For your Reference: A Quick Reference Reiki Glossary is available which explains Reiki Terms, Practices an !oncepts" Welcome to the third degree! The Reiki Third Degree completes the training in Reiki. It is not an end but a new beginning. The symbol of third degree Reiki is the Dai Ko Mio which means the great shining light. The goal of le!el three Reiki is to learn to li!e always in the light. In Traditional "sui #hiki Ryoho$ Reiki %e!el III is the teaching degree where you learn the fourth "sui #ymbol and where all the information is gi!en on how to pass Reiki on to others. Teacher curriculum for this manual includes the traditional "sui symbols$ attunements and the knowledge to pass them. &or those wishing to study the "sui'Tibetan #ymbols and system !isit the "sui'Tibetan (age. The "sui'Tibetan Reiki)s di!ide the third degree into two sections* Reiki IIIa$ and Reiki IIIb. Reiki IIIa$ from what I ha!e been taught and obser!ed are !arious non+traditional add+on and new age techni,ues. #ome of these you will find in the %e!el IIIa Reiki #ection included with this manual. -enerally at the %e!el IIIa$ you would be taught these add+on techni,ues which include meditation techni,ues$ a .ealing /ttunement$ the "sui Master #ymbol$ the .ui 0in$ the 1iolet 2reath$ (sychic #urgery$ Reiki 3rystal -rids a Meet your Reiki -uide Meditation$ and then gi!en the Master /ttunement. 0ou are not taught the attunement process or how to do it. /t this point you are told you ha!e a (ersonal Mastery le!el$ or a Master (ractitioner le!el. The Master /ttunement is done but the attunement process is not taught and'or is withheld. The reality is that these Master (ractitioners are Reiki Masters who ha!e not been taught the /ttunement (rocess. /t le!el IIIb they are taught two or three Tibetan symbols$ and then recei!e the same attunement again and then are taught how to do the attunements. It is my personal belief that Master training in the West is for e!eryone. 4ot for the select few who ,ualify$ or can afford a 56 thousand dollar fee$ but for e!eryone. The world needs a great deal of healing and the spread of Reiki will help that. I ha!e found that some masters are !ery selecti!e in whom they train as masters. &or some$ the Master Degree is gi!en only to those people who are willing and able to completely dedicate their li!es to Reiki. While that is wonderful for those who are able to do that$ it can also bring out the competiti!e nature in people who make their li!ing from Reiki and ha!e to compete with other masters for students. My belief is that all are eligible for this wondrous gift. Many people take the Master le!el to complete their Reiki training. There is in reality nothing to complete and nothing to attain. It is a new beginning aand in many ways a return to simplicity that we had when we learned Reiki I and had no symbols and 7ust the energy. It is the greatest gift to be able to share Reiki with others and it is a 7oyful thing to do and share in attunements. PART I - Learning and Using The Reiki III Symbols The Reiki Master'Teacher 8%e!el III9 consists of learning the master symbol$ recei!ing the attunement$ and learning the attunement process. &or those wishing to learn the Tibetan symbols &ire #erpent$ Dumo$ and Raku$ !isit the "sui'Tibetan %e!el IIIb #ection of this manual. / brief statement regarding symbols needs to be addressed. #ymbols are e:actly that$ a symbol. They are not the thing they represent. These symbols$ like the le!el II symbols are representations of a specific manifestation or property of the Reiki energy. They are not the energy themsel!es. /s people progress spiritually$ they find increasing le!els of simplicity. It is not uncommon for people to mo!e past the need to use the symbols and simply use the source energy directly. #ymbols are a stimulus and responce tool. The act of seeing them$ drawing them or saying the name of them is a stimulus that cause the responce of connecting to the energy in an attuned person. The symbols also teach us that there are ways that we can focus on different aspect of the energy and use them. Different arts de!eloped from Reiki such as #eichim or Karuna are e:amples of using different symbols as a way to focus on other aspects of the energy. In "sui)s original system called Reiki Ryoho$ the symbols were taught to those that had difficulty connecting to the energy or little e:perience in energy work. They were a tool to be used and let go when the connection to the energy was strong and mastered. They were like training wheels to aid us until we grow and no longer need them. In Reiki Ryoho in ;apan you would ha!e met weekly with your group and master and practiced healing. Then you would ha!e done hatsurei ho and recei!ed Rei7u or an empowerment. /fter a year or more you might ha!e been in!ited to learn the second teachings. If you were taught the symbols at all$ you would ha!e been e:pected to ha!e mo!ed past them before mo!ing to the second teaching. In "sui #hiki Ryoho of the .ayashi+Talaka lineage the symbols were of greater importance. The system was set up to teach others faster than the lengthy training in Reiki Ryoho. /s a result the emphesis has to be greater on symbols because people had to be able to connect to the energy. This emphesis was gi!en and instilled in Mrs. Takata)s masters that she trained. This was codified into the secret and sacred practices that the /lliance teaches and some other masters hold. In ;apan the symbols are common to many traditions and they are not secret. Reiki is sacred$ the symbols are kan7i$ or ;apanese words. They are found on temple walls$ in books$ in 2uddhist practices$ and all sort of other places in plain !iew in ;apan. Indeed$ anyone with a ;apanese dictionary could look them up. The secreti!e belief$ presumably$ is that if the symbols are known they will lose their power or that others will profane them or try to use them for uses other than reiki$ or to harm. The symbols ha!e no power of their own. They are a connection to the source$ not the source itself. The symbols cannot be profaned or used for harm$ they represent the Reiki source$ and Reiki cannot be used for harm. The symbols are not sacred. They ha!e no inherant power other than as a focus or a medium and a tool. When the connection to the energy is mastered$ we mo!e past them and work with the pure energy itself. The Usui Master Symbol The "sui Master #ymbol has se!eral meanings. The most common is The -reat #hining %ight. /nother translation might be -reat 2eing of the "ni!erse #hine on Me. In <en practice$ I ha!e seen it stated as Treasure .ouse of the great beaming %ight$ and is symbolic of one)s 2uddha 4ature and of states of enlightenment. ai !o Mio " The spiritual body is thought to effect the physical body. There are many schools of thought$ both =astern and Western that belie!e this. .ealing at this le!el is thought to effect the spiritual body and can lead to wondrous changes and at times$ Miracles. The practice of ;ohrei uses channeling the -reat %ight of -od into people and the world for healing. The founder of ;ohrei$ Mokichi >kada$ writes in his book Health and the New Civilization$ that all disease comes from clouds forming on the spiritual body$ and by channeling ;ohrei onto people in need of healing it remo!es the clouds and cleanses their spiritual body. The ;ohrei &ellowship e:ists worldwide and has done e:tensi!e medical research on the efficacy of ;ohrei. 81isit them at http*''www.7ohrei.com' 9 The Dai Ko Mio is a return to simplicity. The three other symbols together in one. %e!el one was the simplicity of Reiki$ trusting in the source and simply doing it. %e!el II is learning the ways the source manifests and e:pands our conception of what the source can do. %e!el III$ with the Dai Ko Mio brings us back to the simplicity and the oneness. %ike all Reiki #ymbols$ the Dai Ko Mio should be memori?ed if at all possible$ although e!en that is not necessary$ 7ust preferable. Memori?ing is useful$ because when doing healings or attunements$ it helps to be able to draw them ,uickly and correctly. The DKM$ looks surprisingly similar to the top of the White light symbol 87ohrei9 that is used by the ;ohrei Mo!ement worldwide. The link becomes e!en more interesting because "sui almost certainly would ha!e known and or studied with >nisaburo Deiguchi who taught Mokichi >kada who founded ;ohrei. It was said that Morihei Tanaka who founded Dei Rei ;utsu also had taught "sui and >kada. If nothing else there is some connection in!ol!ed with these practices that all de!eloped and e!ol!ed around the same time in ;apan. The DKM is said to represent the /mida #an?on$ a triune of lo!e light and harmony. These three together represented the ultimate source in the same way that the &ather$ #on and .oly -host do. The DKM is the -reath #hining light. This was the source. >nce you know the Dai Ko Mio$ you can use it for any Reiki use$ e!en in place of the other symbols. This is both because as a triune symbol it contains the others$ and because it is the first step in mo!ing from symbol reliance to 7ust using the energy. "se it e!erywhere and anytime you might want to use the others. "se the name of it as a mantra to meditate concentrating on the "ltimate source of all$ the great shining light and let it illumine your mind. PART II - Ritual as a Process In Traditional Reiki training$ there are four attunements for Reiki I$ each different. There is an additional attunement for Reiki II and III. In nontraditional methods$ attunement methods !ary greatly. #ome ha!e a combined le!el I attunement$ some use a combined le!el I and II attunements$ and others use the same process for all three degrees. /ny attunement is a Ritual. Rituals generally follow a pattern whether you are talking about a 3atholic Mass or .igh Magick or Reiki /ttunements. There are usually three parts to a ritual$ the 2eginning$ the Ritual action ' In!ocation$ and the =nd. The first part is the beginning. The 2eginning is a call to the sacred. It differentiates that what is to follow is going to be different. In a 3atholic Mass the 2eginning is when the priest processes in and Makes the sign of the cross. .e says$ %et us (ray and follows with prayers. This separates what is to follow from daily life. It is special. In Reiki$ the beginning is when we start the attunement. It can be as simple as drawing the symbols in the air$ the preparation of the student by ha!ing them meditate$ saying a prayer or statement of intent or any other practice. The beginning in any Reiki /ttunement is the Intent. The ne:t phase is the Ritual action ' In!ocation. The ritual is the structure of what we are doing. #aying prayers$ doing readings and other practices are an e:ample of ritual. They are steps to be followed to bring about the desired action. /n in!ocation calls forth the power we wish to manifest. In a catholic mass$ we call forth the power of -od to be in our midst. 2y using the ritual of saying psalms and prayers and readings$ we bring forth more clearly the manifestation of -od in our li!es. 2y using the ritual of consecrating bread and wine the -od is brought forth in presence in body and wine. Wiccan practitioners and practitioners of Magick 8such as .ermetic Magick9 will recogni?e how their own practices fit into this pattern. In a Reiki /ttunement$ we use the structure of the ritual actions along with the symbols to in!oke the reiki energy and bring for the purpose of connecting the student with the reiki energy. The dirty little secret of reiki is that any attunement will work. There are crown to crown !ariants$ short forms$ long forms$ traditional forms$ singular master attunements 8my personal fa!orite9 and many many others. /ll are reiki and all work. The %ast part of a Ritual is the =nd. The end is the finish to the process and lets all know that it is finished and complete. In a mass the priest says$ the mass is ended go in peace$ and the people reply Thanks be to -od. In a Reiki attunement$ the process can be as simple as gi!ing an affirmation to the person$ telling them It is done or It is complete$ to telling them This attunement is done$ you are a Reiki Master now and fore!er. -enerally the end has little or no formal ritual attached to it$ since the formal ritual is o!er. The reason that I ha!e discussed Rituals here is to demonstrate that the Ritual is a process. 0ou can modify them as are warranted to suit your needs. The "sui attunements ha!e been modified by many people who ha!e added symbols$ taken away parts$ added parts and all sorts of other things. Make the ritual work for you and your students. .a!ing said all that the only ca!eat is do not make what e!er you do a distraction. I ha!e seen some people into the bells and whistles attunement e:perience. They burn incense$ ha!e music$ special lighting$ candles$ perform ceremonies to the goddess$ catholic rituals$ kaballah@@ /ll of that is nice$ and may pro!ide the recipient with grand ceremony$ but remember they are not necessary. My preference is #IM(%I3IT0. I do not play music. I do not burn incense. In my opinion$ the more simple the better$ anything else detracts from the e:perience of the attunement and the connection to the Reiki =nergy. /s in all things$ you decide how you wish to do them.9 Intent The only real important part of the attunement is the intent. It can be done by intent and the energy alone. If your intent is clear$ there is nothing that you can do wrong in the attunement. If you make a mistake do not fret! =ither re+do the section or action$ or trust that the reiki will correct it and intend it be so. I ha!e seen attunements as simple as holding the person)s hand and sending the energy in up the arms to the chakras to one)s as comple: as in!ol!ing incense$ candles and ceremonial dance type actions. It is the actual doing of the attunement that is sacred$ not necessarily the process. The process seems to matter little if the intent is clear and focused. istant Attunements Distant /ttunements are also possible and appropriate and 7ust a perfect as their hands+on counterparts. It is done by using the distant symbol and !isuali?ation and intent. The Master'Teacher !isuali?es the symbols entering the 3rown 3hakra of the recipient and mo!e through the aura. .e or she can !isuali?e each of the attunement steps$ and see and feel them taking place. 0ou can use a picture of the person or a teddy bear or other representation to assist when doing them. More information on Distant /ttunements can be read about in my article$ Distant /ttunements PART III - Sam#le Attunement Method $ There are many attunement methods. I personally ha!e in my possession o!er a do?en "sui attunements$ at least three traditional attunements 8all different9$ "sui'Tibetan attunements$ Tibetan'"sui attunements$ #hort forms$ and others. What follows is an attunement set that I de!eloped. It would most appropriately be classified 4on+ Traditional "sui Reiki and uses the four "sui #ymbols. It uses a standard form for all three le!els. This is offered here for your re!iew. /s in all things$ use the attunement that resonates best with you. If you are interested in different attunements$ or wish to learn other attunements$ my book The Reiki Attunement Guide is a!ailable at &atbrain.com. "se the link below to the /ngelReiki 2ookstore at &atbrain.com. %on-Traditional Usui Attunement This is an attunement process that I de!eloped. It is in the "sui Tradition. This attunement is used for all three le!els with the modifications for the second and third le!el in patenthesis. The first le!el attunement is repeated A times with a minimum of an hour between attunements. /ttunements may be repeated as often as the person likes. They are always pleasant to recei!e. Reiki #hares and other gatherings of practitioners are a good place for the beginning reiki teacher to practice. 2eginning 2egin by saying a prayer of intent$ either silent or out loud. /sk for the help of the Reiki #ource to do a perfect attunement for this person. If you ha!e spirit guides$ reiki guides$ /ngels$ /scended Masters$ etc.$ you can ask them to assist that this be a perfect attunement for this persons highest good. 8/ngels$ guides and other helpers are not necessary for the attunement to work.9 Draw the (ower #ymbol on your palms$ 3rown and .eart 3hakras$ intending them to open to the Reiki #ource and %ight. 3leanse the room by drawing the four "sui Reiki symbols in the air in front of you. This not only can clease the room but sets the tone for the beginning as a sacred e!ent. (art >ne >n the back$ draw the 3ho Ku Rei from slightly abo!e the top of the head and down the back of the student$ ending at the base of the spine. (lace both hands on top of the head to get an energetic rapport with the student. 2reathe in !isuali?e the Dai Ko Mio. =:hale the 2reath into the 3rown 3hakra blowing the Dai Ko Mio in gold into the 3rown 3hakra$ and mo!e it through the middle of the student)s head$ and into the base of the brain. 0ou can guide it with your hand. /bo!e the head$ draw the "sui Master #ymbol and repeat Dai Ko Mio three times. /gain !isuali?e the symbol mo!ing into the into the 3rown 3hakra$ through the head and into the base of the brain$ guiding it with your hand.

Draw the (ower #ymbol in the air o!er the hands. Then picture the #ymbol mo!ing into the hands$ down into the 3rown 3hakra$ through the head$ and into in the base of the brain saying the name of the power symbol three times and guiding the #ymbol with your hand. 8Repeat this with the #ei .ei Ki and .on #ha <e #ho 4en for le!el II$ and with the Dai Ko Mio for le!el III.9 (art Two Mo!e to the front and place the students prayer+held hands in front of the heart. Draw the (ower #ymbol in the air in front of the middle of forehead 8brow or third eye chakra9. Then picture the #ymbol mo!ing into the brow chakra. -uide it in with the hand if you want. #ay the name of the power symbol three times. 8&or %e!el II do the same with the Mental'=motional #ymbol and the Distant #ymbol. &or the Master %e!el$ use all four symbols$ remembering to repeat the name of each symbol three times9. Draw the (ower #ymbol in the air in front of the heart chakra. Then picture the #ymbol mo!ing into the heart chakra. #ay the name of the power symbol three times. 8&or %e!el II do the same with the Mental'=motional #ymbol and the Distant #ymbol. &or the Master %e!el$ use all four symbols9. 4e:t open the student)s hands like the co!er of a book so they are ne:t to each other palms up facing the ceiling. (lace you left hand under their hands and with your right hand draw out the (ower #ymbol on the hands on the (alm. #ay the name of the power symbol three times. Then lightly slap the hands three times. 8>nly the (ower symbol is placed in the hands in le!el I$ the Distant symbol and mental 'emotional symbol are placed in the hands in le!el II$ and all four of the symbols are placed in the palms in the Master le!el.9 2ring the student)s hands together in prayer position$ and mo!e them back in front of the student)s .eart. 2low o!er the hands$ down to the #olar (le:us$ then up to the Third =ye and 3rown$ and back o!er the hands. (art Three Mo!e behind the student. (lace your hands on the student)s head. "se a positi!e affirmation and repeat it to yourself three times$ Intend it to be accepted by the student. 8#ome e:amples might be* 0ou are a perfectly attuned$ you are a competent Reiki .ealer$ or you are filled with Di!ine %o!e and Wisdom$ or any other affirmation that is significant to you or the student. 0ou can say them out loud if you prefer. >pen your hands and look down through the 3rown 3hakra$ !isuali?ing through to the root chakra. Intend that the beautiful great shining light of the Reiki #ource send a ball of light into the heart and fill all the chakras. Mo!e your hands to the student)s neck$ and then place the right hand on top of the head and the left at the base of the skull. 1isuali?e a door and then draw the power symbol on it and see the door being closed. #ay to yourself$ I seal this /ttunement with Di!ine %o!e and Wisdom. Intend that the (rocess is sealed and complete and the student is now fore!er connected directly to the Reiki #ource. #ay$ you fore!er connected to the Reiki source. (lace your hands on the student)s shoulders briefly e:periencing the moment with them. #ay$ We ha!e both been blessed by this attunement. (art &our Mo!e back to the front of the student. .old your palms toward them. 1isuali?e a white mist surrounding you. 2reath in and be filled with this white light mist of reiki. 2low the mist at the student allowing the final energy of the attunement to bless the student. #ay$ the attunement is complete. /fterwards$ wash the hands to ensure that the energetic connection with the student is broken. PART I& - Per'orming istant Attunements >ccasionally$ there are times when we as Reiki Masters would like to share Reiki with someone 8a friend$ family member$ lo!ed one9 and the limits of distance pre!ent us from being there with them. Distant /ttunements are one way to bridge this gap and to allow us to be able to share this great gift with others. Distant /ttunements are easy to perform if you are familiar with a hands+on attunement procedure. There is no special procedure to perform$ 7ust some slight modifications to the regular attunement set you are familiar and comfortable with. The modifications will be described below. ( #ome people ha!e difficulty with the concept of distant attunements$ and ha!e some issues with the process. These are discussed in my article on this website on Distant /ttunements. istant Attunement Procedures 5. "se your regular attunement set that you are familiar and comfortable with. B. This practice is best done by either arranging a set time with the person for them to recei!e$ or to be on the telephone or on+line with them. C. .a!e them meditate$ pray or other acti!ity to clear the mind and prepare for about B6 minutes prior to the start time of the attunement. A. 0ou must both state clearly that the intent for the attunement to be done. D. 2egin the attunement as usual. #tate clearly that you intend to attune the person. Draw the .on #ha <e #ho 4en in the air and state that you intend this to be fully empower the person. E. #ome people use a teddy bear$ photo or other pro:y to gain an energetic rapport with the person to be attuned. This can be helpful. 0ou can also 7ust feel the sense of them and do it. These are nice ways to feel the connection$ but simply intend and will the attunement to be done$ and perform it. Trust the di!ine source and the reiki attunement will be done. F. (erform the attunement. 1isuali?e doing it. #ee the symbols and draw them as usual. &ollowing these easy steps will fully allow someone !ia diatance to be attuned to reiki. PART & - Attunement Suggestions .ere are some notes about attunements in no particular order. These are practices that you can do during attunements that you may be led to do$ or issues regarding the process. 5. /ll attunements are uni,ue. They are indi!idual. #ometimes you will ha!e feelings to do something or another that might not be in the script. Trust the Reiki and do them. B. 0ou can attune all F chakras including the feet when doing attunements$ not 7ust the top four and the hands. The effect can be a bit much for people so use your 7udgment. C. 0ou can place the symbols'energy directly in to the persons aura ' etheric field as well as placing them in the chakras. 1isuali?e the symbols in the energy field and bring the Reiki energy in the field. A. If you feel blockages or the hands not heating up$ place the person)s finger tips against your palm and send the energy up to the heart$ or blow up from palm to heart to open the channel. D. "se the Raku after attunements to disconnect from the other person$ or make sure to mentally disconnect from the other person by intent. E. Remember that Intent is the key for a perfect attunement. 0ou are 7ust a channel$ the source does the attunements$ so you cannot mess up! &orgetting a step or action is not going to matter. The reiki source will make sure that it is right and trust that it will. F. When you finish gi!ing an attunement$ you will feel e:hilarated. 0ou should not feel drained. Make sure you separate yourself from all e:pectations. Do the attunement with the intent that the person be perfectly attuned to Reiki. %et the Reiki do the work. Do not strain$ or try to put your own energy into the process. Do not use your energy$ let the Reiki do the work. G. The easiest way to perform the attunement is for the student to sit on a chair with their feet on the floor. .a!e the students hold their hands with palms together at chest height 8namaste or gasso position9$ and tell and show them where you will touch and what you will do with their hands. H. 0ou can attune the chakras in the feet. 2end or kneel and draw the symbols on both the feet at the same time. This can help ground the person. 56. 0ou can do the /ttunements without symbols. >nly attempt this if you ha!e sufficient e:perience with the energy and with doing attunements. The empowerment that "sui used was called Rei7u and was a symbol+less attunement. The le!el one attunement of the /lliance is done without symbols. Usui Tibetan Reiki Manual Introduction Welcome to the "sui'Tibetan Material. This #ection consists of the %e!el IIIa Manual and the "sui Tibetan Reiki Manual. In most "sui Tibetan Reiki the material for %e!el I and %e!el II are consistent with the Traditional "sui #hiki Ryoho as taught in the Western .ayashi + Takata style. It is at %e!el IIIa and %e!el IIIb that the changes become ob!ious. The %e!el IIIa Material can be !iewed by clicking this link. %e!el IIIa Manual The Tibetan material was originally added to traditional "sui #hiki Ryoho by /rthur Robertson. /rthur Robertson was a student of one of Mrs. Takata)s Masters$ Iris Ishikuro. The style he created was called Raku Kai Reiki. /lthough the idea that Reiki is from Tibet has been widely populari?ed by such authors as William Rand and Diane #tein there is in actuality no e!idence that Reiki was e!er practiced in Tibet. "sui Reiki Ryoho was de!eloped by Mikao "sui in ;apan incorporating elements of Tendai 2uddhism$ <en Training$ and ;apanese Ki Ko and most likely elements of Dai Rei ;utsu. It is my opinion that it likely shares common roots with the religion ;ohrei. In Tibet$ there are hands on healing arts that might be considered similar to reiki. These are the -reen and White Tara =mpowerments$ and the Medicine 2uddha. There are some similarities in that they use empowerments and some hands on techni,ues but they are not reiki. The Tibetan (ractices were incorporated into "sui Reiki and renamed Raku Kai Reiki. The techni,ues added included the 2reath of the &ire Dragon 8i.e.$ 1iolet 2reath9$ the Microcosmic >rbit called the .ui 0in$ the White %ight #ymbol from the ;ohrei Religion$ the /ntahkarana #ymbol$ Reiki -uides and Reiki -uide Meditations and a few other techni,ues. The symbols of the Raku$ Tibetan Master #ymbol$ and the &ire #erpent were also added. The two schools most influenced by Raku Kai would appear to be Kathleen Milner)s Tera Mai 8tm9 Reiki$ and William Rand)s "sui'Tibetan Reiki. The "sui'Tibetan Tradition has been populari?ed by William Rand and Diane #tein. The "sui ' Tibetan #chools often add a le!el IIIa in their curriculum. This means they are teaching four le!els rather than the traditional three in Western "sui #hiki Ryoho. This le!el is generally taught as a personal mastery le!el$ and a number of new age techni,ues are taught including Reiki 3rystal -rids$ .ealing /ttunements$ the /ntahkarana #ymbol and Meditations$ Reiki -uide Work$ and other Techni,ues. If you would like to read about these please !isit the Reiki %e!el IIIa #ection of this manual. With the e:ception of #canning and 2eaming 8which were part of the original system9 this material was added on by Iris Ishikuro$ /rthur Robertson$ William Rand$ Diane #tein and others. The %e!el I and II in "sui Tibetan Reiki are generally consistent with what is taught in Traditional Western "sui Reiki. (lease refer to the %e!el I and %e!el II Manuals for this information. This section begins with the "sui Tibetan %e!el IIIb Master symbols. The "sui'Tibetan traditions did not e:ist before 5HGA and were de!eloped after that date. #ince the "sui'Tibetan Traditions ha!e added a le!el in between The Traditional "sui #hiki %e!els of %e!el B and %e!el C it is important to e:amine the le!els and the changes that this entailed. In the .ayashi+Takata ) tradition that de!eloped in the Western World there were only three le!els. These were %e!el 5$ %e!el B$ and %e!el C or the Reiki Master %e!el. %e!el 5 typically included recei!ing one attunement$ taught the hand positions$ the reiki history$ some basic guidelines to healing$ and practice using the reiki. %e!el B added distant healing$ the three reiki symbols 8power symbol'focus$ mental+emotional symbol'harmony$ and Distance #ymbol'3onnection9 are taught and uses are gi!en. #ome /lliance masters continue to teach an emotional healing program. #ome still taught scanning. %e!el C taught the master symbol$ the attunement process and how to do attunements. It is useful to e:amine what continued to be taught in the -akkai in ;apan in an unbroken line since "sui. In Reiki Ryoho as practiced in ;apan in the -akkai there are presently four le!els. These are #ho+den$ >ku+den ?en ki and >ku+den Kouki$ and #hinpi+den. The ;apanese ha!e two le!els of second teachings$ where in the West some schools ha!e %e!el IIIa and IIIb. >ku+den <en ki is the second teaching. This contained .atsurei+ho 8a way to de!elop and e:pand your reiki channel and grow spiritually. .atsurei ho includes self cleansing and meditation. It also includes "shi+te$ >shi+te$ and 4ade+te which are tapping hand$ pushing hand$ and stroking hand respecti!ely. These techni,ues are common in chi kung and probably came from ;apanese Ki Ko. They are used to remo!e negati!e energies. 8They are also massage+like in some sense and will get you into a lot of trouble here in the Regulatory paradise in the west where massage is licensed! This le!el also included #eikaku 3hiryou. >ku+den Kouki is the second teaching part II. In the Reiki Ryoho in ;apan this le!el is a le!el of personal and spiritual de!elopment$ while in the west it is called le!el IIIa and is a le!el of personal mastery. %e!el IIIa in the west bears little resemblance to the practices taught in this le!el in ;apan. This included additional meditations 8as listed abo!e9 as well as =nkaku 3hiryou which is known in the west as distant treatment. "sui Reiki Ryoho was not to de!elop psychic powers. It was an enlightenment system which healing was one part. Raku Kai Reiki added the 2reath of the &ire Dragon$ the Water 3eremony$ the White light symbol 8;ohrei9$ The Tibetan symbols$ the .ui 0in$ and Ralf ;enson)s Master &re,uency -enerator (lates. %ater Masters such as William Rand and Diane #tein seem to ha!e added the teaching of reiki bo:es$ sending at inter!als$ crystal grids$ /ntahkarana symbols$ Tibetan symbols$ Reiki -uides$ .ealing /ttunements$ #ymbol Meditations$ and other techni,ues. The popularity of these approaches ha!e led to the widespread but incorrect belief that reiki was from Tibet$ rather than these were techni,ues that some masters felt ga!e them a better e:perience of Reiki. The Reiki %e!el 5 and %e!el B in the Tibetan Reiki)s are essentially the same as they are in "sui #hiki Ryoho as practiced in the west. To re!iew this material$ please refer to the "sui #hiki Ryoho Level " and Level $ Manuals on this site. Usui Tibetan Reiki Level IIIa Manual The "sui Tibetan %e!el IIIa was added in a few years back. It was concei!ed of and is called a le!el of (ersonal Mastery. This generally amounts to being taught a number of new age add+on techni,ues. The most common of these are a reiki #ymbol Meditation$ a -oal Manifestation Techni,ue$ a Reiki 3rystal -rid$ a Techni,ue to meet your Reiki -uides$ a .ealing /ttunement$ a (sychic #urgery Techni,ue$ and the /ntahkarana symbol and Meditation. I ha!e often seen those teaching le!el IIIa claim that the le!el IIIa class deepens the connection with the Reiki #ource$ or people who take le!el IIIa are better healers$ or most people do not want to teach and so this le!el of )personal mastery) enables them to practice more fully as reiki practitioners. %et us e:amine each of these claims and e!aluate what is being said with what we know about Reiki. The first statement was$ that le!el IIIa deepens the connection with the Reiki #ource. The reality is that any practice of Reiki$ whether that be self+treatments$ treating others$ or hatsurei ho$ deepens the connection with the reiki source. 3onsistent practice is the key. That being said e!en e:tensi!e practice does not seem to change the healing outcomes here in the western tradition. In the west it is commonly taught that Reiki does the healing$ not us. We are channels of the Reiki energy from the >ne #ource 8-od'-oddess'3reator'Whate!er phrase floats your boat9. / personal connection to the Reiki #ource is wonderful$ indeed it is that feeling that makes Reiki so wonderful to do. It allows you to e:perience a lo!ing personal connection to the 3reator. That being said$ a deepening of that connection is not in any way necessary to heal using Reiki. .ow could it be$ since we are not the one)s doing the healing. If Reiki truly always acts in the highest good of the person recei!ing it$ then as long as I am connected to the reiki source$ then is flows through me into the person recei!ing for their highest good. The second statement was$ people who take le!el IIIa are better healers. %et us again look at the basic assumptions of Reiki. Reiki does the healing and we are channels$ and Reiki can do no harm and always works in the highest good of the person recei!ing it. If these assumptions regarding Reiki are true$ then you ability as a healer is irrele!ant. Reiki does the healing$ you are along for the ride 8but it is a !ery nice ride$ en7oy it!9. 0ou can learn all the meditati!e$ crystal using$ space alien$ ascended masters$ goddess channeling$ angel working practices you want$ they won)t make the Reiki any better. 8/lthough there is the argument that Reiki increase the efficacy of those practices$ and if that is the case some argument could be made regarding their inclusion. .owe!er$ at that point are you still doing ReikiI9 The third statement abo!e made was$ or most people do not want to teach and so this le!el of )personal mastery) enables them to practice more fully as reiki practitioners. What if one fine day you decide you want to pass this to you mother$ father$ children$ siblings$ friendsI What thenI Do you then go and pay for another class to learn the attunement process that you could already do$ had it been taught when you recei!ed the master attunement in IIIaI >r do you$ like some$ simply get a copy of the attunement process and then use it$ but worry that you may not be doing it correctlyI This le!el to me seems artificial$ and a great marketing strategy. (ersonal Mastery with Reiki comes from e:perience with Reiki$ not with pseudo+Reiki add on techni,ues. (ersonal mastery comes from doing Reiki. Reiki$ from the Di!ine source$ teaches many subtle e:periential lessons. These are your lessons. #oft lo!ing e:periential lessons that cannot be ade,uately communicated to another in a class no matter how good a communicator you are. They can only be communicated by Reiki in the doing and being. Doing Reiki on yourself or others C6 minutes a day will teach you far more than any manual 8especially one as mediocre as this one is!9. If you truly desire to de!elop personal mastery$ I would strongly encourage you to learn the Reiki Ryoho techni,ue of .atsurei ho and practice it daily. /dditionally$ do the principles morning and at night and any time that you feel emotionally charged$ angry or stressed. This is in accord with the original intent and design of the "sui #ystem and will make a profound difference in your own inner healing. Reiki Advanced Techni*ues+R,A,T,- Welcome to the Reiki /d!anced Techni,ues #ection of the >n+%ine Manual! Reiki /d!anced Techni,ues or R.A.T. are supplemental techni,ues added to traditional "sui reiki from a !ast array of sources. During the time that Mrs. Takata was teaching$ the practice of "sui #hiki Ryoho Reiki in /merica$ was consistent and fairly standardi?ed. Mrs. Takata died in 5HG6. /fter Mrs. Takata)s death$ people began to ,uestion pricing and !arious practices in Reiki. Many people that practice Reiki$ ha!e e:perienced other systems on their 7ourney. These might include Wicca$ .ermetic Magic$ Kaballah$ 3rystals$ Meditation$ Tibetan 2uddhist . (ractices$ and e!erything in between. #ome Reiki Masters began e:perimenting with this simple art of Reiki$ and adding e!erything under the sun into it. 4ew symbols were added. (eople began speculating then stating Reiki came from Tibet$ =gypt$ /tlantis$ and whole new arts were built onto the framework of what was Reiki. 4ew styles emerged. #tyles such as "sui'Tibetan Reiki$ 1a7ra Reiki 8was ;ohre Reiki9$ 2lue #tar Reiki$ Karuna ReikiJ $ Tera Mai ReikiJ $ #eichim Reiki$ %ightarian ReikiJ #iddheartha ReikiJ $ and more others than I can probably name. #ome added new symbols$ others modified the attunement process$ still others changed the focus from a healing art to a tool for ascension work or self+de!elopment$ or for -alactic .ealing. #ome of these arts claim to be higher fre,uency energy$ or more powerful$ or e!en enlightenment producing! Understand that none o' these techni*ues are necessary to #ractice reiki e''ectively/ and none o' the 0ere used in 1a#an, #ome Reiki Masters ,uestion the !alidity of these practices$ or the inclusion of them under the descriptor Reiki. I will list some of the more common modifications and Reiki /d!anced (ractices 8R/T9 here$ as well as some other Techni,ues of /d!anced Reiki 8T./.R.9. Try them if you choose. If you find them useful$ add them to your practices. .ere you will find some of what are commonly referred to as ad!anced techni,ues. These are my personal modifications of these practices are presented here. Reiki Symbol Meditation Reiki #ymbol Meditation is meditation using the Reiki #ymbols. It is a hybrid of meditation and !isuali?ation that is half attunement and half meditation. It is designed to increase the connection to the reiki source by meditating on the symbols. Knowing this is the process$ those of you who are familiar with meditation could easily fashion your own meditation on the symbols$ !isuali?ing the symbols and meditating on the connection to the reiki source. =:periment and e:plore. These practices are not written in stone$ and were de!eloped by other people$ 7ust like you. Their ways are no better 8or no worseI!!9 than yours. To do this meditation$ use guidelines that anyone doing meditation of any sort might follow. -et yourself into a comfortable position. #itting in a comfortable chair that allows your spine to be erect is good. (lacing your hands on your lap and ha!ing your feet comfortably touch the floor generally works well. Rela:ing the body using some deep breathing$ or muscular rela:ation can sometimes help. /s with all meditation$ if your mind wanders while meditating$ allow the thoughts to slip away$ paying them no mind$ and gently refocus. .a!ing done that$ breathe slow and deep$ shut your eyes and focus on the feeling of Reiki. #ometimes it helps to allow that sensation to begin in your palms. /llow the reiki to pour into you and intend that it do so. %et your mind stay on this sensation and feeling. 4ow allow the lo!ing feel of the Reiki #ource to be with you as the reiki energy flows into you. #tay with this feeling for a time and then when you are ready$ you can begin to meditate on the symbols. The first symbol we will use is the Master symbol. =ither draw it in front of you or !isuali?e it in your mind. #ay the name of the symbol 8either out loud or in your head9. 1isuali?e the symbol as golden$ intensely bright and empowered with the lo!ing energy of the reiki source. /llow it to flow into you$ and for any message it might ha!e for you to manifest. #tay focused on the symbol and the reiki flow and the source. The Master symbol is the symbol of empowerment$ and of the -reat #hining %ight. /llow the symbol and energy to show you what that means. #tay with this as long as you feel comfortable. When you are ready$ do the same with the (ower #ymbol$ the Mental'=motional #ymbol$ and the Distance #ymbol. 0ou can so the meditation with all four symbols in one setting$ or my personal preference is to only work with one symbol per session and increase the time meditating on that symbol. The connection feels more personal that way. When you are finished$ draw all four symbols in front of you saying their names. That the reiki source for sharing this with you. /t this point$ you are likely to be filled with energy and this would be a good time to work on doing self+treatments$ treating others$ doing distant healing$ manifesting goals$ charging your reiki crystals$ or watching reruns of -reen /cres. 8no really!!!$ /rnold the pig helps ground people. >k$ so that was a bad 7oke. .owe!er$ grounding yourself is important! If you are not grounded$ you might find yourself light headed and di??y after this meditation. &ind something that is grounding and do it. 0ou can place your palms on the earth$ go for a walk$ !isuali?e roots running to the center of the earth and connecting$ drink water or whate!er works for you. 0ou can also put your tongue on the soft pallate 87ust behind the teeth9$ draw the power symbol on the feet$ that hara 87ust below the na!al9 and the palms. (lace your palms on the hara and concentrate on that area for a few minutes. This tends to bring the e:cess energy from the upper chakras and into the hara. /ny method of grounding works and keeps the di??ies from happening! There are an infinite number of possibilities of Reiki Meditations a!ailable. 0ou can do it focusing only on the connection to the reiki source. 0ou can add other meditati!e practices such as light body meditations$ or Mer+Ka+2a. =:periement and know that your modifications are 7ust as good and !alid as anyone else)s$ they 7ust cost less! Mani'esting 2oals There are se!eral methods a!ailable to help use reiki and the reiki symbols to manifest goals. /d!ocates of these techni,ues feel that they can help manifest changes in your life. Manifestation practices can be done alone$ or after doing a Reiki Meditation like the one described abo!e. 4o matter what method you use to manifest goals$ always be ethical in what you ask for. #it and rela:$ breathing gently and deeply. =ither out loud or to yourself$ say your goal. #tate it in such a way that their can only be one interpretation and cannot be misinterpreted. 3onnect to the Reiki energy. Draw the symbols on your palms. In your mind$ create a mental mo!ie$ or mental image of this goal being accomplished. Draw the reiki symbols on the mental picture starting with the power symbol and ending with the power symbol. Repeat this same procedure for each goal you wish to accomplish. When you are finished$ say 8out loud or in your mind9 If this be possible within Di!ine lo!e and wisdom$ then let it be so. &inish by drawing all the reiki symbols again on the !isuali?ation and sealing it with a power symbol. 2elie!e totally that this process is done and that this goal is already being manifested. /nother Manifestation techni,ue is a Manifestation Triangle. This techni,ue is a better choice for those who are not as good with !isuali?ation techni,ues. /lso$ because it in!ol!es writing$ it is more concrete and can help focus you on what you truly want. The first step is to draw a triangle. /t the bottom left hand corner write the person)s name that this manifestation is to be for 8yourself or someone else9. 4e:t$ at the top of the triangle$ write what you want to happen. This should be the best possible solution to the situation. The situation and person)s name should be specific. 0ou can say This will manifest for the highest good of 8person)s name9. 4e:t$ at the bottom right hand corner$ write the situation. /fter setting up your triangle$ and writing out the name$ solution and situation$ draw a power key symbol o!er each corner. Draw a power symbol o!er the whole triangle. (lace your hands on the triangle picture and do reiki on it$ intending it to manifest. Reiki 3rystal 2rid 4 This techni,ue was de!eloped to set up a continuous flow of reiki energy for healing or protection by using crystals and the reiki energy. This techni,ue did not e:ist in Reiki Ryoho in ;apan$ and was not part of the .ayashi+Takata "sui #hiki Ryoho$ but like most of the add+on)s was de!eloped after the death of Mrs. Takata. It is not my belief that you can empower a grid to continuously send Reiki. I think sending reiki in!ol!es intent and a connection between the sender$ the energy and the recei!er. I do not teach this practice. It is included here for your reference. The ad!ocates of this procedure belie!e that a crystal grid can be created and charged with Reiki energy. It is thought that it will continue to send Reiki energy for healing$ protection$ or to assist with goal manifestation for se!eral days or longer. The idea of using charged ob7ects to bring about a desired outcome for the user or wearer is nothing new. Talismans ha!e been used throught recorded history. These techni,ues are generally from magical traditions. (sychologists belie!e that there is a self+fulfilling prophecy regarding the wearing of such ob7ects as well as a placebo effect. To make the Reiki -rid you need eight crystals. 8There are many books on crystal selection with rather lengthy guidelines about how to select the perfect crystal for you.9 &or our purposes$ the easiest method of crystal selection is to pick the crystals up and 7ust see how they feel to you. Try not to so much think about this as feel it. #end some reiki into the crystal and see how that feels as well$ allowing your intuition to guide you. Most new age shops and many science or hobby shops sell crystals. Regular Rose Kuart?$ or White Kuart? tumbled smooth stones are sufficient for the puspose of making this grid and are ine:pensi!e. 0ou will also need a picture of the person that the grid will send to or protect. /fter you ha!e the stones$ they will need to be cleansed. #ome crystal e:perts belie!e you should cleanse them in clear water and then lea!e them in the sun and moon light for a period of three days. >ther e:perts belie!e it is best to place them in rock or sea salt or salt water for BA hours. #ay a prayer o!er them after you ha!e put them in the salt or salt water$ asking that they be purified for your highest spiritual good. 3hoose a place for the Reiki -rid. The best location is one where others do not go so that the grid is not disturbed. Take the eight crystals that you ha!e cleansed$ and choose the one that seems the strongest. This will be the Master 3harging 3rystal. &or your central 8Master9 crystal$ you may want to choose a double terminated crystal$ a cluster$ a pyramid or a crystal ball. 8#ome practitioners conceptuali?e this in terms of yin and yang. 0ou are looking for the crystal that is the most yang or ha!ing the strongest male energy.9 4e:t$ place si: of the crystals at e,ual points around a circle about 56 to 5Binches in diameter. This creates a he:agon or si:+sided figure. (lace the last crystal in the center. This makes se!en stones in the design in total. The eighth will be used as the Master crystal. (lay with the arrangement until it feels right. This arrangement uses a si: sided figure. It is possible to construct them in any geometric shape. 1arious Magick traditions such as Wicca and .ermetic Magick attribute different meanings to the !arious shapes. 3hoose one that best represents what you are trying to accomplish. Take a picture of yourself or the person that you want to send reiki to. Draw the four Reiki #ymbols on the back$ the person)s name$ and an affirmation to help empower and set the intent of the process. 2e creati!e. 0ou can use a piece of paper with a goal$ intent or need on it instead of a picture. Draw out the four Reiki #ymbols on the paper and then Reiki it between your hands and place it within the crystal -rid. The -rid will continuously send Reiki to heal the person or bring about the goal. /t this point you ha!e the purified crystals and your prepared picture. The ne:t step is to charge the crystals with the reiki energy. This is !ery simple to do. Take each crystal into your hands and send Reiki into it for about 56 minutes or so. Do this with each crystal$ one at a time until all of them are done. 0ou can also say prayers$ or ask your Reiki or spiritual guides to assist you while you are charging them. /nother way to charge them is to do a Reiki /ttunement on each crystal or do an attunement on the grid once it is completed. >nce the crystals are charged put each back in its place on the grid. (ut the Master 3rystal in last. It is suggested that you not mo!e the crystals after they are in place as it will weaken the energy connections. The Master 3rystal is used to keep your Reiki -rid charged. This stone can be recharged when needed by holding it in the hand during a reiki meditation$ beaming reiki into it$ or reattuning it. To finish the grid hold the Master crystal in your right hand. #tarting at the top$ begin to connect the dots that are formed by the crystals on the grid. 0ou will be starting at the top and making si: triangles as you connect the imaginary lines between the stones on the outside and the center stone. Mo!e around the -rid in a counterclockwise direction. 0ou can also say an affirmation or mantra as you do this. #ome masters meditate with they Master 3rystal fre,uently to keep their Reiki -rid charged up. Reiki 2uide Meditation This techni,ue is commonly taught in the %e!el IIIa classes of the "sui'Tibetan #chool and has been populari?ed by authors such as William Rand and Diane #tein. Reiki -uides were not part of Traditional Reiki as taught by "sui. %ike most of the add+on material$ Reiki -uides and the belief in them were added on by other masters in the west after the death of Mrs. Takata and were ne!er used by "sui. "nderstand that Reiki works without guides and that guides are not necessary to practicing reiki$ or doing attunements. Many people use reiki their entire li!es without e!er ha!ing a guide. /lthough I do belie!e that people can ha!e guides 8and there is plenty of precedents set by the world)s religions with guardian angels and other spirit protectors9 I am not of the mind that there are specific reiki guides. There are some authors belie!e that reiki guides are really the ones that do reiki$ and are the presence doing the attunements and will correct errors made by the Reiki Master during an attunement. I do not share this belief and my opinion is that reiki in all manifestations comes from the source of all. I do not use guides in my practice$ nor do I teach them or this procedure. It is included here for your reference only. %ike all meditation practices$ find a time alone and a place without distractions. #it comfortably in a straight backed chair with your hands on your thighs. /s you breath in$ see the breath as white light filling e!ery part of your body. /s the white light goes through your body with your breath$ it collects this tension and is blown out of you with the release of the breath. 1isuali?e a fountain of white %ight descending down o!er you. This light flows o!er you and down to the ground. /s it touches your energy it collects the negati!e energy and e!erything that is not for your highest good. The Reiki %ight transmutes the negati!e energy into light. /llow the light to form a protecti!e bubble around you. 0ou are completely surrounded by this bubble of light and you feel safe and protected.

It is a pseudo+hypnosis'!isuali?ation psychodrama techni,ue that tries to focus a person on sol!ing an area that they are stuck in and breaking up blockages. This techni,ue reminds me of some neuro+linguistic programming techni,ues I was once taught minus the reiki. I do not teach this material in any of my classes. 0ou may click the link here to re!iew the proceedure for your reference. Reiki (sychic #urgery Techniques of Advanced Reiki (T.A.R) Welcome to the Techni,ues of /d!anced Reiki 8T./.R.9 .ere you will find a .ealing /ttunement$ and the /ntahkarana #ymbol and Meditation. Section 6ne - The Reiki 7ealing Attunement #ack$roun / Reiki .ealing /ttunement is a non+initiatory attunement that is gi!en for healing purposes only. It was not a part of traditional "sui Reiki and as such is not necessary in the least to practice Reiki. This /ttunement was conceptuali?ed to be non+initiatory which means that it is not supposed to initiate the person recei!ing it into Reiki. It was thought that it would bring higher fre,uency energies and more powerful le!els of energies into the person than a traditional hands on treatment. 8>kay$ for those diligent readers who ha!e ploughed through all this ranting and ra!ing of mine$ here is your test + .ow am I going to respond to these claimsI9 The prime directi!e of reiki is that we do not control the energy$ reiki does the healing not us$ and reiki always works for the highest good of the recipient. #o@@.. using that as a guideline I would ha!e to say that the healing attunement would not work any better at healing than any regular hands on treatment. Indeed$ how could itI Reiki does the healing not us$ and Reiki decides what is in the highest good of the person$ not us$ so we cannot control the energy by doing e:tra special healing attunements. Please %ote8 This /ttunement as conceptuali?ed is not supposed to initiate the client into Reiki. The in!entors of this procedure belie!e that it is not an /ttunement (rocess for conferring the status of Reiki practitioner$ therefore the Reiki Master can utili?e this particular process in his or her healing work. It is thought that the reason the .ealing /ttunement does not initiate the client into Reiki is that the #ymbols are not placed into the hands$ but instead are placed in the recipient)s .eart 3hakra. My e:perience tells me that any attunement confers the status of a reiki practitioner on a person. 8This occurred a number of times after doing the .ealing /ttunement and ha!ing people contact you days later telling you that their hands are !ery hot$ and that when e!er they touch themsel!es or others they become hot and it feels rela:ing and pleasant to the recei!er. "pon e:amination and ha!ing them try this on me$ it appeared that they had recei!ed an attunement.9 "nderstand full well when gi!ing this that you are initiating someone into reiki. If you do this and the person e:periences post attunement effects$ you are ethically bound to instruct them in reiki so they understand the gift gi!en them. It was told to me that the effect of this attunement does not last more than C6 days. That also has not been borne out by my e:perience. With a willing !olunteer$ it was found that the effect was still acti!e after HD days 8and counting9 and so please heed the cautionary statement abo!e. This Reiki .ealing /ttunement was thought to be a way for a client to be able to remo!e blockages and is used with a pseudo+therapeutic techni,ue to help the person focus on the blockage and why it might be occuring. /s with any attunement$ it can remo!e negati!e energies from the client)s physical body$ aura and chakras. It can also help release blocks. It needs to be said that this is what any regular hands on reiki session or attunement does. To "tili?e the blockage releasing potential of the .ealing /ttunement e:plain to the person that they must be willing to let go of the block as well as any other effected areas in their life related to the block. In order for it to be most effecti!e they must be willing to let go and heal and make the necessary changes related to the block. The client)s intent in the attunement should be focused on the issues relating to the block and letting go of it and healing. This .ealing /ttunement is also conceptuali?ed to help empower goals. 8&or more information about -oal =mpowerment and Manifestation of -oals. To do this$ discuss with the person what goals they ha!e had trouble achie!ing$ and what might need to be released and healed so it can be achie!ed. Reali?e that there are often unconscious fears and feelings that pre!ent the person from achie!ing the goal. /lso$ there can be fears that if the goals is accomplished the person may ha!e to make changes in their life which may be uncomfortable or frightening and so they a!oid completing that goal. These blocks and fears can be focused on and released during the healing attunement. 9 Procedure %ike all attunements$ the client should sit in a chair$ back erect$ with their feet on the floor. The de!elopers of this techni,ue belie!e that the recipient)s eyes should be closed for the duration of the healing attunement. This is because they need to focus inwardly on achie!ing their primary purpose. It is also done so they cannot see the attunement process. (rior to starting the .ealing /ttunement mo!e behind the person and say a silent prayer and state your intent. 0ou can also ask for the help of your spiritual -uides$ Reiki -uides$ angels$ etc. Draw the (ower symbol on your palm$ 3rown$ and heart 3hakras and intend that they be opened to the %ight. Draw all si: Reiki #ymbols in the air in front of you$ then you are ready. . Part 6ne - Move behind the Person &rom behind the client make the sign of the &ire #erpent. This starts from abo!e the head$ down the back and spirals at the base of the spine. (lace your hands on their shoulders$ or on top of their head for a few moments to de!elop an energetic rapport with the person. 3ontract and hold the .ui 0in$ and hold it throughout the entire attunement. Do the 1iolet 2reath. 8To see the .ui 0in and !iolet breath$ see the instructions in the Reiki %e!el III #ection of this manual. >pen your hands and e:hale into the 3rown 3hakra$ picturing the Tibetan Master #ymbol mo!ing from the middle of your head$ out with your breath$ into their crown chakra. Mo!e the symbol down through their head$ guiding it with your hand$ into their heart chakra while saying the name of the Dumo 8Tibetan Master #ymbol9 three times. 8Mo!ing the symbol into the heart chakra is how this differs from a traditional attunement where the symbols go into the base of the brain. The de!elopers of this techni,ue belie!e that means the person will not be Initiated into Reiki. I belie!e this to be incorrect. Read the warnings regarding this which are part of this section.9 Do the same techni,ue with the "sui Master #ymbol$ this time saying the name of the "sui master symbol three times as you mo!e it from the crown shakra to the heart. Repeat this with the (ower #ymbol$ the Mental'=motional #ymbol and the Distance .ealing #ymbol Part T0o - Move to the :ront Draw the Tibetan #ymbol o!er the crown chakra. #ay the name of the Dumo three times as you mo!e it from the crown chakra to the third eye chakra. the heart and then into the solar ple:us. -ently tap the top of the head three times with the finger tips. Repeat this with the "sui Master #ymbol$ the (ower symbol$ the Mental'=motional symbol$ and the Distance .ealing #ymbol. 2low toward the #olar (le:us$ and gently blow from the .eart$ the Third =ye and 3rown 3hakras. 2low back down to the #olar (le:us$ then back up to the 3rown. This is one slow e!en breath. 0ou are opening the channels when you do this so you can use your hands to help guide the energy. 0ou can also keep a strong intention to remo!e and sweep out all negati!e energy by sweeping out this energy as you blow by making a sweeping motion with the hands. #weep it from the aura to the light. Part Three - Move behind the Person %ook down the head through the crown chakra$ and !isuali?e and imagine that you can see the heart. %ook for a soft green$ white or pink ball of light. (lace a positi!e affirmation into the person)s heart by repeating it to yourself three times. Iintend it to enter the heart and to be accepted by the subconscious mind. #ome e:amples might be 0ou are completely healed by Di!ine %o!e$ or 0ou are empowered by Di!ine %o!e and Wisdom (lace one hand on the back of the person)s heart 3hakra and your other hand on their shoulder. #ay aloud$ I now perfectly seal this healing process with Di!ine %o!e and Wisdom (icture a door with the (ower symbol on it being closed and locked o!er the .eart 3hakra. While you do this$ intend$ will and feel that the healing process is sealed and complete. (lace your hands on the person)s shoulders knowing that you ha!e both been blessed by this process. Part :our - Move to the :ront .old your hands at waist le!el$ palms out facing the person$ makse sure the hui yin is contracted and breath a final breath at the person intending that the energy act as a blessing for the person. #ome masters program this attunement to last a specified time for the person to be able to work on the issue. Section T0o - Antahkarana - Ancient Symbol o' 7ealing (Author's note - The Antahkarana exists in several styles of Reiki inludin! the "sui#Ti$etan% Ti$etan and Raku &ai. To the $est of 'y knowled!e% it did not exist in "sui Reiki.

The /ntahkarana is reputed to cure e!erything 8although I ha!e repeatedly tried and my beautiful golden mane of hair has not returned and still I ha!e this receeding hairline. %ucky my wife likes 3aptain (iccard and his bald head from #tar Trek*T4-$ so perhaps this is not necessarily a bad thing......9 Most descriptions I ha!e seen of the /ntahkarana describe it as bring in the spiritual anatomy of all li!ing things. It is the connection between your brain and your higher self. It is thought that if you are to e!er grow spiritually$ you must de!elop and heal this connection. The symbol itself is thought to represent that connection and is thought by its mere presence 8i.e.$ seeing it9 to facilitate that connection. Indeed$ 7ust ha!ing the thing in sight is supposed to ha!e a beneficial and uplifting effect on the chakras and auras. It will also increase the efficacy of all healing techni,ues. It is thought to complete the Microcosmic orbit by meditating on it$ which facilitates a flow of energy to all the chakras. I ha!e heard of it being used to clear and cleanse crystals of negati!e energy. The /ntahkarana symbol is a cube shaped symbol. It has on its surface three se!ens. These are thought to correspond to the F chakras$ se!en colors$ se!en tones on the musical scale. In the apocryphal book of Re!elations there are the three se!ens of the se!en trumpets$ the se!en candlesticks and the se!en seals. Its energy mo!es through all dimensions$ leading us to out higher self. It probably corresponded also to the se!en plantets. The Meditation practice included here is attributed to Tibetan practices. &rom the information I was taught$ it was said that the monks would use a room lit with se!en candles. /n earthen !essel would be in the room. Its shape was o!al. It contained water. The o!al shaped !essel represented the cosmic egg of the uni!erse. There was a stool that the monk would sit upon$ which contained the /ntahkarana symbol made out of a sil!er metal 8This might be a master fre,uency plate or master fre,uency generator$ that Ralf ;ensen de!eloped. They are for sale at the /merican Reiki Masters /ssociation8tm9.9 (urportedly the monks would sit on the stool and meditate on the reiki symbols which were on a copper mirror on the other ; side of the room which would merge the hea!enly reiki energies and the antakarana would focus the earth energy blending them in the chakras 8does this sound like #K.M to anyone but meIII9 (Author's note - -t is hi!hly unlikely that Ti$etan )a'a 0onks would $e 'editatin! on (Reiki( sy'$ols% es/eially the H121N and the 3&0% whih are 4a/anese &an5i. - know that the 3iane 1tein fans out there are re'indin! the'selves at this 'o'ent that 3iane writes that there are 6++7 sy'$ols in a 'onestary in Ti$et waitin! to $e re-revealed to the world.

These artiles address this su$5et in 'ore detail.) The Antahkarana Symbol The /ntahkarana is reported to be ,uite a panacea. It is said to ha!e its own consciousness$ to work on the aura$ the chakras$ the organs$ and !arious other aspects of the energy body. It is said to connect you to the higher self. It is like that shampoo that ad7usts to what your hair needsL in that it ad7usts itself to what you need at the time. I was taught that it cannot be used for harm$ much in the same way Reiki cannot be used for harm. I was taught you can place it on things$ under them$ and all sorts of places to assisst in healing. It is primarily used for Meditation$ and there are a number of methods for doing that. The simplest is to ga?e on the form on a paper or to make a cube with the image on it and stare at it and meditate. #ome people report that the image will fade in and out of consciousness or that they will see !isions. The si?e of the image is supposedly related to the masculine and feminine aspects of the image. It was taught me that a large single image feminine and the smaller symbol was masculine in energy. / Meditation using the /ntahkarana #ymbol This meditation$ as it was taught me appears to be like the Reiki Meditation in the R./.T 8see abo!e9 #ection of this manual$ along with some basic 3hi -ung Macrocosmic >rbit work. This process was thought to cleanse the system of negati!ity$ negati!e energy$ and to cleanse the chakras as you circulate the energy. 8/uthor)s note* /ny good meditation or chi gung practice will do this.9 This meditation is purported to impro!e your healing skills$ open the third eye$ increase your clair!oyance$ and any other number of wonderments. The process begins with "sing the Reiki Master #ymbol 8/uthor)s note* has anyone but me noticed that most of these additional techni,ues need the Reiki #ymbols'energy to power or empower themI9 &irst place the /ntahkarana #ymbol under your feet. 4e:t do a complete Reiki .ealing /ttunement on yourself. (lace your hands on your thighs and rela:. &eel the Reiki flow. 4ow draw the "sui Master symbol in the air before you. 8#ome !isuali?e white light coming from their hand as they draw the symbol. /s you draw the symbol$ say the name of the "sui Master symbol three times. Keep the image in your mind and meditate on it. 4ow &ocus your ga?e on the /ntahkarana #ymbol. #ay the name of the symbol three times$ and then hold the symbol in your mind)s eye and meditate on the symbol. When you feel done$ focus on the symbols and mo!e them up$ into the light$ or a field of intense white light. When this is done$ do the .ui 0in$ then !isuali?e the "sui (ower symbol at the .ara$ and then at each chakra all around the channel until you reach the hara again. This is to clear each chakra. #ee the light and Reiki energy at each chakra as you do this. Well$ there you ha!e it. %e!el IIIa. "se this if you like$ but understand that none of this is done in ;apan and it is not necessary to do Reiki$ or do it effecti!ely. %e!el IIIb %e!el IIIb generally consists of two parts. The first teaches the "sui #hiki Ryoho %e!el III Master material including the "sui Master symbol and its uses. #econd$ the Tibetan material and symbols was taught. 3lick this link to !iew the "sui #hiki Ryoho %e!el III Master Manual on this site. This material should be learned before proceeding. Learning and Using The Usui / Tibetan Symbols The "sui'Tibetan symbols consist of the &ire #erpent$ Dumo$ and Raku. / brief statement regarding symbols needs to be addressed. #ymbols are e:actly that$ a symbol. They are not the thing they represent. These symbols$ like the "sui symbols are representations of a specific manifestation or property of the Reiki energy. They are not the energy themsel!es. /s people progress spiritually$ they find increasing le!els of simplicity. It is not uncommon for people to mo!e past the need to use the symbols and simply use the source energy directly. #ome may find the presentation of the symbols here abhorrent. To them$ the symbols are secret and sacred. The secreti!e belief$ presumably$ is that if the symbols are known they will lose their power or that others will profane them or try to use them for uses other than reiki$ or to harm. The symbols ha!e no power of their own. They are a connection to the source$ not the source itself. The symbols cannot be profaned or used for harm$ they represent the Reiki source$ and Reiki cannot be used for harm. Reiki is sacred$ the symbols are kan7i$ or ;apanese words. They are found on temple walls$ in books$ in 2uddhist practices$ and all sort of other places in plain !iew in ;apan. Indeed$ anyone with a ;apanese dictionary could look them up. UM6 or Tibetan Master Symbol The "sui'Tibetan style also refer to the Dumo as a Dai Ko Mio$ or the Tibetan DaiKoMio. In my practice$ I refer to the "sui Master #ymbol as the Dai Ko Mio$ and the Tibetan Master #ymbol as the Dumo to a!oid confusion. Diane #tein$ in her book =ssential Reiki stated that many modern teachers feel that the Traditional Dai Ko Myo #ymbol is more in tune with the older time$ whereas the nontraditional #ymbol flows more closely to the !ibrations of today)s world and teaching needs. #omething for e!eryone$ I suppose. #ome people prefer the Traditional "sui$ and others prefer the "sui'Tibetan. If you feel drawn to use one o!er the other$ then do so. #ome see the Dumo as the -oddess #piral. 3oincidentally enough$ many of these are people in!ol!ed with Wicca and other -oddess Religions. I do not belie!e that is the intent of this symbol and it is not a Wiccan based goddess spiral. 8/lthough Diane #tein draws hers that way.9 The Dumo is though to unify the body and mind. It is reported to work with fire in the base chakra by "< igniting the #acred flame 8i.e.$ the Kundalini energy9. It is belie!ed to pull negati!e energy and disease from the body and mind. The Dumo represents the flow of the fire of the Kundalini. This Kundalini energy goes up the spine when the Kundalini awakens as body and mind come together. This produces a heat and hence the description of the energy as a kind of fire. Kundalini awakening is a discipline unto itself and something ne!er lightly undertaken. :ire ragon/ :ire Ser#ent or %in 2i= >ida The &ire #erpent is thought to open the 3hakra system. This allows the Reiki .ealing energy to flow into the person recei!ing the attunement or healing. Typically$ it would be drawn down the back of the person recei!ing at the beginning of an attunement of a healing session. Raku Raku is used in passing attunements$ but generally not in indi!idual healings. I ha!e seen some authors state that Raku helps to lift negati!e Karma$ and brings the student to higher le!els of consciousness during an attunement. It is used at the end of an attunement to separate the auras and energies of the master and the student. PART II The 7ui ?in and the &iolet @reath The .ui 0in and 1iolet 2reath are generally not considered Traditional Techni,ues. 0ou can pass attunements either using them or not. #ome people feel the attunements feel more powerful when using these techni,ues. This is most likely because the .ui 0in is a chi kung techni,ue called the Microcosmic >rbit. When using this$ your chi becomes part of the mi: while doing an attunement. It is my e:perience that the attunements feel stronger when doing them this way. The 7ui ?in The .ui 0in point is located between the anus and the genitals. To do the techni,ue$ the point is contracted$ and the tongue is placed against the soft palate 8behind the upper teeth. I ha!e seem some Masters speculate that when using the .ui 0in and 1iolet 2reath when passing /ttunements$ a special type of high fre,uency 3hi enters the system and passes through the .ui 0in point$ making this a more powerful process.. #ome masters go so far as to speculate that this point must be held for the entire time you are doing the /ttunements to pre!ent the Ki from escaping from this point. /s with all speculation of this type$ no one really knows what the !eracity of such claims are. /ll I can offer is the "sui did not use this process. If you are going to use the .ui 0in$ you must practice to de!elop the muscular control to hold the point for lengthy periods. To de!elop this muscle$ practice contracting the muscles in this area. (ull gently!!!!!! Do not strain and hurt yourself!!! 0ou can also practice contracting these muscles continuously as you go about your daily acti!ities. /s you continue practicing$ it will become easier and you will be able to hold them for longer periods of time. The &iolet @reath 1isuali?e a White Mist surrounding you. 4e:t$ contract the .ui 0in point and place your tongue behind the upper teeth. 2reath in and imagine a white %ight coming down through the crown 3hakra$ through the tongue$ down the front of the body 8&unctional channel9$ through the .ui 0in point and up the spine 8-o!erning channel9$ to the center of the head. Imagine the white mist filling the head. 8This is commonly referred to as the Microcosmic orbit9. 4ow$ !isuali?e the white Mist turn blue$ then indigo blue and begin rotating clockwise. /s the Mist rotates see it turn to 1iolet. In the 1iolet %ight'Mist !isuali?e the Dumo 8see it as golden9. During the attunement$ blow the Dumo #ymbol and 1iolet breath into the studentMs crown 3hakra and imagine the #ymbol mo!ing into the base of the brain as you say the name of the symbol in your mind. PART III - The Attunement There are many attunement methods. I personally ha!e in my possession o!er a do?en "sui attunements$ at least four traditional attunements 8all different9$ "sui'Tibetan attunements$ Tibetan'"sui attunements$ #hort forms$ and others. What follows is an attunement set from the Tibetan tradition using the four "sui #ymbols and the Dumo$ &ire #erpent and Raku. It uses a standard form for all three le!els. This is offered here for your re!iew. /s in all things$ use the attunement that resonates best with you. #ome people are not comfortable using attunements other than from their Reiki tradition and lineage$ and that is fine. My lineage is so con!oluted$ that I would be hard pressed to pick one that is more important than all the others. If you ha!e not yet picked it up$ I am one of those attunement ;unkies who really really likes recei!ing attunements. I ha!e had a lot of them. / real lot and in a lot of different traditions. Reiki Tibetan/Usui Attunement This attunement process that I de!eloped. It was originally from the Tibetan'"sui Tradition but felt incomplete to me as it did not place the symbols in the heart but only the 3rown$ Third+eye$ and palm chakras. It is used for all three le!els. The modifications for le!el II and le!el III are in parenthesis. 2eginning 2egin by saying a prayer of intent$ either silent or out loud. /sk for the help of the Reiki #ource to do a perfect attunement for this person. If you ha!e spirit guides$ reiki guides$ /ngels$ /scended Masters$ etc.$ you can ask them to assist that this be a perfect attunement for this persons highest good.

Draw the Raku in the air in front of the student. #ay$ the attunement is complete. 3urrent Issues In The Reiki 3ommunity #ome of you may wonder why I am addressing Issues of reiki. This is because there is much going on in the Reiki world today. Reiki is e:panding$ growing$ and de!eloping. In any endea!or$ there are always growing pains. #ome of these issues are contentious$ but they summari?e what is going on in the Reiki 3ommunity at large. RAI!I ALLIA%3A - 2RA%MASTAR/LI%AA2A @AARAR The Reiki /lliance was formed in 5HGB after Mrs. Takata died. /t that time there were BB Masters Takata had trained in the western world. &rom what they knew$ Reiki was not practiced in ;apan after the death of Mr. .ayashi and World War II. They belie!ed themsel!es the last masters in the world. The group met$ and Mrs. (hyllis &urumoto$ Mrs. Takata)s -randdaughter emerged as the leader of the group. Mrs. 2arbara Weber Ray$ another of Takata)s masters$ did not attend. 8#he stated that Takata had re!ealed to her the secret techni,ues and named her successor. #he started a style called Real Reiki and later changed that to the Radiance Techni,ue9 When Mrs. Takata died$ she named no successor. (hyllis assumed that role$ at the urging of the other masters$ following in the footsteps of her grandmother. >!er the years$ (hyllis has mo!ed from leading the Reiki /lliance to claiming to be the %ineage 2earer$ holding the spiritual lineage$ and -randMaster of Reiki. Takata did not name a successor$ nor was she referred to as the lineage bearer or grandmaster 8she did not refer to herself in this manner9. It is my opinion that Takata did not name a successor because one was not needed. That itself was the message. It is also my opinion that (hyllis is certainly the head of the /lliance$ but not more than that. It is hard for her to substantiate the claim of lineage bearer$ when we know conclusi!ely that 3hu7iro .ayashi was not "sui)s chosen successor. It now seems that Mr. .ayashi was not e!er a member or the -akkai 8"sui)s Reiki Ryoho organi?ation in ;apan9. The "sui #hiki Reiki Ryoho -akkai has had fi!e presidents of the society since "sui)s death$ none of whom were Mr. .ayashi. This is not to down play Mr. .ayashi)s great contributions to Reiki who almost certainly de!eloped the hand positions in use in the West today as well as the attunements$ but 3hu7iro .ayashi was a well respected disciple of Dr. "sui$ not the lineage bearer. The Reiki /lliance has a number of core beliefs and practices that they follow for pricing$ content of courses$ and discriminatory guidelines for who can be taught the master le!el and under what circumstances. Their current pricing is N5D6.66 "# for %e!el I$ ND66.66 "# for %e!el II$ and N56$666.66 "# for Master'Teacher %e!el. There are generally no scholarships or lowered rates for Reiki III or any other degree are offered$ nor are any payment plans allowed. The Master student is also re,uired to apprentice with the Master for a period of at least one year$ and once he or she begins to teach$ it must be under the Master)s super!ision$ who recei!es all class fees. / new master must apprentice with their Teacher for one year. They must not make any new masters for three years. /dditionally$ they un,uestionably acknowledge Mrs. Takata$ and (hyllis &urumoto as the -rand Master of Reiki. They follow the practices of Mrs. Takata dogmatically$ and the price for mastership is N56$666. The N56$666 price was used by Mrs. Takata to ensure that only those most committed to Reiki would achie!e the master le!el. I ha!e heard it stated that Mrs. Takata belie!ed that the people in the West did "$ not appreciate what they recei!e free. .owe!er$ it is important to note here that Takata did not always charge for training or treatments. In the traditional "sui .istory$ "sui healed beggars in the slums in Tokyo who reportedly came back time and again. They did not appreciate their healing and thus he !owed ne!er to gi!e it away free again. This story is used as part of a 7ustification of ha!ing others pay$ and pay dearly for learning. What now appears to be the case with this story$ is that "sui did in reality work with those in Tokyo$ following the earth,uake there and he offered healing to many$ which spread the knowledge of Reiki throughout ;apan and enhanced greatly his reputation as a healer. This would tend to take away the emphesis about money in the traditional story$ as well as the emphesis on e:changes. The irony is that Mrs. Takata told this story to illustrate that some people hold on to their illness and that some people refuse to change. /nother issue to be addressed is the idea of e:changes or energy e:changes. This is a new age concept added in post Takata. This was ne!er a part of "sui Reiki. The idea behind the energy e:change$ is that when you recei!e Reiki$ it is a great gift and thus there must be some energy e:change in order to satisfy "ni!ersal %aw. /long with this reasoning is that to those in the West$ money is what is truly !alued and thus it must be a great sum of money 8i.e.$ N56$6669. This to me seems a 7ustification to charge a high fee. It is my opinion that this philosophy of energy e:changes unnecessary I find the idea of energy e:changes and the philosophy behind them somewhat odd. The uni!erse maintains it)s own balance$ it is ego that leads us to think that we ha!e such importance in the cosmic scheme of things that we must balance things. In looking at the teachings of ;esus$ or 2uddha$ we do not see the idea that e:changes must be done to repay acts of kindness that we do. ;esus tells us that if someone takes our shirt to gi!e our cloak as well$ not if they take our cloak to make sure we get their shoes...... /ny act of kindness effects many many people$ far beyond our ability to see or know. Who is to say that something I do today will not effect many others through that person. /re energy e:changes met and satisfied thenI I offer this ca!eat$ do whate!er you do with no strings attached$ no e:pectations on the beha!ior of the other and you will ne!er go wrong. #urely if =nergy =:changes were so important to the balance$ then at least one of the great spiritual leaders would ha!e mentioned it....... TRAITI6%AL and %6% TRAITI6%AL The problem here is myriad. &irst$ what is a Traditional Reiki (ractitionerI Would that be the group calling themsel!es Traditional ;apanese ReikiI$ or the Reiki /lliance Members (ractices$ or the (ractices of the "sui Reiki Ryoho -akkai in ;apanI It seems that all belie!e they practice Traditional Reiki. &or the purposes of this discussion what is generally referred to as Traditional Reiki is that of the "sui+.ayashi+ Takata lineage. #ome traditionalists do not acknowledge training from non+traditional schools. 4on+Traditional generally refers to the practices added on and the other Reiki)s. #tyles such as "sui'Tibetan Reiki$ Karuna ReikiJ$ Tera Mai ReikiJ$ %ightarian Reiki J$ /ngelic RayKey$ are e:amples of different styles. Techni,ues such as distant attunements$ other symbols$ the .ui 0in$ 1iolet breath$ reiki guides$ seeing auras$ psychic powers$ dolphin breathing$ /ntahkarana symbols$ angels and others are considered non traditional techni,ues. Many of these styles and techni,ues are wonderful additions for a healer to ha!e in their arsenal of effecti!e healing modalities. It is important to know that they were not a part of traditional reiki$ that way people can make better and more informed decisions. Recently in the Western World$ we ha!e been lucky that &rank (etter and .iroshi Doi ha!e been releasing material from ;apan. What is becoming apparent is that in the west we ha!e mo!ed far from the original practice and intent of the system. That does not negate the wonderful healing and de!elopments in the west$ but it does highlight that the original system was an system that de!eloped inner peace$ and led to enlightenment. In the west there is only the healing$ with the acknowledgement that it is a spiritual art. The effect of this !acuum is that many ha!e tried to fill in the gaps with e!ery possible new age practice including crystals$ ancient ci!ili?ations such as Tibetan$ /tlantean$ %emurian$ hypnosis$ space aliens$ crop circles$ and so many others that I cannot keep up with them all. B7AT IS A MASTAR This is an area that brings heated arguments. / Reiki ;oke.... What do you call one Reiki Master aloneI /nswer* / .ealer. What do you call two Reiki Masters togetherI /nswer* /n /rgument! / Reiki Master is a person that has learned the "sui #ystem of 4atural .ealing. It is someone that knows all the symbols$ attunements$ and has been trained specifically in passing the symbols$ training and attunements to others. 4othing more or less than that. (eriod. / Reiki Master is not a guru$ a spiritual leader$ enlightened master$ or anything else. 8/lthough some are!9 The arguments regarding the title Reiki Master seem to center around this central point. There is a group that is decidedly uncomfortable in the term Master. (erhaps that term was a poor translation of the ;apanese word #ensei and teacher would ha!e been a better word. >thers see the proliferation of Reiki Masters as something not to be desired and something that cheapens their accomplishments. &or those that paid dearly for the training and spent years apprenticing$ they feel that those that learn less e:pensi!ely or do not intern as being less than masters. 8It is interesting to note that this e:act problem is going on in the academic world. Those with (h.D)s are seeing their prestige and ability to charge higher sums de!alued by the glut of (h.D.)s out there. There is e!en talk of instituting a new degree e!en higher than a (h.D. I ha!e heard the term 3hancellor thrown about. If nothing else it is an interesting parallel.9 In "sui)s Reiki Ryoho$ the le!el of energy that you could channel was important. Reiki Ryoho used two different scales. >ne was a scale from E to 5 8one being highest9 indicating the energy le!el of the person. The other scale indicated the le!el of teaching you ha!e recei!ed and is the closest to the le!els in the west. "sui placed himself at energy le!el B. .e did not claim to be le!el I to moti!ate his students to work hard. (ractices such as -assho 2reathing and .atsurei ho were taught by "sui to strengthen the reiki channel$ and build up one)s internal chi. These were empowering techni,ues that slowly o!er time strengthened you. :AA STRU3TURAS 3urrent &ees for practice and training !ary considerably. #ome Masters feel they should charge only for their time$ as Reiki 8the energy9 is free. /lliance members charge set fees for training. These days$ the current fees for non+/lliance members !ary greatly. The a!erage would be about N5D6 for le!el I$ NC66 for le!el II$ and NG66 for le!el III. In terms of treatments$ a fair guide as to what to charge is whate!er a massage would cost. In terms of training$ that is entirely up to you. /s a libertarian$ I belie!e things are worth whate!er people are willing to pay for them. %ibertarian leanings aside$ you can base your fees on what is usual and customary in the area$ or charge what you think is fair. Tied up in all this is can be your sense of self worth and the idea of the "( !alue of your time and commitment. TRAAMAR! / LABS In 5HHF$ (hyllis &urumoto and the Reiki /lliance attempted to Trademark the words Reiki$ and "sui #hiki Ryoho. Their rationale was that others were adding things on to traditional "sui Reiki$ as they defined it$ and they wanted to make sure the public knew the difference and a trade mark would allow them to be able to determine what was "sui #hiki Ryoho. >thers in the Reiki 3ommunity 8the !ast ma7ority of practitioners and masters are 4>T alliance members9 felt this was a usurpation of their ability to use the word Reiki$ and an attempt to control the practice of Reiki. There was a lot of bad blood in the community following this act. #ome e:pressed the attitude that the /lliance saw their power base and control slipping through others offering reduced rate Masterships. The /lliance$ for its part$ did not help the situation by ha!ing statements on Mrs. &urumoto)s website 8http*''www.furumoto.org'9 in letters that masters charging less than N56$666 were creating a deficit economy and implying that charging less than the full 56$666 would result in incomplete energy and less than perfect attunements. /lthough the trademark attempt failed because the word Reiki had been in the public domain for o!er D6 years in this country$ the ill will that the attempt generated continues to this day. #e!eral groups ha!e attempted to pass laws regulating the practice of Reiki in se!eral states. The most current attempts were in Te:as$ 4ew 0ork and &lorida. In Te:as$ the legislation was crafted so that only members of the Reiki /lliance and Reiki Touch 8and those trained by /lliance masters9 could be considered Reiki Masters under law. It also set specific fees for training 856$666 dollars for the Master le!el9 and se!ere penalties for !iolating the law. /s of this writing it was fiercely opposed and most likely will fail. /lthough the /lliance denied in!ol!ement in the Te:as law$ their name being named on the legislation did nothing to help the already contentious atmosphere in the Reiki 3ommunity. In 4ew 0ork$ the board of Massage therapists$ tried to legislate Reiki under the auspices of the Massage therapy 2oard and %aws. /fter witnessing a demonstration of Reiki$ the board decided that Reiki was not massage and dropped the legislati!e attempt. The most current attempt pending is in &lorida$ where the massage board has usurped the right of Reiki (ractitioners to legally practice. The board has placed Reiki under the auspices of massage law$ e!en thought there is no manipulation of tissue as in massage. The matter will now ha!e to be settled legislati!ely. SPIRITUALIT? Reiki is not a religion. It de!eloped out of some !ery e:citing religious times in ;apan and the world. /t that time many great spiritual people were seeing the great light. Mokichi >kada$ the founder of ;ohrei 8Meishu+ #ama9 de!eloped the religion ;ohrei 8also the name of their -od9. ;ohrei is both a religion and a practice of channeling the -reat %ight of -od. ;ohrei is similar in application to Reiki$ although philosophically !ery different. /lthough ;ohrei can heal$ its purpose is to bring the light into people and clear away the clouds that formed on their spiritual sel!es that block the light of -od. /ma?ing healing ha!e been recorded as a result of this practice and the ;ohrei &ellowship Worldwide does e:tensi!e medical research on the sub7ect. 2UIAS C A%2ALS C PS?37I3 A@ILITIAS CADPA3TATI6%S In many of the Reiki books a!ailable today$ there is talk about meeting your Reiki -uides$ seeing auras and angels$ increases in your psychic abilities and a whole host of others abilities that the author states followed an attunement. Indeed$ some people do e:perience these things. .owe!er it needs to be pointed out that none of these things were in the original system by "sui. "sui was a contemporary of Morihei Tanaka. Tanaka created a healing art that used spirits in healing called Dai Rei ;itsu. #ince we know that Tanaka had these practices$ in Reiki they are conspicuous by there absense. >ne can only conclude that since "sui knew Tanaka and his practices that they are absent from Reiki because they are not part of the system. / story .awayo Takata tells that once she began to de!elop psychic abilities after practicing Reiki for a time. #he asked .ayashi about it when he !isited her in .awaii. .e asked her$ Do you want to be a psychic or do you want to practice ReikiI. #he chose the Reiki. It is my opinion that many authors do Reiki and the public a great disser!ice in telling them to e:pect all sorts of fireworks$ bells and whistles following an attunement. (eople e:perience guides$ angels$ and psychic abilities$ when they are R=/D0 to recei!e them. ;ust as an attunement will not make me a championship caliber baseball player$ it will also not make me psychic. Reiki /ttunements and practicing Reiki help to open us up spiritually and are a wonderful connection to the source of all. Do not promise people what you cannot deli!er. In the end it will harm your reputation as a healer and damage the credibility of Reiki itself. Mudras in Reiki and 7ealing >n these (ages you will find information on Mudras and some of the Raku Kai Mudras. #ome of you might be wondering why I am choosing to include these Mudras here on a site about Reiki. The answer to that is both simple and comple:. / short while back$ I learned that there were Mudras used in Raku Kai Reiki. 0ou can !iew these by clicking this link. There are also mudras used in Karuna Ki. To 1iew these$ click the link below. Raku Kai Reiki Mudras Karuna Ki Mudras 8for .ealing and #trengthening the channel9 In my martial arts training$ I had seen these hand positions and been taught them some 5F years pre!iously. When I was taught them$ it was not necessarily in the conte:t of healing$ but in the conte:t of inner culti!ation and energy work and de!elopment. >nce I learned that they were part of Raku Kai Reiki$ I began to ree!aluate my knowledge of these positions and to apply them in healing as they were used in Raku Kai Reiki. >f particular interest to me was that the first four hand positions 8Rin$ Kyo$ Toh$ #ha9 seemed to ha!e the same meanings as the four traditional Reiki #ymbols and I ha!e speculated that their might be some connection. These three hand positions used in Raku Kai Reiki are part of a larger set known as the Ku7i+in or 4ine .ands 3utting$ or 3utting the 4ine Ideographs. They were also referred to as the #hu7i #huriken. They were used to de!elop your mental abilities$ your ability to control and use energy$ and to increase one)s Ki$ and for protection. These Mudras are seen not only in ;apan$ but also in 3hinese Taoist practices and .indu and Tibetan Tantra. In ;apan$ the practice of cutting the nine ideographs was taken up by yin+yang practitioners$ some 2uddhists$ #amurai$ and nin7a. #ome swordsmen and nin7a performed it in the morning after arising or before combat or engaging and enemy. =ach Mudra was performed with meditation$ breathing and in in!ocation'mantra. The mantras are included with the information on the .and (ositions. The entire set of made up of nine cuts. / grid was sometimes made called the ;umon$ that was made up of a H : H grid. ") The entire set was sometimes called the ;umon 1ow The !ow was the mantras Rin$ Kyo$ Toh$ #ha$ Kai$ ;in$ Retsu$ <ai$ <en. In the <ai section there is a discussion of how all these fit together to form a complete pattern and path to enlightenment. The links below will take you to the pages with pictures of the Ku7i Kiri. Included are the mantras that are spoken when using the position as well as two !iews of the picture. It is important to state here that it is imperati!e that the mental focus be correct. This is more important than ha!ing e:act finger positions. That being said$ the hand positions line up and direct the energy in the body. The hands represent a microcosm of the elemental relationship of the uni!erse. The meridians terminate in the hands and taking the Mudras helps a practitioner to direct the flow of energy in the body along these channels. =ach cut represents one of the 4ine le!els of power. 0our understanding of this will change with time and practice. This is something that is learned by doing and the significance of each will increase with time and effort. !uEi-kiri8 The %ine 3uts Rin + #trength Kyo + Direction of =nergy Toh + .armony #ha + .ealing Kai O (remonition ;in+ Knowing the thoughts of others PWay of the Mind -ateQ Retsu + Mastery of Time and #pace <ai + 3ontrol PThousand (etal %otusQ <en + =nlightenment It is easiest to learn these once at a time. In practice and application they are done one after the other$ acti!ating each channel and energy. The practice of doing this is best done with meditation and contemplating the meaning of each cut indi!idually. The meaning of each will !ary with each student)s understanding and time spent using the cut. With practice and insight$ and a pure heart the meaning will deepen and increase o!er time. Its applications will also become more apparent. To get the most benefit from these acti!ities$ using breathing techni,ues and meditation is necessary. This will be added shortly. When using the Mudra$ focus on where you feel the pulse in the hands. Raku !ei Reiki Mudras These are the Raku Kai Mudras. The origin is suspected to be from /urthur Robertson. Included is the Mudra$ a brief description and the name as it would by used from other sources. !anEi Position F" - S7A (osition R5 is the fingers interlaced with the two inde: fingers e:tended and placed together. 3oncentrate on the point where you feel the pulse$ usually where the finger tips touch. 4ote the position of the thumbs$ they are not crossed. This was used for spiritual healing. It was also used to cause distant healing. It was taught that this was done before any type of Reiki healing session. It was thought to bring spiritual energy into the channels in the body. This position is called #./ in other systems. It is used to balance the energy in the body$ and de!elop the hea!enly chi and spiritual power. It was used to heal self and others. This was done in con7unction with a meditation that focused on seeing the bodily fire and connecting to the fire of the uni!erse. This would seem analogous to the Reiki Dai Ko Mio symbol in application of bringing in the spiritual light and healing. !anEi Position F$ - RI% (osition RB is the fingers interlaced with the two middle fingers e:tended and tips touching. 4ote the position of the thumbs which are crossed. This was used to increase the efficacy of a hands on healing session.and to promote balance. It was thought to help connect to the power and energy and allow it to flow more readily in the channels. This position is called RI4 in other systems. Rin is to help connect to the power or energy of the uni!erse 8cosmic energy9 and increase the power in the body. It is interesting that in Raku Kai that this position was chosen for this. It would seemingly be analogous to the intent of the 3ho Ku Rei symbol in function. !anEi Position F( - 1I% (osition RC is the fingers folded inward and all interconnecting. The thumbs cross and also are inward to the palm. It was described in Raku Kai as bringing knowing. It facilitates a connection to the subconscious mind of the client and helps correct imbalances in the client. This position is called ;I4 in other systems. It was thought to help you Know the thoughts of others. It increased the empathic abilities and increased the ability to feel the thoughts of others. /t the highest le!el one could sense others thoughts and feelings as well as hide your own thoughts$ feeling and intent. It is unclear why this would ha!e been included in Raku Kai as there is no similarity to any of the Reiki #ymbols or practices. Karuna Ki Mudras There are two mudras used in Karuna Ki. Kai is used for de!eloping intuition in treating. #ha is used to de!elop and strengthen the Karuna Ki 3hannel and bring about health$ clarity of mind and purpose$ and the culti!ation of compassion. &aruna &i 0editation to develo/ and stren!then the Channel usin! the 1ha 0udra Sha Mudra and 7ealing Meditation This is a meditation using the #ha Mudra to help de!elop and strengthen the Karuna Ki 3hannel. This is taught to all Karuna Ki #tudents and they are strongly ecouraged to practice this daily. 3onsistent practice clears and focuses the mind and helps one to culti!ate compassion toward all beings. This Mudra is called #ha in ;apanese. It is also used in Taoism$ some Tibetan arts$ and in 4in7utsu. #ha is used for .ealing of #elf and >thers$ and ro de!elop and strengthen the inner channel+. It was said that those that mastered the Inner connections using #ha would de!elop an inner power and would no longer succumb to !iruses and other afflictions. In this mudra the inde: fingers and thumbs are e:tended while the other fingers are interlocked. "sing #ha is an e:cellent mudra to use when meditating. When doing any of the Karuna Ki Meditations you can use the #ha Mudra as you meditate. /dditionally$ it can be used when doing healings. 2efore you actually begin doing the healing$ place the hands in #ha$ connect to the Karuna Ki energy$ focus on the compassion of the source and let the energy flow into the hands. Then separate the palms and begin healing. #ha is used for healing self and others. "sing this Mudra in the meditation below helps to increase within us health$ !itality and healing strength. The following e:ercise can help to fully de!elop the use of #ha. To do this$ first place your hands in the #ha Mudra. This acti!ity helps link the pathways within the body. 2y forming the #ha Mudra with the hands the appropriate pathways of energy are linked within the body. This ". brings health and knowing. The acti!ity helps increase your inner strength$ e:pands your channel$ e:pand the mind and the ability to sense self and others and to remo!e fear. 2reathe in through the nose and out of the nose. =mpty your mind by focusing only on the breathing. If that is difficult$ count slowly to se!en on the inhalation and to se!en on the e:halation. If other thoughts arise$ pay them no mind and let them slip away. &ocus within and on the flow of energy within the body and on the spirit. Deep within us burns a &ire$ behind the hara and it is the area of (ersonal 3hi. This meditation replenishes our personal chi with the compassionate lo!ing energy of Karuna Ki 8or Reiki$ etc.9 and strengthens us$ reduces stress and an:iety$ and increases our ability to channel the energy. &ocus on the .ara$ or slightly behind it. #ome people see or !isuali?e this as see it as a ball of light$ fire or heat. 1isuali?e the ball of fire deep within you$ behind the .ara. 3onnect to Karuna Ki or Reiki energy. This acti!ity is to focus on the fire and to make it burn brighter and warmer and to increase its radiance throughout the body. /s you breathe in the breath$ the lo!ing light energy 8"se Reiki or Karuna Ki9 comes in energy comes in through the crown 8top of head9. #ee the energy mo!e down to behind the .ara area and see if fill the area making the light there grow$ and brighten. 0ou will feel energi?ed. When you feel energi?ed and filled$ allow the energy to e:pand outwards and through your body spreading e!er outward further and further to the top of the head$ the tips of the toes and the tips of the fingers. #ee it spread through all the organs. &ocus on the Mudra$ and hold it between the sternum and the hara. 2reath in through the hands and into the hara$ and on the e:hale from the hara out through the hands. Do this for 56 minutes or so. When done$ focus the mind back on the .ara. /llow your consciousness to return to normal. #tand$ and shake the hands three times$ and then the feet three times. >nce you master this breathing techni,ue$ you can do this acti!ity any time by using the mudra and 7ust concentrating on breathing and increasing the light. Done regularly it strengthens the body and mind$ and increases the !itality of the body. %ike with Karuna Ki or Reiki$ you will notice that the hands will be !ery hot when doing this and after. This can be done with any of the other Ku7i+in hand positions. The Third 3ut - Toh
Mantra + 6% 1I RA TA RA S7I I TA RA 1I @A RA TA %6-6 S6 BA !A Toh means .armony with the "ni!erse. .armony with the "ni!erse is with the "ni!erse all around us. It can be be peace with all beings or peace and harmony within oneself. It is an appreciation of all life. It is being free of fear. With Toh we connect to the patterns of the uni!erse and see in totality. Toh may be used with the Sei 7ei !i or .armony symbol. It can be used in meditations with the #ei .ei Ki or prior to using the symbol in treatment. Toh is formed by connecting the fourth fingers on both hands and the fifth fingers on both hands making a !. The thumbs are e:tended$ and the remaining fingers interlock. The :ourth 3ut - Sha Mantra - 6% 7A ?A @AI S7IRA MA TA ?A S6 BA !A #ha is .ealing. It is the healing of self and others. With #ha you connect to the inner uni!erse. 3onsistent use of #ha helps de!elop an inner peace with in yourself. It is a lo!ing relationship to the physical body. This position is called #./ in other systems. It is used to balance the energy in the body$ and de!elop the hea!enly chi and spiritual power. It was used to heal self and others. This was done in con7unction with a meditation that focused on seeing the bodily fire and connecting to the fire of the uni!erse. When you sense your inner power you will no longer sucumb to !iruses and other ailments. With #ha you ha!e the ability to heal yourself and others by directing the energy. This would seem analogous to the Reiki Dai Ko Mio symbol in application of bringing in the spiritual light and healing. #ha is formed by e:tending the inde: fingers with the tips touching. The thumbs are e:tended and the remaining fingers are interlocked. &ocus on where you feel the pulse. The source of #ha is in the solar ple:us. This is the R5 hand position in Raku Kai Reiki. Scanning and Mudras Karuna Ki uses two different scanning methods to determine areas needing treatment$ hand scanning and the Karuna Ki #canning Method. 7and Scanning + This is the traditional #canning techni,ue taught in Karuna$ and other #ystems. #canning is placing your hands into the energy or auric field of another to try to discern differences in their energy field. 0ou are essentially looking for anything different. Try to feel for hot spots$ cold spots$ tingling sensations$ obstructions. #tart at the head and work to the feet and then back up. 2egin with the hands about B inches 8A.D centimeters9 abo!e the person)s body. /fter the first pass$ increase the distance to about E inches 85A centimeters9. #canning is something that re,uires a great deal of practice to become proficient at. 8Remember$ you do not diagnose since that is illegal to do in most places without a medical license!9 This is a tool to aid in treating. Make a mental note of the areas that feel different. /sk your client if there is any specific illness associated with the area. This process is done to find areas that need additional treatment. This also is done to guide hand placement which is more intuiti!e in Karuna Ki. !aruna !i Scanning Method + This is the scanning method de!eloped by 1ince /mador for Karuna Ki. It incorporates a hand position or Mudra and uses the third eye to help de!elop the intuition to find areas that need treating. The abo!e Mudra is called Kai in ;apanese. It is also used in some Tibetan arts$ Taoist practices and in 4in7utsu. Kai is used for breaking the bonds of passions and desires$ the premonition of danger$ sensing energy around you$ and inner knowing. It was said that the Taoist master that achie!ed Kai would know what can not be known. It is only when our minds are clear and we ha!e stilled our thoughts that we can sense clearly all around us. Kai is an acti!ation of the psychic sense which allows us to see beyond sight. In this mudra the fingers are all interlocked. "4 The Mantra for Kai is >4 4>+> M/ K" #/4 M/4 D/ 2/ #/ R/ D/4 K/4 . To use Kai in scanning first place your hands into the Kai mudra$ close your eyes$ rela: for a moment and take se!eral deep breaths. &ocus on the "ltimate #ource of 3ompassion that is Karuna Ki. 2reath in the energy into hands and then into the .ara. %et the e:pand through the body. 4e:t$ direct the energy into the hands. Do this by breathing in the energy into the .ara and then e:hale the energy out through the hands$ radiating the compassionate energy outward around you. When the hands are filled with the energy$ bring the connected hands up to the le!el of the third eye and place the knuckles of the thumb against the third eye. &ocus the energy on the third eye. 3ontinue to breath through the hands. 1isuali?e the <onar$ then the -nosa symbol$ and then any other of the Karuna Ki #ymbols that you may intuit. /llow any sensations to be seen or felt. 0ou will feel the sensation of the third eye acti!e. It will feel like a tingling in the center of the forehead or a pressure behind the forehead. When you are ready$ begin separate the hands and begin scanning with the palms as described abo!e in the hand scanning section. 3ontinue to focus on the third eye area. Impressions are seen but not so much seen with the eyes as they are felt or e:perienced. This method also helps de!elop the third eye area and intuition in all areas of your life$ as well as to focus on the compassionate source of the Karuna Ki energy. This helps us stay focused in compassion toward all. istant Scanning Method + This method incorporates both .and #canning$ Karuna Ki #canning$ and Distant Work. &ocus on the person to be scanned by distance. If you ha!e a picture$ letter$ or other thing from them that might help you facilitate the energetic connection then that can be used. Do the Karuna Ki #canning hand techni,ue and third eye connection described abo!e. Then place your palms outward as if toward the person. /llow your hands to sense the person and their energy field. This seems odd$ but the sense of it will generally be felt. Mo!e your hands$ or !isuali?e seeing the field and then note how it feels to you.

This manual and information is for Karuna Ki Masters$ (ractitioners and students. If you ha!e not had some "sui Reiki Training$ this information will be of little use to you or make little sense. This Manual is here for my students$ and those interested in learning or participating in Karuna Ki. !aruna !i Introduction and Overview Karuna Ki is an art that I de!eloped from my practices with Karuna and the Karuna #ymbols. Karuna Ki is the Way of 3ompassionate =nergy and a .ealing and Meditati!e practice using the Karuna Ki energy and symbols to be the Di!ine .eart of 3ompassion. The .istory of Karuna Ki tries to be balanced in its understanding of how the Karuna arts came to be$ and tries to gi!e due credit to those who in!ested time and effort in its de!elopment. Karuna Ki represents my de!elopment and practice with the Karuna$ the symbols$ Karuna Ki Do meditations and other practices. Karuna Ki shares the symbols and early de!elopment with Karuna ReikiS$ and Tera MaiT Reiki. Karuna Ki has new attunements and Karuna Ki Do meditations$ and is a new de!elopment apart from either Karuna ReikiS and Tera MaiT Reiki. The basic principle of Karuna Ki is the connection to 8and becoming9 the embodiment of compassion both for healing self and others$ and to send healing and compassion to all creation. The attunement and subse,uent meditations link us to the compassion of -od 8which we all already are and ha!e!9$ and it is through this power that we heal. During the healing we stri!e to reflect compassion and lo!e not only to those we heal$ but to all creation. &or those uncomfortable with the use of -od$ this principle is reflected wonderfully in the 2uddhist -oddess of 3ompassion$ Kuan 0in 8Kannon in ;apanese9. This is a heart centered compassion and a heart centered healing. It is sharing in the compassion of -od$ or the compassion of Kuan 0in for all the uni!erse. It is only in this perfect lo!e that one is truly healed. Similarities and i''erences to other !aruna Arts and Systems Karuna Ki e!ol!ed from other Karuna arts. #imilarities include that it shares the #ymbols <onar$ .alu$ .arth$ Rama$ -nosa$ Kriya$ #hanty$ Ia!a$ >m$ &ire #erpent$ and the Tibetan Master #ymbol. Karuna ReikiS uses a process of A attunements. In reality there are only B attunements. There is a Karuna I and a Karuna II attunement. When learning Karuna (ractitioner %e!el I$ you recei!e the first of the two attunements. When you learn Karuna (ractitioner %e!el II$ you recei!e the second attunement. When you learn the two master le!els$ you recei!e the same attunements again with the intent that they be master attunements this time. In Tera MaiT Reiki$ there are three attunements. These are %e!el I$ %e!el II$ and Master %e!el. There is also a Water ceremony and a 0od initiation. "9 Karuna Ki is !ery different. It has a two faceted attunement system. &or those who are already Reiki or #eichim Masters$ there is a #ingular Karuna Ki Master /ttunement that attunes you to all the symbols to the Master le!el in one attunement. &or those with less than master energy work$ there is a three le!eled attunement system. The theoretical underpinnings of this are discussed in more depth in the attunement section of this manual. It should be noted that I do not claim anything supernatural or mystic in de!eloping this Karuna Ki system or these attunement processes. They do not come from /scendant Masters$ 3hanneled beings$ from -od or anything else. They come from a human being who studied carefully the process$ how it worked and what was necessary for it to work. These practices de!eloped naturally out of my practices. These days$ there are many claims by some systems being higher fre,uency$ faster healing and better than "sui Reiki. It must be noted that the Karuna Ki #ystem makes none of these claims. Karuna Ki is offered as a healing art and spiritual practice. 4o other claims are made than that. /s the founder of this style of Karuna Ki$ I acknowledge that meditation and practice of any energy system or art has the effect of increasing your capacity to handle energy as well as your own personal !ibration. That includes consistent practice with "sui Reiki or personal meditation. In develo#ing !aruna !i/ I have redesigned and incor#orated ne0 develo#ments in a manner that I #ersonally 'eel resonates better 'or 0ith the Bay o' 3om#assionate Anergy, I have designed ne0 meditations/ develo#ed ne0 uses 'or the symbols/ and designed ne0 attunements, !aruna !i is a uni*ue creation that is se#arate and di''erent 'rom the Sai @aba Reiki and !aruna ReikiS , The !aruna !i System - Trademarks/ Registrations and 3ontrols The Karuna Ki #ystem respects the traditional sanctity of the Teacher and #tudent Relationship$ which has stood the test of time for centuries. It is my belief that the healing and teaching relationship should be an indi!idual relationship free of outside controls$ conflicting loyalties$ and other re,uirements. This is the case with the !ast ma7ority of the Independent "sui Reiki Masters. /s such$ the Karuna Ki system is offered as an alternati!e. The Karuna Ki system is free of trademarks$ registrations$ conflicting loyalties and e:ternal controls. It is a system$ like "sui Reiki$ that is for e!eryone. Teachers of this system are free to add material as they see fit to address the needs of their indi!idual students. This manual is 3opyright by 1incent /mador 5HHH. It is offered for Karuna Ki Teachers to use$ without obligation$ with the e:ception that if it is used in a class as a student manual that it is gi!en in its entirety. Karuna Ki Teachers are always free to use their own materials$ de!elop their own materials$ establish whate!er re,uirements for certification that they wish for their indi!idual students and teach howe!er they choose. Those who are Karuna Masters from other Karuna traditions finding themsel!es disinfranchised due to registration issues are welcome to practice Karuna Ki$ and free to use the name for their practice. It is not trademarked and open to all. The manual is a resource for all to use. It will be updated regularly. Karuna Ki Do Meditations In Karuna Ki Do Meditations$ there are four types of meditations. >f primary importance in the Karuna Ki #ystem is the meditation to strengthen and de!elop the 3hannel. There are also meditations to e:pand the oneness of the lo!ing heart centered compassion and to share it with all the uni!erseL meditations with the symbolsL and Toning in mediitation. The first type of Karuna Ki Meditation$ is an acti!ity that uses a mudra 8hand positon9 and specific breathing to focus on strengthening the healing channel$ increasing the personal chi$ and healing the self. In con7unction with the attunements$ it forms the basis of the system and transmission of the energy. 3onsistent practice clears and focuses the mind and helps one to culti!ate compassion toward all beings. The second type is to meditate on the 3ompassionate energy that is Karuna Ki and to use that to e:pand your awareness. The meditation also allows you to e:pand your compassionate awareness to all the uni!erse. The third type of Karuna Ki Do Meditation is with the symbols. Meditation with the Karuna #ymbols can help to de!elop the connection with the symbols and thus the connection to the 3ompassionate .eart that is the basis of this system. There are many ways to meditate on the symbols. The simplest is to use a meditation that you already use and to draw the symbols before you$ concentrate on the connection to the energy and contemplate the indi!idual meaning of the symbol. The fourth practice in Karuna Ki Do Meditation$ is using Toning. This practice can be used in either of the first type of Karuna Ki Do Meditation$ to change or enhance the effects. #pecific e:ercises are listed below. These are my practices. Trust in yourself and your intuition. =:periement and see if these work for you. 3onsistent practice is the key. To do these Karuna Ki Do Meditations$ use guidelines that anyone doing meditation of any sort might follow. -et yourself into a comfortable position. #itting in a comfortable chair that allows your spine to be erect is good. (lacing your hands on your lap and ha!ing your feet comfortably touch the floor generally works well. Rela:ing the body using some deep breathing$ or muscular rela:ation can sometimes help. /s with all meditation$ if your mind wanders while meditating$ allow the thoughts to slip away$ paying them no mind$ and gently refocus. .a!ing done that$ breathe slow and deep$ shut your eyes and focus on the feeling of lo!e and compassion. #ometimes it helps to allow that sensation to begin in your palms. /llow the Karuna Ki Do to pour into you and intend that it do so. Remember that the feeling of this system is one of total compassion and lo!e in the oneness of all creation. %et your mind stay on this sensation and feeling. 4ow allow the lo!ing and compassionate feel of the #ource to be with you as the energy flows into you. #tay with this feeling for a time and then when you are ready$ you can begin to meditate on the symbols. The Symbols and their Meanings This list is a summary. &or more specific aspects of the symbols refer to the !aruna !i Symbols (age. >onar + <onar helps us to work through and release karma and pain.

Karuna Ki Do Meditation 4umber >ne Developin the !hannel Karuna Ki Do Meditation R5 is done using the #ha Mudra and focuses on strengthening the healing channel$ increasing the personal chi$ and healing the self.

Treatments and .ealing "sing the #ymbols !aruna !i Treatments In Karuna Ki$ there are no specific hand positions as in "sui Reiki. When using Karuna Ki for healing$ a more intuiti!e apporach is used. Techni,ues such as scanning 8sensing for changes in the recipient)s energy field9 are used. /dditionally$ the practitioner of Karuna Ki is encouraged to use their own intuition by placing their hands where they are guided. In a typical treatment using Karuna Ki$ I generally do the first four "sui .ead positions. 4e:t$ I will perform scanning to sense for any changes in the energy field and treat those. %astly$ I will allow myself to place my hands where they are guided to anyplace that might be in need of treatment.

Using the Symbols in Treatments Described here is one possible use of the symbols in healing. There are as many different uses as you can create. 4ecessity and intuition are wonderful teachers. &irst use <onar. <onar is a deep healing symbol that connects to the infinite. It it cleansing. It also can help resol!e issues left undone from relationships$ acti!ities$ situations 8and'or li!esI9. .alu 8like #ei .ei Ki9 helps release and break up negati!e patterns and emotional difficulties and beliefs that keep us from seeing reality as it truly is. .arth is the principle symbol of the Karuna Ki system and is the symbol of lo!ing compassion. "se is and let the compassion that is this energy flow. %o!ing compassion is healing$ restoring balance to energy and emotions. Rama grounds and connects us from the source through to the earth. It is both grounding and clearing. "se #hanty ne:t$ to help release the past$ and to focus on li!ing harmoniously in the moment$ and to release the futures we create for oursel!es. &inally use >m to bring in wholeness into the life of the client$ and to clean$ stabili?e and seal the aura. This is one possible se,uence. /nother possibility is to simply focus on the Karuna Ki energy and let it flow and allow the energy to direct the session. This is the highest le!el of practice. We simply be and allow the energy to flow with intuition as our guide. Toning the Symbols in Treatments The symbol names can be chanted or toned when performing a healing. 1isuali?e the symbol in your mind and write it on your palms. #ee it clearly in gold. Then say the name of the symbol. This is partly an intuiti!e process where you 7ust let it out.

In these cases$ focus on the third eye. #ay the symbol name 8mantra9 in your mind. Think of saying it with such resonance and power that it tra!els to the end of the uni!erse and beyond towards infinity.

Reiki and S#irituality ...#ooner or later you)re going to reali?e$ 7ust as I did$ there)s a difference between knowing the path and walking the path... + Morpheus$ from the mo!ie The Matri: 4o matter what style of Reiki that one practices$ it is almost a truism that all find it to be a spiritual practice. It is commonly said that Reiki integrates with all spiritual practices$ but it is often unclear what e:actly that means. This article will e:plore the idea or spirituality and Reiki by looking at what the system was intended to do and the symbols. Reiki Ryoho Reiki Ryoho or Reiho was the art that "sui practiced. This art continues to be practiced in ;apan$ in an unbroken line since "sui$ in the "sui Reiki Ryoho -akkai. In the past two years$ information has been trickling out of ;apan regarding the practices of the -akkai. These ha!e been turbulent times in the Reiki world in the west as this has had the effect of challenging many people)s beliefs about Reiki. &or some$ it has allowed them to ree!aluate their practices and learn new techni,ues$ while for others it has caused them to dig in their heels and hold more tightly to what they know. Reiho was a simple system. It was primarily a secular enlightenment system that also allowed you to heal. 0ou healed self$ and then others. It comprised of &i!e (rinciples that were the core of the teaching 8&or today only do not anger$ do not worry$ be grateful$ do your spiritual work with appreciation$ be kind to all li!ing things9. %i!ing the principles were paramount for staying in the moment and healing the mind. "sui also included the Waka poetry of the Mei7i =mperor. The poetry was chanted before meditation to help clear the mind and set the intent. There were a number of simple techni,ues to use for self and other healing. .atsurei .o was a meditation techni,ue that strengthened the body and mind as well as helped increase the ability to use the reiki. Rei7u was the empowerment 8attunement9 that was recei!ed weekly in a group .atsurei ho practice that empowered the students to reiki and helped them continue to grow. %astly$ the symbols were added in to aid those that had difficulty connecting directly to the energy.This was the Reiki system. / simple elegant system. %et us now mo!e to e:ploring the spiritual and healing aspects. Anlightenment System It is impossible to fully understand the intent and design of these practices without looking at the time and mindset in which "sui li!ed. In doing so$ we must mo!e past our conditionings$ new age+isms$ and other present day thoughts and ideas so that we a!oid reading history backwards with our present !iews. &irst and foremost$ "sui was un,uestionably 2uddhist. The Teaching story that Mrs. Takata used with "sui as a 3hristian Monk was a story that was used to teach westerners unfamiliar with ;apanese 2uddhist and $) culture the idea that "sui was a seeker in a religious sense. It was an effecti!e teaching tool$ which unfortunately became dogmati?ed. 8 There are ideas that are common to a culture that are unspoken and simply understood. /n e:ample of this is the idea of the /merican Dream + to get ahead. These unspoken parts of the ;apanese cultural mindset are difficult to communicate to those not familiar with the culture and so Mrs. Takata tried to use western ideas to teach reiki principles.9 "sui was a #hingon 2uddhist growing up and became a Tendai 2uddhist later in life. /s such$ there are certain ideas about the world that are part of his system. Reiki e:emplifies the principle of wei wu wei$ doing by not doing. 2y doing nothing$ e!erything is done. Reiki is a simple practice. We place our hands on someone and by doing nothing 8no controlling$ no directing$ 7ust 2=ing9 e!erything is done. The principles teach keeping the now$ and awareness. It takes mindfulness to not anger and not worry. It takes mindfulness to be grateful$ and to be kind to all li!ing things. %ooking at the symbols he chose to place in the system also are keys to this enlightenment system. %et us now e:amine these symbols and the possible implications of them. "nlike the multitude of also ran systems that ha!e de!eloped in the west since the death of Mrs. Takata$ the "sui system had only A symbols$ and it is fairly clear that they were added fairly late in the de!elopment of the system. They seemed to be added in as a tool for those who had trouble connecting to the energy directly. The first symbol is the 3ho Ku Rei$ the so+called power symbol$ also called the &ocus. It says place the power here. It is an edict to do so$ but something much more is implied. It is also an edict to wake up. In the oneness you are and always ha!e been this$ interconnected with all things and one. It is an in!itation to awaken$ to remember by releasing the things that blind us to our true nature. The second symbol is the #ei .ei Ki$ or the so+called mental+emotional symbol. It is the .armony symbol. In the oneness that is 3ho Ku Rei$ #ei .ei Ki heals body mind and spirit. It cleanses and heals by helping us to remo!e the attatchments we ha!e that create our suffering and thus our illness. The third symbol is the .on #ha <e #ho 4en$ often called the distant symbol but also the connection symbol. It is from a 2uddhist 3hant that means Right consciousness is the root of e!erything or / righteous man may correct all thoughts$ or To act in the Reali?ation of /bsolute 2eingness. 2ut what might that mean$ Right consciousnessI This is clearly a 2uddhist idea. Right consciousness is being fully in the moment$ fully in the now. It is acting$ not reacting. This is an important distinction. Reacting is based on our ego$ our conditionings. >ur conditionings are the cause of our suffering and our illness. It is only by letting go and remo!ing our conditionings that we are free to be in the moment$ to respond$ and ultimately to heal. The last symbol is the Dai Ko Mio$ or the so+called mastery symbol. The symbol is the great shining light. The goal is Reiho is to li!e in the great shining light. The pre!ious three symbols are the key$ the last is the reali?ation. (erhaps putting them all together into a sentence might help. We are one with all things$ in this oneness we heal body mind and spirit. In right consciousness we release attatchments and conditionings so we li!e in the moment of the great shining light. The symbols are a tool. They are a roadmap. They are training wheels on a bicycle that are used while needed by remo!ed$ 8like all conditionings9 when no longer needed. Do not mistake the map for the 7ourney$ or the destination. 6ther Issues - %e0 Systems/ AGtra Symbols/ Reiki as a @usiness /fter reading all of this$ there are three ,uestions that you may now be asking* :ou 'ay $e askin!% if Reiki is suh a si'/le syste'% why is it that others have develo/ed so 'any new syste's; :ou 'ay $e askin!% if Reiki is suh a si'/le syste'% why is it that others have added and ontinue to add new sy'$ols; :ou 'ay $e askin!% if Reiki is an enli!hten'ent syste' that allows one to heal self and others% why is it that others have turned it into a $usiness; It would seem$ that people often ha!e an insight into the system after using it consistently for any length of time. #ome might confuse this insight with a new idea regarding Reiki and thus belie!e they ha!e de!eloped a new system. %ikewise$ seeing new symbols is nothing e:traordinary. #acred geometry is older than (ythagoras$ and common to many esoteric and spiritual practices. Most of these symbols ha!e a specific meaning to the person !iewing them and do not constitute a new system. Most of these new systems with e:tra symbols are simply reiki with e:tra symbols despite the claims of the proponents of the systems. #till others ha!e added in techni,ues from other things like space aliens$ ancient ci!ili?ations$ 3elestine (rophesy$ Wicca$ Tibetan practices$ /scended Masters$ etc. While these may ha!e some interest for some$ I am forced to ask a fundamental ,uestion* Remembering that Reiho was a secular enlightenment system that allowed you to heal self and then others$ do these things increase the conditionings that you ha!e or help remo!e themI Remember that symbols were a tool to be used to aid you in connecting to the energy$ and to guide you but ones$ like all conditionings that were to be let go of when no longer needed. Does adding e:tra symbols help or hinder this processI /re we helped by putting in some Tibetan symbols$ or are these simply additional things to help us stay asleepI &or many these days$ Reiki has turned into a business. This idea$ and position is probably most ad!ocated for by William Rand and his website$ The International 3enter for Reiki Training$ has many articles regarding setting up your Reiki (ractice$ etc. >thers continue to de!elop new systems$ %ightarian Reiki$ /scension Reiki$ =ssene Reiki. It is interesting that all claim to be uni!ersal life energy. #ome of them ha!e different techni,ues. In reality$ the systems are indeed different. It would seem that what makes them different is not so much the difference in the energy$ but that ha!ing taken them$ you now ha!e permission to use them differently. They are nothing that you could not ha!e already done$ and nothing that you did not already ha!e.2usinesses thri!e by continually coming up with new product. 4ew symbols$ new techni,ues$ new packaging are all part of this process$ as are the e!er increasing claims of more powerful$ higher !ibrational$ more deeply penetrating$ ascension systems$ and on and on and on. Summary In the final analysis$ nothing can free you from the conditioning that cause your suffering e:cept you. 4o energy system$ no matter how much ascension and enlightenment they promise$ can sa!e you. 4o guru$ no system can sa!e you. /dding to the conditionings that you ha!e with more and more systems$ symbols and techni,ues will not either. "sui handed you a key. / key in the form of D simple principles$ a simple meditation 8.atsurei ho9$ some symbols to guide your understanding$ and a way to share this uni!ersal unconditional lo!e with others. 0ou are an instrument of blessing. In the moment$ you reach out your hands$ place them on another in a gesture of unconditional lo!e$ and by doing nothing$ e!erything is done. There is nothing else that is needed.It is my hope that these words will help clarify and open others to a different way of looking at the system of Reiki that is outside of the 2usiness that it has become. 2lessings to allL 1inny /mador A%G&'(! )&(!*(+ Angelic Seichim was de!eloped by 1inny /mador. #eichim'#K.M is a !ery malleable energy$ and it responds to the conceptual schema that each person uses to access it. The following method is one means of connecting to this $. energy. In this te:t the terms #eichim and #K.M are used interchangably to refer to the energy. Seichim Angelic Attunement This attunement will work with both the #K.M energy and the /rchangels. /rchangels$ like all angels$ are an intelligence$ a power and personification of a specific aspect of god$ and the energy that power represents. /lthough there are a number of /rchangels$ there are se!en /rchangels that stand before the throne of -od. This information is ac,uired from a number of sources. &or e:ample$ Raphael identifies himself as one to Tobias on the road. There are four that are generally agreed upon that all practices and faiths seem to include. These are Raphael$ -abriel$ Michael$ and that most agree upon$ "riel. There is not a lot of /greement o!er the other three. =!ery ma7or faith seems to ha!e their group of archangels including the Islamic$ /ssryian biblical$ 7ewish$ Kabbalist$ dead sea scrolls and -nostic #ources. &rom the /pocrypha$ dead sea scrolls$ and other biblical sources$ there are traditionally se!en who are identified. They are Michael$ -abriel$ Raphael$ "riel$ Ramiel 8;arahmeel9$ Raguel$ and #ariel. In the /pocryphal 2ook of =noch + 3hapter B6$ there are also se!en identified* /nd these are the names of the holy angels who watch. "riel$ one of the holy angels$ who is o!er the world and o!er Tartarus. Raphael$ one of the holy angels$ who is o!er the spirits of men. Raguel$ one of the holy angels who takes !engeance on the world of the luminaries. Michael$ one of the holy angels$ to wit$ he that is set o!er the best part of mankind and o!er chaos. #ara,ael 8#ariel9$ one of the holy angels$ who is set o!er the spirits$ who sin in the spirit. -abriel$ one of the holy angels$ who is o!er (aradise and the serpents and the 3herubim. Remiel$ one of the holy angels$ whom -od set o!er those who rise. In this attunement$ we will be working with #K.M and the /rchangels$ with the F who stand before the throne. =ach of the se!en represent a different aspect of the source and so we will use use them to connect to those aspects of the skhm source. We will be connecting to Michael$ Raphael$ -abriel$ "riel$ ;arahmeel 8Ramiel9$ Raguel$ and #ariel. /dditionally we will be working with Metatron and #hekinah$ as balancing and centering forces. There are three other /rchangels that will be part of this attunement. ;ophiel$ Ra?iel and T?adkiel. We will begin by working with Metatron and #hekinah as the balancing of forces 8masculine'feminine$ yin'yang$ thought'feeling9 as we connect and then we will connect to the source and with with each angel specifically. We will use chakras$ colors$ and attributes'powers as a means to acti!ate that part of the skhm. In'ormation on the Archangels When we begin the attunement$ we will be 7oining with #hekinah and Metatron$ to balance and work with the #K.M energy. "hekinah is the /ngel of "nity and "nconditional %o!e. #he is a female angel who always stays close to humankind$ inspiring mortals to be 7ust and fair$ bringing balance and harmony to our minds and spiritual being. .er name means bride of the %ord and she is charged with redeeming us from e!il and leading us back to -od so that we may be liberated and cleansed in the eternal light. Metatron is the /ngel of Thought. .is name literally means the throne beside the throne of -od. .e is considered one of the most important archangels who led the children out of Israel and also stopped /braham from sacrificing his son$ Isaac. Metatron helps us communicate with -od and brings -od)s presence to us and opens up our hearts in order to better recei!e this guidance. Responsible for super!ising the /kashic Records$ a special archi!e where all our thoughts and deeds are recorded upon a screen of mental essence. Metatron traditionally is the most powerful angel$ the one closest to god. .is counterpart #hekinah$ is the feminine. The Tetragrammaton 8unspeakable name of god in hebrew represented by the letters I.1. 80od .eh 1au .eh9 is a balance of masculine and feminine forces. Metatron and #hekinah are different aspects of the di!ine as it begins to manifest. Thus the di!ine is neither masculine or feminine but a perfect balance of both. The Traditional 5 Archangels Michael + Michael means who is as -od. .e is an angel of The %ast ;udgment. .e is the Weigher of souls who decides where people are sent for eternity* to .ea!en$ or to .ell. .e is often described in wondrous form with armor and swords$ and is known as a dragon+slayer. .e defeated #atan$ the fallen angel$ by the order of -od. Regardless of which ma7or faith)s angelic beings is being followed$ Michael ranks as the highest of the host. .e is the leader of the celestial armies and is the angel who fought #atan during the War and enchained the rebel leader. .e is considered to be of the class of seraphim$ and yet is also head of other ranks within the hierarchy* the ruler of the archangels$ leader of the !irtues$ and head of the principalities in his role as protector of Israel. Michael is considered to be the angel of the burning bush through which -od spoke to Moses$ and has also appeared in the book of Daniel$ where -od states him as being the highest within the angelic ranks. /lthough other angels ha!e been attributed with the title of /ngel of Death$ it is Michael who weighs the souls on 7udgment day$ after his battle once more with the forces of e!il. .e is mentioned as both an angel of destruction and !engeance in the name of -od$ but also as a protector and the angel who kept #atan from claiming the body of Moses after the patriarch)s death. 2y all rights$ Michael can be considered foremost among the angels. Ga$riel + -abriel Rules the Moon$ West$ Water and the 3herubim -abriel means power or hero. -abriel is the go!ernor of =den and the ruler of 3herubim. -abriel is often described as a female angel with a lily in her hand. The lore of the /nnunciation is well+known. -abriel is the angel of resurrection$ mercy$ re!elation$ and death -abriel is often considered as a slightly more bene!olent spirit than her ally Michael.$ /nother notable birth that -abriel presided o!er was that of ;ohn the 2aptist when abriel came to <acharias and told him of his coming son. Within all of the legends of birthing$ -abriel as been accredited as the angel who selects souls from hea!en to be birthed into the material world and spends the nine months as the child is being e!eloped informing the new person of what he or she will need to know on =arth$ only to silence the child before birth by pressing his finger onto the child)s lips$ thus producing the cleft below a person)s nose. 2esides births howe!er$ -abriel is also the angel who came before Daniel and told him of the future as well as the angel responsible for strengthening 3hrist prior to the 3rucifi:ion. &inally$ not being all pregnancies and wisdom$ she is told as the angel who struck down the cities of #odom and -ommorah as well as other places of sin throughout the >ld Testament although she is ne!er named there as such. Raphael + Raphael$ the shining one who heals$ is often shown holding a bottle of medicine. .e is the guardian of the Tree of %ife in =den$ and the angel of the #un. Raphael rules the #un$ the =ast and /ir. /lthough a seraph$ Raphael is also mentioned as being a member of the cherubim$ dominations and $4 powers. .e has been attributed as the chief of !irtues$ although that ranking has also been gi!en to Michael$ and also can be considered head of the guardian angels. .is most notable appearance in scripture is his guiding of young Tobias in the apocryphal book of Tobit where he teaches the lad about medicine and demon e:orcising among other things. /lso in his role as healer$ it is Raphael who eases the pain of /braham after his circumcision$ and healing ;acob)s thigh after ;acob wrestles with another angel. .e is also considered to be a patron of the sciences as well as medicine$ teaching 4oah how to construct the ark before the flood$ and teaching #olomon how to bind demons into sla!e labor when #olomon)s Temple was being built. 'riel - "riel means the fire of -od or the face of -od. .e is seen holding a fiery sword at the gate of =den. .e watches o!er thunder and terror. "riel is identified as both a seraph and a cherub$ "riel is most well known for his role as Regent of the #un in the book of Re!elation where he calls forth the birds of the air to feast upon the fallen. /s one of the most faithful and dedicated members of the host$ "riel was also placed in charge of Tartarus 8another name for .ades9$ warned 4oah of the impending flood 8although Raphael is credited with teaching the building of the ark9$ and attacked Moses for failing to circumcise his son. /ccepted as an archangel by the 3hurch for many centuries$ he was finally remo!ed from the records in FAD 3= as the 3hurch became increasingly concerned with the prominence the public was placing upon angels. "ariel + 8-ods command9 also known as angel of death #ariel works along side of Raguel. #arial is a seraph who is gi!en the role of deciding the fate of angels which stray from -od)s path. .e is also credited as being an angel of knowledge$ and one of the leaders in .ea!en)s armies$ his name being written upon the shields of one of the fighting forces. #ariel is an /ngel of -uidance. .e is responsible for the lot of angels that !iolate -od)s sacred ordinances. #ariel is considered the prince of presence and an angel of healing.

Raguel is one of the principalities. 2esides this !igilance$ Raguel is also mentioned as being an angel of ice and snow$ calling forth other angels during the &inal ;udgment to deal with the unpure. .e is also said to be an angel of earth$ a guardian of the second hea!en and is the one who brought =noch to the hea!ens. )arahmeel 8Remiel9+ Remiel...o!er those who rise. Remiel or ;eremiel 8mercy of -od or whom -od sets up9 %eads souls to 7udgment. /lso angel of true !isions. Remiel is accredited with two tasks. &irst$ he is the angel responsible for true di!ine !isions$ and is said to be the angel to gi!e such a !ision to 2aruch before destroying 2aruch)s enemies$ the armies of #ennacherib. 2eyond that$ he is also the guide for the souls of the faithful$ leading them into .ea!en after Michael weighs them at the last trump. /lthough not mentioned specifically as such$ such a role would lead to the assumption that Ramiel is a power. There are se!eral others that are identified as /rchangels that we will ha!e participate with us in this attunement* Ra*iel 8#ecret of -od9* >ne of the cherubim$ Ra?iel is the gi!er of di!ine mysteries as well as an angel of knowledge. It is he who lead to the writing of the book of =noch and is also the author of the tome from which 4oah learns to build the ark. This is not to be confused with Raphael$ who is the angel to gi!e Ra?iel)s book to 4oah$ but did not write it himself. )ophiel 82eauty of -od9* >ne of the cherubim$ ;ophiel is accredited with being the angel to dri!e /dam and =!e from the -arden of =den after they eat the forbidden fruit. If this is the case$ ;ophiel recei!es also the honor of being the first angel to be mentioned in the 2ible. In such a role$ he is last left guarding the Tree of %ife with a flaming sword to pre!ent the return of man. ;ophiel is the /ngel of =nlightenment.
