In the earlier days of Reiki the students were not taught Reiki Symbols, they were taught to attune to the energy through meditation and chants. Following this Dr Usui found some of his students had difficulty learning this skill so he then developed symbols for them to focus on, to assist these students. This is how Reiki Symbols were born.
I firmly believe that the symbols are just a tool. There are a many different variations for each Reiki Symbol and this has happened due to fact that in the earlier days of studying Reiki a student was not allowed to take any written material home. It was a strong belief during the attunement the Reiki Symbols would be burned permanently into the brain and the student would intuitively remember them.
Reiki
Symbols on their own hold no power or secret energy. When a Reiki
Master uses Reiki Symbols the power the symbol holds is given by the
practitioner who channels the energy. The power comes from the Divine
and each Reiki Symbol is used for a different purpose. It is the belief
and intent the Reiki Master gives to the Reiki Symbols that empowers
the Reiki Symbols.
Once a student learns how to connect to the Reiki energy there is no need to use Reiki Symbols unless you desire to. Many Reiki healers learn Reiki using Reiki Symbols, and once they have mastered the energies stop using the symbols. This is a personal choice.
The
Reiki Master Symbols are used in attunements and for practitioners to
use in treatments to amplify the Reiki energy during a healing. Each
Reiki Symbol is believed to have a different energy and is very
interesting to study, as they allow a practitioner to focus the energy
of Reiki for specific purposes.
