In this post, I’m diving into the deeper truth behind the Reiki symbols, what they actually are, how they differ in Western and Japanese Reiki, and why I believe they’re more for you, the practitioner, than your clients. I share how I teach them intuitively, guide students to feel their energy through meditation, and why intention and presence matter more than perfect technique. Whether you're new to Reiki or evolving your practice, this post will help you connect with the symbols in a more embodied and empowered way.
