Reiki: 5 Ways To Help Yourself With The Power Symbol

1. Traffic Jams

Modern life in London (UK) is full of traffic jams bumper to bumper cars stretching back hours, crabby children, dehydration I only went out to pick up some veg, for goodness sake! heat and right at the front of the jam, some intellectually challenged person who thought it was ok to double park as long as they put on their hazard lights!

So. Sitting in my car in a traffic jam is an ideal time to play with Reiki. It keeps me calm and free of road rage. And at the same time have you seen the effect of bouncing a Power symbol up and down on the roof of the car? Before very long, theres a gap in the traffic on the other side of the road, so that my side can start moving again and pretty soon after that the guy with the hazard lights turns up, smiles beautifically, starts his car and moves off without a care in the world.

Sheer weight of traffic, on the other hand, requires a bigger solution. A huge power symbol bouncing up and down in the middle of it a roundabout is a fabulous place to bounce it - as well as the one on the roof of the car. Call me crazy, but those power symbols let loose tiny versions of themselves like little bubbles, bouncing off into the distance doing goodness knows what to loosen off the traffic and get it flowing again. My daughter doesnt even ask me any more if Im doing Reiki when the traffic starts moving, she just looks at me and says Ha!.

This works on people traffic jams too or queues as we like to call them in the UK.

I think it might be a bit inappropriate to bounce symbols on top of peoples heads who havent asked for Reiki, but, you know, the floor next to them, as long as Im in a public space, is fair game. I see those little bubbly Power symbols bouncing off the big main one, bouncing around the floor , through all the long line of the queue and within a very short time, by a huge coincidence a couple of extra counters are opened and Im in front of one of them getting my cheque cashed or stamps bought. And the cashier has a smile on her face for the first time that day.

2. Lift the Atmosphere

Speaking of smiles, bouncing a Power symbol up and down in any public space is doing everyone a favour. Whenever I go into a shop, a bank or some other place of commerce, I generally do this particularly in supermarkets. All those anxious people desperately trying to find something

nourishing to take home to their families, failing miserably so going for the nearest microwave meal, well, that leaves an energy imprint in the shop. Bouncing a Power symbol in front of me as I wander the shelves not only clears the atmosphere for me, but for everyone else as well. Win-Win.

At home, I lift the atmosphere pretty much daily in my home with Reiki. Drawing a Power symbol in the centre of the room, send Reiki to it and then waft the symbol into each of the walls, the front of the house, back garden, side paths on both sides and even the road and pavement at the front. Oh, yes the car too.

3. Protect Yourself

In the supermarket, the Power symbol can also protect you from those trolleys wielded by distracted mothers of three, all of whom want a sweetie or something equally unsuitable, arguing over who is going to push the trolley and whos going to ride in it.

Before Reiki, I remember a woman so anxious and distracted in the supermarket she rammed her trolley so hard into my foot that a toenail went black and dropped off! Not now.

I surround myself with Reiki Power symbols and find that, strangely, people move around, rather than through, me. Same on the high street on Saturday mornings, or in the shopping centre.

Now, this doesnt mean that I go out purposefully into less salubrious areas around town after dark, but I do find that surrounding myself with Power symbols on the odd occasions when I feel I need a little lift helps me to feel more confident. When I feel confident, my body language is off putting to predators on the prowl.

4. Protect Your Stuff

I love putting the Reiki Power symbol on my stuff car, credit cards, keys, handbag, computer, phone all kinds of stuff.

Why? Well, partly because its fun to know all my stuff is full of Reiki. And partly because I tend to forget things. What things? Everything, really. So when my stuff is full of Reiki, I dont forget it so often.

Coincidentally, when my computer is Reiki-ed, it tends to work really well. Go figure. In fact I know a few IT techs who can get a bricked PC working again by giving it a little Reiki love.

Other Reiki people I know have got their cars going when the battery has died. Im not really a car person, so I tend to call someone to charge the battery in those circumstances. Will let you know how it turns out if Im ever so stuck I need to Reiki the engine.

I do Reiki the petrol, though weirdly it seems to make the petrol last longer. Or perhaps thats just me.

5. Meditation

Sometimes, I like to draw a huge Reiki Power symbol around myself, with the spiral crossing all the chakras, and then just sit with it and meditate. It makes me feel happy.

5 Ways to Support Yourself with the Reiki Emotional Symbol

6. Stress
Everyone becomes stressed sometimes. In fact stress can be positive it gives us get up and go to complete projects, manage our time efficiently and focus on getting through the day. However, when stress becomes overwhelming, it can be distracting, so heres a tip to help reduce it using the Reiki Emotional Symbol sometimes known as the Second Symbol. Put your hands on your forehead. Draw the Emotional Symbol using one hand, your eyes, breath or tongue (on the roof of your mouth, unless youre a giraffe!). Visualise the symbol moving through your hand into your head and ending up in the brain stem Reiki the symbol for as long as you like and feel that stress melting out of your body!

7. Emotional Situations
Sometimes we find ourselves in situations where emotions are running high in hospitals, at work, at home or with friends and loved ones. The Reiki Emotional Symbol (sometimes known as the Reiki Harmony Symbol) can be very positive in these circumstances. Draw a big Reiki Emotional Symbol using one of the methods outlined above generally, in emotional settings, subtle is best. Focus your mind, eyes and breath on the symbol Slow your breathing Observe as the energy of the situation comes into harmony

8. Chronic Pain
Chronic Pain can often be a result of stored stress, anger or frustration. The Reiki Emotional Symbol can help you deal with the underlying causes as well as helping to lighten the load of long term suffering. Draw the Reiki Emotional Symbol on the place where the pain is Reiki the symbol until your Byosen indicates its time to move on

9. Flow
Flow is an interesting one. Sometimes, we all feel a bit stuck physically, emotionally or

spiritually. When youre feeling a bit stuck, try drawing a huge Reiki Emotional Symbol around yourself and just meditating inside it. My own experience is that just sitting and meditating with the symbol is that its very calming and often enough to unstick whatever it is thats holding things up, in myself or in the situation, bringing about a sense of flow relatively quickly and easily. Sometimes it takes more than one go, but heck, if youre stuck, you dont have anything better to do!

10. Sleep
Its surprising how many people have trouble sleeping these days, or keep waking up in the night. The Reiki Emotional Symbol can be a big help. Compose yourself for sleep Draw a Reiki Emotional Symbol around yourself, on your pillow, duvet or anywhere else you feel appropriate. Reiki the symbol until you wake up in the morning!

5 Ways to Change Your Life with the Distance Symbol

The Reiki Distance Symbol is often misunderstood. In fact, one person told me years ago that she never uses it because she read somewhere that it wraps itself around the core issue like a snake, squeezing it until it reaches the surface! That would be a bit off putting to me too! We call the third Reiki Symbol the Distance Symbol and tend to think that distance work is all it does. Here are 5 more ways you can use it to change your life.

11. Self Treatment

According to Hiroshi Doi, the Third Symbol can be used to energise the Throat and Brow Chakras. What does that mean? On a physical level, you might try it when you have a head cold, for example. When the throat and sinuses are painful and bunged up, this symbol can help get the energy flowing again, bringing relief from symptoms and speeding a return to vibrant health. Also, my family has a tendency to thyroid problems, so I tend to Reiki my throat with this symbol often. Emotionally, the throat chakra refers to speaking and listening, particularly in relation to personal truth, issues with being heard and being able to stand up for oneself. Bear in mind that a balanced throat chakra means that you hear others, too. When I feel Im not being heard you will note I dont have much trouble in hearing others truths! I do Reiki my throat chakra with the distance symbol. This tends to unblock whatever isnt working properly. Spiritually, the throat chakra refers to the discovery and honest profession of personal truth. When we dont know what that is, life can be pretty colourless. When were afraid to speak out, life can be pretty miserable. Reiki-ing ones throat chakra with the distance symbol can be an interesting journey!

The brow chakra refers to Will and the power of our own journey. On a physical level, its the brow chakra that helps us with memory, sequencing and insight. Very helpful in exams or those times when you walk into a room and immediately forget why you went there! On an emotional level, the third symbol can be very useful in the healing of unhappy memories, of which more later in this article. Spiritually, Reiki-ing the brow chakra with the third symbol helps us to remember who we truly are spiritual creatures having a human experience, rather than the other way round. 2012 the Chinese year of the Water Dragon - is a year of transformation and opportunity which makes this the ideal time to remember who we are and act on it!

12. Difficult Situations

Reiki always makes a difference in difficult situations. Sometimes we find ourselves in ongoing stressful situations where we feel we have no choice but to soldier on and just put one foot in front of the other until we get through it. In these types of situations, the Distance Symbol can be very helpful in reducing stress and anxiety, as well as creating or helping us notice! ways of bringing the situation to a positive resolution. Or at least the best possible resolution, which is not always the same thing. Remember Reiki is gentle, yet powerful, so it may look like nothing is happening until one day, you wake up and everything has changed a difficult boss has found another job; a bullying co-worker has taken a transfer; a buyer for your house suddenly appears out of nowhere; a solution presents itself in a dream.

13. The Past

A funny thing happened when I was a child. I had been doing something I wasnt supposed to do riding a horse bareback, no less and broke my collar bone. Obviously, since I wasnt supposed to be doing it, I didnt tell anyone and it was a week before anyone noticed. By that time it had begun to heal and couldnt be set, so I still have a lump on my collar bone where the bone broke completely in half, one end sliding under the other. Frankly, I didnt think anything of the speed of healing until my own son broke a bone. Apparently broken bones take 6 weeks to heal to the extent that mine had healed in 6 days! Obviously, it could be a coincidence that I have been sending Reiki back in time to that accident, the bone break and its consequences off and on since 2nd Degree using the distance symbol. Just as an aside, Reiki-ing a broken bone before it has been set means it will heal quickly and may have to be broken again to straighten it out. Reiki for pain relief and shock by all means, but stay away from the bone until it has been set. Its always worth sending Reiki back in time to childhood accidents, bullying and other situations. Have you ever sent Reiki to your past? Leave a comment below to let us know what happened.

14. The Future

Co-creating your future with the Reiki Distance Symbol is always worth trying. From the simple visualising arriving at an appointment on time, to more complex Law of Attraction work. Visualise what you want and how you want to feel and send Reiki to it with the distance symbol. Ive found that this is a very profound way of opening up opportunities and clearing a path to where you want to be. Sometimes its a bit subtle, but pay attention. Let go of control of the process and focus on the outcome you want. Yes, I know were not supposed to be attached to outcomes but when we focus on how grateful we will feel, how much happiness, satisfaction and joy a particular outcome
