2. Keith Wilson:
I soon discovered that with the exception of CKR and SHK the remaining
symbols were merely the words written in Kanji and that it seemed likely
to
me therefore that the symbols were originally used as (maybe) a mantra
or
an invocation with the symbol itself just providing a visual reinforcement.
I decided to apply this technique to the Reiki symbols and it worked.
Each symbol took me into a different mental space (for want of a better
description) and so I then used NLP technique to develop 'anchors'
that
would return me to the same mental condition when I said the names
of the
symbols (mentally) or visualised the symbols.
This technique works really well for me and for other Reiki Masters
that I
have shared it with, if you decide to try it I would be interested
to know
how you get on.

Another interesting technique that I have developed is the use of the
CKR
symbol.
I understand that the vertical part of the symbol is supposed to represent
the descent of the Ki from above and that the spiral represents the
path
taken by the energy as it spirals through the chakras and ends in the
heart
chakra.
I like to follow the course of the Ki through this path as a
meditation/visualisation before I start working and particularly when
I am
about to attune others.
