Okay, maybe this is not a secret… but due the the inefficient way the Reiki symbols have been taught in the past by many teachers, the true nature of these symbols has never been realized, so in essence it does remain secret… so if you’re looking for the answer to some deep dark mystery you’ve come to the wrong place… if, however, you’re looking to the secret of how to unleash the tremendous power of the Reiki symbols… read on…

When a student becomes a Reiki practitioner, they are introduced to the subtle energies inherent in the Reiki system. Some people immediately feel a kinship or familiarity with this energy (Hindus and Buddhists, et. al., might say that this is because of a familiarity with them as a remnant from a past life) but for most students it will be a foreign and virtually imperceptible energy. Only through continued practice can one internalize this energy and actually be able to distinguish it from other energies. Once you are able to do this, that is, identify the Reiki energy as Reiki energy you are ready to move on to the next level. If you cannot do this… you are simply not ready and only through practice will you be able to do so. So in essence, the mastery of Reiki 1 is required before moving on to Reiki 2… in my humble opinion, teachers who are teaching the next level of Reiki to students who are not ready (in one form or another) are doing them a terrible disservice…

Once Reiki 1 is mastered the student is ready to move on to Reiki 2 where three more energies are introduced into the student’s energy system. Some people claim that these are subsets of the original Reiki energy introduced in Reiki 1, while others feel they are completely different… I personally find that one’s intent transforms the original energy into a completely new energy as needed. Either way, these new energies now need to be mastered before the student is ready to move on to Reiki 3 as described above… and again, teachers who are teaching the next level of Reiki to students who are not ready (in one form or another) are doing them a terrible disservice…

So there you have it, in a nutshell, the energies introduced in Reiki are each very powerful and each one needs to be mastered before moving on. This takes time and effort and can vary greatly between Reiki practitioners (for whatever reasons). Merely seeing the Reiki symbols, studying the Reiki symbols, getting attuned to the Reiki symbols or otherwise being exposed to them and failing to put forward the effort necessary to actually internalize them is basically useless and I’ve never seen any evidence to the contrary. The power of these symbols is amazing… don’t pass them by!!!
