I am often asked this question. Drumroll please... Yes! Reiki symbols do work. Here is how symbols work.
A symbol is a tool to help you get in the mood. A symbol has no power on its own. The meaning of a symbol is what you give it.
Symbols help you focus on the meaning.
Symbols help us get in the mood. It is that mood that carries a powerful high vibration. It is a vibration that is practiced by the sages and shaman and kahuna over the ages. Alignment with this higher vibration is what Reiki practitioners aspire towards. It takes practice to develop this discipline and awareness. There is a secret message within the meanings of the Reiki symbols. More will be revealed as you practice.
All the principles of the universe apply everywhere even in Reiki. You may read that Reiki symbols have power and this is changing because we know different now. A symbol and a human mind is powerful.
A stop sign is a symbol and when we see it we get ready to stop. A dollar sign $$$ is a symbol and when we see it we attach a meaning and a feeling to it. Same with all your symbols in Reiki. Reiki symbols are a reminder and a focus tool.
The vibration of the asking or intention of the symbol is the power. When you use a symbol in Reiki you are asking the universe to assist you. We are learning that this asking is always heard. No one need try too hard to summons help from the universe. All you got to do is get out of the way. Let go of doubt and relax.
Symbols are a discipline in the practice and art of Reiki no more strange than our wedding rings or signs on the road or trademarks on products. Learn to draw them, learn their alias, and this discipline will engrain the meanings into you. Use them in your daily Reiki self treatments and in treating others.
