Reiki Symbols

Please ask Hilarion what role do the Reiki symbols play in Reiki? What happens if I do Reiki not using the symbols?

Hilarion: When you have learned Reiki you cannot any longer do it without the symbols. They are there in your consciousness. You have constructed them at multiple layers, and you have drawn them from your past lives. You have re-acknowledged them. You don't have to at that point really even focus on them, they're going to show up. They are powerful energetic movements. They are the turning of the cosmos themselves. With that knowledge you then recognize its true purpose is so that you can let go. As Reiki energy moves through you, as there is a positive healing energy then it is also possible that this will be beneficial, that will be helpful.

Will it be Reiki in its truest form if you haven't learned that? No, of course not by definition you must move down that path and learn it the way it is, to call it that. But, to say it is not healing, not helpful? That would be absurd because you can see of how the love, the opportunity to know that healing exists and to see it move through in any way. This is always going to be helpful.

The true benefit of the symbols occurs in the way in which your own focus, your own concentration, your own awareness, all of this shows up and gives you something to hold onto like a mantra or a yantra or a Qigong movement and that is going to be very helpful.

Now, if we were going to evaluate this, that is the next step, let's make this a little more quantitative. Do those people who are running healing energy on average looking at the thousands of them, do it as well with as much effectiveness as those running the healing energy with symbols? What we notice here is indeed the people who are using symbols and using the training, using one of these techniques, but especially where they tune into something where other people are doing it too, they are more effective. They have more capability, the energies transfer better, on average. This doesn't mean that somebody with no training at all can't be a great healer. Of course they can. But, this means that if you have the time to do it and can learn the symbols and can learn the way to do this in your own fashion well that would probably give you a greater likelihood of success than to simply wing it.
