Reiki Symbols

While practicing Reiki, there are many esoteric symbols which can be used. Each symbol is believed to have power that actually enhances the flow of energy. Every Reiki practitioner doesn't follow all these practices and majority of practitioners don't even invoke symbols. Whatever be the rationale, Reiki symbols take one to the higher levels of consciousness and manifestation. These symbols are shown to the student before being attuned. During the attunement, an imprint of the symbol is given to him by the master.

These symbols are empowered in order that they can fulfill their anticipated purpose. This process of empowerment has been made by a sacred agreement between the creator and people, who have been attuned. Having their own consciousness, Reiki symbols can be meditated upon and one can obtain direction about how to use them. These symbols don't work for the people, except for the ones who are attuned.
