LEVEL ONE: The Reiki symbol
Teaching the healing art of Reiki includes the use of various symbols. At one time, these were kept secret and were not allowed to be written down. Times have changed, and the symbols are now accessible to all.
The Reiki symbol translates to "universal life force energy": the top part (the Rei) meaning "universal" and the bottom part (Ki) meaning "life force energy". It is commonly referred to as the place where the spiritual and physical meet.
Level One is also known as First Degree.
How to draw the symbols
Practice writing it on paper, in the air with your finger or whole hand, or visualize it. It will become second nature!
