This is a simple practical manual for Usui

Reiki. level two
No manual will ever be complete. There is
always more to learn.

This manual is all on one page to make it easier to print or save even
though that makes it rather large
My main intention is to have the manual that I use in personal classes
available on the internet for the benefit of my students and for others
who might find value in it. I was a pioneer in remote attunement and
therefore feel a responsiblity to provide information for Reiki students
who may not have had an opportunity to receive detailed training.
Traditionally many Reiki Masters hold that the symbols are sacred or
secret and should not be shown to people who are not attuned to level
two I respect them and the tradition of secrecy but feel strongly that I
must have the symbols in the manual for maximum helpfulness . I was
familiar with most of the symbols in a Buddhist context prior to
receiving Reiki .The symbols cannot be used to connect with the Reiki
energy and functions unless a person has been attuned to Reiki.

Usui Reiki Second Degree Manual

by Peggy Jentoft

The Reiki second degree training and attunement focuses on more

specifically directed use of the Reiki energy, particularly mental
emotional healing and remote healing . Reiki two practitioners also
have more tools for working with other people and for the world
community.
Just for today, I will not anger, I will not worry, I will do my work
honestly will be kind to all people and I will be appreciative of my
many blessings .
This is a version of the Meiji Emperor's precepts which were adopted
by Usui Sensei and are known as the Reiki principles. Usui Sensei
hoped that all Reiki practitioners would spend a few moments each
morning and evening to reflect on these precepts. People who do this
may find that it becomes easier to live up to them and have a happier
more balanced life .

Ethics
Because of the nature of remote healing and mental emotional healing
work
and the fact that practitioners may find themselves developing more
control of energy and their personal will there is a need for more
emphasis on ethical issues than there was in the first degree of Reiki.
Obtain permission before treating anyone .
Some teachers feel that you must always have specific permission from
the individual before treating. Other teachers feel that when it is
impossible to obtain permission you may send the treatment as an offer
which the intended recipient is free to accept or refuse. You can usually
tell after a while if energy is accepted or refused. I do not feel that it is
compassionate to absolutely refuse to offer treatment if specific
permission is unobtainable . You would not allow someone to bleed to
death at the scene of an accident if you had the power to assist them
even if they were not able to give permission would you?
Never attempt to Force healing on anyone. You are not the one who is
to decide what is in the best interest of another. It can be a temptation
particularly when dealing with addictions to attempt to impose your
will on another.
Never promise a healing or cure this is not in your control People have
the right to choose whether or not to accept healing even someone who
comes to you for treatment may refuse to accept healing energy .
Never Diagnose, do not give medical instructions and never suggest that
anyone discontinue medications or other treatment.
Respect your client's confidentiality. Do not repeat anything you learn
during a treatment either from the client or from your intuitive
perceptions .
When using examples and case histories make sure that the parties
involved can not be identified .
Being a Reiki Practitioner does not give you any particular spiritual
merit. People might on occasion try to make you a Guru. You might
even get over impressed with yourself but remember that when you see
dramatic effects from treatment it is not because of your personal merit
its because of Reiki .
Energy should not be directed indiscriminately. Send energy for the
highest good of all concerned. Allow it to be used by the high self of the
recipient for their greatest good. When directing energy, ask the person
first if they want a treatment or go within and ask their higher self. Use
your intuition. If the Reiki is not accepted by the recipient it will return
to you. Some people send Reiki while holding an intention that if the
intended recipient wants it they can invite it in at the time convenient to
them and it will be there for that person .Never assume that another

being wishes to be healed, even if they say that they do. Don't intend to
heal a person; just allow the energy to work. Don't judge the
effectiveness, the energy is working. Results may not be obvious
immediately. Reiki energy continues to work long after the actual
treatment is finished. Honor the energy, yourself , the intention and the
recipient for the work performed. Where awareness is focused, energy
is concentrated .

About Symbols
There are three kinds of symbols or viewpoints about symbols that
are used in healing, meditation and for spiritual, mental and emotional
development. One view is that with symbols like the forms used in
sacred geometry or the tattwas and Yantra Mandalas the actual shape
or form is said to contain the power to waken an ability or create a
result or convey mystical information and realization itself. Another
possibility is that symbols acquire power by being charged with the
intention of people or from being in proximity to spiritual ability or
teachers or places . The last kind of symbol or view of symbols is that
they are tools or triggers that enable you to connect with and use a
spiritual function, information, and so forth, that exists separate from
the symbol itself. The symbol is more like an on button. The power is in
what the symbols represent rather than having any power of its own.
These viewpoints are not really mutually exclusive they are just
different ways of looking at things. Some people in the United states
have taught that the Reiki symbols and their names or mantra
themselves had the power and were sacred and secret not to be revealed
to anyone who was not an initiate. I (the author) was already familiar
with three of the four symbols and mantra as shortcut Buddhist terms
for certain concepts and had seen two of them used carved on temple
walls and embroidered on dance clothing and as good luck charms so
I was not surprised when it was confirmed that the symbols used in
Reiki are mostly of the second and third kind. Symbols are a tool to
help you connect with and focus and use the Reiki energy. You may
not need to consciously use them when you are more experienced . In
the beginning it is quite sensible to use them, in time you may just tune
in to the Reiki functions. On the other hand many people do always use
the symbols every time they use Reiki neither way is better than the
other way . In the Reiki symbols, the intent and the active force
coincide, not in the air or on paper, but in your heart, soul, mind, spirit.
If the intent isn't there, you might just as well not draw anything.
Contrary to the popular story of symbols appearing in bubbles Usui
Sensei apparently may have started teaching his Reiki without them
and later introduced the symbols to help provide focus for people who

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (4 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

don't sense the energy as easily as others. As a Practitioner you will

know if the use of the symbols becomes unnecessary for you. It is best
to continue to be open to learn as much as possible about the deeper
meanings behind these terms or symbol forms.
There Are three traditional Symbols used in Usui Reiki level two. These
do not bring in a new or different energy as much as give you ways to
focus and work with a broad range of Universal energy frequencies for
specific purposes . There is one more symbol used in the traditional
Master level of Reiki . Many Reiki variants have developed in the last
20 years since Mrs. Takatas death. Some of these use additional
symbols either from other traditions such as the om and infinity
symbols or that have been channeled by founders of these variants. My
personal experience is that you can almost always access the functions
these symbols are for just by intending to use Reiki for a purpose, say
karmic healing, for example . The Symbols are traditionally drawn
mentally or with the whole hand while repeating the name /mantra of
the symbol silently either one or three times depending on the "school"
your teacher belongs to. They can be visualized whole and "thrown",
drawn with the whole hand or with the third eye using tiny head
movements, or drawn with the tongue on the roof of the mouth . I was
taught that using a finger alone was disrespectful but some teachers do
draw the symbols with a finger. For room clearing and blessing some
practitioners use both hands held palms together as in the Gassho or
prayer position to draw large symbols with very sweeping motions of
the arms. Some people draw the symbol only at the beginning of
treatment others draw them each time they change hand placements .
Some people draw all the symbols every time and others only draw the
one or ones they are calling on.
Most students find that it becomes much easier to memorize and
draw the symbols after they have been attuned to Reiki than it is
before the attunement.

CHO KU REI Focus or Power

(cho koo ray) (long o in cho ) is the Usui power boost mantra and
symbol to increase the effect of Reiki . This function is said to call in
higher universal energy and accelerates Reiki from low to high and
gives greater focus to the energy .Power boost is used with the other
energies as well as by itself during all treatments hands on or distance.
This energy has been used to clear rooms and crystals and to charge
food and water, and in manifestation procedures . This symbol has
been used as a sort of Good Luck charm or "blessing pump" and as a
protective sign. The symbol shown is with the counterclockwise spiral
which is the traditional direction some teachers have apparently

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (5 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

arbitrarily changed the direction of the spiral to clockwise for reasons

of personal spiritual tradition either symbol will work use what is most
comfortable to you the number of times that the spiral crosses the
center line varies from four to six in different teachers renderings .
most people use symbol as they were taught by their own teacher.

his last example is in Mrs.Takata's Own Hand

The ChoKuRei symbol can help start Reiki flowing or give it a feeling
of being more finely tuned or powerful. Most practitioners use it at the
beginning of sessions by drawing it on the palms of their hands or in
their minds or with the third eye or with the tongue on the roof of their
mouth or over the body or the person being treated.

Some meanings of this symbol are taken from

The Essence of Gendai Reiki-ho by Mr. Doi.
Sound - Choku Ray
First Symbol - The earth - Power up - 1st and 2nd Chakra
Relation with people - the earth has been producing, growing, purifying
giving creative energy to everything. Human bodies have the earth's
intention and rhythm built in. Imbalance in it will cause one to develop
disease or unhappiness.
Functions - Activates the intrinsic functions of everything born on
earth by recovering its rhythm and balance, through resonation with
the earth's conscious energy.

This Reiki function is used for Activating and Enhancing Energy ,

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (7 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

focusing , stabilizing and fixing the energy. Clearing and cleansing ,

recharging and revitalizing and general healing and used for improving
the physical or material energy state.
The first symbol is often called Focus or Power symbol or Booster.
The ChoKuRei is sometimes nicknamed "the light switch" as it
connects us to the energy, like a light switch being turned on. It is
thought to turn up the energy, and opens us as channels of the Reiki
energy. . It can help overcome negative resistance patterns. It can help
reduce pain.

It is also used in space clearing. To cleanse a room, Draw it or

visualize it in the corners or on the walls, floor and ceiling of a room
intending it be cleansed and filled with love and compassion energies .
Mentally throw it into the room intending it be filled with light .
Many people do this in the treatment area and before doing treatments
or Attunements .
Draw it on objects in your environment intending they be cleansed and
operate for your highest good. Draw it on objects and run Reiki into
them to charge them with Reiki. ChoKuRei can be used in as many
ways as you can think up.

You can use the ChoKuRei at the start of a healing session to feel the
energetic connection to the Reiki source. You can use it to focus power
at each hand position and on any problem areas. You could draw it
over the person at the end of a healing session to seal and stabilize the
healing .

Some people also use it for protection. For protection, draw it on a

piece of paper and place it on or under things you want filled with
Reiki or mentally visualize or invoke it. You can visualize or imagine
the Symbol surrounding you. Draw the symbol in front and in back
over and on both sides of yourself . Draw it over food and water before
you eat and drink . You can also visualize or draw it over your head
before meditation or meditate on the symbols themselves.
Draw the ChoKuRei on the shower head prior to taking a shower so
that the water is filled with Reiki as it cleanses you . Run Reiki into
your bath water.

To use for manifestation you can activate Choku rei and clearly
visualize what you intend to manifest while running Reiki this will not
bring you things that are not in accord with your high self and soul
purpose. Experiment !

After cleansing crystals you can use the power symbol to empower
them instead of a generator crystal. this is than traditional crystal
clearing and charging methods especially if you use crystals a lot on
grids for doing multiple sends. If you find your energy flagging and
have little time for a self treatment, draw the power symbol down my
body and give yourself a 5 minute zap. Draw it on the palm of each
hand before before sending distant healing. Draw it into the corners of
any rooms that need clearing. Draw it over flower essences essential
oils or shampoo and other personal care items . Draw it on a piece of
paper and wrap it around a sick tree to keep the energy working .Draw
it over food.

SEI HE KI Harmony, Emotional and mental healing (say hay key)

Used to facilitate emotional and mental healing and to assist self

programming and treating addictions and habits as well as all other
mental and emotional concerns, it is said to work on the subconscious.
Some teachers use it on the first 4 chakras only and some use it on all
positions The mental/emotional healing function helps to balance the
right and left sides of the brain, and is often used for healing unwanted
habits or for programming in desired habits.

Meanings of the symbols taken from The Essence of Gendai Reiki-ho

by Mr.. Doi
Sound - Sei Heki Second Symbol - the Moon - Harmony - 3rd and 4th
Chakra
Relation with people - The moon has an effect on the earth like tides. It
also causes constant changes in feelings and rhythm of human bodies.
Being in sync with the moon's conscious energy will bring emotional
releases and stress reduction and help people keep in high spirits.
Functions - Restores psychological and emotional balance and brings
deep healing. Also promotes self growth by increasing sensitivity and
acceptance through resonation with the moon's conscious energy.
Usage - Improving human relationship, bad habits, resolving all sorts
of disorders and karma/trauma with gentle energy of love and
harmony. used for restoring psychological and emotional balance.

It is used to heal mental and emotional habits that no longer work for
you, and emotional and mental distress. It is also used to bring up and
heal the emotional issues underneath physical problems. It helps
reinforce and support positive behavior changes. This function is for
healing and releasing those feelings, desires and conditioning that keeps
us in negative patterns .
Healing with the Sei Hei Ki can be as simple as using the symbol
while doing a healing using the regular hand positions. It can also be
used as part of meditations to help release and heal conditioning and
patterns that underlie problems.
You can use Sei He ki to empower your affirmations and resolutions
and for working on specific areas where you feel emotional processing
is needed simply turn on Reiki and activate the Focus and Harmony
functions with the intention that it work on the kind of issue you are
seeking to heal like fear, anger, grief or resentment for example or to
enhance your own ability to love yourself and others for serenity or
courage or compassion or zest .

Here are some more uses for the Mental/Emotional symbol. The Sei
He Ki.
Some of These suggestions were offered by Jane Berrigan, Fiona Mc
Callum, Susan Bosco and C.J. Use the emotional symbol in the chakras
with the intent that emotional and mental issues be balanced and
healed. if the treatment is specifically for emotional/mental issues), end
by wrapping the recipient in Reiki and seal it with the SHK, too.
Recipients will often report a feeling of lightness and a lifting of despair
and stress. You may want to use the HSZSN too, since many emotional
issues have roots from the recipient's past.
If you are feeling 'out of balance' all you have to do is to place your

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (10 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

hands on your head and think of the SHK and it will tend to bring you
back into balance. This symbol heals more on the higher levels of
consciousness, and is thought to work more in the aura field than on
the physical body.
If a person is complaining even of a headache often it is coming from
some type of emotional or mental tension, so using the SHK symbol is
appropriate in dissipating headaches.
It can also be used for getting rid of 'bad vibes' and for protection.
Bad vibes or negativity coming from others or perceived as coming
from others exists on a mental and emotional level so you can use the
symbol as a form of psychic protection. What you can do is simply
draw this symbol around yourself, perhaps saying something like ''I
protect myself now with divine love and wisdom''. Use the symbol on
each side of you, behind, above, below you and in front of you, and
repeat the words. As you do so, you should feel the protective energy
begin to develop around you. It will tend to harmonize any negative
vibrations that will be coming from others. You can use the SHK and
the CKR for spiritual protection. Another way to give yourself
protection is to visualize an egg shaped energy field around you with
the SHK moving around the surface of the egg, starting at your feet
and working its way around the egg and upwards until it reaches the
top of your head. Do the same with the CKR. Often at work or even at
home we deal with people who we like to think of as our friends but
sometimes there are negative feelings that come up and it is very
valuable to be able to protect our selves and harmonize the situation by
using Reiki.

You can use the SHK to assist with memory. If you have forgotten
something, your keys for instance, take a moment and place your hands
on top of your head and use SHK there. As you do the Reiki say to
yourself 3 times ''I will remember where I placed my keys within one
minute''. Then just relax. Sometimes using Reiki in this way will help
you conscious mind to align itself to that memory, causing you to
remember just where you placed your keys!! Worth a try anyway! It
can work equally well for other things you have forgotten - a person's
name, a telephone no. etc. Often you are trying too hard to remember
and the Reiki energy will simply help you to relax so that the
information will surface again.
Students can use this symbol when taking tests or exams. Before the
test draw the SHK over the paper to help your mind to attune to the
correct answers. Of course it goes without saying that you must have
studied beforehand! Reiki will help your conscious mind access the
correct piece of information from all the data held in your brain. Use it

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (11 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

when that extra concentration is needed and you are feeling bored in
class. Place your hands on your knees and think of the SHK as you
listen to the tutor and it will help you to retain the information being
given. Affirmations are a powerful tool when one is trying to achieve
goals. You can simply repeat a positive phrase over again in your mind
or write it on a piece of paper. Repetition is the key and the SHK can be
used to empower your affirmations. In this way they tend to be more
deeply embedded in the subconscious mind.
Any time you are having an argument or disagreement, it can be
very healthy and valuable to use the SHK. Just imagine the symbol
being between you and the person you are having the argument with. It
will tend to filter the energy that passes between you, thereby assisting
you in creating harmony and peace and understanding.

Emotional healing symbol self treatment

Place non dominant hand at the base of the skull and with the
dominant hand over the top of your head (palm facing head), sign the
power symbol once saying its name three times, then sign the emotional
symbol once saying its name three times, then again sign the power
symbol once saying its name three times. Then place the signing hand
on the top of the head. Now, with both hands remaining on the head,
repeat the affirmation for 3-5 minutes, or for a rise and fall of the
energy, or as many times as felt necessary. Sample affirmation - "I now
have what I need to see the issues in my life in a new way and the
wisdom, strength, courage and love to follow through with what is
given." You can use whatever affirmation desired so long as it is in the
positive (absolutely no negative words as no, not, don't, etc.) and in the
present tense.
The Emotional Healing Program
This works on long held emotional constrictions which may or may not
manifest as physical abnormalities, bringing them to the surface and
releasing them. Where there's a chronic physical condition it's always
worth doing this emotional program at the beginning of a treatment.
The symbols used are the Third Symbol, The First Symbol, and the
Second Symbol. Included and absolutely necessary to this program are
also a visualization and an affirmation.

Self Healing
Sit down, calm yourself and begin. Connect to the issue as in distance
healing. Draw the Third Symbol and see it going into your crown; then
draw the First Symbol, again seeing them going into your crown; then
draw the Second Symbol, see it going into your crown; then draw the
First Symbol again. Visualization Put your hands either on your face or

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (12 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

head, whichever is the most comfortable. See your head filling with
gold from the symbols and from your hands. When the head has filled
the gold spreads to fill the whole body. When the body is completely
full the gold then overflow out of the feet. The energy then turns, comes
out and up the outside of the body on all sides and into the body again
through the Crown Chakra. Continue this visualization - it should look
like a sort of elongated torus shape, constantly on the move both inside
and outside the body.
Affirmation When the visualization has reached this point add the
affirmation: "I send the light, [name], deep into the inner recesses of
your mind, bringing light to the darkness, that shadows disappear."
Keep this up for around half an hour or so and then stop. This is a very
powerful program. I suggest that you do it for an issue no more than 4
days in a row, then leave it for a month or so and watch for
developments before doing it again.
Healing Clients
Have your client lie down and follow the above routine. Your hands
should be either under their head or curled onto the forehead. You or
they may prefer to sit up, in which case your hands should be on the
top of their head.

Healing Situations Connect to the situation in the usual way and

follow the above routine. Visualize a ball of light as the situation and
then use the affirmation. This program is amazingly effective at
bringing to the surface and releasing hidden emotional issues - so for
example, if you (or a client) have been having a lot of accidents you
might then send healing to this situation using this program, but would
connect to it along the lines of "the issue behind my recent accidents".
Watch what happens around you - it may be that the issue is one that
you are amazed has any connection.
Releasing emotional and mental blockages anger etc.
hold your hand palms outward above your throat and heart and
visualize or mentally draw the Sei He Ki state your intention to release
and remove the blocked energy or negative feeling and then just allow
Reiki to run as usual can be used for others as well as self.

Weight loss

I have had Reiki teachers who say that the SHK symbol could be
used to lose weight. Draw it on the palms of your hands, point your
palms toward yourself, repeat the name three times, and let the Reiki
flow. Do that as often as you needed to lose the weight. An affirmation
is "I transform (fat) matter into light (energy). I don't really know if

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (13 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

this works or not but I have lost about 30 pounds during a time of
testing this. I did cut down on fat and sweets and increase exercise too
which seems easier to do than it had been previously.

Mental and behavioral healing

Reiki is not a substitute for therapy, medical treatment or counseling.
Reiki is complimentary and enhances most forms of treatment. On a
spiritual level can be quite valuable and protective but people with
serious Psychological conditions should probably seek Reiki treatment
from practitioners that have credentials in appropriate fields as well as
in Reiki if possible . I do not have experience treating people with
serious mental conditions like Paranoia or schizophrenia in person with
Reiki but have had enough experiences as a Buddhist Lay leader and in
some other areas to have decided that I do not have the specialized
knowledge that is often required. I have done quite a bit of remote
work for people who request it. And have been told Reiki has been
helping them. I Definitely advise you to use a degree of caution here as
unknown challenges may arise. Use Reiki as a healing for these types of
conditions but do not analyze unless you are qualified.
In mental healing Reiki works with the consciousness by
transforming negative influence into positive and removing energy
blocks . Reiki works on the areas of the mind where we hold our
programming, conditioning and the causes of problems and illnesses. I
personally think self treatment is often easier for mental healing then
treatment from a practitioner . A stumbling block in mental healing is
the client's belief system itself. If the patient does not want a cure then
they will mentally resist healing . This is common in the case of
addictions, parental and societal programming where many sessions
may be required during which you may get fed up with “failure” or the
patient sees little benefit in your healing. All sessions work to some
degree but YOU CAN NOT FORCE HEALING. You can not force
your will on others. Just allow Reiki to flow do not try to direct it to a
specific outcome. Your responsibility is not to do anything that would
be dabbling with someone else's mind. People are often very susceptible
to suggestion during treatment you might repeat an affirmation that
you and the client have chosen before hand but should be very careful
about what you say .

A PROCESS
Have the client sit on a comfortable , upright chair.
1. Decide with client on affirmations and positive results required.
2. Place your hands on the shoulders and relax the patient for 1 to 2
minutes Or until Reiki tapers off

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (14 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

3. Remove one hand, keeping the other in place, and slowly trace Reiki
Symbol CHO-KU-REI above but not on cranium while focussing on the
mantra (name) of the symbol. Repeat as many times as you feel is
needed, although once is generally enough.
4. Replace hand on shoulders for up to 5 more minutes or until Reiki
tapers off be aware of any images or information you receive
5. Place your hands on Reiki Head Position (top of head) and relax the
client for 1 to 2 minutes.
6. Remove one hand and trace the Reiki Symbol SEI-HI-KI above but
not on the cranium while focussing your mind on the mantra (name) of
the symbol on any affirmations you have agreed on with the client.
repeat as often as you feel is necessary.
7. Replace hands on head and repeat sequence from [1] but
substitute SEI-HI-KI for CHO-KU-REI.
8. Finish after 15 to 20 minute session using CHO-KU-REI to end
session .

Death and bereavement

If Reiki works why does it not stop people from dying?
Some times people do receive healing and live beyond expectations.
Most times it helps the person die with less pain and emotional turmoil.
Reiki can help people become aware of the reality of continuing
existence after death. It will also help comfort those who are left
behind. It is always best to explain this to a client and family as their
expectations may be unrealistic. We do not perform miracles and we
never promise cures healing comes from a root word meaning whole.
Many people have found that Reiki helps them to continue to make the
effort to find healing and have hope . Many people find that Reiki helps
them move on to death in more comfort . Reiki can be used with the
intention that it ease transition and that it bring solace to the bereaved .
I have had terminally clients say that it helped them recognize issues
they wanted to deal with prior to passing over and that it helped
eliminate fear and anger . They also have said that it helped them
connect with divine energy and an awareness that death is a transition
and not an end .

HON SHA ZE SHO NEN Connection, Distance Healing

(hawn shaw zay show nen).

It is used for sending Reiki hands off, for absentee healing and
treating issues from the past including past life issues.

This function also gives you the ability to use all the Reiki functions
for hands off treatments at any distance at all . you can use this symbol
function long distance and to beam the energies to someone in the
room with you. This is especially useful in treating children and
animals in treating yourself on areas you can not reach and when in
public or anyplace where a hands on treatment might be impractical.

This symbol is the most complicated of the Reiki symbols but can be
easy to learn by practicing writing it. start with one stroke, repeat that
stroke and add one more repeat these and add the next one and
continue this way until you are able to write the entire symbol . Or you
may prefer to break it up into several sections and learn one at a time.
Many people do find that they can activate the Reiki function by direct
intention without drawing or visualizing the symbol at all but I feel that
it does have value to memorize it as well as the others. There are some
differences in the way different teachers write this symbol usually one
writes it as your teacher did unless you have an intense intuitive call to
another style.

together with other symbols. Distant healing can bridge time and space,
allowing you to send healing energy across a room, or around the world
to heal past wounds and to contribute healing energies for others and in
situations such as natural disasters and political crises . You can use
HSZSN to treat anxieties you have about events in the future. Some
people use it to create healing packages to be tapped into later or sent
ahead for a known future need.

Remote Or Distance healing

There are many ways to do distance healing. The Hon Sha Ze Sho
Nen is drawn or visualized at the beginning of treatment just before
designating your intended recipient . This function enables us to
send healing energies to others at a distance. This can be used to send
Reiki across the street or to other parts of the world. It can be used
when doing hands on Reiki healing would be inappropriate (with a
burn patient or someone with sexual abuse issues). In these cases Reiki
can be sent distantly from across the room or from a few inches or feet
away. Such line of sight use of the distance healing symbol is often
called "Beaming". Some people help focus their intent when beaming
by imagining the Reiki energy radiating out from their eyes or heart or
hands. Some people like to hold their hands up toward the person or
people they are doing the treatment with . Most people find that they
can beam or send the remote treatment without raising their hands .

The HSZSN function is also a symbol of karmic release. The Hon

Sha Ze Sho Nen is made up of five distinct elements. One possible
meaning can be "no past, no present, no future". I do not teach or
believe that you can use this energy function to actually change/ effect
the past or the future as some people believe. I am not saying that you
absolutely cannot either. I have a sense that some of the Reiki I do now
to release traumas from my childhood did in fact effect me at that
time as a child by giving a sense of being watched over and a promise
that in future life I would be happy. This is not provable though. I do
use HSZSN to treat and heal the effects of traumas from the past and
from past lives. It can be very effective to Focus or intend that Reiki be
sent to the very first occasion the a specific problem occurred in your
life .
When you heal a problem at its origination point quite often many
subsequent problems that are based from that initial event will resolve
themselves and heal almost instantly. Used with the emotional
healing function you can obtain results that are similar to those
obtained in "soul retrieval". or "etheric recovery" Sometimes using the
distance function can assist with past life recall.

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (18 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

Some have used this function to send the treatment ahead to a

specific point in the future. I have had mixed results with this . Time is
an illusion but a very useful one and the HSZSN is more than just a
remote button It seems a lot like the Huna Ho-o-pono pono to me in
that it's deeper function is to bring ones whole being into justice and
harmony that is to Make things right
The full meaning is not "no past, no present, no future", but more
like "Right consciousness is the root of everything", or "integrity can
correct all ". Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is made up out of five separate kanji
The way we write this symbol these five characters are compressed
into each other. The superficial translation would be something like 1·
Originally (in essence, by nature) 2 · person (being. entity) 3· exactly
(right, just) 4· righteous (certainly, straight path. )5· mind (presence of
the heart, character). The long term effect is to help us live in the
present free of blocks and worries about the past and future.

Distance treatments
There is a common tendency to think of distance work as requiring
effort as though you have to personally throw the energy across the
distance In fact it requires no more effort to send Reiki across the
ocean than it requires to send it through your hands as you touch
someone. Just as in direct treatment you activate Reiki and allow it to
flow to where it is needed . Distance does not interfere with reception.
Some ways of doing distance energy treatments with Reiki Using the
symbols: one would draw them with your hand or third eye and
mentally say the power and connection symbol name/mantra and use
the other symbol or symbols as needed or desired. You might visualize
them over your head or in front of you. I was taught to use all of them
all the time but many people do it differently.
There is no order of preference for any of these methods for sending
Reiki to people at a distance and these are only a few of the possible
ways to do it. These methods are useful for sending distant Reiki
treatments. Over time, you may develop less need to use the distant
symbol and very structured methods for remote sending. This is as it
should be. As you develop increasing familiarity with the energy you
may find that the symbols, like all tools, can be put aside when no
longer needed. There is however no hurry to learn to work without
symbols . Take your time and let the connection to the energy
strengthen and grow. Most people continue to use the symbols even if
they do not "have" to do so.

1. You can use a photo or drawing as a focus. for the session drawing
the symbols over a photo with the intention of sending Reiki to the

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (19 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

person represented or sting the name of the person while placing your
hands on a drawing either doing the hand placements or just holding
the photo or drawing.
2. direct the energies by imagining the person as laying on your thigh.
3. Use a teddy bear or doll as a proxy or put a pillow on your lap to
represent the recipient.
4. You can imagine the person as being between your hands. Then
either mentally go through the hand positions or just send the Reiki to
the subjects entire being with the intention that it go where needed.
5. Intend it. know that the Reiki will reach your intended recipient
automatically
6. Write the person's name on a piece of paper and hold that piece of
paper with the name on it between your hands and send Reiki that way.
7. Use your thumb as a proxy, pretend it is the person, and wrap your
other fingers around it and send it Reiki.

Visualize the person there in the air before you and you just do a
treatment. or imagine that you are in the same place together. Another
technique is to substitute your body for theirs putting your hands and
or intention on your body and intending that the energies run to them
in those places. You can also do a "spot" treatment on an organ or
other body part - just visualize the part and go for it. When I am doing
distant healing, I mostly do it by intention. Sometimes I feel a "Reiki
beam" go from my hands and / or heart, etheric heart, crown and third
eye, to the person. I usually just say the persons name and if I know it
location and intend that the energies go to them for their highest good
beaming the Reiki to them.
Some people find it easy to imagine that the client is in the same
room with them and others will ask Guides or helping Deva to do the
treatment as the practitioner holds the connection. Others feel that
Reiki is kind of like email when the system is working really well you
just have to address it and send it and it will arrive where it is supposed
to go instantly. Even though you have no idea how the mechanics of it
actually work.

State what if any condition the treatment is for if you know. Ask for
pain relief if it is wanted in addition to healing. Pain relief and healing
are not the same thing. Reiki seems to reduce pain more when it is
specifically requested. Reiki will not eliminate necessary pain if the
recipient needs it to force them to go to a doctor or would re injure
themselves for example.
You can do an entire treatment going through the hand placements
but can also just allow the Reiki to flow. It is good to mentally state any

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (20 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

areas of particular concern that you are aware of. As long as you
maintain a clear channel the treatment will go where needed most.
When you activate the energies by intention without drawing the
symbols intend Reiki all or any words that work for you. You can also
activate each function separately actually I most often intend that any
and all energies run in the best portions. Then I follow intuition to
activate any specific procedures.
Always intend that the person has the right to accept, refuse or
observe the energies.

In distance treatments the energy often just runs until it's done.
Some Teachers suggest a 15 minute session for distance work. Some
recommend 15 minute sessions three days in a row. I have had the
energy run as long as three hours. But that is unusually long and 15 or
20 minutes is more common . Some people have found great results
from only a five or ten minute session. Even one or two minutes can
have a great effect. Reactivate the energies if your attention and
intention wanders so far off that the energies shut down and whenever
you feel that you should.
When the energies stop running. End the treatment by honoring
what we have intended gently releasing the connection and thanking
your Spiritual Focus. There is not normally any real need to clear and
release any excess or unneeded or stuck energies as this does not often
occur. Reiki is self clearing. You can do clearing and unsticking if you
wish.

Energy blocks and disease

The general understanding is that usually stresses, traumas, and
emotional reactions or repression to events in your personal life and
surroundings can create constrictions and blocks or overloads, tears
and such other conditions in the aura and these blocks, constrictions,
holdings etc. if not healed in time can manifest as disease and emotional
mental disturbance and susceptibility to accident This can also work in
reverse if the aura is damaged as the result of physical injury if the
deformation to the energy structure is not repaired than illness, injury,
or chronic pain may occur in the physical area or in an energetically
related one. These traumas can include your energy reaction to the
stresses on the environment, Political and social situations and family
matters and many other less obvious influences . You may come into a
life with some blocks already in place from past life issues or from
choice because of your soul mission and lessons or from trauma from
the time of your conception to birth. I have found it particularly helpful
to use the emotional and distance healing functions on the period of

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (21 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

time between conception and birth . Should you want to study energy
blocks in the aura in depth, the Barbara Brennon Book "Hands of
Light" probably has more than you will ever need to know about
energy blocks and other afflictions to the energy body though your
personal interpretive metaphors and perceptions may be different than
hers.

There are a number of books and lists available that purport to show
a list of the specific
blocks and traumas that can cause the manifestation of specific illnesses
and injuries
There can be some valid help in these books but most of them are
oversimplified and sometimes people use them in a cruel way .The
human body ,energy field and karma is too complex to be reduced to a
checklist .Reiki practitioners might consult these texts to see if their
own intuition is supported but they should never use these references to
tell another person what is "wrong" with them. and even when the
information in the book is correct for one or many people it may not be
correct for your client.
remote group treatments
There are a number of ways to send Reiki to more than one person at
a time either in a room or at a distance. You are acting as a ground and
conduit for Universal healing energy rather than using your own
energy. You can treat a large area or group at one time .
Expand or Blanket method
Visualize the symbols horizontally expanded over the people or area
you wish to cover or fill with Reiki then continue your treatment in
the usual way for people at a distance you first expand or blanket the
area then intend to focus on the specific people who seek treatment
from you.
You can beam the Reiki into a Room with the intention that everyone
in the room receive the treatment best for them. A mental image of
fanning the energy out or mental image of creating a cone of energy
over the area and people can help you with your focus .

The Reiki Stack Method.

When you are have a lot of healing requests you can try this
technique for distance healing in groups there are several different
versions of this. Write down all the names, location and reason for the
request in a book or on a piece of paper. Say each name and condition
out loud and draw the power symbol (CKR) between each person's
name on the lists. Call this Reiki Stack 1. Each day as other requests
come in, write their names etc. in your book and call it Stack 2 etc.

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (22 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

Draw the power symbol to connect each stack. At the start of the
treatment (preferably At least once a day) name the Reiki stack/s that
the treatment is to go to and draw the three symbols on the stack while
saying the mantra three times. Then affirm your Intent that this /these
stacks are filled with unlimited Reiki treatments.'' place your hands
over the stack list or hold the stacks between both hands and visualize
energy going to each person on the list just as they need it for their best
and highest good. If you have a healing crystal you can empower it with
Reiki and place it on top of the stack/s to continue sending energy.
Any time you pass your stacks send the power symbol to add energy.
The people and pets or situations stay on your list for at least a week
and sometimes longer.

Reiki circles and shares

It is fairly common for Reiki teachers to offer Reiki circles for other
practitioners to gather and treat each other and share experiences .
They also may have healing circles to share Reiki with other people
who want treatments . When several Reiki practitioners are together
they can stand in a circle and each run Reiki into each others backs or
sit and hold hands and run Reiki around the circle . Several
practitioners can treat the same patient at once each person taking a
different position . A full treatment may take only five or ten minutes .
The Blanket expand and fan functions that I mentioned in the remote
group healing section are useful for group work of all kinds. These
were adapted from a Kahuna energy system I use.

All kinds of stuff people have added to Reiki classes and have
called advanced techniques
None of these techniques are necessary to practice Reiki effectively,
and probably none of them were used by Usui Sensei. Many Reiki
Masters question the validity of including of them under the descriptor
"Reiki". I list some of the more common modifications here. If you find
them useful, add them to your practices. If you don't then just ignore
them . Here are some of what are commonly referred to as "advanced"
techniques. Any technique that is not part of traditional Usui Reiki
should be identified as such during class and treatment.

Reiki guides, angels, the High self

Many of todays Reiki Teachers include a meditation to meet your "
Reiki Guide" or guides . This was not a Practice or teaching of Mikao
Usui Sensei , nor did Mrs. Takata call on anything other than Divine
energy . In most spiritual practices the development of your own
intuitive connection to spiritual source is considered to be superior to

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (23 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

contact with guides . Guides may be a symbolic representation to assist

you in translating the information coming to you directly from spirit
but they are not essential, they are not a pert of Traditional Reiki and
may in some cases be an impediment to your own spiritual evolution
should you become too devoted and fixated on them.
We all do have a connection to the divine that manifests as what is
called a companion or Guardian Angel which is a being or energy form
who will assist you in you own personal spiritual evolution there are
many meditations and books and web sites and attunement systems
with information to assist you in meeting your own Companion Angel .
Your companion Angel and your High self that most spiritually
evolved part of your whole self can help you connect with any guides
you might actually need to work with.
Some of the energy systems I work with and teach do focus on
working with Your high self and companion Angel but your Angel is
with you anyway and you may not need specific training for you angel
to work with you .

Reiki Symbol Meditation

Meditation using the Reiki Symbols is a hybrid of meditation and
visualization It is designed to increase the connection to the Reiki
source by meditating on the symbols. you can easily fashion your own
meditation on the symbols, visualizing the symbols or even gazing on a
physical drawing of one of the symbols . Experiment and explore.
To do this meditation, use guidelines that anyone doing meditation of
any sort might follow. Get into a comfortable position. Sit with your
spine erect .Put your hands on your lap and have your feet on the
floor . Relax the body doing some deep breathing, or muscular
relaxation can sometimes help.
As with all meditation, if your mind wanders while meditating, allow
the thoughts to slip away, paying them no mind, and gently bring your
attention back to your focus. breathe deeply shut your eyes or keep
them half open focus on the feeling of Reiki. when you are ready, you
can begin to meditate on the symbols. (or any other focus) to this point
its a standard meditation. The first symbol we will use is the power
symbol. Either draw it in front of you or visualize it in your mind. Say
the name of the symbol (either out loud or in your head). You could
visualize the symbol as golden, or violet, or allow it to take on the color
it chooses, intensely bright and empowered with the loving energy of
the Reiki source. Allow it to flow into you, and for any message it might
have for you to manifest. Stay focused on the symbol and the Reiki flow
and the source. Stay with this as long as you feel comfortable. When
you are ready, you can do the same with the other symbols. You can so

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (24 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

the meditation with all symbols in one setting, or only work with one
symbol per session.
When you are finished you are likely to be filled with energy and this
would be a good time to work on doing self treatments, treating others,
doing distant healing, manifesting goals, charging crystals.

Grounding with Reiki

If you are not grounded, you might find yourself light headed and
dizzy after meditation. I just run Reiki with the intention that I be
grounded. You can find something that is grounding and do it. Things
like gardening or walking you can visualize roots or a cord running to
the center of the earth or a lava floe coming connecting you to the
Earth. Whatever works for you. You could also put your tongue on
the soft palate (just behind the teeth), draw the power symbol on the
feet, the hara (just below the naval) and the palms. Place your palms on
the hara and concentrate on that area for a few minutes. This tends to
bring the excess energy from the upper chakras and into the hara.
Many people like to eat something as a way of grounding
Manifesting Goals
There are several methods available to help use Reiki and the Reiki
symbols to manifest goals. Advocates of these techniques feel that they
can help manifest changes in your life. Always be ethical and intend
the highest good in what you ask for. Sit and relax, breathing gently
and deeply. Either out loud or to yourself, say your goal. State it in such
a way that their can only be one interpretation and cannot be
misinterpreted. Connect to the Reiki energy. Draw the symbols on your
palms. In your mind, create a mental movie, or mental image of this
goal being accomplished. Draw the Reiki symbols on the mental picture
starting with the power symbol and ending with the power symbol.
Hold the image of your goal in your mind awhile end by drawing Reiki
symbols again Believe totally that this process is done and that this goal
is already being manifested. Another Manifestation technique is a
Manifestation Triangle. This technique is a better choice for those who
are not as good with visualization techniques. Also, because it involves
writing, it is more concrete and can help focus you on what you truly
want. The first step is to draw a triangle. At the bottom left hand
corner write the person's name that this manifestation is to be for
(yourself or someone else). Next, at the top of the triangle, write what
you want to happen.
This should be the best possible solution to the situation. The
situation and person's name should be specific. You can say "This will
manifest for the highest good of (person's name)". Next, at the bottom
right hand corner, write the situation. After setting up your triangle,

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (25 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

and writing out the name, solution and situation, draw a power symbol
over each corner. Draw a power symbol over the whole triangle. Place
your hands on the triangle picture and do Reiki on it, intending it to
manifest.
Reiki Crystal Grid
The standard crystal grid layout that you will find in most manuals is
rather more complicated than the one I actually use. I have studied
crystal work separately from Reiki and recommend that if you are
interested in working with crystals you study that separately . The
subject is far too complex to be done justice to as a tiny Reiki add-on.
There are entire systems of Crystal healing work some of which are like
Reiki and have Attunements for energy work with crystals. Many
people do just have some quartz or amethyst or other crystal in the
room or under the Reiki table Some people have clients hold crystal
during treatment. I prefer to keep the modalities separate most of the
time You can just Hold a crystal and run Reiki into it while intending
that it be programmed to send healing energy to a person or situation
continuously and place it it a place where it will not be disturbed .
Reiki will not do harm or overload a person but I have seen many cases
where people did become distressed from overzealous crystal
treatment. I strongly recommend caution when mixing crystal healing
with Reiki If you have a clear intuition go ahead but do not just throw
on crystals experimentally. Rose Quartz is always safe and can be used
freely it increases the ability to give and receive love and is relaxing .

This next technique is in many Reiki texts, was developed to set up

a continuous flow of Reiki energy for healing or protection by using
crystals to broadcast a Reiki program. This technique is not used in
Japan so far as I know, and is not part of Usui Shiki Ryoho. I use other
crystal programming work myself which is a lot simpler and just
include this for your reference because it is in many Reiki manuals .
A crystal grid can be created and charged with Reiki energy. It is it
will continue to send Reiki energy for healing, protection, or to assist
with goal manifestation for several days or longer. To make the
(official) Reiki Grid you need eight crystals. The easiest method of
crystal selection is to pick the crystals up and just see how they feel to
you. Try not to so much "think" about this as "feel" it. Send some
Reiki into the crystal and see how that feels as well, allowing your
intuition to guide you. Most new age shops and many science or hobby
shops sell crystals. Regular Rose Quartz, or White Quartz single points
or tumbled smooth stones are sufficient for the purpose of making this
grid and are inexpensive. You can use a picture of the person that the
grid will send to or protect. Or the name you can use grids for

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (26 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

manifesting and affirmations too. Clear the crystals by holding them in

your hands and running Reiki Choose a place for the Reiki Grid where
the grid will not be disturbed. Take the eight crystals that you have
cleansed, and choose the one that seems the strongest. This will be the
Master Charging Crystal. For your central (Master) crystal, you may
want to choose a double terminated crystal, a cluster, a pyramid or a
crystal ball. (Some practitioners conceptualize this in terms of yin and
yang. You are looking for the crystal that is the most yang or having
the strongest male energy.) Next, place six of the crystals at equal points
around a circle about 10 to 12 inches in diameter. This creates a
hexagon or six sided figure. Place the last crystal in the center. This
makes seven stones in the design in total. The eighth will be used as the
Master crystal. Play with the arrangement until it feels right. This
arrangement uses a six sided figure. It is possible to construct them in
any geometric shape. Take a picture of yourself or the person or issue
that you want to send Reiki to. Draw the Reiki Symbols on the back,
the person's name, and an affirmation to help empower and set the
intent of the process. Be creative. You can use a piece of paper with a
goal, intent or need on it instead of a picture. Draw Reiki Symbols on
the paper and then Reiki it between your hands and place it within the
crystal Grid. The Grid will continuously send Reiki to heal the person
or bring about the goal. At this point you have the purified crystals and
your prepared picture. The next step is to charge the crystals with the
Reiki energy. This is very simple to do. Take each crystal into your
hands and send Reiki into it for about 10 minutes or so. Do this with
each crystal, one at a time until all of them are done. You can also say
prayers, or ask spiritual guides to assist you while you are charging
them. Once the crystals are charged put each back in its place on the
grid. Put the Master Crystal in last. It is suggested that you not move
the crystals after they are in place as it will weaken the energy
connections.
The Master Crystal is used to keep your Reiki Grid charged. This stone
can be recharged when needed by holding it in the hand while running
Reiki or beaming Reiki into it. To finish the grid hold the Master
crystal in your right hand. Starting at the top, begin to connect the dots
that are formed by the crystals on the grid. You will be starting at the
top and making six triangles as you connect the imaginary lines
between the stones on the outside and the center stone. Move around
the Grid in a counterclockwise direction. You can also say an
affirmation or mantra as you do this. Some masters meditate with they
Master Crystal frequently to keep their Reiki Grid charged up.

Psychic Surgery- Etheric recovery

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (27 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

Other common additions include using the so called Psychic surgery

technique with a guided visualization of symbolized traumas and blocks
that I personally think should be left to people with psychological
training as it involves asking people to describe their emotional pain
for example in terms of shape, color and feel etc. before it is
symbolically pulled out with Reiki . I feel that some well meaning
practitioners have done more harm than good with this non Reiki
technique when they have not had the psychological skill to help resolve
issues that have been brought up with this technique. This is not related
to the Philippine psychic surgery form where physical objects may be
or appear to be removed from the body of someone being treated .
The method of scanning for energy bumps, hot and cold spots and
sticky or "sour" energy and extending energy fingers to scoop out
negative energy and to repair breaks in the aura is another technique
that is sometimes called psychic surgery. This method is used by many
forms of subtle touch, spiritual healing and energy work. Some people
do use this in conjunction with Reiki or feel an intuitive urge to do this
while giving a Reiki treatment.

Healing attunement
As used in the Reiki add on classes this is a healing attunement to
give people a temporary boost to their ability to heal themselves and
absorb healing energy . These are essentially Reiki Attunements done
by a Reiki Master with part of the ritual left out supposedly to provide
a temporary boost . This is also either similar or identical to the "Reiki
POP" a partial attunement used by some Reiki teachers as a sales tool
for their Reiki classes . This can give a strong energy buzz to the
recipient and is often more intense than simply demonstrating with a
sample Reiki treatment. I have some ethical concerns about the "Reiki
POP" and do not use it.
I do use a completely different and permanent healing boost
attunement brought in from a different healing system . That
attunement permanently enhances the recipients ability to connect with
and use healing energy for their highest good . I include this
automatically in the treatments and Attunements I do for all who are
willing to accept some energy from systems other than Reiki.

Other Symbols
Some Reiki systems have added other symbols to the Reiki practice I
have yet to find a function that is added with these symbols that cannot
be accessed fully with just regular Reiki . The Symbol might give you a
tool for confidence in your ability to connect with a function such as
karmic healing or improving your love life but I have yet to find a

http://www.solarraven.com/reikievel2.html (28 of 32)6/19/2004 12:58:36 PM

Reiki two manual all on one page

function that cannot be used by simple intention while running basic

Reiki .
Generally Ask, intend, request what you would like to work on and
allow Reiki to flow . This is in addition to allowing the Reiki to go
where it chooses not in place of that.
There are functions like power settings and mode settings, automatic
programs that do work well with Reiki Generally speaking there are
no limits on the ways you can work with healing energy. Some of these
non Reiki functions can be included with my Reiki Attunements for
those who are willing to accept some non Reiki energy functions.
I teach these in my workshops but have not included detailed
information in this manual.

Enlightenment
One of Usui Sensei's hopes for the Reiki was that it would be a tool
for helping people obtain enlightenment or true and total happiness
and wisdom of spirit. This aspect of Reiki is sometimes overlooked in
the West in favor of focus on physical well being . Just being attuned to
Reiki will not guarantee enlightenment but practice and study of the
Reiki principles and maintaining a seeking mind can help you with
your personal path. We usually define the word "Reiki" as Universal
Energy here is another definition taken from a Buddhist lecture on the
Lotus Sutra by T. Makigchi from the 1930's of the Word Reiki in
regard to enlightenment. This source probably had no knowledge of the
term as used by Dr Usui .
" Reiki" (Spiritual power/ability) is divided into 10
1. The ability to tell the reasonable law of cause and effect from an
unreasonable one neglecting the causal law.
