This weekend I attended reiki Okuden level. Those who know me are aware that I do pranic healing after having taken successfully the 5 levels of pranic healing courses at the Grand Master Choa Kok Sui centre in Dubai. I have been doing pranic healing since 2017 after having initially started doing energy healing in 2013 and I am now headed towards becoming a Reiki Master which I hope to achieve before the end of the year.
During this level of reiki healing we were introduced to three Reiki symbols that we could use in order to better define the flow of Reiki. The symbols that would be drawn would also be associated to mantras that could be chanted under one’s breath or aloud and Kotodamas (a series of vowels derived from the mantras) to chant. At the Master level we are supposed to be introduced to the fourth and last symbol.
The first symbol we were introduced to was that of power that could be used for grounding, protection, cleansing, to remove physical blockages, for charging or cleansing crystals and for psychological blockages. The mantra associated with it is CHO KU REI (Tcho Koo Ray) and the Kotodama is O U E I (Ow Ooh Ay Eee). At home, I used this symbol to strengthen one of my knees that had been slightly flailing.
The second symbol which I really liked was the symbol of harmony, which could be used to recalibrate communication, to start healing someone with a difficult emotional state, for balancing, to help sleep, etc. The mantra associated with it is SEI HE KI (Say Hay Kee) and the Kotodama is E I E KI (Ay Eee Ay Kee). At home, in the evening, I drew the symbol in the space on all four walls in my living room and immediately felt a sense of harmony fill the space around me.
The third symbol which I also liked a lot was the connection symbol that was one of the most elaborate ones of the three that I have been shown. This symbol could be used to connect to pure consciousness and as denoted by its name, it could be used as a bridge between two things that would otherwise not have a common denominator. Say for example one wanted to make a conflict go away or at least lessen it, one could draw this symbol between both camps to the conflict and flow Reiki within that space. The mantra associated with it is HON SHA ZE SHO NEN (Hon Sha Zay Sho Nen) and the Kotodama is H(O) A ZE H(O) NE (Oh A Tzay Oh Nay)
I have already started doing healing using these three symbols and am very much looking forward to doing my Master course and healing from that premise in the future. I also have my sights set on other modalities of healing such as Jin Shin Jyutsu and healing through the higher self with the college of healing hoping that this would offer the people I heal a really large palette of healing methods and in some instances I could actually combine two or more of these methods.

This weekend I attended my reiki level one course. Those who know me are aware that I do pranic healing after having taken successfully the 5 levels of pranic healing courses at the Grand Master Choa Kok Sui centre in Dubai. I have been doing pranic healing since 2017 after having initially started doing energy healing in 2013. I wasn’t sure what to expect with reiki but had heard a lot of good things about it. The course surpassed anything I could expect and was given by a young enthusiastic and knowledgeable lady, Justine Nolan, who was very communicative and empathetic. She did the first level attunement in four stages and this worked really well rather than having just one attunement for level one. Already after the first attunement, I was able to connect to reiki and feel it flow through my body.
The process with reiki was very different from what I had experienced with pranic healing. In pranic healing for example, every practice starts with prayers to a number of entities that included God, our angelic guides, our Masters, including those ascended, our teachers, etc. With reiki healing, all that was required was to go through a process called dry brush before the gassho meditative pose, enabling us to request reiki to flow through us. One other salient feature that I found interesting is that the practitioner in reiki is a recipient through which reiki flows for the benefit of the patient and does not alter the outcome of where reiki flows and how it does so while in pranic healing the practitioner can flow prana to one region instead of the other. Given this difference in control, the practitioner in reiki healing cannot harm the patient inadvertently while in pranic healing, if the practitioner charges too much a certain chakra or too little, the outcome of the session changes considerably. I also liked the fact that unlike with pranic healing where we use a device to get rid of the diseased energy (bowl of water with salt or burning with thought), reiki does not contain the notion of contamination and therefore there is no “diseased energy” to get rid of. There is only the sharing of reiki and no fear related reactions are attached to this sharing of energy.
There are other differences in dealing with the chakras, but I will keep them for later, after I have attended reiki level 2 in July and finally the master level course some months after that. In the meantime, if any of you want to share reiki, feel free to drop me an email and I will see if it is possible to accommodate your request.
