Reiki Energy Session Meditation Guide - Reiki Healing Energy is Available to Everybody

It is helpful to understand that using Reiki symbols and names to reinforce healing is not some form of wishing or magic. The purpose of the symbols and words is to provide us with momentary pause and focus. This helps direct our intention to welcome this healing energy to go where it is most helpful. Certification is not necessary. It just means a person has studied it deeply and may have more experience and success using the practices. But whether you are certified or not, it is very helpful to get used to using Reiki energy on yourself because this is a healing gift for all.


 

A Closer Look at Reiki Symbols, Their Meanings, and Their Use

The only thing necessary to use Reiki Energy, is your willingness to allow this energy to go where it chooses, and trust that it is guided by awareness far greater than yours.

CHO KU REI

Cho Ku Rei Reiki Symbol - Power Symbol

Pronounced, choh-koo-ray, this is the first symbol or word to focus on when initiating a Reiki healing session. Invoking this Power Symbol opens the door for this energy to work through you, and brings the power of the universe directly to you.

The reason this symbol is so powerful is because it is used to access your chi which is a vital life force that exists in all living beings. In humans, it is believed that chi unites the spirit, mind and body into one. This is like focusing all the light of the sun through a magnifying glass, which dramatically increases the available power to accomplish things that could not be done otherwise.

SEI HEI KI

Sei Hei Ki Reiki Symbol - Emotional Symbol

Pronounced, say-hay-key, this is the second symbol or word to focus on because it clears your emotional issues and helps to restore harmony to an unsettled mind. Invoking this Emotional Symbol is an invitation for spirit to join with you where you share in its oneness and clarity.

This symbol helps to remove negativity and calm your mind. You don't even have to be performing Reiki specifically to call on this power because it can help you resolve addictive behaviors and help you move away from bad habits, simply by having removed the negative energy that promotes those activities.

DAI KO MYO

Dai ko Myo Reiki Symbol - Usui Master Symbol

Pronounced, Dye-koh-my-oh, this is the third symbol or word to focus on to open the floodgates for spirit to work through you. Initially reserved for Reiki Masters, invoking this Usui Master Symbol is an invitation for spirits great shining light to reach deep inside you and cleanse your soul.

The healing effects of this symbol are significant as it works deeply within the upper chakras and aura, plus it leads to increased psychic abilities and advances you closer to enlightenment.

This symbol is a great aid for spiritual growth and development as it vibrates at a very high level. This powerful symbol is deemed as sacred due to the high vibration it brings and its corresponding connection to spirit. Can literally be translated as Great Shiny Star which simply speaks of what you become when you act as the conduit of when this vibrational energy flows through you.

RAKU

Raku Symbol - Grounding Symbol

Pronounced, ray-koo, this lightning bolt is the final symbol or word to focus on when finalizing a healing session. Invoking this Grounding Symbol sets the healing in stone, clears any negative energy and seals the energy of the healing so that is will stay with you until it completes its purpose.

Another reason to use it at the end of a session is to disconnect you from any energy entanglements. This is commonly just to help guard you against attaching to somebody elses energy after performing a session on another person, but when just working on yourself, it will help sever the ties to unhelpful entanglements with old energy patterns and habits of your own. It literally protects you from yourself.

It is also helpful to use this symbol for everyday grounding since it is the perfect recycling mechanism. It brings new energy in from above, flows it through you, then deposits any low vibrational or unhelpful energy into the ground and send it back to the universe and Source, to be used again in some other way.

HON SHA ZE SHO NEN

Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen Symbol - Distance Symbol

Pronounced, aahn-shah-zee-show-nen, we held off until last to provide this information since it is not needed when simply working on yourself, but it is being added here to illustrate an option that is used by many Reiki Practitioners and Reiki Masters. Invoking this Distance Symbol creates an energy connection between yourself and a person who is at a distance, but it goes even further than that. This symbol literally means, The higher self in me connects with the higher self in you for the purpose of peace and enlightenment.

When performing a reiki session with a distant person, whether using Zoom or not, I will generally invoke it right after invoking Cho Ku Rei. This sets the stage where this sacred connection is put in place and then everything that follows happens as though myself and the client were one and the same.

When finalizing the session, because of the intimate connection made to another, it is easy for the two sets of energy to become mingled, and it is possible to end up with something from the other person that might not be helpful, and vice-versa, so this is why it is a good idea to finalize the session by invoking the Raku symbol so that the connection between yourself and the other person is cleanly severed for both of you.

Chakra Teachings Excerpts from my Publications

The concept of Chakras originated within the Hindu culture over 4000 years ago at a time where we had a more direct connection yet with our spirit and the earth. They were believed to be channels through which universal energy can flow, and that's how we still see them today.

Starting from the base of the spine, we have the Root Chakra, above that, near belly button height is the Sacral Chakra, next, in the middle your gut is the Solar Plexus Chakra. Above that in the center of your chest is the Heart Chakra. Above that, in the center of your throat is the Throat Chakra. Next, in the center of your forehead is the Third Eye Chakra. Then finally, at the very top of your head is the Crown Chakra.

the eye of God
... Chakras are channels through which universal energy can flow

The Chakras are a hybrid or connection between our physical and spiritual being, so as much as our spirit can help improve and maintain the chakras, what we do with our body and mind can also affect the chakras. Our choice to embrace loving and peaceful thoughts helps improve the chakras. Our choice to embrace hateful and angry thoughts can cause the chakras to become unbalanced and less effective.

Likewise, what we do to our bodies can also affect our chakras. If we eat poorly, abuse substances, put too much strain on our muscles, stress our minds by pushing too hard or do not sleep enough, etc, these practices put a strain on the body and then the chakras capacity diminishes.

Knowing this now about the chakras, it's easy to see that it is extremely helpful to have them balanced often, and also to learn how to do that yourself as well. Although individual like myself have received training to work on the chakras and also to perform Reiki, healing is a natural gift that God has already placed in your hands, and it is available to you always. I will help you learn how to access it and make it available for yourself, and even others if you like.

The full transcript of Chakras 101 is included in several of our publications and can be obtained here:

 

If you did a Google search for 'healing near me', 'energy healing near me', 'reiki near me', or similar searches, you will have likely found this page if you are within a 30 mile radius of my physical location which services these Pennsylvania counties: Luzerne County, Carbon County, Schuylkill County, Northumberland County, Montour County, and Columbia County. Located just outside Hazleton, Pennsylvania, I provide on-site healing sessions at The Tree of Life Shoppe in Ringtown, PA, however, since I also offer distance healings, 'healing near me' can easily apply to anyone, anywhere in the world. As stated earlier, distance healings are just as powerful and effective as those performed on-site, so don't let distance or convenience be a reason for not experiencing something that can be life-changing.

About David Nelmes, AS, CTC

David Nelmes David is a distinguished author, Reiki Master, and Certified Transformational Coach whose unique journey has led him to a profound understanding of the divine. Raised predominantly in a Protestant environment, he experienced a significant shift in his beliefs during his teenage and young adult years, immersing himself in evangelical and Pentecostal ideologies. However, in the late 1990s, an inner awakening ignited a profound change within him, altering his perception of God in ways he had never imagined.

As his consciousness expanded, David began to perceive a loving God—one free from requirements, devoid of fear-based motivations, and uninterested in demanding worship or sacrifice. Instead, he discovered an all-encompassing and unconditional love emanating from the Divine. This newfound perspective opened his mind to explore the teachings of "A Course in Miracles," which offered him an entirely new world of spiritual insight and revelation.

Eager to share his evolving experiences and shifted perceptions, David commenced writing articles that conveyed his profound realizations and the transformative power of seeing things from a fresh perspective. However, he understood that his own spiritual growth required ongoing dedication and the removal of significant internal barriers. Years of devoted inner work allowed him to break through these formidable blocks and redefine his identity, resulting in the authentic and inspiring individual he is today. And his spiritual journey continues to unfold, ever-expanding in its depth and wisdom.

David's literary contributions include remarkable books such as "Seeing God ...perhaps for the first time," "Breaking Through When Feeling Stuck ... And Not Getting Stuck Again," and his most recent publication, "12 Steps to Deep Inner Healing." Each of these works is meticulously crafted to offer multifaceted healing experiences, illuminating the path to self-discovery and fostering a clearer understanding of one's own essence and connection with the Divine.

With a genuine and powerful aptitude for healing, teaching, and writing, David's profound desire to share his wisdom on spirit and energy work is manifested through his captivating books, enlightening articles, transformative courses, and empowering workshops. Furthermore, his energy healing services serve as a testament to the immense quality and potency of his contributions. As David continues to delve deeper into the realms of spiritual understanding, his commitment to enriching the lives of others remains unwavering, promising even greater revelations and wisdom to be shared in the future.

Here are a few words David would like to share with you...

I love that you found this web site because I know the information and services provided here can genuinely help you to the core of your being.

"I am here only to be truly helpful." This is a phrase from A Course in Miracles that I have chosen to live by. Whenever I have felt I lost my way or wonder why I am here; what my purpose is; I remember this: "I am here only to be truly helpful."

I am a healer, writer, and teacher, and my happy goal is to share what I have learned and continue to learn. Many masters who have gone before us have great lessons and achievements, and I have learned that we partake and benefit directly from those experiences, even if they were not our own. I absorb and channel what I can from them and I share this with you through writing, healing and teaching.

I encourage you to make use of my courses and sessions, read my articles and absorb what I share. As with me, everything you learn from another, compresses time and shortens our journey back home to source, and that's the whole point or purpose of our existence, to discover our way back to Source.

Peace and blessings, forward and backward,

David Nelmes, AS, CTC
