We all know those times when we speak, write, think about Reiki and that all too familiar warmth/tingling begins to form in our hands. Perhaps some of us also experience this around loved ones, or folks we feel some kinda connection to? Maybe even some of us might mention we experience this with strangers in the street? In all these expereinces they seem very spontaneous, and we could be forgiven for thinking that there's in fact some outside 'force' generating either for ourself or others. There's another explanation, which goes to the very core concept of what we, spiritually minded folks are all about...

Consciously, when we decide to create Reiki we wish it so in our minds, and then enact a technique. Part of the process is missing though. There must be something else going on that is enabling our intent to work in this way. Something is obviously happening sub-consciously. It's that that this post is focusing on.

What if this sub-conscious process was totally to do with us also? If we talk, write, think about Reiki are we not also doing something on a sub-conscious level? Of course! We're connecting to the Reiki expereince by the very actions we're doing.

That's all fine & well Wayne, but how come i feel the sensations around my loved ones, pets, etc? Easy. It's cause we feel love for them. Love's has long been known to greatly accentuate energy therapy, there's a clear connection.

"Ok, maybe, so how do you explain when i'm standing in the street and i feel these sensations also, with no-one around but strangers?". 'Spiritual progress' baby! Hehe. You're most likely (either that moment or on-going) have got rid of all your hang-ups and are expereincing a moment when you're realising in your core being of the connection you have to ALL beings! Next stop, realsing truely you are all beings. ding-ding, all aboard!

Reiki doesn't have to be 'gave' to us, or 'sent', or 'pulled' by some intelligent force. It can easily be all down to us and our own divinity. One last note, just cause we're having sensations, doesn't mean anyone else is, or should. I'm having them now, doesn't mean i should create Reiki for all reading this, .

Warmest wishes

When you see others as your brother or sister
on this big spinning earth-ship then you have
truly connected with your spirituality as oneness.

You can allow your presence to go beyond your own
aura boundaries and touch others with a smile and
watch their reaction. Our eyes can do the same we
do not just use our hands. My "Reiki" system uses
the same Universal Life Force Energy as everyone
else's.

These experiences just reaffirm the fact that we don't 'need' the symbols to 'generate' Reiki......

using the symbols enhance the
presence of the power within
us

ever offered Reiki without using the symbols and compared yours and the recipients experience?

We don't need to 'draw' the symbols to experience Reiki. that's much different to we don't need the symbols to generate Reiki, imo. It's very topic related, if we don't see something we tend to assume it's not happening. What goes on sub-consciously is a major working in Reiki. .

There's loads of variables in this though. Depending on the client, and even the practitioners perspective. where the practitioner is in their acceptance/perception/understanding holds great effect. Going from experience. I initially felt that i could at will easily switch the different 'frequencies' of the symbols during treatmment (it initially was spontaneous) then I was lead to beleive by my Reiki peers that the symbols were'nt needed. So as i went along my Reiki journey the symbols actually literally felt they were getting in the way of the Reiki! They were obstructing it. So i know what you mean.

Then as i went further along the path, i realised there's , more to the symbols than i thought. I was discounting many of the answers to Reiki by setting aside the symbols. that much of the history, instructions, and knowledge of reiki is in them. with this came a change in perception, and it's key to Reiki. Something you & I resonate with is that if folks feel they need protection (possibly gettign attacked) then they'll view their reality like that. what you personally helped me with by your example was letting me see that you know for a fact divinity in the form of Reiki is enough. And it's true. Once i changed my perception, my Reiki world changed also. greater understanding of the depth of the stuff in the symbols also lead to greater depth of my perception, and experience in Reiki.

there's a key point i think you're underlying. The symbols aren't 'needed'. If we need something, latch onto it, then that ultimately gets in the way of things. If we go beyond that, surrender our 'need' for the symbols, then we can experience them with no attachment, so that even descriptive words like 'vital' don't carry the initial meaning most might attribute to it. It's sublties in spirituality that we know are hard to write about, but have to be experienced,

another interesting thing is that during my Reiki path i've felt the route of Reiki take 3 seperate ways. It used to be via the crown, it used to by from the Seika tanden, now it's from neither, hehe. This has coincided with my on-going understanding of Reiki. so perception dictates what we think is happening in Reiki.

Take care
Wayne

dear chi_solas,



thanks vj. I'd love to hear your thoughts

sir it is your kindness and big heart and you are doing role of big brother on site to understand all friends view even may be i have lot English mistake but most of time you understand this... I am very oblige to you..

excellent i have no word to write anything on this but i feel all reiki people are saints in modern time without boundaries of religions and casts etc and they all are believing god is one and this concept only new very high level saint otherwise most of spiritual people are fighting for their superiority. So friends it is our duties work for truth not for drama of religion and cast and countries. You also explain same thing in your article.............

i agree with you, and i have my own example i had learnt reiki with lot of people and if i see know most of them left but i am merging in reiki more and more with my own experiences( or grace of god).So reiki is true path to taste true spirituality but on the way there are lot plus and minus but it is upto us how we utilized plus and how to save from minus.....

last thanks and regards for your big heart.

Please do not let your English stop
you from posting your thoughts

The ego to become more superior does
bring unsettled problems. There are
times I have seen fighting on Reiki
forums and often wondered do these
folks really practice Reiki and it's
5 principles. It's OK with me if we
all practice different Reiki styles
We are all reaching for the same healing
spirit whether we use crystals,feathers
Etc;

I agree with you, Wayne. I didn't experience the reiki frequencies being conducted through me before I saw the reiki master symbol in legible form. (I later went ahead with initiation and training from a teacher.)

Most of us are visual learners.
a = A plus the sound of ah....
so it makes sense to have Reiki
symbols that represent focus,
harmony, time, connection,
emotional empowerment plus the
additional Japanese healing techniques
that add balance to the system. It could
be said that you don't need the symbols
I find after being taught and initiated
into the Reiki system, the symbols will
always be part of empowering the Reiki
healing process. Much like a pencil
empowers an author to write

thanks for keeping this topic active Bridget & Bruce, .

It's really significant what you said Bruce. In as much it comes from someone very familiar with energy therapy whom can also perceive it in ways others can't. You've mentioned before that you've noticed a 'difference' in Reiki & other modailities (i'm struggling to get the terms that are acceptable to us both, hehe).

So you perceive, as in see energy in a certain way. You saw the master symbol, but it was only when you went through the initiation (of which the symbols were part i assume), that the difference was expereinced. Outta curiousity, have you ever noticed or felt/saw the symbols active (in any way) during a Reiki experience in which you havn't actually drew them?

Take care
Wayne

No, I saw and felt difference in reiki energy when I saw the master symbol in a form that was legible enough to be read.

I was later initiated, with symbols.

Before the above-mentioned experiences, I experienced feeling the spiral of the CKR symbol when somebody sent it over to me; she didn't physically draw it, but used intent to send it across a short distance (a couple of feet); when I commented on feeling a spiraling, she said that there's one reiki symbol that has that shape and she'd wanted to see if I would notice when she sent the symbol. (Edit: BTW, before she said that, I didn't know that reiki used symbols. I believe she was the first reiki practitioner with whom I talked about energies.)

I'm finding this even more significant. Before you were even initiated, you had an expereince with the master symbol. Has this expereince/feeling ever been 'replicated' or similar post-initiation? I'm thinking, if you had an experience pre-initiation it may be put down to a possible one-off, but if you have had similar expereinces/feelings post-initiation there might be the possibility of tieing all in together. It might lend weight (for me personally) that the symbols themselves have power.

I'm so glad you've shared this! I'm getting more outta this topic than i hoped! We can see from your expereince, that the symbols don't have to be drew for them to be used, or actively expereinced.

I feel that when folks whom are initiated into symbols who then perform Reiju, are inaccurately believing that they're not using symbols. I'd go one step further than your expereince and suggest that if we are intending to pass on the Reiki ability, we sub-consciously activate the master symbol also. Likewise with absent healing. course we both know absent healing can happen in other modalities without symbols, though we gotta remember it's the platform of Reiki (with it's processes) that's of interest. So when we intend to absent heal, in a somewhat conscious non-effort way even, we're activating the distance symbol, which has became a part of us since initiation.

Warmest wishes
Wayne
