The first symbol is the power symbol, cho ku rei. It creates the energy “God is Here”. It can be used to empower and bless yourself, other living beings, situations, inanimate objects etc. This symbol can be used anywhere but often visualized on the backs of the hands during the Reiki treatment. It can be drawn anywhere; in the soil of a diseased  plant, and in your plate with spoon. It is effective for clearing a house where trauma has occurred, or to welcome a new home. You can make its paintings to decorate your walls to give a joyful aspect to interior design, or in the classroom for a lively lesson- this symbol brings positive energy and life to every possible situation.

The symbol, sei he (i) ki, helps in mental and emotional healing wherever called upon. As its energy is soothing, it can be drawn anywhere; even in the air near a crying baby. You can draw it anywhere, e.g., under your bed, or on a piece of paper to place under your pillow, and in places where there is conflict of any kind.

This symbol, known as hon sha ze sho nen, can be interpreted as “May the Buddha in me reach out to the Buddha in you to promote harmony and peace”. It is used in sending Reiki healing over distance or time, and it transcends both, acting in the past, future and present simultaneously.

This symbol, known as Kundalini, is the life force symbol from Raku-Tibetan Reiki. It is used to balance chakras from the head downwards to the root or base chakra. It is used by practitioners in healing and prior to attunements.
