It’s certainly an adventure to try and learn all the frases de reiki when you are just starting out. The terms at first mean nothing but a jumble of words. However there are many places on the Internet you can find frases de reiki to help you understand what they mean.

The first frases de reiki you will likely run across is the term attunement. This simply put are the adjustments made by the reiki master to the students energy body to allow reiki energy to flow through them. The energy of course is coming from a higher power and will assist them in healing themselves and others using reiki energy. Attunements provide an instant and direct connection to the Universe.

You might also hear the frases de reiki that involves mention of the word aura. This refers to the bio-magnetic energy field around your body and the bodies of every living thing on this earth. During the course of your studies you will also come across the frases de reiki beaming. This is used when you heal someone that you can see, but are unable to do hands on reiki for. It is also used to clear a room of any negative energy prior to a treatment.

Since reiki is about healing, you will run across the frases de reiki that mentions byosen and byosen reikan ho scanning. Byosen is the energy or feeling from the source of an illness or injury. Call it a hotspot or a dip in the energy field of the client if you will. Byosen reikan ho scanning is using your hands to scan a person’s physical body and aura. This will tell you where you need to work, where healing is needed.

At the master practitioner level you will hear the frases de reiki that makes mention of a crystal grid. This basically is a method of creating a sacred space or healing using a specific formation of charged quartz crystals.

Most definitely when you get further along in your studies, the frases de reiki dealing with distant attunements will pop up. This is when a Reiki Master carries out the attunement process on a Reiki student across space and time. This is different than a distance healing which is used to give Reiki healing across time and space, and this can be used in the past, present or future.

If you run across the term empowerment, this is what it means. Empowerments are different from attunements because they raise the frequency of the student a little at a time, where as attunements offer a direct connection to the energy source. For example, Usui-Sensai used empowerments for those students he saw frequently. For those he didn’t see very often, he would use attunements.
 

There are two schools of thought about Reiki symbols. The first says that Reiki symbols are sacred and not to be shared with those who are not initiated into Reiki.

It is thought the Reiki symbols will not work, and will be diluted if they are shared with someone who has no knowledge of how to use them. The second school of thought is sharing the Reiki symbols with everyone is really what the energy of Reiki is all about – UNIVERSAL life force. And thus, it should be available to all to share.

Seems there is no right or wrong here, just which school of thought you subscribe to, or what your Reiki training has been.

There are still some old Reiki masters who will tell you right off the bat that the Reiki symbols are not to be shared with just anyone, as it takes away from the power of them. There may be sense in this argument if you stop to think about the Reiki symbols themselves.

They don’t mean anything to someone who has no idea what they are or what they can achieve with them. On the other hand, there are so many self-help books on the subject of Reiki and using the Reiki symbols that you might think you can learn how to do Reiki through using a book and teaching yourself.

If the books dealing with Reiki symbols are to be believed, you should not only be able to learn the symbols, but attune yourself and become whatever level of practitioner you wish. While this sounds simple, there really is a whole lot more to it than just reading a book.

Particularly when you get more advanced in levels.

Without getting into too much about the symbols, as in drawing them, we can certainly tell you the names of the symbols used for the lower levels of Reiki energy channeling. If you are just starting, the first level of Reiki requires no symbols to work. It does however need an attunement from the Reiki master who is training you.

Level 2 symbols need to be given to you by the Reiki master along with an attunement to the second level. Self-help books indicate you can do attunements yourself. That is still a highly controversial level and a word of caution here.

Do energy work with respect and caution.

But, back to the Level 2 symbols. There are three of them – the Power symbol, the Mental/Emotional Symbol and the Distance Symbol.

The Power symbol means “by Imperial decree, put all the power of the universe here”. The Mental/Emotional Symbol means “God and humanity become one, to create a new habit”. The Distance Symbol means “May the Buddha (enlightened one) in me connect with the Buddha in you to promote peace and dignity.”
