Why are the Reiki Symbols and Lineage of Value?
We
have found that you can attune a person by intent, focus and
visualization. And you can attune a person to symbols like a circle,
triangle and square. If you call the circle the power symbol, the
triangle a mental/emotional symbol and the square a distance-sending
symbol, it would work. But, we have also found that there is something
to be said for lineage and the number of people using the same
system; the more people using the system and symbols and the same
practical techniques, the stronger and more focused the intent
becomes; thus the more energy that is available to be utilized by the
practitioners. We also know that there are multitudes of beings
(guides, masters, angels, avatars, etc.) who, though not in physical
form, guided the practice of Reiki itself.
It is our further
understanding that all in the Universe is brought together by focused
intent/thought; the stronger the focus, the greater the chance of
manifestation into this realm. Where we place our intent, there is our
reality; or (and this is one of our favorites) "The Universe is
continuously re-arranging itself to give us the manifestation of our
picture of reality". So the more Reiki practitioners focus on the
practice of Reiki and the attunements, the stronger and more effective
the system becomes.
Similarly, we have come to understand that the
originators of the Reiki system placed within it certain parameters:
the energy of Reiki cannot be used to harm or manipulate anyone or
anything; it can only be utilized for the good of all concerned; there
is a measure of built-in protection when utilizing the system; and
the energy comes through the practitioner rather than from the
practitioner. These parameters have been held to, followed and kept
sacred for thousands of years, creating a very strong focus and intent
indeed. This is one of the reasons why Reiki is so effective. A
loving, caring desire to be of assistance helps too!
The Reiki
symbols are not necessary to give an effective treatment; they do
however assist all practitioners to more clearly focus on the energy
as it is funneled through them. The symbols unlock certain frequencies
within Reiki and these intensify when utilized. Have you ever drawn
the symbols out in front of you and then stepped inside of them? Each
has a very different energy and can be felt and differentiated with
practice, openness of mind, and the passing of time.
