It has also been used to seperate you from a person or situation that you feel is threatening or oppressing you. It can be used as a protection symbol, to keep out what you wish to deflect away from yourself. Simply draw the symbol between yourself and the person you wish to create space between. If it is a protection, you use it at the boundaries of your property or room walls if it is for an inside space. If it is from a situation, you can write the problem on a paper as a surrogate to represent it and then place the paper in front of you and then draw the symbol between you and the paper. It has even been used to help lose weight, by drawing it directly on your body, on the areas you wish to have reduced, stating your intention to remove the extra weight. Or it can be used to keep you away from things that are unhealthy for you, such as snack foods, cigaretees, bad habits of any kind. It can also be used to ground you to the earth and if drawn in reverse, from bottom to top, it can help you in leaving your physical body during meditation and for out of body experiences.
These are the Reiki symbols for level 2 and
3. How to use them? There are many ways,
following is examples of how to use them.
Distance treatment
Some ways of doing distance energy treatments
with Reiki
There are several ways to do a distant
healing. First select a method
Some people use a photo or drawing as a focus
or direct the energies by imagining the
person as laying on your thigh
or putting a pillow on your lap to represent
the recipient.
You can imagine the person as being between
your hands and either mentaly go through
the hand positions or just send the Reiki to
the healee's entire being with the intention
that it go where needed.
Another technique is to substitute your body
for theirs putting your hands and or
intention on your body and intending that the
energies run to them in those places.
I usually just say the persons name and if I
know it location and intend that the energies
go to them for their highest good. I do also
state what the problem is and ask
for pain relief if that is wanted in addition
to healing as pain relief and healing are not
the same thing and spirit, that is healing
energies and angels and such do not always
seem to understand all that much about pain
(they don't have bodies). I do specify the
body area some of the time but where needed
most, most of the time.
The most important symbol in distant healing
is the 3rd symbol which allows you to bridge
time and space. Draw the distant healing
symbol on the photo, surrogate (whatever you
have chosen to use) and say the name of the
symbol (mantra) three times. Now Draw the
2nd symbol, and repeat it's mantra three
times. Then draw the 1st symbol, the power
symbol and repeat it's mantra three times.
Now you may begin sending Reiki engery to the
surrogate. (If you have been attuned to
receive the level 3 energies, you would also
use the master symbol during distant healing)
In distance treatments the energy often just
runs until it's done. Some Teachers suggest a
15 minute session for distance work . I have
had the energy run as long as two hours. I
reacitvate the energies if my attention and
intention wanders so far off that the
energies shut down or whenever I feel that I
should.
When the energies stop running. I end the
treatment by honoring what we have intended
gently releasing the connection and thanking
any angels guides. I
clear and release any excess or uneeded
energies that may have accumulated or stuck
to me.
You can send Reiki to more than one person
at a time by using a stack. Distant healing
stacks don't change the amount of Reiki
energy, only how it is delivered.
Because you are sending to more
than one person there is an amplification of
the energy.
Since the amount of energy
is increased, a distant healing
stack will take the same amount
of time as 1 person.. Stacks send out more
energy than normal single distant healings.
The greatest thing about this technique is
that
you can place yourself in the stack at the
same time as other people even put yourself
on top.
You may put inanimate
things in a stack after the people, but please don't put them before.
Remember to get permisson from all people
included in the stack.
Procedure
Determine what you will use as a surrogate.
Use all the Reiki symbols to empower
something fully. You could just draw a Master
symbol and be done with it. But by using all
the symbols for every empowerment helps the
Reiki guides to understand you want all the
energies when you empower. Trace a Distant
Symbol, say it's name as usually 3x & empower
it with a Power Symbol and say it's name 3x
with the intent to do a Reiki Distant Healing
Stack.
VISUALIZE
I recomend using a statement like,
"I would now like to send Reiki healing
energy to _______ for their
greatest and
highest good."
Trace a Power Symbol with that person in
mind. Continue to add the people one by one
with the affirmation and trace a power symbol
for each one.
When you get done with people, you can move
right along to inanimate objects.
When finished with the levels in the stack,
trace an emotional symbol and empower it with
the power symbol with the intent that the
energy be available for all in the stack who
need it.
Finish off the stack and seal it with a very
large power symbol and press it all down.
A Reiki stack with all of the people and inmate
objects will take no more than 15 minutes.
Sometimes only five or ten minutes. End
the healing session as usual.
There are other ways to use the symbols,
following is a collection of uses.

Techniques for using the First Symbol
Drawn or visualised under the hands to
'switch on' and 'switch off' the reiki
flow.[Matthew]
Drawn or visualised over individual
chakras
to energise them. [Matthew]
Drawn or
visualised to dispell negative energy in a
room or anywhere. [Matthew]
Drawn visualised or stirred into food or
drink to energise it. [Matthew]
I literally
"throw it around" to clear rooms [Karen] I
offer it to people, often on a sub-consciuos
level, if it looks as if they need it.
[Karen]
I also use it to seal any distant healing and
attunement. [Karen]
Techniques for using
the Second Symbol
I interpret the second symbol to be a
stylised sillouette of a head looking left.
The third and fourth strokes I see as the
crown chakra, and the rear of the third eye
chakra respectively.[Matthew]
I will often draw it on myself if I am
distressing about
things. [Karen]
1] Mental Treatment - method submitted by
[Matthew Berry]
Right hand over the person's
crown and left hand over their causal chakra
[behind the head, covering the occipital lobe
of the brain]. Only the right hand draws the
following symbols. Draw and name #1, wait for
reiki build up draw and name #2, repeat
recipient's name three times, and say three
times 'i send this reiki mental treatment to
the cause of fred's.....' Visualise a wave of
intense white light flowing from your hand
into their skeleton from their head down to
the toes and back up to the head. Then a
second wave fills their entire body, before
flowing back to the head.
Then a third wave fills the body, and expands
out until it encompasses the entire universe.
Visualise and name #1 under you right hand
stay in position for about ten minutes.
Draw and name #1 to close the treatment.
Techniques for using the Third Symbol
Have you tried using your body to
represent
the person...either you put your hand on that
bit and so you would put your hand on your
knee and say 'this knee is Karen's knee in
Ipswich and i send reiki to her at a time
that is appropriate for her own highest
good....etc...' [Karen]
1] Distant Treatment - method submitted by
Matthew Berry
I find that it is easiest when
I don't use a doll or anything, just
visualisation, as it allows me to grow or
reduce and turn the recipient. For example if
I know that they have a kidney stone, I will
visualise them getting bigger until they're
about twice life size, and literally put my
hands around the stone.
Over a pillow, doll, picture, or just a bit
of air name and draw #1.Wait to feel Reiki.
When you feel it then visualise the recipient
between your hands/as the doll etc....
Draw #3 over them, name it three times, and
say three times 'i send this distant reiki
treament to jeff in london to be received at
a time when it is safe for him to do so'
Visualise #1 over the recipient and name it.
Begin the treatment. If you want to send a
distant mental, then visualise the recipient
lying in position and follow the instructions
exactly as before. at the end of the
treatment draw and name #1
2] Distant Mental Treatment - method
submitted by Matthew Berry
It is imperative
that you ensure that they will receive this
treatment when it is safe to do so because
even a distant mental can knock a person for
six!
Follow the instructions above up until 4.
Visualise #1 over the recipient and name it.
Enlarge the recipient to life size, imagining
their head in your lap. Place your hands on
their crown and back of head respectively and
follow the instructions for a mental *
3] Sending Reiki to Issues - method
submitted by Matthew Berry
Have your hands resting on a cushion on
your lap, palms facing each other. Visualise
#1 between them, feel the Reiki
build up. Visualise the issue or situation
[eg an interview] between your hands. Draw #3
over it and name it three times, and say
three times 'I send this distant reiki
treatment to the issue of my job interview
tomorrow'. No need for the 'for my highest
good' stuff because reiki only does things
for your highest good.
Visualise #1 over the issue and name it.
Continue giving reiki for about ten minutes
or until the flow ceases. As your energy
grows and you develop more and more, you will
find that issues take less and less Reiki
because your life is on track!
4] Distant Treatment - method submitted by
[Colin Powell] Here is a technique that I
use
for sending distant Reiki:
If I have a photo, I draw the symbols
over it. If not I try to
visualise the person or think of something
that reminds me of that person. If I do not
know the person, I say their name and their
location. Visualise CKR (repeat the name x3).
Visualise HSZSN (repeat the name x3).
Visualise CKR (repeat the name x3).
Feel the energy begin to flow. Intend that
Reiki flow to "Joe Bloggs in Anytown,
Anywhere, for the Highest Good, to be
received when it is safe to >do so, and
continue to flow until he has what he needs".
I have several methods of doing the actual
treatment, including: a) Using a surrogate
(a cuddly chimpanzee, called Reiki *lol*)
b) Hold the whole person in my cupped hands
and send to whole body. c) Hold out my hands
and imagine each position on the person in
turn, underneath my hands.
Say thank you to the Universe.
Visualise CKR (repeat the name x3). If I know
or feel that the person needs some help on
the mental/emotional >level then after step
3, I visualise SHK (say the name x3) and
follow it >with CKR (say name x3).
5] Distant Treatment - method submitted by
Light and Adonea - Homepage
The simplest
technique for sending Reiki to someone at a
distance, is through the use of a photo; a
first generation 'Polaroid' is best; the more
a photo is copied, the weaker the energy
connection to that person through the photo.
But with the use of Reiki symbols, that
connection can be strengthened.
Physically draw the three symbols (with
writing instrument or with finger and always
say the names of each symbol three times) on
the photo and say (mentally or verbally), "By
the 'Law of Correspondence', this photo is
filled with unlimited Reiki treatments". Then
draw the symbols on the photo again, and say,
"By the 'Law of Correspondence', this photo
represents (insert name of recipient, age,
location, and condition)". Then draw the
symbols once more onto/over the photo, and
say "By the 'Law of
Correspondence', as long as I do Reiki on
this photo, (insert name of recipient) also
receives a complete and continuous
treatment". You can then place the photo
between your hands, on your heart, on each
body/hand position, or any way that you have
been taught or create intuitively.
6] Distant Treatment - method submitted by
Light and Adonea - Homepage One way we
send
treatments is by the knee/thigh method: we
draw the three symbols (say names of each
three times) on our right knee and we say,
"By the 'Law of Correspondence', my right
knee represents the four head positions of
(insert name of recipient)". Then we put the
photo on our right knee, our hands over the
photo and do Reiki as if we were doing a
hands-on treatment. We hold for a minimum of
five (5) minutes, or longer as guided by
intuition or inner-knowing. Then we draw the
three symbols (say names of each three times)
on our right thigh and we say, "By the 'Law
of Correspondence', my right thigh represents
the four front positions of (name of
recipient)". Then we put the photo on our
right thigh, our hands over the photo and do
Reiki as if we were doing a hands-on
treatment. We hold for a minimum of five (5)
minutes, or longer as guided by intuition or
inner-knowing. We repeat again, this time
using the left thigh to represent the four
(4) back positions of the intended recipient.
At this time, we can finish or if we are led
to do more, we usually add the left thigh,
stating our intention that it represents the
'joy' level, cause of any imbalance on
any/all levels, the consciousness or
awareness, or anything that we might have
picked up intuitively after doing a standard
treatment on all twelve (12) body/hand
positions. If you feel anything amiss while
doing any of the grouped body/hand positions,
and you would like to find out precisely
where in the recipient's body the imbalance
is, you can do the following. Say that you
feel something in the 'front positions'
(right thigh), then you can empower each of
the knees and thighs.....the right knee would
represent 'front position #1', right thigh
would represent 'front position #2', left
knee would represent 'front position #3', and
left thigh would represent 'front position
#4'. You would use the symbols and names in
the same way described above. This should
help you to become more sensitive to the
exact location of any imbalance (trauma,
injury, memory, implanted thought form, etc.)
and you would probably want to treat that or
any other area of imbalance you may find with
extra treatment time.
You would increase the energy going into the
recipient with any extra Power symbols that
you would use, while doing Reiki on any
body/hand position. This would specifically
work on any imbalances you find in the
physical level. And if you suspect that the
causation of any problem might be on the
mental, or emotional levels, you would want
to add extra Mental/Emotional symbols
together with extra power symbols, and the
Reiki will work deeper on those levels. If
you suspect that a discovered imbalance might
be spiritual in nature, then it would be wise
to add additional Distance symbols, along
with extra Mental/Emotional and Power
symbols.
Other Treatment
Techniques
1] Chakra balancing treatment - method
submitted by [Karen Sweetman]
put one hand on
heart chakra and other on base chakra. Send
reiki to self (give reiki....whatever you
say) Mostly one chakra is more *energetic*
than the other and you wait until they both
match in energy and you go onto the next
one. I always keep one hand on my heart, i
do not
move it because i donot like to break the
link when it is established.
2] Chakra balancing treatment - method
submitted by [Karen Sweetman]
put one hand on
crown, other on base. do as above. Then
swap hands, so lower goes to third eye and
upper hand goes to sex chakra. continue
until you come to heart where both hands go.
3] Chakra balancing treatment - method
submitted by [Matthew Berry]
Begin as for the
mental treatment number one above. Place one
hand under the head and the other over the
chakra you wish to treat [in the case of the
mental treatment this is the crown].
Follow the instructions for the mental,
except that all symbols are placed on this
chakra, and not the crown.
There is one more symbol, that is used in passing attunements from Master to
Student. It is the Raku, it isn't used by
most traditional teaching, but has been used
by modern day Masters. It's use is to ground
the receiver to the Reiki energies. It is used to seperate the attuner from the attunee at the end of the attunement process.
