Usui Reiki Symbols
There are several variations in the way the symbols are drawn. I personally have been attuned by three different reiki masters using the three different variations to some of the symbols. I have included these variations for informational purposes (roll your mouse over the original image to see the variation). Please use the symbol that feels right to you. Symbols are usually drawn top to bottom and left to right.
Sei He Ki (say-hay-key)
Given during Level 1 Reiki Attunement This symbol is used to heal mental or emotional issues including anger, depressions, sadness, fear or addictions. It is generally drawn over the brow or heart chakras. Note: Double Sei He Ki is used when opening the doors to past life or past emotional traumas. Use in combination with Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen.
Given during Master Teacher Reiki Attunement This is the second of the master symbols. It is used in the attunement process identical to the Usui Di Ko Myo, but it can also be used in the healing process to align the chakras to the highest consciousness. It can also be used instead of or in combination with Cho Ku Rei for a gentler but more powerful healing energy.
Raku (ra-ku)
Given during Master Teacher Reiki Attunement This is the symbol used after a treatment or an attunement to ground the client and separate the connections between practioner and client. It is drawn from the crown chakra to the feet.
