I only ever did level one, what i'm curious about is do you keep your first symbol forever or do you get a new one every time you move up a level? Does everyone at the same level have the same symbol, or are they unique to every person?

Re: Reiki symbols
hi V
as far as i know, there are no personal symbols not at the begining anyway.. each level bring more symbols..
btw, there is a book that states all the symbols of reiki.. if you want i can check come to think about it i haven't seen it in a long time..
but this is all that i know i didn't do more the 3 levels and then i found the book and myself i prefer the natural healing and not reiki or any other system.

At the first level of Reiki there are no symbols.. Just lots of self healing...
The second level you learn Three Symbols....
The Third level you learn one more symbol.

Re: Reiki symbols
Hello
I am on the same page as Innerlight. I had NO symbols for Level I . Three for Level II and there will be one for Level III when I take that Easter Long Weekend.
What I found really amazing was I had of course seen the Symbols in books but out of respect never used them or even tried them, they flowed with me so easily.

Re: Reiki symbols
I was given a symbol at level one, however the circumstances surrounding me being attuned were rather unsual, I was definately attuned by a reiki master, so it's not possible it was in anyway a 'sham' attunement, I wonder why I was given the symbol if you're not really supposed to have one then

Let me clear up the possible confusion. There is a major exception to this rule, and that would depend on the style of Reiki you were attuned to. As there are many diverse Reiki branches it is possible that the one you got had a symbol at level one. It is also possible that the symbols are different then the other branches. It's also possible that that branch of Reiki can do things completely different. It's a matter of the Reiki Master who attunes you. The basic guidelines for Usui Reiki, the original Reiki that we know, goes by what me, and Lynn said.

Re: Reiki symbols
All I know is it was just Reiki, it was a while back before all these newer 'branches' of it emerged, as far as I know the 'original' Reiki.

Re: Reiki symbols
Is there any chance someone would be 'awarded' a symbol early if they were active/capable in other types of healing.

Normally no. They would not as the basic guidelines are there. I suppose it's possible that if you were already a healer, that they combined the attunements, but that wouldn't explain the one symbol. As there are three at the second level.
I am curious as to what symbol you were given if you don't mind sharing. You can send it to me in pm. I have a feeling what it could of been.

Hello
When I did Level One there were NO symbols given that was an introduction and practice and awakening and a balancing of the energies.
Practice of the hand positions and understanding how the energy worked and flowed.
Level 2 was three symbols and lots of practice in the ways they were done. Practice on doing a healing on someone.
Level 3 - Master Healer Level - 3 more symbols and again more practice .
Master Teacher Level 3 - A FULL overview on HOW it all works. Run though Level 1 -3 and shown how to pass on attunements. Instructed on the fact that all Master's WRITE their own course but that the base lines are followed. NO symbols for Level 1.
How did it feel Level 1 ( for me as I had a Kundalini Awakening that summer ) was like an energy overload, I was up all that night. It was noted by one's that can sense me that I had been shifted.
Level 2 was a more gentle transition, I even fell a sleep when someone was working in me in practice and that is NOT me at all. Again one's noted a shift in me. Me I simpy started to feel more in balance in that place of the inner self.
Level 3 was intense in bringing the TWO parts of me into one whole. Being a Medium and comfortable in working in the Spirit World and Astral Planes I ran pretty grounded and without a lot of outward emotions. Being told that it was TIME to step into more the work with the living I opened that other door to me more the Psychic side of me, the side that can do readings and use intuition with dreams ext....but still the emotions were inward and well gaurded. The Kundalini Awakening I had opened the heart, but did not openly flow the emotions. Level 3 brought that balnce. Readers noted and one's that could sense me said that I no longer felt pulled in TWO I had that middle ground balance. I could FEEL that place of balance and understood HOW I could walk as ONE in both worlds. Most choose a path in what calls to them more or what gives them the path of income. I never choose that way.
I had always been able to heal, but never had the "Certification" to do it so this was a completion of what I already had really. That validation of YES this is pure in energy and intentions. Like taking a formal Tutorial for Tarot Readings and Past Life Regressions, that knowlege from a Master or Teacher does matter.
I have Attuned one Student to Level 3 but not to Teaching Master.

Hi Lyn thats very interesting,
Seem to have a few things in common there with you, thankyou for the feed back on your own personal experiences with your attunements,
my reiki 1 = i was doing lots of releasing highly emotoion, although i felt a heightened awareness of other ppls emotions to, i had always felt quite empathic to ppl i came in contact to especially family and close friends, but this went to a new level and i found and still do from time to time supermarkets, and big spaces of ppl even a bus ride can very overwhelming and hard for me to stay around without feeling dizzy and sick........ this is somethink i have just learned to live with and constantly grounding my energy...... see im also mediumystic, and i feel this way with spirit enery also at times......
What im really interested in is your Kundalini experience, if you wouldnt mind sharing it, i too have had some enecounters with Kundalini, first i didnt have a clue what was happening to me ,
i was laying on my bed just relaxing, wide awake when the next thing a electric shock like energy just rushed right through my body started through my soles of my feet continuing upwards at such a speed coarsing right through, i could feel my body shaking litrally coming of the bed but i couldnt stop it so i just had to go with it, the moment as it reached the crown of my head i was catapulted out of my body with a bright blue light present, then i went through a life review...... this was different from a regular obe, in yrs building up i had other experiences but never really realised what was happening, like feeling fluid trickling up and dwn the spine, and intense heat, they were just a few experiences to note.... but once i realised what was hapening it all started falling into place......... how did it happen with you as im extremly intrigued with the Kundalini energy now and have been researching it for a long time now since my own experience....
