There are three main Reiki symbols namely; the power symbol, the emotional or mental symbol, and the distance symbol each representing a different aspect. It is essential to understand each Reiki symbol completely which is why you should go in-depth to know everything about them. Below is a guide that highlights the details of each Reiki symbol and the things you can use them for.
Known as the power symbol in the western culture, the Cho Ku Rei is a Reiki symbol that represents universal energy, also translated as placing the power of the universe here. There are many ways to activate a Reiki symbol, however, for beginners or those looking for an easy way of activation, drawing the power symbol is the answer. One of the best things about the three main Reiki symbols is that their applications are endless; once you activate the power symbol through a method that is convenient to you, you can use it for endless applications.
The power symbol can be used to restore balance if you are working with energy and you feel off-balanced or by drawing it on your body or a building for protection. One of the best things about the power symbol is helping with relationship issues; regardless of the type of relationship you share, you can use this symbol to improve it. If you are using other Reiki symbols, you can use the power symbol to empower them; making them stronger and potent.
Apart from the Cho Ku Rei or the power symbol, there is the Sei He Ki known as the emotional and mental symbol and its activation is similar to the power symbol; you either draw or visualize it while having a clear picture of what you want to use it for. If you or your loved one is struggling with addiction, mental illness, trying to find lost items, or want to learn more through memorization, you can use the Se He Ki symbol to help them achieve either of these.
As the name suggests, the distance symbol means you don’t have to be with someone to heal them because you can send the energy across time and space. The distance symbol can be used to send Reiki to anyone at any time, plus you can do other things like giving strength, offering protection, and cleansing among other things. This is how to use the three main Reiki symbols.
