I have been reviewing my notes from my Reiki 2 class and have found, that within my own practice, I am not drawing the symbols as much but rather just using the mantras (their names in the Western Tradition), such as CKR, SHK, HSZSN. Does anyone think it matters, cuz I have had no problems with them as of yet.
???Also, as a little side note. I have been debating with this for a while. During my attunement I received the symbols as Mrs. Takata taught them (I didn't know that till I saw them on the ICRT web page), which are different from the ones the Reiki Master taught me. Does it matter? I have been using the ones I saw in my vision, because I connect with them more. But my Master said that I can only use the ones she attuned us with. To me it seems like a form of control. The symbols represent something that we, as humans, cannot explain so we use symbols to represent the power.
Okay, I am going stop now that I have taken up so much time for my first post.

Hi isisreiki, It is not important to draw the symbols using their mantas names is fine so please don't worry you are doing reiki in a way that works for you we all do  i only use symbols for attunements.. Next question which symbols ? again it does not matter use the ones you feel drawn to use, those in your vision will be fine your master ? yes you will have problems with them if you don't do things their way, but my advice is use your intuition and go your own way love, mick |

Hi isisreiki Welcome to the forum ;D It doesn't matter whether you use the symbols or mantras....whichever you feel most comfortable with is the best thing for you. In Reiki 1 there are no symbols or mantras....but Reiki still flows....the reason there are symbols in Reiki 2 is because you learn distance and emotional healing, the symbols and mantras are there to help you to while you learn to use different energies. I believe that you can use any symbols you wish, whatever you are drawn to....I am attuned to Usui Reiki but I often use symbols and mantras from other styles of Reiki if I feel guided to....they are all there for all to use. It is your intent that is important ;D Reiki is Universal Life Energy.....Enjoy it ;D love stef  |

Hi isisreiki, Welcome to the Forum I must agree with everyone as well. You are very fortunate to receive symbols in a vision. You reveived them so it would make sense to me that you would have a stronger connection connection to them. Trust in Reiki and Trust in Yourself. What type of Reiki is your Master teaching? Let Love and Light Guide You Today and Always, voodoodoll |

Hi isisreiki I personally use the mantras, or just state the name of the symbol 3 times, and I have found that it is all I need to gain access to the collective power of the symbol, and then it doesn't really matter how different reiki-schools draw them just go for what feels right for you. no rules - only love love Michael |

I think maybe it is a case of the mantra possibly being the more powerful medium.Focus on the symbol be it looking at it upon paper or on the PC screen is itself a key to linking to that particular energy level.Myself although i am not attuned to reiki of any level i have recently placed my focus and awareness upon the 'cho koo rei' symbol with some very interesting results!.
I feel though that the mantra is a more effective and powerful way of linking with the energy because not only is your focus upon that energy you also are vibrating that energy level(spoken voice), and so too you can focus that vibration within yourself at a chosen chakra for a specific reason.By your spoken voice i feel you bring yourself or take yourself within that energy.
Paul ;D
