What are the Reiki Symbols used for?

Cho Ku Rei

Reiki symbols are considered sacred healing symbols which enhance the flow of Life Force Energy. They are like keys that open doors to higher levels of awareness and manifestation. The Reiki symbol Cho Ku Rei (pictured above) is the power symbol. It is believed that energy increases significantly when this symbol is used. It is often used at the beginning of the healing session, or any other time that additional power is needed. It is geared specifically for healing within the physical body.

How were the Reiki Symbols Created?

Reiki symbols are Sanskrit-derived Japanese forms. Sanskrit is the mother-tongue of all other languages. It is the language of the Vedas, the oldest writings known to man. The Vedas say that Sanskrit is the language of the spirit world. 

What is the Significance of Reiki Symbols?

Reiki symbols are shown to Reiki students prior to being attuned.  While being attuned, an imprinting takes place that links the image they are shown to the metaphysical energies each of the symbols represent. Reiki attunement actually empowers the symbols so that they may fulfill their intended purpose. This process has been created by a Divine covenant or sacred agreement between the Creator and those who have been attuned.

The symbols have their own consciousness, which makes it possible to meditate on them and receive guidance on how to use them directly from the symbols themselves.

Gift Ideas for a Reiki Master

Reiki Healing Angel Jewelry

QUESTION: My wife is a Reiki Master and I'm looking for crystals to give her as a gift

ANSWER: Hi, thank you for your email. If you don't have anything specific in mind, we can recommend to you a few healing crystals that other Reiki Masters have found helpful in their practice:

Quartz - to enhance self-healing for the client & expand the reiki healer's healing energies

Obsidian - to protect the reiki healer from the client's unwanted energies from entering the healer's aura, thus keeping the healer safe from fatigue and attachment

Amethyst - to call in the universal forces in aiding the reiki healer's session, connecting with the spiritual energies during healing

Sacred Figures - if your wife is comforted by a particular deity or figurine, I would consider these as a gift as well:

Kwan Yin - The Goddess of Mercy and Compassion, looking after all of our souls before she ascends

Ganesh - The hindu elephant god - Remover of Obstacles and Bringer of Wealth

Angels - connecting to the angelic realms

Cross - for lightworkers, those who are doing positive healing work in the light

You may click on the names to take you to the right page on our website for gift ideas and purchase. If you have any additional questions, we are always happy to help you out. You can use our live email button on our website or email us at idigcrystals@gmail.com

Whatever you choose, I am sure your wife will be thrilled with your thoughtful crystal healing gift!

Sincerely,
Sheila Satin

Gift of Being
May 20th (Thu.) 6:15-7:30pm:
Michael Zonta will discuss how each of us in the womb repeats the cellular history of life on the planet as we develop. We start as a single celled amoeba and proceed to a reptilian-stage, fish-stage, monkey-stage and finally reach the human stage.

We also repeat the social history of man from a caveman-like infancy to a tribal childhood to adolescence (“First Maturity)”and finally becoming a full member of society.

But there is one more step we often miss out on, called “Second Maturity”. This is our emergence into full citizenship in the Universe.

Tuition: Only $5, free with FM pass

REIKI: Attunements

QUESTION: Hi, Lisa! I have a few questions about Reiki attunements offered by Satin Crystals. I saw on craigslist that you offer attunements and classes on specific dates. Will there be a class/attunement offered sometime during the winter season? I am busy with school and would love to attend an attunement session during my winter break which will be sometime near Christmas. My second question is, if you are attuned to level 1 reiki already, do I have to attend the Reiki 1 class or can I just jump to reiki level 2?
Thanks so much for your time.

ANSWER: Hello - Thank you for contacting us! We are actually offering Reiki 2 today. We will not be offering any attunement near Christmas, as we will be closed during the Holidays.

We will be offering Reiki 1 again on February 6th, 2010 and Reiki 2 is expected to be offered in the spring 2010, date TBD. If you are already attuned in level 1, you are welcome to join our next Reiki 2 class.

Meanwhile we have a lot of other great classes, which you can find & print out at www.satincrystals.com/events.html

Join our mailing list so we can keep you informed.

Hope to meet you soon,
Lisa Satin

REIKI: Animals

QUESTION: Sheila, Thank you for your email and interest in my project. The project is called "Lend your hands to healing" and it engages healing practitioners to volunteer their hands for one day a month to help the Animal Kingdom. We actually kick off this project on Saturday with the SPCA in Potrero Hill/Mission. We are a circle of Reiki/Pranic healers who have committed to working with the SPCA on a regular basis to bring healing to the shelter animals. I believe it is too late to join in with the SPCA however, I am taking this on as a life project, meaning as long as I live so will this project. My goal is to implement Reiki as a healing method in shelters all over the city. I would love your and your sister's help if this project moves and inspires you. As soon as the project with SPCA has been situated I'll need a new group of healers to take on the next shelter. Please let me know if you would be interested in participating. Also, if you know any healers, please spread the word, we can never be too many! :)

I looked at your website, I love it! I would like to take one of your crystal workshops. Unfortunately the one scheduled for this Saturday clashes with my healing project. When will the next one be?

ANSWER: Dear friend, please keep us informed on your project. We have a growing network of healers who are looking for healing projects, especially as we teach more classes! Our next Crystal Healing course will be on Nov 7-8, 2009 weekend. This is also a certification course and although it is part two, it can be taken independently from part 1. You will be learning new crystal healing techniques in each course. Please give us a call, come in or email us if you'd like to sign up for this great certification course. We have two spots left.

You can print out our whole schedule at: http://www.satincrystals.com/events.html

We will have part one of the Crystal Healing course again early next year~! We also have healing parties, like the one last night and weekly thursday meditations which have grown tremendously in the last three months, so if you're available Thursdays 6pm-7:30pm, we'd love for you to join us!

Of course we have smaller workshops which fits into many people's busy schedule as well! This month we have Crystal Divination, Crystal Massage which can be very beneficial to animals and Numerology!

We look forward to working with you,
Sincerely,
Sheila Satin
