Reiki Symbols
These are the Reiki symbols as they were taught to me. The arrows and numbers in
the pictures indicate how the symbols are to be drawn. There are many variations of
some symbols but they all work, use your intuition to find the right one for you.

Cho Ku Rei

Sei He Ki

Hon Sha Ze
Sho Nen

Tibetan Dai
Ko Myo

The first symbol is Cho-KU-Rei (pronounced cho-kooray), which is often referred to as the 'power symbol.
You will normally use this symbol in every healing
session, as frequently as you feel is right. Its affect is
to channel far stronger healing energy. Some people
may feel attracted to drawing it counter clockwise
instead. If you experiment, you will usually find which
feels better for you.
The second symbol is SEI-HE-KI (pronounced sayhay-kee) and is used in most healings. It is sometimes
called the 'emotional symbol' because it specifically
addresses the emotional healing process and helps
release deeply repressed feelings, quickly and easily. It
is usually drawn once at the start of a session, and can
be used again when you feel drawn to it at any time
during the healing.
Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (pronounced hon-sha-zee-shownen) "The Distance Symbol" Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is
used to send Reiki. You can send Reiki to anyone and
anything. It is used to send Reiki over distance and
time (such as when using Reiki to heal a past trauma or
sending Reiki to a point in the future when you or
someone might need it). It is also drawn before
sending a distant attunement. You may be guided
intuitively to use it in other situations when necessary.
If you feel you need to use it but have trouble recalling
it exactly, just repeat the name of of the symbol and let
Reiki do the rest for you.
The Dai ku Myo is also known as the Master Symbol.
Some people may feel attracted to drawing it instead
of usui symbol. If you experiment, you will usually
find which feels better for you.

Usui Dai
Ko Mio

The Dai ku Myo is also known as the Master Symbol.

This is the energy that the Reiki master activates to do
the Attunements that make the Reiki energies
permanently accessible to the new practitioner. Several
Reiki Masters differentiate between 'Master' & 'GrandMaster'. A master attunement activates the Dai ku myo
as the spiritual intuitive energy but does not give the
ability to do attunements.

Raku (Fire
Serpent)

This Symbol is pronounced "ra-koo" which is mainly

used at the end of attunements, take a deep breath and
hold it in, move around the back of the receiver then
draw the RAKU from their head, down along the spine
and down to the ground, simultaneously releasing the
breath. Inform the receiver that the process is complete
and that they should sit still for a few minutes before
arising. It does not initiate healing energy, but instead
is involved in grounding the receiver, it may also be
used at the end of a healing session or at other times
when additional grounding is needed. Now a big tip
when attuning people to reiki, sending distant
treatments don't try to hard trust in the Intelligent Reiki
Energy and you will never fail ! the main word to
remember is your INTENT ! so take it easy let the
energy flow.

Non Traditional Reiki Symbols

Halu

Zonar

Harth

Halu means love, truth, and beauty. It can

also mean harmony. It is supposed to be a
deeper ray of healing. This symbol is an
amplification of Zonar. Halu is said to restore
balance. It is thought to bring about "deep
healing" at causal and karmic levels. Like the
Usui Reiki symbol, Sei Hei Ki, it is supposed
to help dissolve negative patterns in the
unconscious mind that we use to keep
ourselves from truth, and also to break up
delusion and denial. It is also used to open a
channel to higher consciousness. It can be
used to repel and dispel psychic attack and
psychological attacks.
This symbol is pronounced "zoe nar". Zonar
means "infinity" or eternity. To draw the
symbol, first draw the "Z" and then the
infinity three times. This symbol is thought to
work with past lives. The theory being that
the cells carry the memory of trauma, and
ideas from both this life and previous lives.
This symbols is thought to help us work
through these issues and release them and the
associated Karma. Because of this it is
thought to work well with child abuse.
This symbol stand for Love, Truth, Beauty,
Harmony and Balance. It is a symbol for the
Heart, as well as from Heart from which the
healing and love flow.
After drawing this symbol and energizing it
with the Cho Ku Reis, close your eyes and
you may see a 3-dimenional pyramid
constructed to scale rotating in front of you.
Envisioning ourselves going into a pyramid
in meditation can be a very powerful
experience. You can also see yourself going
into the HARTH (or any of the other symbol
during meditation).

Om

This symbol is pronounced "Ah uu mm". It is

a Sanskrit symbol used in many eastern
spiritual practices. The sacred sound of the
Universe. Om cleans, stabilizes and seals the
aura. It brings in light, purifies, protects and
connects with GOD. Om is chanted and
visualized in gold by and individual or in
groups to be used for healing or psychic
attunement; sound psychically charges the air
with prana which is under the direction of
thought and can be directed specifically. It is
recognized as the primal sound and chanted
to control natural manifestations; represents
the three manifestations of all life: creation,
preservation and destruction Use in the
initiation process to seal in the other symbols
or to seal each part of the attunement. Om
opens the crown and if drawn above the head
opens a pathway to God and higher
consciousness. I have found that repeating
the Mantra "Ah um mm" that the Reiki
energy doubles, it is also good for your
Chakras

Rama

Rama, interchangeable with "Ram" or "God"

means abiding joy. Rama connects us to
Gaia, Earth energy, and clears our lower six
chakras. Rama is used to clear negative
energy, create determination and revive a
person's chi

Mara

This is the symbol for Earth, and it connects

us to the blue electromagnetic energy within
the earth. It is also a symbol for abundance
and rounding, and of course it can be
energized with the CHO KU REIs and send
to a checkbook, bank account, appointment
calendar, diary etc. It can be used in
combination with the other symbols to help
ground the healing energies.

Gnosa

Pronounced, "Know Sa", the word comes

from Gnosis meaning mystical and spiritual
knowledge acquired through feeling and
prophecies from God. Gnosa helps release
our higher self to communicate more clearly
in every day life. As it increases awareness it
uplifts consciousness creating a direct
connection with God. Like Harth, Gnosa is a
primary symbol in Karuna reiki

Kriya

Pronounced "Kree Yah", it means perfect

balance and action. The Law of Kriya is that
of physical manifestation. Thought to help to
heal the human race. Kriya balances energy,
raises awareness and transforms thought into
action

Iava

Pronounced "Ee-Ah-Vah", it balances the

four elements. When drawing the four small
loops, say "Earth" with the first, "Water"
with the second, "Wind or Air" with the third,
and "Fire" with the fourth. Iava dispels
illusion, conditionings and untruths. Iava
aids in acting in the moment from a place of
truth rather than re-acting to circumstances.
It also helps heal the Earth

Shanty

Pronounced, "Shawn-Tee", it means peace.

Shanti helps heal the past and make way for
the present. We use Shanty to send peace to
the past, free our attachments and heal. It
releases fear, anger, hurt while soothing the
aura

Dumo

Pronounced, "do moe", it represents the

swirling heat of the Kundalini. Also known
as Tibetan Master Symbol or Tibetan Dai Ko
Mio, it is the heat felt over the spine as the
Kundalini awakens. This heat is the
unification of the body and the mind. Dumo
ignites this fire in the root chakra, pulls
negative energy and disease from the body
and releases it. Dumo heals on the deepest of
levels

Tibetan
Fire Serpant

This symbol in also almost identical to the

Fire serpent symbol in Tibetan Reiki. It is
drawn from the top down, and never from the
base of the Spins upwards. It helps to clear
the chakras and then when the chakras are
clear, the Kundalini fire can rise safely. This
symbol has been found to work well with
Spinal injuries, moving energy up ad down
the spine to clear blockages, and for specific
issues in a specific chakra and related glands
such as in the new pause.

Antahkarana

Antahkarana Symbol - A symbol consisting

of a cube shape with 7's on its face surfaces.
Presumably of Tibetan origin although this
cannot be determined. Claimed to have
panacea type effects on all areas of healing.
This is used in a specific meditation as well
as on "master frequency generator plates"
developed by Ralf Jensen.

Hosanna means, "God, help!"

It is used for clearing anything or anyone.
After drawing the symbols and closing
your eyes, you might ask the angels to fill
the symbol with Violet Flames of
Transformation.
Hosanna

Motor and Zanon

Lon Say

The Hosannas may be drawn on either side

of CHO KU RAYs.

This is very similar to the Tibetan

Mastersymbol,the Dai Ko Myo. It is a
symbol with two names, Motor=going in,
and Zanon- coming out.
The Symbol works to release a virus in the
following manner; Energise Motor 3 times
with Cho Ku Rei. Motor goes into the body
and the little squiggle catches the virus.
You then draw and energise the same
symbol but with name Zanon three times.
The symbol then reverses polarity and
leaves the body taking the virus with it. Fill
the spaces where the virus was with healing
energy, ( remember the universe fills void)

Draw on the entire body.

Helps to release viruses, infections and
negativity.

Len So My

Yod

Works to open energy blocks.

Saves blood loss, improves blood clotting
power, to set right emotional problems among
family members. Increases the Divin love.

Yod is a powerful yet strange symbol. It is also

used to connect to higher guidance and psychic
ability through the heart

Jo Ki Kei Shin meaning Pure Joy Pledged to

God. Reiki circles Johrei means White Light.

Johrei

Kasina Meditation
The word Kasina means a meditation object whereby the mind is concentrated. In Therevada
Buddhism, forty visual objects suitable for meditation are listed. Ten of these forty are referred
to as kasinas. These kasinas are the concepts of earth, water, fire, wind, the colors blue, red,
yellow and white, and the ideas of enclosed space and bright light or consciousness.
Contemplation on one of these kasinas allows the meditator to reach states of rapture referred
to as jhanas. Kasina are generally presented as colored disks with the particular properties of
the desired type of kasina. An earth kasina would be a reddish brown disk created by spreading
clay, earth, or similar material onto a backing material.
The amount of time that should be spent on kasina meditation varies between subjects. The
amount of time normally spent on other meditations should suffice for kasina meditation.
Initially, a teacher for this practice should be consulted, but after this, solitary practice is
permitted. Several kasina devices and a suitable place for practice must be found before
meditation can begin. The meditator should assume a comfortable sitting position,
approximately one and a half to three yards from the kasina object. Meditation should be on
the center of the colored image, not on the border or outside distractions. It is acceptable to
blink the eyes to reduce fatigue. Once focus on the kasina has been established, verbalization is
abandoned and only the nature of the kasina considered. All other thoughts or sensory
experiences must be avoided when practicing kasina meditation.

1. The Earth Kasina (Pathavi)

The method of meditating using the Earth Kasina can be readily understood by one with previous
experience from a past life. He or she might just see a farm or rice paddy field and the Learning
Sign (Uggaha-nimitta) would arise easily. Those who do not have such merit must create a
Kasina.
Making the Earth Kasina
There are two ways of making an Earth Element Kasina: movable and fixed in position.

Movable Kasina
For the first method, find an old piece of cloth, leather, or an old mat. Then tie the corners of the
material to each of four sticks driven into the ground. Then, find some pure mud, if there are any
rocks or leaves in the mud, they should be removed. The mud should be of one color and the
color should be like the color of dawn. Roll the mud into a round ball and place it on the piece
of material. Mold the mud until it becomes one piece with one color. Make it into a smooth
round shape with a flattened bottom on the prepared material. The diameter should be the
distance between the tip of the thumb and the tip of the middle finger when they are spread out
plus the width of four fingers [6-7 in. or 15-17 cm.].
Fixed Kasina
Pound many stakes into the ground close together at the bottom and open wide at the top like a
lotus leaf [cone shape]. Weave a net of string like a spiders web and tie it to support the stakes.
If there is not enough dawn-colored mud, fill the bottom with some other color and finish off the
top with the clean dawn-colored mud. The Kasina must be round. The diameter at the top should
be the distance from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the forefinger when spread out plus the
width of four fingers, as in the first method.
Meditating with the Earth Kasina
The meditator should sit on a cushion or platform raised about 8-10 inches or in a position
comfortable for seeing the Kasina. If sitting too high, one will have to look down. Over time this
might cause strain in the neck. If one sits too low, it will be difficult to see the Kasina. The
approximate distance from the Kasina should be about 2 - 2.5 ft.or 60-80 cm. Sitting too close,
one might see the defects in the Kasina and fail to achieve concentration.
This is just one example, there are many ways to make an Earth Kasina. Another example, one
could make an Earth Kasina in a three-dimensional shape such as the round shape of a sphere. As
mentioned before, some can just see a piece of plowed mud or threshed rice and take that as a
Sign.
When one has prepared everything and is ready to meditate, it is recommended to take a shower
and scrub the body in order to be comfortable, relaxed, and eliminate everything which disturbs
the mind. Contemplate the negative consequences of lust and sensual desire, see it as the cause of
suffering and make oneself love and have faith in the Kasina. Think I will attain Nirvana by
using this earth Kasina, then, close the eyes and recite, Pathavi, Pathavi, Pathavi or earth, earth,
earth.
Whenever this initial sign disappears, the meditator can open his or her eyes and stare at it until
he or she can remember it again. Then, close the eyes and meditate over and over, 100 times,
1,000 times or more. Soon he or she will attain the Learning Sign (Uggaha-nimitta).
When the Learning Sign arises, keep maintaining it. Soon, one will be able to continue onto the
Counterpart Sign or Patibhaga-nimitta. When one attains the Counterpart Sign, it means he has

succeeded in reaching the First Jhana. Continue doing the same procedure until reaching the
Fourth or the Fifth Jhana.
Please note that for this Earth Kasina, the Learning Sign will appear with the cracks, blemishes
and flaws of the Kasina, but the Counterpart Sign will appear one hundred to a thousand times
purer and clearer than that of the Learning Sign, like a crystal lens coming out of a bag or like an
oyster shell which has been well polished or like the moon coming out from behind a cloud.

2. The Water Kasina (Apo)

Various methods for making and using the Water Kasina are similar to those for the Earth
Kasina, so only that which is different will be explained. One who has made merit in a past life
regarding this Kasina will be able to attain the Learning Sign easily when he or she sees water in
the sea, in a pond or in a well.
Those without such previous merit will need to use a container such as a bowl filled with clean,
clear, colorless water and find a quiet place to sit and meditate. The meditator sits and looks at
the water alternating looking with the eyes open and visualizing with the eyes closed, while
reciting Apo, Apo, Apo or water, water, water over and over until the Learning Sign is attained.
For this Water Kasina, the Counterpart Sign (Patibhaga-nimitta) will appear like a crystal clear
sphere standing still or like a crystal palm fan in the air.

3. The Fire Kasina (Tejo)

One who has past merit with the Fire Kasina can easily attain the Learning Sign (Uggahanimitta) just from seeing a fire such as a forest fire, a fire in an oven, a fire in a lamp or a fire
people have lit.
Others must gather hard firewood that will burn a long time without going out and will not be
smoky [If the fire goes out quickly, one will have to waste time adding wood and smoke would
disturb the meditator]. To make a Kasina, light the fire, then place a thick mat or piece of leather
which can withstand the fire between yourself and the fire for protection from the heat. Make a
hole in the center about four inches wide. Contemplate the fire as seen through this hole.
An oil lamp or candle can also be used. One disadvantage is that the wind can easily extinguish
the flame. One must find a place protected from the wind, such as a closed room or cave.
Another disadvantage is that the lamp or candle could fall while the eyes are closed and be
dangerous. Make sure everything is safe before using an oil lamp or candle.
The advantages of an oil lamp or candle are that they are more convenient than finding wood and
building a fire and there is no need for the protecting mat or piece of leather, it is also not as hot
as sitting by a fire. The meditator can just light the lamp or candle, stare at the flame, and
mentally recite Tejo, Tejo, Tejo or Fire, Fire, Fire.
In this Fire Kasina, the Learning Sign appears like a spark from a wood fire falling to earth or if
the meditator is staring at a fire that he or she did not light, it may appear as burned wood,
charcoal, or smoke within the sign. But when the Counterpart Sign is attained, it will stand still
like a red cloth hung up or a golden palm fan or golden pillar.

4. The Wind Kasina (Vayo)

A meditator observes the leaves on the topmost branches of a tree, seeing how they are moved
back and forth by the wind, or one can observe the hair of a person being blown by the wind.
These can be taken as sign, or one can observe the wind blowing against ones own body. In any
case, the meditator contemplates wind and recites Vayo, Vayo, Vayo or Wind, Wind, Wind.
For this Kasina, the Learning Sign will appear as a moving sign like the steam rising from
boiling rice. The Counterpart Sign appears as a sphere standing still.
Note: the first four meditaton objects or kasina are grouped into Element Meditation
Objects.

5. The Green Kasina (Nila)

The Green Kasina can be anything which is green in color. One with past merit can readily attain
the Learning Sign by just seeing a clump of flowers, plant clippings by an altar, green cloth or
green crystal. Others must create a green Kasina by collecting green flowers such as green
Lotuses or Jasmine and arranging them in a vase with the tops even with the rim. Select only
flowers of pure petal, no stamen, pistils, stems or leaves.
Another way is to take pieces of green cloth and roll them up to fill a basket so that all the tops
are even. Alternatively, stretch green cloth over a basket and tie it down like the head of the
drum. The meditator can also color a piece of paper or cloth green, make it round and tack it to
the wall. In any case, the meditator stares at the green color, reciting Nila, Nila, Nila or Green,
Green, Green. For the Green Kasina, the Learning Sign will show the blemishes of the Kasina
such as stamen and the gap between petals, but the Counterpart Sign will be free of any such
faults. It might appear as a green crystal palm fan in clear daylight.

6. The Yellow Kasina (Pita)

The meditator practicing with the Yellow (Pita) Kasina can use any yellow object such as a
bunch of yellow flowers, a piece of yellow cloth or anything naturally yellow. A person with past
merit can readily attain the Learning Sign by seeing a group of blooming flowers, yellow cloth,
or some other yellow object. Others must create a Kasina. One can use yellow Jasmine, yellow
cloth or anything naturally yellow. The meditator stares at the yellow and recites Pita, Pita, Pita
or Yellow, Yellow, Yellow. Other details are as already explained for the Earth Kasina.

7. The Red Kasina (Lohita)

A meditator with merit from past lives can readily attain the Learning Sign when seeing a clump
of red objects, a red flower such as a single rose or a naturally red object such as red cloth or red
crystal. Others must create a Kasina by using flowers such as red flowers, red cloth or some
naturally red objects. The meditator then sits staring at the Kasina, reciting Lohita, Lohita,
Lohita or Red, Red, Red until the Learning Sign is attained. Others details are as already
explained for the Green Kasina.

8. The White Kasina (Odata)

A meditator with merit from past lives can easily attain the Learning Sign by just seeing a white
flower such as Jasmine or Lotus, or a piece of white cloth or any other naturally white object.
One might also use a round object of silver or tin or even the moon as a Kasina. Others must
construct a Kasina. They may collect white flowers, or use white cloth or naturally white objects
as previously described. Then, one stares at the Kasina repeating Odata, Odata, Odata or White,
White, White, over and over, 100 to 1,000 times or more, until the Learning Sign arises.
Note: The fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth Kasina are grouped into Color Meditation
Objects.

9. The Light Kasina (Aloka)

A meditator with merit from past lives can readily attain the Learning Sign by simply seeing
sunlight or moonlight hit the ground or passing through a hole in a wall or seeing light through a

hole in the ceiling or through the leaves of the trees. Others must construct a Kasina. Use the
light from a candle or oil lamp inside a pot resting on its side. Cover the opening of the pot with
cloth and make a hole in the cloth to let the light out. Turn the pot to face the wall, so there will
be a circle of light on the wall. If the pot is not covered, the sphere of light will be too large. This
will cause ones vision to blur. The circle from a lamp will last longer than sunlight or
moonlight. When all is set, the meditator stares at the circle of light and recites Aloka, Aloka,
Aloka or Light, Light, Light. For this Kasina, the Learning Sign is like a light circle on the
ground or wall. The Counterpart Sign is like a three-dimensional round sphere or bright crystal
ball.

10. The Space Kasina (Akasa)

The Akasa Kasina is also called the Paricchinnakasa Kasina or Delimited, Excited Space Kasina.
The Kasina is staring at the emptiness of a hole, not the emptiness of the whole sky. One stares at
the empty space in a hole in a wall or partition between curtains.
A meditator with merit from previous lives can readily attain the Learning Sign from just seeing
an empty hole in a wall or a window. Others must create a Kasina by making a hole in the roof of
a tent or in a piece of leather or mat. The width of the hole should be the distance between the tip
of the thumb and tip of the forefinger when spread out, plus the width of four fingers [6-7 in. or
15-17 cm.]. The meditator stares at the Kasina and recites Akasa, Akasa, Akasa or Space,
Space, Space, until the Learning Sign (Uggaha-nimitta) arises. In this Kasina, the Learning Sign
is like the hole one has made, if the hole is square, the Learning Sign will be square. The
Counterpart Sign is like a bright sphere of the hole. Other details are similar to the earth Kasina.

Benefits: Kasina Magical Powers

When the meditator practices until becoming skillful, each of these ten Kasina results in different
magical powers. Here are some examples:
Earth Kasina (Pathavi) attainment can yield the power to make copies of oneself or the ability to
move the ground into the air or into the ocean and walk on it and one can stand or sit in the air or
on the water.
Water Kasina (Apo) attainment can result in the power to travel up and down through the
ground, to create rain, or to conjure up a barrier to stop the flow of water in a river or sea.
Fire Kasina (Tejo) attainment can give the abilities to spray smoke and fire from the body,
conjure up a rain of fire, shoot out a stream of fire, burn up specific things, make light to see
invisible things, or to burn oneself up with fire to complete the extinction of all passions
(Parinibbana).
Wind Kasina (Vayo) attainment can bring the ability to travel as fast as a storm or to create wind
and cause a downpour.

Green Kasina (Nila) attainment can produce the ability to conjure up green images or make it
dark or bright.
Yellow Kasina (Pita) attainments can cause the ability to conjure up yellow images or fulfill the
wish that things become gold.
Red Kasina (Lohita) attainment can give rise to the ability to conjure up red images.
White Kasina (Odata) attainment can bring about the ability to conjure up white images,
eliminate Drowsiness (Thina-middha), illuminate the darkness, or make light to see things with
the celestial eyes.
Light Kasina (Aloka) attainment can lead to the ability to make oneself transparent, eliminate
Drowsiness, illuminate the darkness, or make light to see things with the celestial eyes.
Space Kasina (Akasa) attainment can create the ability to make secret things public, to conjure
up a hole in solid things such as down into land or through a mountain, or to walk through a solid
wall.

How to Read an Aura

An aura is the energy field that is believed to surround every living being (including plants and
animals). Most of the time, the aura is seen as layers of color around the subject. Becoming an
aura reader is something that takes a considerable amount of practice. Some people are born with
the ability, but anyone can learn it. This article is for beginners with an open mind.
STEPS
Find a suitable background that fits your practice. If you're looking at the aura around your
hand, a large sheet of white paper might be enough. If you're viewing a friend's aura, a plain wall
for them to sit in front of is essential.
Get the proper lighting. Not too bright, and not too dark. Most people find that natural light,
such as sunlight or a candle flame in a shady room, works best.
Position your partner, or yourself.

If reading yourself, hold one of your hands up against a white background in any way
that's comfortable to you.
If reading a partner, make them comfortable, and explain what you'll be doing. Have
them wear clothes that aren't too patterned. They don't have to sit very still, so they can
have a drink or read a book if they want one.

Relax your eyes as you gaze at your subject. It may help to look at the tips of your fingers or
the head of your partner. Let your eyes fall out of focus a bit. You should start to see a haze
around the edges, it might seem like a very clear light, or a light blue/white mist.
Determine any color(s) that are visible. Colors may be clear and bright, or cloudy and muddy.
Some people (like beginners) can only see one dominant color while others may see multiple
colors.
Be aware of after-images. If you stare at the same spot for long enough, your eyes will start to
see after-images that are the inverse of what you're looking at. These are not auras, and you'll
know this because you'll be able to see the after-image for a short time in front of your eyes,
wherever you look. After-image color pairs are:

black and gold

red and turquoise
orange and blue
yellow and violet
green and pink
blue and light gold
white and space

Be patient. When you first see an aura, it'll often disappear as soon as you blink or move your
eyes. It takes practice to hold your focus steady.
Record what you see. Drawing a body outline and then shading in colors around it can be a fun
way of recording what you see for later analysis, and it's something to show your subject so they
can relate to what you're looking for. Be aware that some colors in auras are very difficult to
recreate with colored pencils.

TIPS

Choose a time when you are relaxed and have no distractions.

Don't push yourself. If your eyes get tired, have a rest.
Be open to seeing all colors and brightnesses. A dense and bright aura means someone
has a lot of energy, and this can be easier to see. Colors will shift and change moment to
moment.
If you don't see anything right away, that's okay. It may take some more time to get used
to it. Remember that it is different with everyone who tries.What you see is a while you
will see a pale milky aura coming from the object. Keep looking steadily at it and a bright
yellow or green aura will start building up from the object. Don't change focus or look
directly at it or the aura will disappear.
Get a potted plant or bunch of flowers and study the aura. The aura you see will emanate
from the plant itself and also from the colours of the petals. The Orange hue comes from
the green of the stems and leaves. You will also see a more distinct etheric and a
shimmering optical effect around them. This is the life force of the plant.
For the next step use an animal, dog or cat etc, if you have one. Try and observe them
when they are resting.
Observe your own aura. This can be done both inside and outside in the sun. Hold your
arm out and study it against the sky or clouds. Alternatively, lie down and look at your

legs. Make sure the skin is bare when you do this, and remember, grass will give an
orange hue to your aura.
When you feel proficient enough, try it with a human subject. Just remember to calm and
don't try too hard. Do the same as in the original training exercise. When you try it on a
person though, get them to remove some of their clothing and study the bare skin area,
with this area highlighted against a neutral background.
On a human the first thing you will see is the etheric, like pale smoke clinging to the skin.
Next you will see a shimmering optical effect in the air extending maybe several inches,
depending on the strength of the person's aura. Keep trying and colour will build up from
the etheric, this is the aura. With practise you will be able to see more and more of it. The
coloured part of the human aura can vary from a few inches to a couple of feet wide.
The brightness of a person's aura has a lot to do with how they feel. If they feel happy
and full of life their aura is stronger and easier to see. Try getting them to wear
headphones and listen to their favourite music, this will help energize their aura.
Try it on your volunteer outside. Make sure the sun is behind you and use clouds as a
backdrop.
Hold your hands out in front of you with fingers gently spread, and relaxed, palms toward
you. Concentrate, now, for a moment, on the area in space around one of your hands.
Gaze, with your active mind, at the shape of the hand and the area around it. Release;
relax now into receptive phase as you have learned to do, while glancing away from your
hand.
After attempting to view the aura around your hands in this way, call in the energy.
Invoke Reiki , as described for beginning treatments, to bring in the energy to your hands,
feeling it build. Repeat the glancing technique again, now, using the same technique to
attempt to see the aura around one of your hands. Perform several "cycles," allowing
impressions to form. What do you see? Is there any difference between the apparent size,
