REIKI II NOTES
Reiki is one of the endangered mysteries, both be ause of the !hinese o u"ation of Tibet and the te hni#ue$s dilution in %estern tea hing& The Traditional argument for kee"ing e'en the names of the symbols se ret is that they are sa red& Indeed they are, but sa red and se ret are no longer synonymous& (or "eo"le to learn the sa red it must be )ithin their a ess& %e no longer ha'e the lu*ury or time for years of "ri'ate study )ith a learned s holar or guru+tea her& There are fe) "la es remaining in the )orld for the tea hers to be trained and fe) "eo"le )ho an de'ote their li'es e* lusi'ely to the sa red "ath& The tradition of oral tea hing no longer remains& ,eo"le today are mostly solitary& They learn from the mass media or from books, and this is )here the information needs to be found to be reasonably a'ailable& The "lanet and all "eo"le are in a state of e*treme moral and "hysi al risis at this time& To hange this situation or e'en to sur'i'e it re#uires s"irituality and a key to the sa red, and most "eo"le must find that sense of the sa red )here they an in their o)n ultures& One generally gi'en reason for hiding the Reiki symbols and the Reiki II and III tea hing is that it may be used for harm if allo)ed into the )rong hands& In guidan e and e*"erien e, it be omes #uite lear that the material annot be misused& -s .ikao Usui learned, the information does not a ti'ate by itself& It re#uires the Reiki attunement for the degree to a ti'ate the healing methods and the information& Only a trained tea her )ho has been attuned himself+herself an "ass the attunements& Reiki )as also arefully designed, and the guides and leaders of our "lanet$s "ast )ho brought it here kne) )hat they )ere doing& Reiki )as on ei'ed as a mistake/"roof healing system& If it is used for other than "ositi'e means, nothing ha""ens and no harm an o ur& Remember too that energy is a neutral for e 0 fire an ook dinner or burn do)n a ity, and energy$s intent returns to the sender& %hat you send out returns to you for good or ill& The intent to harm anyone )ith a system designed for healing, )hether it su eeds or not, be omes "art of the karma of the sender& 1ike)ise, as a system designed for hel"ing and healing, the intent to do good o'errides any loss of information& 2y doing your best to use Reiki for the good it )as intended, the Reiki guides fill in )hat is missing& The Reiki guides are a fa tor that manifests )ith Reiki I, but for most "eo"le they first be ome ons ious in the Se ond 3egree& These are a grou" of dis arnate healers that take "art in e'ery Reiki healing& The Reiki I "ra titioner is "robably not a)are of them, but )ith Reiki II they begin to make themsel'es kno)n& In Reiki III they are running the )hole sho)4 %orking ons iously )ith s"irit guidan e makes e'ery healing a 5oy and a )onder& Until the guidan e be omes ons ious, it may a""ear to the healer as a heightened intuition& The healer doesn$t kno) 6ho) she thought of it7, 6it7 being a key "ie e of information for the healing& 6It7 may also gi'e her a ne) tool for future sessions or for self/healing& If you don$t kno) )hat to do in a healing situation, ask for hel" and the ans)er )ill a""ear or )ill sim"ly ha""en& -s a result more om"le* situations arise )ith Reiki II than in Reiki I& 2e ause of your "ositi'e intent to do your best at doing Reiki, you are gi'en all the tools and information you need& If a te hni#ue is in error 0 a symbol is miss/dra)n for e*am"le 0 the Reiki guides )ill fi* it& Often you an "sy hi ally )at h it ha""en& Reiki annot be degraded or used for harm,

The symbols are the essen e and formula of Reiki& They are the keys to using and "assing on this healing system& -ll things "rofound and life affirming are sim"le and Reiki is an e*tremely sim"le method, om"rised essentially of the symbols& They are the formula .ikao Usui found in the Sutras. Three are taught in Reiki II and t)o more in the Third 3egree& The symbols are readily kno)n in 2uddhism, )here they are not se ret or )ithheld information& They are ho)e'er sacred. The symbols are "la ed in the aura in the Reiki I attunements and they are already a "art of e'ery Reiki healer& 2efore you see the symbols 'isually in Reiki II, you are already hanneling them )ith Reiki energy through your hands& On e you obtain the symbols 'isually, they be ome "art of dire t sessions and self/healing as additions to it, and the basis for distan e healing& In dire t healing, you are able to "ut your hands on yourself or the "erson you are doing Reiki )ith& In distan e healing, the "erson or animal need not be "hysi ally "resent& To add the symbols to a Reiki hands/on session, sim"ly 'isuali<e them 9imagine they are there:& Hold them in your mind and they )ill a ti'ate& =ou an dra) them in the air )ith your hand before beginning the session or a "osition, dra) them on or o'er the re ei'er$s body, or dra) them on the roof of your mouth )ith your tongue& Use them in this )ay, too, for dire t healing&

CHO-KU-REI
The first of the symbols is the Cho-Ku-Rei, the use of )hi h is to in rease "o)er& In Reiki it is kno)n as 6the light s)it h7& -s in ele tri ity, the light is s)it hed on )hen you "ut your hands do)n to heal& %hen you add the Cho-Ku-Rei, the light is boosted from a fifty/)att bulb to fi'e hundred )atts& Reiki II as a )hole boosts your healing ability from a 11> urrent to a 88>/"o)er line, and Reiki III takes it from alternating urrent to dire t& 2y 'isuali<ing the Cho-Ku-Rei symbol your ability to a ess Reiki energy is in reased many times& =ou )ill "robably use it )ith e'ery healing& The Cho-Ku-Rei on entrates Reiki in one fo used s"ot by alling all the energy of the ?oddess Uni'erse into the healing& In the ar heology of this "lanet, s"irals al)ays re"resent ?oddess energy& Take guidan e on )hether to use it lo k)ise or anti/ lo k)ise& In using the symbols, intent is e*tremely im"ortant@ if your )ill is for in rease, the symbol )ill gi'e you in rease )hi he'er dire tion it is dra)n in&

SEI-HE-KI
The Sei-He-Ki is ne*t, and this symbol is Traditionally designated for emotional healing& It )ould also be used )hen someone in a healing session is u"set, distraught, or emotionally disturbed& Used for "rote tion, "urifi ation, leaning and leansing& - definition is 6?od and man oming together,7 or 6-s -bo'e, So 2elo)7& The symbol brings di'inity into human energy "atterns and aligns the u""er hakras& 3ra) o'er head, 1st and 8nd hakras for learing& Reiki energy goes to )here healing is needed, to e'ery le'el of the "hysi al, emotional, mental, and s"iritual bodies& 2y using the Sei-He-Ki, the emotional as"e t is s"e ifi ally addressed and this is often the key to the healing& - "ainful emotion or trauma that has been held )ithin is brought to the surfa e& The re ei'er of the healing re onne ts )ith the "ain long enough to finish it and let it go& %ith the emotion released, the "hysi al disease often 'anishes& -nger, frustration, fear, grief, and loneliness are more often the sour e of human disease than any ba teria, 'irus, or organi malfun tion& %ith this in mind, the Sei-He-Ki an be used )ith most healings&
