Karuna Reiki® Symbols

Karuna energy® carries the purpose of “ending the suffering of others”, supporting all compassionate actions towards self and others. It’s an intentional and motivating quality of all enlightened beings to cease suffering on Earth.

Karuna Reiki®, also known as Reiki of Compassion, is a system of healing that has evolved out of the Usui Reiki System.

Its own symbols and attunement techniques were received while various forms of Reiki Healing were researched by very gifted Reiki Masters. Some of the symbols may be also used by other schools and systems but the attunements and the intentions are different.

Karuna Reiki® is the quintessence of Reiki Universal Life Force. Those who seek to become Certified Karuna Reiki Master Teacher or Reiki Master have to receive the teachings from the International Center for Reiki Training (US).

Karuna Reiki® Symbols explained

Karuna Reiki® presents eight symbols with specific energetic frequencies for specific conditions. Each symbol holds an energy, so it can be used to invoke its meaning, and further its effect to bring healing where is needed through different techniques like symbol chanting.

Om

Om or Aum is a very powerful symbol. It is beyond time, as it’s considered the source of all creation, the eternal oneness of all that is. Before being discovered as a symbol in Karuna Reiki®, it was the most sacred sound found in Yoga. It can be used even if no attunement to Reiki has been made.

Those four subtle sounds of Om correspond to four levels of consciousness as following: “A” – conscious, waking state; “U” – subtle, unconscious dream state; “M” – subconscious, deep sleep state; the fourth sound is the silence, which represents the absolute consciousness that illuminates and pervades the three prior states.
