times
after doing the Healing Attunement and having people contact you days later telling you that their hands are
very hot, and that when ever they touch themselves or others they become hot and it feels relaxing and
pleasant to the receiver. Upon examination and having them try this on me, it appeared that they had
received an attunement.) Understand full well when giving this that you are initiating someone into reiki. If
you do this and the person experiences post attunement effects, you are ethically bound to instruct them in
reiki so they understand the gift given them.
It was told to me that the effect of this attunement does not last more than 30 days. That also has not been
borne out by my experience. With a willing volunteer, it was found that the effect was still active after 95
days (and counting) and so please heed the cautionary statement above.
This Reiki Healing Attunement was thought to be a way for a client to be able to remove blockages and is
used with a pseudo-therapeutic technique to help the person focus on the "blockage" and why it might be
occuring. As with any attunement, it can remove negative energies from the client's physical body, aura and
chakras. It can also help release blocks. It needs to be said that this is what any regular hands on reiki
To Utilize the "blockage releasing" potential of the Healing Attunement explain to the person that they must
for it to be most effective they must be willing to let go and heal and make the necessary changes related to
the block. The client's intent in the attunement should be focused on the issues relating to the block and
letting go of it and healing.
This "Healing Attunement" is also conceptualized to help "empower goals". (For more information about
Goal Empowerment and Manifestation of Goals. To do this, discuss with the person what goals they have
had trouble achieving, and what might need to be released and healed so it can be achieved. Realize that
there are often unconscious fears and feelings that prevent the person from achieving the goal. Also, there
can be fears that if the goals is accomplished the person may have to make changes in their life which may
be uncomfortable or frightening and so they avoid completing that goal. These blocks and fears can be
9
Procedure
Like all attunements, the client should sit in a chair, back erect, with their feet on the floor. The developers
of this technique believe that the recipient's eyes should be closed for the duration of the healing
attunement. This is because they need to focus "inwardly" on achieving their primary purpose. It is also
done so they cannot see the attunement process.
Prior to starting the Healing Attunement move behind the person and say a silent prayer and state your
intent. You can also ask for the help of your spiritual Guides, Reiki Guides, angels, etc. Draw the Power
symbol on your palm, Crown, and heart Chakras and intend that they be opened to the Light. Draw all six
Reiki Symbols in the air in front of you, then you are ready. .
Part One - Move behind the Person
From behind the client make the sign of the Fire Serpent. This starts from above the head, down the back
and spirals at the base of the spine. Place your hands on their shoulders, or on top of their head for a few
moments to develop an energetic rapport with the person.
Contract and hold the Hui Yin, and hold it throughout the entire attunement. Do the Violet Breath. (To see
the Hui Yin and violet breath, see the instructions in the Reiki Level III Section of this manual. Open your
hands and exhale into the Crown Chakra, picturing the Tibetan Master Symbol moving from the middle of
your head, out with your breath, into their crown chakra. Move the symbol down through their head, guiding
it with your hand, into their heart chakra while saying the name of the Dumo (Tibetan Master Symbol) three
times. (Moving the symbol into the heart chakra is how this differs from a traditional attunement where the
symbols go into the base of the brain. The developers of this technique believe that means the person will
not be Initiated into Reiki. I believe this to be incorrect. Read the warnings regarding this which are part of
this section.)
Do the same technique with the Usui Master Symbol, this time saying the name of the Usui master symbol
three times as you move it from the crown shakra to the heart. Repeat this with the Power Symbol, the
Mental/Emotional Symbol and the Distance Healing Symbol
Part Two - Move to the Front
Draw the Tibetan Symbol over the crown chakra. Say the name of the Dumo three times as you move it
from the crown chakra to the third eye chakra. the heart and then into the solar plexus. Gently tap the top of
the head three times with the finger tips. Repeat this with the Usui Master Symbol, the Power symbol, the The Antahkarana symbol is a cube shaped symbol. It has on its surface three "sevens". These are thought
Mental/Emotional symbol, and the Distance Healing Symbol.
Blow toward the Solar Plexus, and gently blow from the Heart, the Third Eye and Crown Chakras. Blow
back down to the Solar Plexus, then back up to the Crown. This is one slow even breath. You are opening Its energy moves through all dimensions, leading us to out higher self. It probably corresponded also to the
the channels when you do this so you can use your hands to help guide the energy. You can also keep a
strong intention to remove and sweep out all negative energy by sweeping out this energy as you blow by
making a sweeping motion with the hands. Sweep it from the aura to the light.
Part Three - Move behind the Person
Look down the head through the crown chakra, and visualize and imagine that you can see the heart. Look
for a soft green, white or pink ball of light. Place a positive affirmation into the person's heart by repeating it
to yourself three times. Iintend it to enter the heart and to be accepted by the subconscious mind. Some
examples might be "You are completely healed by Divine Love", or "You are empowered by Divine Love
and Wisdom"
Place one hand on the back of the person's heart Chakra and your other hand on their shoulder. Say aloud,
"I now perfectly seal this healing process with Divine Love and Wisdom" Picture a door with the Power
symbol on it being closed and locked over the Heart Chakra. While you do this, intend, will and feel that the
healing process is sealed and complete. Place your hands on the person's shoulders knowing that you
have both been blessed by this process.
Part Four - Move to the Front
Hold your hands at waist level, palms out facing the person, makse sure the hui yin is contracted and breath
a final breath at the person intending that the energy act as a blessing for the person. Some masters
"program" this attunement to last a specified time for the person to be able to work on the issue.
Section Two - Antahkarana - Ancient Symbol of Healing
(Author's note - The Antahkarana exists in several styles of Reiki including the Usui/Tibetan, Tibetan and
Raku Kai. To the best of my knowledge, it did not exist in Usui Reiki. Although it is claimed to be a
"Tibetan" symbol that is most ancient (some even trace it to "Lemuria" 100, 000 years ago!) I can find no
record of its existence as a symbol used for healing in Tibet or anywhere else. I showed it to a Tibetan
monk I met, who said that he has never seen or heard of it before. This does not mean that it is not a
symbol of antiquity, or that the procedure is ineffective. It does mean that I cannot substantiate the claims
made regarding it.)
The Antahkarana is reputed to cure everything (although I have repeatedly tried and my beautiful golden
mane of hair has not returned and still I have this receeding hairline. Lucky my wife likes Captain Piccard
and his bald head from Star Trek:TNG, so perhaps this is not necessarily a bad thing......) Most descriptions
I have seen of the Antahkarana describe it as bring in the "spiritual anatomy" of all living things. It is the
connection between your brain and your higher self. It is thought that if you are to ever grow spiritually, you
must develop and heal this connection. The symbol itself is thought to represent that connection and is
thought by its mere presence (i.e., seeing it) to facilitate that connection. Indeed, just having the thing in
sight is supposed to have a beneficial and uplifting effect on the chakras and auras. It will also increase the
efficacy of all healing techniques. It is thought to complete the Microcosmic orbit by meditating on it, which
facilitates a flow of energy to all the chakras. I have heard of it being used to clear and cleanse crystals of
negative energy.
to correspond to the 7 chakras, seven colors, seven tones on the musical scale. In the apocryphal book of
Revelations there are the three sevens of the seven trumpets, the seven candlesticks and the seven seals.
"seven" plantets.
The Meditation practice included here is attributed to Tibetan practices. From the information I was taught,
it was said that the monks would use a room lit with seven candles. An earthen vessel would be in the
room. Its shape was oval. It contained water. The oval shaped vessel represented the "cosmic egg" of the
universe. There was a stool that the monk would sit upon, which contained the Antahkarana symbol made
out of a silver metal (This might be a "master frequency plate" or "master frequency generator", that Ralf
Jensen developed. They are for sale at the American Reiki Masters Association(tm).) Purportedly the
monks would sit on the stool and meditate on the reiki symbols which were on a copper mirror on the other

side of the room which would merge the heavenly reiki energies and the antakarana would focus the earth
energy blending them in the chakras (does this sound like SKHM to anyone but me???)
(Author's note - It is highly unlikely that Tibetan Lama Monks would be meditating on "Reiki" symbols,
especially the HSZSN and the DKM, which are Japanese Kanji. I know that the Diane Stein fans out there
are reminding themselves at this moment that Diane writes that there are 300+ symbols in a monestary in
Tibet waiting to be re-revealed to the world. However, there is no evidence that Reiki was ever practiced in
Tibet. There is even less evidence that there are multitudes of
symbols waiting to be discovered anywhere. In my opinion, this
is what happens when people pass on information to others who
pass it on and pretty soon, everyone "knows" it, and all accept it
to be true. They even begin quoting each other as sources! For
more information try my Article on "What is and is not Reiki" , or
my article "Reiki History and Commentary". These articles
address this subject in more detail.)
The Antahkarana Symbol
The Antahkarana is reported to be quite a panacea. It is said to
have its own consciousness, to work on the aura, the chakras,

said to connect you to the higher self. It is like that shampoo

for harm, much in the same way Reiki cannot be used for harm. I was taught you can place it on things,
under them, and all sorts of places to assisst in healing.
It is primarily used for Meditation, and there are a number of methods for doing that. The simplest is to gaze
on the form on a paper or to make a cube with the image on it and stare at it and meditate. Some people
report that the image will fade in and out of consciousness or that they will see visions.
The size of the image is supposedly related to the masculine and feminine aspects of the image. It was
taught me that a large single image feminine and the smaller symbol was masculine in energy.
A Meditation using the Antahkarana Symbol
This meditation, as it was taught me appears to be like the Reiki Meditation in the R.A.T (see above)
Section of this manual, along with some basic Chi Gung Macrocosmic Orbit work. This process was
thought to cleanse the system of negativity, negative energy, and to cleanse the chakras as you circulate
the energy. (Author's note: Any good meditation or chi gung practice will do this.)
This meditation is purported to improve your healing skills, open the third eye, increase your clairvoyance,
and any other number of wonderments. The process begins with Using the Reiki Master Symbol (Author's
note: has anyone but me noticed that most of these additional techniques need the Reiki Symbols/energy
to power or empower them?)
First place the Antahkarana Symbol under your feet. Next do a complete Reiki Healing Attunement on
yourself. Place your hands on your thighs and relax. Feel the Reiki flow. Now draw the Usui Master symbol
in the air before you. (Some visualize white light coming from their hand as they draw the symbol. As you
draw the symbol, say the name of the Usui Master symbol three times. Keep the image in your mind and
meditate on it. Now Focus your gaze on the Antahkarana Symbol. Say the name of the symbol three
10
times, and then hold the symbol in your mind's eye and meditate on the symbol. When you feel done,
focus on the symbols and move them up, into the light, or a field of intense white light. When this is done,
do the Hui Yin, then visualize the Usui Power symbol at the Hara, and then at each chakra all around the
channel until you reach the hara again. This is to clear each chakra. See the light and Reiki energy at
each chakra as you do this.

it is not necessary to do Reiki, or do it effectively.

Level IIIb generally consists of two parts. The first teaches the Usui Shiki Ryoho Level III Master material
including the Usui Master symbol and its uses. Second, the Tibetan material and symbols was
taught. Click this link to view the Usui Shiki Ryoho Level III Master Manual on this site. This
material should be learned before proceeding.
Learning and Using The Usui / Tibetan Symbols
The Usui/Tibetan symbols consist of the Fire Serpent, Dumo, and Raku.
A brief statement regarding symbols needs to be addressed. Symbols are exactly that,
a symbol. They are not the thing they represent. These symbols, like the Usui symbols
are representations of a specific manifestation or property of the Reiki energy. They are
not the energy themselves. As people progress spiritually, they find increasing levels of
simplicity. It is not uncommon for people to move past the need to use the symbols and
simply use the source energy directly.
Some may find the presentation of the symbols here abhorrent. To them, the symbols are
secret and sacred. The secretive belief, presumably, is that if the symbols are known they will
lose their power or that others will profane them or try to use them for uses other than reiki, or to harm. The
symbols have no power of their own. They are a connection to the source, not the source itself. The
symbols cannot be profaned or used for harm, they represent the Reiki source, and Reiki cannot be used
for harm. Reiki is sacred, the symbols are kanji, or Japanese words. They are found on temple walls, in
books, in Buddhist practices, and all sort of other places in plain view in Japan.
Indeed, anyone with a Japanese dictionary could look them up.
DUMO or Tibetan Master Symbol
The Usui/Tibetan style also refer to the Dumo as a "Dai Ko Mio", or the Tibetan
DaiKoMio. In my practice, I refer to the Usui Master Symbol as the Dai Ko Mio,
and the Tibetan Master Symbol as the Dumo to avoid confusion. Diane Stein, in
her book "Essential Reiki" stated "that many modern teachers feel that the
Traditional Dai Ko Myo Symbol is more in tune with the older time, whereas the
nontraditional Symbol flows more closely to the vibrations of today's world and
teaching needs." Something for everyone, I suppose. Some people prefer the
Traditional Usui, and others prefer the Usui/Tibetan. If you feel drawn to use one
over the other, then do so.

make any new masters for three years. Additionally, they unquestionably acknowledge Mrs. Takata, and
Phyllis Furumoto as the "Grand Master" of Reiki. They follow the practices of Mrs. Takata dogmatically, and
the price for mastership is $10,000.
The $10,000 price was used by Mrs. Takata to ensure that only those most committed to Reiki would
achieve the master level. I have heard it stated that Mrs. Takata believed that the people in the West did
not appreciate what they receive free. However, it is important to note here that Takata did not always
charge for training or treatments.
In the traditional Usui History, Usui healed beggars in the slums in Tokyo who reportedly came back time
and again. They did not appreciate their healing and thus he vowed never to give it away free again. This
story is used as part of a justification of having others pay, and pay dearly for learning. What now appears to
be the case with this story, is that Usui did in reality work with those in Tokyo, following the earthquake there
and he offered healing to many, which spread the knowledge of Reiki throughout Japan and enhanced
greatly his reputation as a healer. This would tend to take away the emphesis about money in the traditional
story, as well as the emphesis on "exchanges". The irony is that Mrs. Takata told this story to illustrate that
some people hold on to their illness and that some people refuse to change.
Another issue to be addressed is the idea of "exchanges" or "energy exchanges". This is a new age
concept added in post Takata. This was never a part of Usui Reiki. The idea behind the "energy
exchange", is that when you receive Reiki, it is a great gift and thus there must be some energy exchange
in order to satisfy Universal Law. Along with this reasoning is that to those in the West, money is what is
truly valued and thus it must be a great sum of money (i.e., $10,000). This to me seems a justification to
charge a high fee.
It is my opinion that this philosophy of energy exchanges unnecessary I find the idea of "energy
exchanges" and the philosophy behind them somewhat odd. The universe maintains it's own balance, it is
ego that leads us to think that we have such importance in the cosmic scheme of things that we must
"balance" things.
In looking at the teachings of Jesus, or Buddha, we do not see the idea that "exchanges" must be done to
repay acts of kindness that we do. Jesus tells us that if someone takes our shirt to give our cloak as well,
not if they take our cloak to make sure we get their shoes......
Any act of kindness effects many many people, far beyond our ability to see or know. Who is to say that
something I do today will not effect many others through that person. Are "energy exchanges" met and
satisfied then? I offer this caveat, do whatever you do with no strings attached, no expectations on the
behavior of the other and you will never go wrong. Surely if Energy Exchanges were so important to the
balance, then at least one of the great spiritual leaders would have mentioned it.......
TRADITIONAL and NON TRADITIONAL
The problem here is myriad. First, what is a Traditional Reiki Practitioner? Would that be the group calling
themselves "Traditional Japanese Reiki"?, or the Reiki Alliance Members Practices, or the Practices of the
Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai in Japan? It seems that all believe they practice "Traditional Reiki". For the
purposes of this discussion what is generally referred to as "Traditional Reiki" is that of the Usui-Hayashi-
Takata lineage.
Some traditionalists do not acknowledge training from non-traditional schools. Non-Traditional generally
refers to the practices added on and the "other" Reiki's. Styles such as Usui/Tibetan Reiki, Karuna Reiki ,
Tera Mai Reiki , Lightarian Reiki , Angelic RayKey, are examples of different styles. Techniques such as
distant attunements, other symbols, the Hui Yin, Violet breath, reiki guides, seeing auras, psychic powers,
dolphin breathing, Antahkarana symbols, angels and others are considered non traditional techniques.
Many of these styles and techniques are wonderful additions for a healer to have in their arsenal of effective
healing modalities. It is important to know that they were not a part of traditional reiki, that way people can
make better and more informed decisions.
Recently in the Western World, we have been lucky that Frank Petter and Hiroshi Doi have been releasing
material from Japan. What is becoming apparent is that in the west we have moved far from the original
practice and intent of the system. That does not negate the wonderful healing and developments in the
west, but it does highlight that the original system was an system that developed inner peace, and led to
enlightenment. In the west there is only the healing, with the acknowledgement that it is a "spiritual" art.
The effect of this vacuum is that many have tried to fill in the gaps with every possible new age practice
including crystals, ancient civilizations such as Tibetan, Atlantean, Lemurian, hypnosis, space aliens, crop
circles, and so many others that I cannot keep up with them all.
WHAT IS A MASTER
This is an area that brings heated arguments. A Reiki Joke.... What do you call one Reiki Master alone?
Answer: A Healer. What do you call two Reiki Masters together? Answer: An Argument!
A Reiki Master is a person that has learned the Usui System of Natural Healing. It is someone that knows all
the symbols, attunements, and has been trained specifically in passing the symbols, training and
attunements to others. Nothing more or less than that. Period. A Reiki Master is not a guru, a spiritual
leader, enlightened master, or anything else. (Although some are!) The arguments regarding the title "Reiki
Master" seem to center around this central point. There is a group that is decidedly uncomfortable in the
term "Master". Perhaps that term was a poor translation of the Japanese word "Sensei" and teacher would
have been a better word. Others see the proliferation of Reiki Masters as something not to be desired and
something that cheapens their accomplishments. For those that paid dearly for the training and spent years
apprenticing, they feel that those that learn less expensively or do not intern as being less than masters. (It
is interesting to note that this exact problem is going on in the academic world. Those with Ph.D's are
seeing their prestige and ability to charge higher sums devalued by the glut of Ph.D.'s out there. There is
even talk of instituting a new degree even higher than a Ph.D. I have heard the term "Chancellor" thrown
about. If nothing else it is an interesting parallel.)
In Usui's Reiki Ryoho, the level of energy that you could channel was important. Reiki Ryoho used two
different scales. One was a scale from 6 to 1 (one being highest) indicating the energy level of the person.
The other scale indicated the level of teaching you have received and is the closest to the "levels" in the
west. Usui placed himself at energy level 2. He did not claim to be level I to motivate his students to work
hard. Practices such as Gassho Breathing and Hatsurei ho were taught by Usui to strengthen the reiki
channel, and build up one's internal chi. These were empowering techniques that slowly over time
strengthened you.
FEE STRUCTURES
Current Fees for practice and training vary considerably. Some Masters feel they should charge only for
their time, as Reiki (the energy) is free. Alliance members charge set fees for training. These days, the
current fees for non-Alliance members vary greatly. The average would be about $150 for level I, $300 for
level II, and $800 for level III.

In terms of treatments, a fair guide as to what to charge is whatever a massage would cost. In terms of
training, that is entirely up to you. As a libertarian, I believe things are worth whatever people are willing to
pay for them. Libertarian leanings aside, you can base your fees on what is usual and customary in the
area, or charge what you think is fair. Tied up in all this is can be your sense of self worth and the idea of
the value of your time and commitment.
TRADEMARK / LAWS
In 1997, Phyllis Furumoto and the Reiki Alliance attempted to Trademark the words "Reiki", and "Usui Shiki
Ryoho". Their rationale was that others were adding things on to traditional Usui Reiki, as they defined it,
and they wanted to make sure the public knew the difference and a trade mark would allow them to be able
to determine what was "Usui Shiki Ryoho". Others in the Reiki Community (the vast majority of practitioners
and masters are NOT alliance members) felt this was a usurpation of their ability to use the word Reiki, and
an attempt to control the practice of Reiki. There was a lot of bad blood in the community following this act.
Some expressed the attitude that the Alliance saw their power base and control slipping through others
offering reduced rate Masterships. The Alliance, for its part, did not help the situation by having statements
on Mrs. Furumoto's website (http://www.furumoto.org/) in letters that masters charging less than $10,000
were creating a deficit economy and implying that charging less than the full 10,000 would result in
incomplete energy and less than perfect attunements. Although the trademark attempt failed because the
word Reiki had been in the public domain for over 50 years in this country, the ill will that the attempt
generated continues to this day.
Several groups have attempted to pass laws regulating the practice of Reiki in several states. The most
current attempts were in Texas, New York and Florida. In Texas, the legislation was crafted so that only
members of the Reiki Alliance and Reiki Touch (and those trained by Alliance masters) could be considered
Reiki Masters under law. It also set specific fees for training (10,000 dollars for the Master level) and severe
penalties for violating the law. As of this writing it was fiercely opposed and most likely will fail. Although the
Alliance denied involvement in the Texas law, their name being named on the legislation did nothing to help
the already contentious atmosphere in the Reiki Community. In New York, the board of Massage therapists,
tried to legislate Reiki under the auspices of the Massage therapy Board and Laws. After witnessing a
demonstration of Reiki, the board decided that Reiki was not massage and dropped the legislative attempt.
The most current attempt pending is in Florida, where the massage board has usurped the right of Reiki
Practitioners to legally practice. The board has placed Reiki under the auspices of massage law, even
thought there is no manipulation of tissue as in massage. The matter will now have to be settled
legislatively.
SPIRITUALITY
Reiki is not a religion. It developed out of some very exciting religious times in Japan and the world. At that
time many great spiritual people were seeing the great light. Mokichi Okada, the founder of Johrei (Meishu-
Sama) developed the religion Johrei (also the name of their God). Johrei is both a religion and a practice of
channeling the Great Light of God. Johrei is similar in application to Reiki, although philosophically very
different. Although Johrei can heal, its purpose is to bring the light into people and clear away the clouds
that formed on their spiritual selves that block the light of God. Amazing healing have been recorded as a
result of this practice and the Johrei Fellowship Worldwide does extensive medical research on the subject.
GUIDES – ANGELS – PSYCHIC ABILITIES –EXPECTATIONS
14
In many of the Reiki books available today, there is talk about meeting your Reiki Guides, seeing auras and
angels, increases in your psychic abilities and a whole host of others abilities that the author states followed
an attunement. Indeed, some people do experience these things. However it needs to be pointed out that
none of these things were in the original system by Usui. Usui was a contemporary of Morihei Tanaka.
Tanaka created a healing art that used spirits in healing called Dai Rei Jitsu. Since we know that Tanaka
had these practices, in Reiki they are conspicuous by there absense. One can only conclude that since
Usui knew Tanaka and his practices that they are absent from Reiki because they are not part of the
system.
A story Hawayo Takata tells that once she began to develop psychic abilities after practicing Reiki for a
time. She asked Hayashi about it when he visited her in Hawaii. He asked her, "Do you want to be a psychic
or do you want to practice Reiki?". She chose the Reiki.
It is my opinion that many authors do Reiki and the public a great disservice in telling them to expect all
sorts of fireworks, bells and whistles following an attunement. People experience guides, angels, and
psychic abilities, when they are READY to receive them. Just as an attunement will not make me a
championship caliber baseball player, it will also not make me psychic. Reiki Attunements and practicing
Reiki help to open us up spiritually and are a wonderful connection to the source of all. Do not promise
people what you cannot deliver. In the end it will harm your reputation as a healer and damage the
credibility of Reiki itself.
Mudras in Reiki and Healing
On these Pages you will find information on Mudras and some of the Raku Kai Mudras. Some of you might
be wondering why I am choosing to include these Mudras here on a site about Reiki. The answer to that is
both simple and complex. A short while back, I learned that there were Mudras used in Raku Kai Reiki.
You can view these by clicking this link. There are also mudras used in Karuna Ki. To View these, click the
link below.
Raku Kai Reiki Mudras
Karuna Ki Mudras (for Healing and Strengthening the channel)
In my martial arts training, I had seen these hand positions and been taught them some 17 years
previously. When I was taught them, it was not necessarily in the context of healing, but in the context of
inner cultivation and energy work and development. Once I learned that they were part of Raku Kai Reiki, I
began to reevaluate my knowledge of these positions and to apply them in healing as they were used in
Raku Kai Reiki.
Of particular interest to me was that the first four hand positions (Rin, Kyo, Toh, Sha) seemed to have the
same meanings as the four traditional Reiki Symbols and I have speculated that their might be some
connection.
These three hand positions used in Raku Kai Reiki are part of a larger set known as the Kuji-in or "Nine
Hands Cutting", or "Cutting the Nine Ideographs". They were also referred to as the "Shuji Shuriken". They
were used to develop your mental abilities, your ability to control and use energy, and to increase one's Ki,
and for protection. These Mudras are seen not only in Japan, but also in Chinese Taoist practices and
Hindu and Tibetan Tantra. In Japan, the practice of "cutting the nine ideographs" was taken up by yin-yang
practitioners, some Buddhists, Samurai, and ninja. Some swordsmen and ninja performed it in the morning
after arising or before combat or engaging and enemy.

Each Mudra was performed with meditation, breathing and in invocation/mantra. The mantras are included

The entire set was sometimes called the "Jumon Vow" The vow was the mantras "Rin, Kyo, Toh, Sha, Kai,
Jin, Retsu, Zai, Zen". In the Zai section there is a discussion of how all these fit together to form a
complete pattern and path to enlightenment.
The links below will take you to the pages with pictures of the Kuji Kiri. Included are the mantras that are
spoken when using the position as well as two views of the picture.
It is important to state here that it is imperative that the mental focus be correct. This is more important than
having exact finger positions. That being said, the hand positions line up and direct the energy in the body.
The hands represent a microcosm of the elemental relationship of the universe. The meridians terminate in
the hands and taking the Mudras helps a practitioner to direct the flow of energy in the body along these
channels.
Each cut represents one of the Nine levels of power. Your understanding of this will change with time and
practice. This is something that is learned by doing and the significance of each will increase with time and
effort.
Kuji-kiri: The Nine Cuts
Rin - Strength Kyo - Direction of Energy Toh - Harmony
Sha - Healing Kai – Premonition
Jin- Knowing the thoughts of others [Way of the Mind Gate] Retsu - Mastery of Time and Space
Zai - Control [Thousand Petal Lotus] Zen - Enlightenment
It is easiest to learn these once at a time. In practice and application they are done one after the other,
activating each channel and energy. The practice of doing this is best done with meditation and
contemplating the meaning of each cut individually. The meaning of each will vary with each student's
understanding and time spent using the cut. With practice and insight, and a pure heart the meaning will
deepen and increase over time. Its applications will also become more apparent.
To get the most benefit from these activities, using breathing techniques and meditation is necessary. This
will be added shortly. When using the Mudra, focus on where you feel the pulse in the hands.
Raku Kei Reiki Mudras
These are the Raku Kai Mudras. The origin is suspected to be from Aurthur Robertson. Included is the
Mudra, a brief description and the name as it would by used from other sources.
Kanji Position #1 - SHA
Position #1 is the fingers interlaced with the two index fingers extended and
placed together. Concentrate on the point where you feel the pulse,
usually where the finger tips touch. Note the position of the thumbs, they
are not crossed. This was used for spiritual healing. It was also used to
cause distant healing. It was taught that this was done before any type of Reiki healing session. It was
thought to bring spiritual energy into the channels in the body.
This position is called SHA in other systems. It is used to balance the energy in the body, and develop the
heavenly chi and spiritual power. It was used to heal self and others. This was done in conjunction with a
meditation that focused on seeing the bodily fire and connecting to the fire of the universe. This would
seem analogous to the Reiki Dai Ko Mio symbol in application of bringing in the spiritual light and healing.
Kanji Position #2 - RIN
Position #2 is the fingers interlaced with the two middle fingers extended
and tips touching. Note the position of the thumbs which are crossed.
This was used to increase the efficacy of a hands on healing
session.and to promote balance. It was thought to help connect to the power and energy and allow it to flow
more readily in the channels.
This position is called RIN in other systems. Rin is to help connect to the power or energy of the universe
(cosmic energy) and increase the power in the body. It is interesting that in Raku Kai that this position was
chosen for this. It would seemingly be analogous to the intent of the Cho Ku Rei symbol in function.
Kanji Position #3 - JIN
Position #3 is the fingers folded inward and all interconnecting. The thumbs cross
and also are inward to the palm. It was described in Raku Kai as bringing knowing.
It facilitates a connection to the subconscious mind of the client and helps correct
imbalances in the client.
This position is called JIN in other systems. It was thought to help you Know the thoughts of others. It
increased the empathic abilities and increased the ability to feel the thoughts of others. At the highest level
one could sense others thoughts and feelings as well as hide your own thoughts, feeling and intent. It is
unclear why this would have been included in Raku Kai as there is no similarity to any of the Reiki Symbols
or practices.
Karuna Ki Mudras
There are two mudras used in Karuna Ki. Kai is used for developing intuition in treating. Sha is used to
develop and strengthen the Karuna Ki Channel and bring about health, clarity of mind and purpose, and the
cultivation of compassion.
Karuna Ki Meditation to develop and strengthen the Channel using the Sha Mudra
Sha Mudra and Healing Meditation
This is a meditation using the Sha Mudra to help develop and
strengthen the Karuna Ki Channel. This is taught to all Karuna Ki
Students and they are strongly ecouraged to practice this daily.
Consistent practice clears and focuses the mind and helps one to
cultivate compassion toward all beings.
This Mudra is called Sha in Japanese. It is also used in Taoism,
some Tibetan arts, and in Ninjutsu. Sha is used for Healing of Self and
Others, and ro develop and strengthen the inner channel-. It was said
that those that mastered the Inner connections using Sha would
develop an inner power and would no longer succumb to viruses and
other afflictions. In this mudra the index fingers and thumbs are
extended while the other fingers are interlocked. Using Sha is an

excellent mudra to use when meditating. When doing any of the Karuna Ki Meditations you can use the Sha
Mudra as you meditate. Additionally, it can be used when doing healings. Before you actually begin doing
the healing, place the hands in Sha, connect to the Karuna Ki energy, focus on the compassion of the
source and let the energy flow into the hands. Then separate the palms and begin healing.
Sha is used for healing self and others. Using this Mudra in the meditation below helps to increase within us
health, vitality and healing strength. The following exercise can help to fully develop the use of Sha. To do
this, first place your hands in the Sha Mudra. This activity helps link the pathways within the body. By
forming the Sha Mudra with the hands the appropriate pathways of energy are linked within the body. This
brings health and knowing. The activity helps increase your inner strength, expands your channel, expand
the mind and the ability to sense self and others and to remove fear.
Breathe in through the nose and out of the nose. Empty your mind by focusing only on the breathing. If that
is difficult, count slowly to seven on the inhalation and to seven on the exhalation. If other thoughts arise,
pay them no mind and let them slip away. Focus within and on the flow of energy within the body and on the
spirit.
Deep within us burns a Fire, behind the hara and it is the area of Personal Chi. This meditation replenishes
our personal chi with the compassionate loving energy of Karuna Ki (or Reiki, etc.) and strengthens us,
reduces stress and anxiety, and increases our ability to channel the energy.
Focus on the Hara, or slightly behind it. Some people see or visualize this as see it as a ball of light, fire or
heat. Visualize the ball of fire deep within you, behind the Hara. Connect to Karuna Ki or Reiki energy. This
activity is to focus on the fire and to make it burn brighter and
warmer and to increase its radiance throughout the body.
As you breathe in the breath, the loving light energy (Use
Reiki or Karuna Ki) comes in energy comes in through the
crown (top of head). See the energy move down to behind
the Hara area and see if fill the area making the light there
grow, and brighten. You will feel energized. When you feel
energized and filled, allow the energy to expand outwards and
through your body spreading ever outward further and further
to the top of the head, the tips of the toes and the tips of the
fingers. See it spread through all the organs. Focus on the
Mudra, and hold it between the sternum and the hara. Breath
in through the hands and into the hara, and on the exhale
from the hara out through the hands. Do this for 10 minutes or so. When done, focus the mind back on the
Hara. Allow your consciousness to return to normal. Stand, and shake the hands three times, and then the
feet three times.
Once you master this breathing technique, you can do this activity any time by using the mudra and just
concentrating on breathing and increasing the light. Done regularly it
strengthens the body and mind, and increases the vitality of the body. Like with
Karuna Ki or Reiki, you will notice that the hands will be very hot when doing
this and after. This can be done with any of the other Kuji-in hand positions.
The Third Cut - Toh
16
Mantra - ON JI RE TA RA SHI I TA RA JI BA RA TA NO-O SO WA KA
Toh means Harmony with the Universe.
Harmony with the Universe is with the Universe all around us. It can be be peace with all beings or peace
and harmony within oneself. It is an appreciation of all life. It is being free of fear. With Toh we connect to
the patterns of the universe and see in totality.
Toh may be used with the Sei Hei Ki or Harmony symbol. It can be used in meditations with the Sei Hei Ki
or prior to using the symbol in treatment.
Toh is formed by connecting the fourth fingers on both hands and the fifth fingers on both hands making a
"v". The thumbs are extended, and the remaining fingers interlock.
The Fourth Cut - Sha
Mantra - ON HA YA BAI SHIRA MA TA YA SO WA KA
Sha is Healing. It is the healing of self and others. With Sha you connect to
the inner universe. Consistent use of Sha helps develop an inner peace with
in yourself. It is a loving relationship to the physical body.
This position is called SHA in other systems. It is used to balance the energy
in the body, and develop the heavenly chi and spiritual power. It was used to
heal self and others. This was done in conjunction with a meditation that
focused on seeing the bodily fire and connecting to the fire of the universe.
When you sense your inner power you will no longer sucumb to viruses and
other ailments. With Sha you have the ability to heal yourself and others by
directing the energy. This would seem analogous to the Reiki Dai Ko Mio symbol in application of bringing
in the spiritual light and healing. Sha is formed by extending the index fingers with the tips touching. The
thumbs are extended and the remaining fingers are interlocked. Focus on where you feel the pulse. The
source of Sha is in the solar plexus.
This is the #1 hand position in Raku Kai Reiki.
Scanning and Mudras
Karuna Ki uses two different scanning methods to determine areas needing treatment, hand scanning and
the Karuna Ki Scanning Method.
Hand Scanning - This is the traditional Scanning technique taught in Karuna, and other Systems. Scanning
is placing your hands into the energy or auric field of another to try to discern differences in their energy
field. You are essentially looking for anything different. Try to feel for hot spots, cold spots, tingling
sensations, obstructions. Start at the head and work to the feet and then back up.
Begin with the hands about 2 inches (4.5 centimeters) above the person's body. After the first pass,
increase the distance to about 6 inches (14 centimeters). Scanning is something that requires a great deal
of practice to become proficient at. (Remember, you do not diagnose since that is illegal to do in most
places without a medical license!) This is a tool to aid in treating. Make a mental note of the areas that feel
different. Ask your client if there is any specific illness associated with the area. This process is done to find
areas that need additional treatment. This also is done to guide hand placement which is more intuitive in
Karuna Ki.
Karuna Ki Scanning Method - This is the scanning method developed by Vince Amador for Karuna Ki. It
incorporates a hand position or Mudra and uses the third eye to help develop the intuition to find areas that

thought that at this level a master of Retsu was able to blend and shape Time and Space around themself.
Boxers often notice that in the ring time stands still and things appear in slow motion. When you are
interested in an activity and in the "Flow" time appear to pass in an instant when hours may have passed.
Controlling your own time is an ability that everyone has. With this knowledge you can use this. There are
some that think in the oneness of all there is no time, only the now, this moment. Living in the now you are
the master of time and space. To form Retsu, the index finger of the left hand is pointing up with the fingers
of the right hand curling round it. The thumb of the right hand is pressed against the outside edge of the nail
on the index finger of the left hand. Press in while inhaling for 9 heartbeats (about 7 seconds or so). This
hand position is known as Sho Yo or the large intestine meridian point #1. It is used in acupuncture to treat
fever and diarehhea.
The First Cut - Rin
Mantra - ON BAI SHIRA MAN TO YA SO WA KA
Rin means Power, or Strength of Mind and Body. Some may think that this
means physical strength, and for them it might. Others may think it means
mental or emotional strength and for them it may also mean that. Others
might think is means strength of character or moral strength and again for
them it may mean that. It could also mean the power of God. What is Power,
what is Strength? St. Paul said, "When I am weak, that is when I am strong",
what did he mean?
Rin represents the Vajra Thunderbolt of Tibetan Buddhism. It destroys
Ignorance and creates inner peace, power and wisdom. Rin is spirituality in
daily life.
It is possible that Rin can be used in meditation and practice in conjuntion with the Cho Ku Rei symbol,
since they seem to share the similarity of purpose.
Rin is formed by interlocking the fingers, thumbs crossed with the middle fingers extended. Focus the
energy and attention on the point where you feel the pulse.
This is the #2 Hand position in Raku Kai Reiki.
The Second Cut - Kyo
Mantra - ON I SHA NA YA IN TA RA YA SO
WA KA
Kyo means connection to or the Direction of
Energy. It is the great diamond of spiritual
knowledge and higher consciousness. Kyo
helps harmonize the flow of internal energy.
18
This can represent connecting to the Cosmic energy and bringing it in to use, directing and using your
energies, or it can mean directing internal or external energy to increase your inner power. It may also refer
to using energy to direct thigs elsewhere, or using energy to deflect negativity or attacks.
It is possible that Kyo can be used with the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen symbol. The purpose of Kyo is
connection, and direction of energy. It can be used in meditation when contemplating the Hon Sha Ze Sho
Nen, or prior to using the symbol in treatment.
To form Kyo, wrap the middle fingers around the index fingers, thumbs parellel and extended with the
remaining fingers interlocked.
This manual and information is for Karuna Ki Masters, Practitioners and students. If you have not had some
Usui Reiki Training, this information will be of little use to you or make little sense. This Manual is here for
my students, and those interested in learning or participating in Karuna Ki.
Karuna Ki
Introduction and Overview
Karuna Ki is an art that I developed from my practices with Karuna and the Karuna Symbols. Karuna Ki is
the Way of Compassionate Energy and a Healing and Meditative practice using the Karuna Ki energy and
symbols to be the Divine Heart of Compassion.
The History of Karuna Ki tries to be balanced in its understanding of how the Karuna arts came to be, and
tries to give due credit to those who invested time and effort in its development. Karuna Ki represents my
development and practice with the Karuna, the symbols, Karuna Ki Do meditations and other practices.
Karuna Ki shares the symbols and early development with Karuna ReikiÒ, and Tera MaiÔ Reiki. Karuna
Ki has new attunements and Karuna Ki Do meditations, and is a new development apart from either Karuna
ReikiÒ and Tera MaiÔ Reiki. The basic principle of Karuna Ki is the connection to (and becoming) the
embodiment of compassion both for healing self and others, and to send healing and compassion to all
creation. The attunement and subsequent meditations link us to the compassion of God (which we all
already are and have!), and it is through this power that we heal. During the healing we strive to reflect
compassion and love not only to those we heal, but to all creation. For those uncomfortable with the use of
"God", this principle is reflected wonderfully in the Buddhist Goddess of Compassion, Kuan Yin (Kannon in
Japanese). This is a "heart centered compassion" and a heart centered healing. It is sharing in the
compassion of God, or the compassion of Kuan Yin for all the universe. It is only in this perfect love that
one is truly healed.
Similarities and Differences to other Karuna Arts and Systems
Karuna Ki evolved from other Karuna arts. Similarities include that it shares the Symbols Zonar, Halu,
Harth, Rama, Gnosa, Kriya, Shanty, Iava, Om, Fire Serpent, and the Tibetan Master Symbol.
Karuna ReikiÒ uses a process of 4 attunements. In reality there are only 2 attunements. There is a Karuna
I and a Karuna II attunement. When learning Karuna Practitioner Level I, you receive the first of the two
attunements. When you learn Karuna Practitioner Level II, you receive the second attunement. When you
learn the two master levels, you receive the same attunements again with the intent that they be master
attunements this time. In Tera MaiÔ Reiki, there are three attunements. These are Level I, Level II, and
Master Level. There is also a Water ceremony and a Yod initiation.
19
Karuna Ki is very different. It has a two faceted attunement system. For those who are already Reiki or
Seichim Masters, there is a Singular Karuna Ki Master Attunement that attunes you to all the symbols to the
Master level in one attunement. For those with less than master energy work, there is a three leveled
attunement system. The theoretical underpinnings of this are discussed in more depth in the attunement
section of this manual.
It should be noted that I do not claim anything supernatural or mystic in developing this Karuna Ki system
or these attunement processes. They do not come from Ascendant Masters, Channeled beings, "from God"
or anything else. They come from a human being who studied carefully the process, how it worked and
what was necessary for it to work. These practices developed naturally out of my practices. These days,
there are many claims by some systems being "higher frequency", "faster healing" and "better than Usui
Reiki". It must be noted that the Karuna Ki System makes none of these claims. Karuna Ki is offered as a
healing art and spiritual practice. No other claims are made than that. As the founder of this style of Karuna
Ki, I acknowledge that meditation and practice of any energy system or art has the effect of increasing your
capacity to handle energy as well as your own personal vibration. That includes consistent practice with
Usui Reiki or personal meditation.
In developing Karuna Ki, I have redesigned and incorporated new developments in a manner that I
personally feel resonates better for with the Way of Compassionate Energy. I have designed new
meditations, developed new uses for the symbols, and designed new attunements. Karuna Ki is a
unique creation that is separate and different from the Sai Baba Reiki and Karuna ReikiÒ .
The Karuna Ki System - Trademarks, Registrations and Controls
The Karuna Ki System respects the traditional sanctity of the Teacher and Student Relationship, which has
stood the test of time for centuries. It is my belief that the healing and teaching relationship should be an
individual relationship free of outside controls, conflicting loyalties, and other requirements. This is the case
with the vast majority of the Independent Usui Reiki Masters. As such, the Karuna Ki system is offered as
an alternative. The Karuna Ki system is free of trademarks, registrations, conflicting loyalties and external
controls. It is a system, like Usui Reiki, that is for everyone. Teachers of this system are free to add
material as they see fit to address the needs of their individual students.
This manual is Copyright by Vincent Amador 1999. It is offered for Karuna Ki Teachers to use, without
obligation, with the exception that if it is used in a class as a student manual that it is given in its entirety.
Karuna Ki Teachers are always free to use their own materials, develop their own materials, establish
whatever requirements for certification that they wish for their individual students and teach however they
choose. Those who are Karuna Masters from other Karuna traditions finding themselves disinfranchised
due to registration issues are welcome to practice Karuna Ki, and free to use the name for their practice. It
is not trademarked and open to all. The manual is a resource for all to use. It will be updated regularly.
Karuna Ki Do Meditations
In Karuna Ki Do Meditations, there are four types of meditations. Of primary importance in the Karuna Ki
System is the meditation to strengthen and develop the Channel. There are also meditations to expand the
oneness of the loving heart centered compassion and to share it with all the universe; meditations with the
symbols; and Toning in mediitation.
The first type of Karuna Ki Meditation, is an activity that uses a mudra (hand positon) and specific breathing
to focus on strengthening the healing channel, increasing the personal chi, and healing the self. In
conjunction with the attunements, it forms the basis of the system and transmission of the energy.
Consistent practice clears and focuses the mind and helps one to cultivate compassion toward all beings.
The second type is to meditate on the Compassionate energy that is Karuna Ki and to use that to expand
your awareness. The meditation also allows you to expand your compassionate awareness to all the
universe.
The third type of Karuna Ki Do Meditation is with the symbols. Meditation with the Karuna Symbols can help
to develop the connection with the symbols and thus the connection to the Compassionate Heart that is the
basis of this system. There are many ways to meditate on the symbols. The simplest is to use a meditation
that you already use and to draw the symbols before you, concentrate on the connection to the energy and
contemplate the individual meaning of the symbol.
The fourth practice in Karuna Ki Do Meditation, is using Toning. This practice can be used in either of the
first type of Karuna Ki Do Meditation, to change or enhance the effects.
Specific exercises are listed below. These are my practices. Trust in yourself and your intuition.
Experiement and see if these work for you. Consistent practice is the key. To do these Karuna Ki Do
Meditations, use guidelines that anyone doing meditation of any sort might follow. Get yourself into a
comfortable position. Sitting in a comfortable chair that allows your spine to be erect is good. Placing your
hands on your lap and having your feet comfortably touch the floor generally works well. Relaxing the body
using some deep breathing, or muscular relaxation can sometimes help. As with all meditation, if your mind
wanders while meditating, allow the thoughts to slip away, paying them no mind, and gently refocus. Having
done that, breathe slow and deep, shut your eyes and focus on the feeling of love and compassion.
Sometimes it helps to allow that sensation to begin in your palms. Allow the Karuna Ki Do to pour into you
and intend that it do so. Remember that the feeling of this system is one of total compassion and love in the
oneness of all creation. Let your mind stay on this sensation and feeling. Now allow the loving and
compassionate feel of the Source to be with you as the energy flows into you. Stay with this feeling for a
time and then when you are ready, you can begin to meditate on the symbols.
The Symbols and their Meanings
This list is a summary. For more specific aspects of the symbols refer to the Karuna Ki Symbols Page.
Zonar - Zonar helps us to work through and release karma and pain. Work at this by sending this loving
compassion of Karuna throughout yourself at a cellular level during the meditation.
Halu - Clears the mind of delusion and denial. It can clear and open a channel to higher consciousness. It
can also be used to dispel psychic and/or psychological attack.
Harth - Symbol for the heart from which healing and love flow. This helps one develop the highest
compassion and is the base symbol of Karuna Ki. Use it to heal the the heart and issues of the heart.
Rama - Connect with the abiding joy that is the Compassion of Ram or God. Also use it to ground to the
six directions, connect with the earth energy, and to open, connect and balance the lower chakras to the
earth.

fire. Used specifically here to balance.
Usui Dai Ko Mio - The Great Shining Light. It is a pure connection to the source and the Karuna (loving
compassion of God for all creation).
Tibetan Dai Ko Mio - revitalizes and energizes the center of each chakra, and the unification of the body
and mind.
Karuna Ki Do Meditation Number One
Developing the Channel
Karuna Ki Do Meditation #1 is done using the Sha Mudra and focuses on strengthening the healing
channel, increasing the personal chi, and healing the self. This is also described on the Karuna Ki Mudra
Page.
This is a meditation using the Sha Mudra to help develop and strengthen the
Karuna Ki Channel. This practice is one of the most basic skills in Karuna Ki
and is fundamental in cultivating both mental clarity, health and compassion.
This is taught to all Karuna Ki Students and they are strongly ecouraged to
practice this daily. Consistent practice clears and focuses the mind and helps
one to cultivate compassion toward all beings.
This Mudra is called Sha in Japanese. It is also used in Taoism, some
Tibetan arts, and in Ninjutsu. Sha is used for Healing of Self and Others, and
ro develop and strengthen the inner channel-. It was said that those that
mastered the Inner connections using Sha would develop an inner power and would no longer succumb to
viruses and other afflictions. In this mudra the index fingers and thumbs are extended while the other fingers
are interlocked. Using Sha is an excellent mudra to use when meditating. When doing any of the Karuna Ki
Meditations you can use the Sha Mudra as you meditate. Additionally, it can be used when doing healings.
Before you actually begin doing the healing, place the hands in Sha, connect to the Karuna Ki energy, focus
on the compassion of the source and let the energy flow into the hands. Then separate the palms and begin
healing.
Sha is used for healing self and others. Using this Mudra in the meditation below helps to increase within us
health, vitality and healing strength. The following exercise can help to fully develop the use of Sha. To do
this, first place your hands in the Sha Mudra. This activity helps link the pathways within the body. By
forming the Sha Mudra with the hands the appropriate pathways of energy are linked within the body. This
brings health and knowing. The activity helps increase your inner strength, expands your channel, expand
the mind and the ability to sense self and others and to remove fear.

Breathe in through the nose and out of the nose. Empty your mind by focusing only on the breathing. If that
is difficult, count slowly to seven on the inhalation and to seven on the exhalation. If other thoughts arise,
pay them no mind and let them slip away. Focus within and on the flow of energy within the body and on the
spirit.
Deep within us burns a Fire, behind the hara and it is the area of Personal Chi. This meditation replenishes
our personal chi with the compassionate loving energy of Karuna Ki (or Reiki, etc.) and strengthens us,
reduces stress and anxiety, and increases our ability to channel the energy.
Focus on the Hara, or slightly behind it. Some people see or visualize this as see it as a ball of light, fire or
heat. Visualize the ball of fire deep within you, behind the Hara. Connect to Karuna Ki or Reiki energy. This
activity is to focus on the fire and to make it burn brighter and warmer and to increase its radiance
throughout the body. As you breathe in the breath, the loving light energy (Use Reiki or Karuna Ki) comes in

through all the organs. Focus on the Mudra, and hold it between the sternum and the hara. Breath in
through the hands and into the hara, and on the exhale from the hara out through the hands. Do this for 10
minutes or so. When done, focus the mind back on the Hara. Allow your consciousness to return to
normal. Stand, and shake the hands three times, and then the feet three times. Once you master this
breathing technique, you can do this activity any time by using the mudra and just concentrating on
breathing and increasing the light. Done regularly it strengthens the body and mind, and increases the
vitality of the body. Like with Karuna Ki or Reiki, you will notice that the hands will be very hot when doing
this and after. This can be done with any of the other Kuji-in hand positions.
Karuna Ki Do Meditation Number Two
Karuna Ki Compassion Meditation
In this meditation we will use all the symbols and connect to the Loving Compassionate Heart of the
Universe. We will center this in our hearts and then send it out to all the universe. Begin by breathing in
deep breaths through the nose and out through the mouth. Visualize the symbols and draw them in your
mind (it is ok to have a picture of them if you have not memorized them yet!) Draw the Zonar, Halu, Harth,
Rama, Gnosa, Kriya, Iava, Shanty, Usui Dai Ko Mio, Tibetan Dai Ko Mio, and finally the Om. Feel the
peaceful energy of the compassion that is Karuna Ki flow all around you.
Now, focus on the energy of the universe, all the stars, the planets, everything. Focus on breathing in all
the energy in the universe, pulling it into you, energizing you, filling you completely. Let yourself be filled
with the peaceful, loving, compassionate energy of the universe. Breathe in pure loving compassionate
energy and breathe out all the toxins and negative things not in your highest good. Stay with this feeling as
long as you wish. It is in this loving compassion that we experience the oneness of all things (whether that
be "we are all one in Christ's love", or "in the love of compassion for all souls to reach enlightenment", that is
Kuan Yin). Now, think of the feeling of loving compassion, and concentrate on breathing in that. This is the
Karuna Ki Do. When breathing out send that out to every part of the universe. Do this for a time and then
when you are ready, allow yourself to fill every part of you with this energy. Begin at the toes and let your
21
body and energy field fill totally until you brin with this wonderous feeling loving energy. When finished,
slowly allow yourself to reorient to your surroundings and then go out and be this compassion to all.
Karuna Ki Do Meditation Number Three
Karuna Ki Symbol Meditation
Choose a symbol to work with. Either draw it in front of you or visualize it in your mind. Say the name of the
symbol (either out loud or in your head). Visualize the symbol as golden, intensely bright and empowered
with the loving energy of the Source. Allow it to flow into you, and for any message it might have for you to
manifest. Stay focused on the symbol and the Compassionate Karuna Ki energy flow and the source. Allow
the symbol and energy to show you what that means. Stay with this as long as you feel comfortable. Focus
on your breathing. Breathe in the compasion and love of all the universe, and then on the exhale radiate
out that love to all living beings. When done with the symbol, feel the connection to the source and see the
symbol fully activate and experience the oneness of the source.
When you are finished, draw all the Karuna Ki Do symbols in front of you saying their names. Thank the
Source for sharing this with you. At this point, you are likely to be filled with energy and this would be a good
time to work on doing self-treatments, treating others, doing distant healing, manifesting goals, charging
your reiki crystals. Grounding yourself is important! If you are not grounded, you might find yourself light
headed and dizzy after this meditation. Find something that is grounding and do it. You can place your
palms on the earth, go for a walk, visualize roots running to the center of the earth and connecting, drink
water or whatever works for you. You can also put your tongue on the soft pallate (just behind the teeth),
draw the power symbol on the feet, that hara (just below the naval) and the palms. Place your palms on the
hara and concentrate on that area for a few minutes. This tends to bring the excess energy from the upper
chakras and into the hara. Any method of grounding works and keeps the dizzies from happening!
There are many symbols in Karuna and thus the symbol you choose to do the meditation on depends on the
particular aspect of the energy you with to explore more fully. Ideally all of them should be done over time,
with a minimum of a week spent on each one. There are an infinite number of possibilities of Karuna Ki Do
Symbol Meditations possible. You can do it focusing only on the connection to the Karuna Ki source. You
can add other meditative practices such as light body meditations, or Mer-Ka-Ba. Experiement and know
that just as the human creators of the Karuna Systems used their intuition and guides to develop their
practices, you can develop your own as well!
Karuna Ki Do Meditation Number Four
Toning Meditation
This fourth practice of Karuna Ki Do Meditation is to add the toning and chanting aspects of Karuna
Ki healing into the meditative practice. Meditation techniques such are Transcendental Meditation, Praying
the Rosary, the Tibetan "Om Mani Padme Hum" to for Kuan Yin's assistance are all examples of chanting
from many faiths. To use this Karuna Ki Do technique, simply decide on what symbols, or what aspect of
the energy you are trying to manifest. Then use those symbols names as mantras when performing Karuna Know and intent that no psychic or psychological attacks can harm you in the oneness of this love. raise
Ki Do Meditation One or Two. Some possible combinations might be Om-Shanty-Om, or Om-shanty- your hands and send this loving energy to those that might be attacking. Both Jesus and Ghandi believed
shanty-Om, Om-Gnosa-Om, or Om-Iava-Om. Many patterns are possible using the symbols names and in "loving your enemies" and "praying for those that persecute you". This technique is the embodiment of
the intent of the symbol as the guide to what you are trying to accomplish. that belief.
Karuna Ki Symbols
You can use the Karuna Ki symbols just like using the Usui Reiki symbols. They can be drawn at the
beginning of a session to gain rapport with the Karuna, they can be drawn on the palms prior to healing, or
they can be drawn on the person receiving helaing. The names of the symbols can be chanted or in-toned
(as previously described). The following descriptions of these symbols are complied
from various sources including Light and Adonea's Karuna Manual,
Kathleen Milner's Books, and from various Karuna Websites on the Web.
Zonar
This symbol is pronounced "zoe nar". It was channeled by
Marcy Miller and purportedly given to Marcy from Sai Baba
during a meditation. Zonar means "infinity" or eternity. To draw
the symbol, first draw the "Z" and then the infinity three times. This symbol is
thought to work with past lives. The theory being that the cells carry the
memory of trauma, and ideas from both this life and previous lives. This
symbols is thought to help us work through these issues and release them
and the associated Karma. Because of this it is thought to work well with child abuse. It
is also to help with things or formulate issues not clearly defined, and allow us to open ourselves to the
awareness of these issues and our humanity. Lastly it is used for dimensional access. In Karuna Ki, the
specific technique for using Zonar is to connect to the loving compassionate energy of the divine source
which is infinite, and use this infinite love for healing.
Halu
This symbol is pronounced "hay-lou" It was channeled by Kathleen and Marcy and was
given purportedly by Sai baba during a meditation. Halu means love, truth,and beauty. It
can also mean harmony. It is supposed to be a deeper ray of healing. This symbol is
an amplification of Zonar. To draw this, the Z is completed and the pyramid is added.
Halu is thought to be more powerful than Zonar and works in higher dimensions and
at deeper levels. Halu is said to restore balance. It is thought to bring about "deep
healing" at causal and karmic levels. Like the Usui Reiki symbol, Sei Hei Ki, it is
supposed to help dissolve negative patterns in the unconscious mind that we use to
keep ourselves from truth, and also to break up delusion and denial. It is also
used to open a channel to higher consciousness. It can be used to repel and
dispel psychic attack and psychological attacks. To use Halu for this purpose,
draw the symbol in the air and connect at your heart center to the divine
compassion. Infuse and surround yourself with the symbol and this energy.
 22

Harth This symbol is pronounced "kree yah". It represents perfect balance. It

This symbol is pronounced exactly as spelled. It was channeled by Kathleen was channeled by Pat Miller. It is also called "Chokurei" by Kathleen Milner,
Milner and Marcy Miller. Harth means Love, Truth, Beauty, Harmony and or double chokurei by others. Kriya means action. The Law of Kriya is

integration (Kathleen Milner and William Rand state this occurs on 7 dimensions). Shanty is used in the
attunement, drawing over the body and sweeping off the hands (resting on knees), saying, "You are filled
with Divine Peace".
Dumo
This symbol is pronounced "do moe". (Also known as Tibetan Master
Symbol or Tibetan Dai Ko Mio.) It represents the swirling fiery heat of the
Kundalini. Dumo or Dumo Fire is the heat which ascends over the spine as a
result of Kundalini awakening. The unification of mind and body produce the
emanation of heat. Heat is the lowest range of vibration, radiating out to
produce form (Body). Dumo is the igniter of the Sacred Flame or Kundalini
fire. Dumo unifies the mind and body and works with the fire in the base
chakra. Dumo pulls negative energy and disease out of a body, room, or
situation and releases it. It is thought to heals the soul, brings spiritual
growth. It can be
used on crystals to self-clear. Dumo's main focus is healing. It is used in
the attunement process with Violet Breath where it is visualized in gold. It is
not the goddess spiral used in Wiccan based faiths.
Usui Dai Ko Mio
The Usui Master Symbol is used as the highest level of healing. In the Usui Reiki
System it is used in all healings. The name of the symbol can mean "Great Being of the
Universe Shine on Me". It can also mean the "great shining light". It is Zen
expression for one's own true nature or Buddha-nature, through which one becomes
cognizant in the experience of enlightenment or satori. The spiritual body is thought
to be the template from which the physical body emerges. It is thought that all
disease comes from clouds forming on the
spiritual body, and the Dai Ko Mio cleanses and
heals the spiritual body. It is used in the
attunements and for healing. The Usui Dai Ko
Mio is used in Karuna Ki as a representation
of the total connection to the compassion of
the divine source.
Tibetan Fire Serpent
The Fire Serpent represents the "Sleeping Serpent" coiling at the base of
the spine. The fire Serpent is used during an attunement with horizontal
line over top of crown, snaking down the spine, and spiraling clockwise at base of spine; grounds energy
into lower (feet to tailbone) body. By reversing the spiral (counter-clockwise) starting at base of spine,
snaking up spine and ending with horizontal line over the crown; it pushes energy up to four upper chakras.
It does not allow energy to escape out of crown chakra. The fire serpent connects and opens all chakras. It
opens the central channel allowing the flow of Kundalini fire , or the " Dumo". It can be used in healing or
meditation for more balance and receptivity.
OM
This symbol is pronounced "Ah uu mm". It is a Sanskrit symbol used in
many eastern spiritual practices. Represents the Universe
functioning as a whole unit; A father/mother beckoning creation, U
= son/daughter the evolution of individual souls; and M absorbing of
all that is created. The sacred sound of the Universe. Om cleans,
stabilizes and seals the aura. It brings in light, purifies, protects and
connects with GOD. Om is chanted and visualized in gold by and
individual or in groups to be used for healing or psychic attunement; sound
psychically charges the air with prana which is under the direction of
thought and can be directed specifically. It is recognized
as the primal sound and chanted to control natural
manifestations; represents the three manifestations of all life:
creation, preservation and destruction Use in the initiation
process to seal in the other symbols or to seal each part of the attunement. Om opens
the crown and if drawn above the head opens a pathway to God and higher
consciousness.
Raku
Raku is used in passing attunements, but not in individual healings. Raku helps to lift
negative Karma, and takes the initiate to higher levels of consciousness. It activates
the Hara Line and brings Reiki energy in through the Ki channels, and grounds it in the Hara.
It is used at the end of an attunements in Karuna Ki Do to separate the auras of the master
and the student. Raku is an initiatory symbol.
Treatments and Healing Using the Symbols
Karuna Ki Treatments
In Karuna Ki, there are no specific hand positions as in Usui Reiki. When using Karuna Ki for healing, a
more intuitive apporach is used. Techniques such as scanning (sensing for changes in the recipient's
energy field) are used. Additionally, the practitioner of Karuna Ki is encouraged to use their own intuition by
placing their hands where they are guided. In a typical treatment using Karuna Ki, I generally do the first
four Usui Head positions. Next, I will perform scanning to sense for any changes in the energy field and
treat those. Lastly, I will allow myself to place my hands where they are guided to anyplace that might be in
need of treatment. In contrast, you can use the standard Usui Reiki hand positions and this will work nicely

as well. (To view different sets of hand positions, visit the Level I Reiki Manual on this site. For more
information about basic Scanning Techniques, visit the Level III Reiki Manual on this site.)
Karuna Ki Scanning
In Karuna Ki Scanning can be done using the basic scanning techniques or an advanced process using the
mudra "Kai" as part of the process. Both are effective. Using the Kai Mudra consistently helps develop the
ability to sense problem areas more readily. To read and learn about using the Kai Mudra in Scanning, click
the link to take you to the Karuna Ki Mudras Page.
Using the Symbols in Treatments
Described here is one possible use of the symbols in healing. There are as many different uses as you can
create. Necessity and intuition are wonderful teachers. First use Zonar. Zonar is a deep healing symbol
that connects to the infinite. It it cleansing. It also can help resolve issues left undone from relationships,
activities, situations (and/or lives?). Halu (like Sei Hei Ki) helps release and break up negative patterns and
emotional difficulties and beliefs that keep us from seeing reality as it truly is. Harth is the principle symbol
of the Karuna Ki system and is the symbol of loving compassion. Use is and let the compassion that is this
energy flow. Loving compassion is healing, restoring balance to energy and emotions. Rama grounds and
connects us from the source through to the earth. It is both grounding and clearing. Use Shanty next, to
help release the past, and to focus on living harmoniously in the moment, and to release the futures we
create for ourselves. Finally use Om to bring in wholeness into the life of the client, and to clean, stabilize
and seal the aura.
This is one possible sequence. Another possibility is to simply focus on the Karuna Ki energy and let it flow
and allow the energy to direct the session. This is the highest level of practice. We simply "be" and allow
the energy to flow with intuition as our guide.
Toning the Symbols in Treatments
The symbol names can be chanted or toned when performing a healing. Visualize the symbol in your mind
and write it on your palms. See it clearly in gold. Then say the name of the symbol. This is partly an
intuitive process where you just "let it out". It is thought that the sound helps intensify the effect of the
healing energy and drive it to "deeper level". One small word of advise...... Healing sessions are often times
of great relaxation for people, and times when people entered altered states. Make sure what you are doing
is not a distraction that interferes with the healing session.
There are times when you want to Tone, but doing so might be distracting or inappropriate to the situation.
In these cases, focus on the third eye. Say the symbol name (mantra) in your mind. Think of saying it with
such resonance and power that it travels to the end of the universe and beyond towards infinity. Resonate
the sound in your mind, through your hands, and into the person you are treating.
Reiki and Spirituality
"...Sooner or later you're going to realize, just as I did, there's a difference between knowing the path and
walking the path..."
- Morpheus, from the movie "The Matrix"
No matter what style of Reiki that one practices, it is almost a truism that all find it to be a spiritual practice. It is fairly clear that they were added fairly late in the development of the system. They seemed to be added in
is commonly said that Reiki integrates with all spiritual practices, but it is often unclear what exactly that
means. This article will explore the idea or spirituality and Reiki by looking at what the system was intended
to do and the symbols.
Reiki Ryoho
24
Reiki Ryoho or "Reiho" was the art that Usui practiced. This art continues to be practiced in Japan, in an
unbroken line since Usui, in the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai. In the past two years, information has been
trickling out of Japan regarding the practices of the Gakkai. These have been turbulent times in the Reiki
world in the west as this has had the effect of challenging many people's beliefs about Reiki. For some, it
has allowed them to reevaluate their practices and learn new techniques, while for others it has caused
them to dig in their heels and hold more tightly to what they know.
Reiho was a simple system. It was primarily a secular enlightenment system that also allowed you to heal.
You healed self, and then others. It comprised of Five Principles that were the core of the teaching (For
today only do not anger, do not worry, be grateful, do your spiritual work with appreciation, be kind to all
living things). Living the principles were paramount for staying in the moment and healing the mind. Usui
also included the Waka poetry of the Meiji Emperor. The poetry was chanted before meditation to help clear
the mind and set the intent. There were a number of simple techniques to use for self and other healing.
Hatsurei Ho was a meditation technique that strengthened the body and mind as well as helped increase
the ability to use the reiki. Reiju was the empowerment (attunement) that was received weekly in a group
Hatsurei ho practice that empowered the students to reiki and helped them continue to grow. Lastly, the
symbols were added in to aid those that had difficulty connecting directly to the energy.This was the Reiki
system. A simple elegant system. Let us now move to exploring the spiritual and healing aspects.
Enlightenment System
It is impossible to fully understand the intent and design of these practices without looking at the time and
mindset in which Usui lived. In doing so, we must move past our conditionings, new age-isms, and other
present day thoughts and ideas so that we avoid reading history backwards with our present views.
First and foremost, Usui was unquestionably Buddhist. The Teaching story that Mrs. Takata used with Usui
as a Christian Monk was a story that was used to teach westerners unfamiliar with Japanese Buddhist and
culture the idea that Usui was a seeker in a religious sense. It was an effective teaching tool, which
unfortunately became dogmatized. ( There are ideas that are common to a culture that are unspoken and
simply understood. An example of this is the idea of the "American Dream" - to get ahead. These unspoken
parts of the Japanese cultural mindset are difficult to communicate to those not familiar with the culture and
so Mrs. Takata tried to use western ideas to teach reiki principles.)
Usui was a Shingon Buddhist growing up and became a Tendai Buddhist later in life. As such, there are
certain ideas about the world that are part of his system. Reiki exemplifies the principle of "wei wu wei",
doing by not doing. By doing nothing, everything is done. Reiki is a simple practice. We place our hands on
someone and by doing nothing (no controlling, no directing, just BEing) everything is done. The principles
teach keeping the now, and awareness. It takes mindfulness to "not anger" and "not worry". It takes
mindfulness to "be grateful", and to "be kind to all living things".
Looking at the symbols he chose to place in the system also are keys to this enlightenment system. Let us
now examine these symbols and the possible implications of them. Unlike the multitude of also ran systems
that have developed in the west since the death of Mrs. Takata, the Usui system had only 4 symbols, and it
as a tool for those who had trouble connecting to the energy directly.
The first symbol is the "Cho Ku Rei", the so-called "power" symbol, also called the Focus. It says "place the
power here". It is an edict to do so, but something much more is implied. It is also an edict to "wake up". In
25
the oneness you are and always have been this, interconnected with all things and one. It is an invitation to
awaken, to remember by releasing the things that blind us to our true nature.
The second symbol is the "Sei Hei Ki", or the so-called "mental-emotional" symbol. It is the Harmony
symbol. In the oneness that is Cho Ku Rei, Sei Hei Ki heals body mind and spirit. It cleanses and heals by
helping us to remove the attatchments we have that create our suffering and thus our illness. The third
symbol is the "Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen", often called the "distant" symbol but also the "connection" symbol. It
is from a Buddhist Chant that means "Right consciousness is the root of everything" or "A righteous man
may correct all thoughts", or "To act in the Realization of Absolute Beingness". But what might that mean,
"Right consciousness"? This is clearly a Buddhist idea. Right consciousness is being fully in the moment,
fully in the now. It is acting, not reacting. This is an important distinction. Reacting is based on our ego, our
conditionings. Our conditionings are the cause of our suffering and our illness. It is only by letting go and
removing our conditionings that we are free to be in the moment, to respond, and ultimately to heal. The last
symbol is the "Dai Ko Mio", or the so-called "mastery" symbol. The symbol is the great shining light. The
goal is Reiho is to live in the great shining light. The previous three symbols are the key, the last is the
realization. Perhaps putting them all together into a sentence might help. We are one with all things, in this
oneness we heal body mind and spirit. In right consciousness we release attatchments and conditionings so
we live in the moment of the great shining light. The symbols are a tool. They are a roadmap. They are
training wheels on a bicycle that are used while needed by removed, (like all conditionings) when no longer
needed. Do not mistake the map for the journey, or the destination.
Other Issues - New Systems, Extra Symbols, Reiki as a Business
After reading all of this, there are three questions that you may now be asking: You may be asking, if Reiki
is such a simple system, why is it that others have developed so many new systems?
You may be asking, if Reiki is such a simple system, why is it that others have added and continue to add
new symbols? You may be asking, if Reiki is an enlightenment system that allows one to heal self and
others, why is it that others have turned it into a business? It would seem, that people often have an insight
into the system after using it consistently for any length of time. Some might confuse this "insight" with a
new idea regarding Reiki and thus believe they have developed a "new" system.
Likewise, seeing new symbols is nothing extraordinary. Sacred geometry is older than Pythagoras, and
common to many esoteric and spiritual practices. Most of these symbols have a specific meaning to the
person viewing them and do not constitute a new system. Most of these "new" systems with extra symbols
are simply reiki with extra symbols despite the claims of the proponents of the systems.
Still others have added in techniques from other things like space aliens, ancient civilizations, Celestine
Prophesy, Wicca, Tibetan practices, Ascended Masters, etc.
While these may have some interest for some, I am forced to ask a fundamental question: Remembering
that Reiho was a secular enlightenment system that allowed you to heal self and then others, do these
things increase the conditionings that you have or help remove them?
Remember that symbols were a tool to be used to aid you in connecting to the energy, and to guide you but
ones, like all conditionings that were to be let go of when no longer needed. Does adding extra symbols
help or hinder this process? Are we helped by putting in some Tibetan symbols, or are these simply
additional things to help us stay asleep? For many these days, Reiki has turned into a business. This idea,
and position is probably most advocated for by William Rand and his website, The International Center for
Reiki Training, has many articles regarding setting up your Reiki Practice, etc. Others continue to develop
new systems, "Lightarian Reiki", "Ascension Reiki", "Essene Reiki". It is interesting that all claim to be
"universal life energy". Some of them have different techniques. In reality, the systems are indeed different.
It would seem that what makes them different is not so much the difference in the energy, but that having
taken them, you now have permission to use them differently. They are nothing that you could not have
already done, and nothing that you did not already have.Businesses thrive by continually coming up with
new product. New symbols, new techniques, new packaging are all part of this process, as are the ever
increasing claims of "more powerful", "higher vibrational", "more deeply penetrating", "ascension systems",
and on and on and on.
Summary
In the final analysis, nothing can free you from the conditioning that cause your suffering except you. No
energy system, no matter how much ascension and enlightenment they promise, can save you. No guru, no
system can save you. Adding to the conditionings that you have with more and more systems, symbols and
techniques will not either. Usui handed you a key. A key in the form of 5 simple principles, a simple
meditation (Hatsurei ho), some symbols to guide your understanding, and a way to share this universal
unconditional love with others. You are an instrument of blessing. In the moment, you reach out your hands,
place them on another in a gesture of unconditional love, and by doing nothing, everything is done. There is
nothing else that is needed.It is my hope that these words will help clarify and open others to a different way
of looking at the system of Reiki that is outside of the Business that it has become.
Blessings to all;
Vinny Amador
ANGELIC SEICHIM
Angelic Seichim was developed by Vinny Amador. Seichim/SKHM is a very
malleable energy, and it responds to the conceptual schema that each person
uses to access it. The following method is one means of connecting to this
energy. In this text the terms "Seichim" and "SKHM" are used interchangably to
refer to the energy.
Seichim Angelic Attunement
This attunement will work with both the SKHM energy and the Archangels. Archangels, like all angels, are
an "intelligence", a power and personification of a specific aspect of god, and the energy that power
represents. Although there are a number of Archangels, there are seven Archangels that stand before the
throne of God. This information is acquired from a number of sources. For example, Raphael identifies
himself as one to Tobias on the road. There are four that are generally agreed upon
that all practices and faiths seem to include. These are Raphael, Gabriel, Michael, and that most agree
upon, Uriel. There is not a lot of Agreement over the other three. Every major faith seems to have their
group of archangels including the Islamic, Assryian biblical, jewish, Kabbalist, dead sea scrolls and Gnostic
Sources. From the Apocrypha, dead sea scrolls, and other biblical sources, there are traditionally seven
who are identified. They are Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Ramiel (Jarahmeel), Raguel, and Sariel. In the
Apocryphal Book of Enoch - Chapter 20, there are also seven identified: "And these are the names of the
holy angels who watch. Uriel, one of the holy angels, who is over the world and over Tartarus. Raphael, one
of the holy angels, who is over the spirits of men. Raguel, one of the holy angels who takes vengeance on
the world of the luminaries. Michael, one of the holy angels, to wit, he that is set over the best part of
mankind and over chaos. Saraqael (Sariel), one of the holy angels, who is set over the spirits, who sin in the
 26

spirit. Gabriel, one of the holy angels, who is over Paradise and the serpents and the Cherubim. Remiel, the principalities in his role as protector of Israel. Michael is considered to be the angel of the burning bush

world of luminaries," which is interpreted to mean that, for cause, he brings other angels to account. Raguel
is one of the principalities. Besides this vigilance, Raguel is also mentioned as being an angel of ice and

destroying Baruch's enemies, the armies of Sennacherib. Beyond that, he is also the guide for the souls of
the faithful, leading them into Heaven after Michael weighs them at the last trump. Although not mentioned
specifically as such, such a role would lead to the assumption that Ramiel is a power.
There are several others that are identified as Archangels that we will have participate with us in this
attunement:
Raziel ("Secret of God"): One of the cherubim, Raziel is the giver of divine mysteries as well as an angel of
knowledge. It is he who lead to the writing of the book of Enoch and is also the author of the tome from
which Noah learns to build the ark. This is not to be confused with Raphael, who is the angel to give Raziel's
book to Noah, but did not write it himself.
Jophiel ("Beauty of God"): One of the cherubim, Jophiel is accredited with being the angel to drive Adam
and Eve from the Garden of Eden after they eat the forbidden fruit. If this is the case, Jophiel receives also
the honor of being the first angel to be mentioned in the Bible. In such a role, he is last left guarding the
Tree of Life with a flaming sword to prevent the return of man. Jophiel is the Angel of Enlightenment. This
angel inspires us toward awareness, enlightenment, open-mindedness and freedom of thought. He teaches
our consciousness to discover the Light within.
Zadkiel ("Righteousness of God"): Belonging to the ranks of the dominations, and considered by some to
be chief, Zadkiel is considered an angel of mercy. It is he who holds back the hand of Abraham to prevent
the patriarch from sacrificing his son, and because of this is usually shown holding a dagger. Also, Zadkiel is

*From the Koran - The Djin (Jinn) are a race of beings created by Allah to serve Him. They are not His
children, nor are they deities. They were created from searing hot, smokeless fire, some time before
humans were created from clay. Since the Koran also states that the Angels were created from fire, it would
seem that the Djin and the Angels are the same kind of beings. Although the djin are considered lesser
beings. The Djin can be good or evil. There is the legend of Solomon binding the Djin (i.e., in bottles) and
the grateful evil Djin granting a wish if they are released.
However, it is rare that the Koran speaks of "Angels and Jinn" in the same sentence, but often speaks of
"Men and Jinn" in one breath. It would seem that the Jinn have a strong interest in consorting with humans,
and especially in helping them to stray from the one-true-God. Not entirely, though, as there is at least one
reference to Jinn who are righteous and hear the Word of Allah. With those exceptions, we expect that most
humans and most Jinn will get their "come-uppance" on judgement day and they (we) will not be pleased
with the results.
In summary, it would appear that according to the Koran, the Jinn are a species related to Angels which
30
tend to consort with human-kind to the detriment of both. Exceptions noted.

*From the Koran - The Djin (Jinn) are a race of beings created by Allah to serve Him. They are not His
children, nor are they deities. They were created from searing hot, smokeless fire, some time before
humans were created from clay. Since the Koran also states that the Angels were created from fire, it would
seem that the Djin and the Angels are the same kind of beings. Although the djin are considered lesser
beings. The Djin can be good or evil. There is the legend of Solomon binding the Djin (i.e., in bottles) and
the grateful evil Djin granting a wish if they are released.
However, it is rare that the Koran speaks of "Angels and Jinn" in the same sentence, but often speaks of
"Men and Jinn" in one breath. It would seem that the Jinn have a strong interest in consorting with humans,
and especially in helping them to stray from the one-true-God. Not entirely, though, as there is at least one
reference to Jinn who are righteous and hear the Word of Allah. With those exceptions, we expect that most
humans and most Jinn will get their "come-uppance" on judgement day and they (we) will not be pleased
with the results.
In summary, it would appear that according to the Koran, the Jinn are a species related to Angels which
tend to consort with human-kind to the detriment of both. Exceptions noted.
