The Sacred Reiki Symbols - Available to all; should they be?
copyright, Neva J Howell

The Sacred and energetically infused symbols given to Usui on the side of that mountain so long ago were once fiercely guarded. Only those who completed the training were allowed to see them or work with them. Reiki training did not come cheap, either. It could cost as much as $25,000 to be attuned by one of the few Reiki Masters authorized to do such attunements.

That fiercely protected shroud around the Sacred Reiki Symbols was shattered when a woman named Diane Stein published a book about Reiki and openly shared the Reiki Symbols which are used by a Reiki Master during the attunement process.

The controversy over this sharing of secret symbols is still a live one. While many Reiki Masters do share the symbols in a beginning, or Level One Reiki Class, others do not because they believe it is too soon.

Symbols are called Sacred for a reason. The Reiki symbols have an energy gridline that is powerful and connects someone instantly on drawing them.

Sometimes, this may not allow for ease and facilitation of the gifts. Each person must decide if it feels right for them to work with the Reiki Symbols before being attuned or attending a Reiki Workshop.

Diane Stein has a new dvd series that is actually condensed from her 3-day Essential Reiki workshops. It's a very good introduction to Reiki as Diane teaches it and might be valuable if you are considering a workshop with Diane Stein in the future.
