What Do Reiki Symbols Mean?

Reiki symbols are sacred representations of cosmic energies symbolically denoted in Japanese fonts. The Reiki symbols "Choku Rei," "Sei He Ki," "Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen" and "Dai Ko Myo" are metaphysical in nature and possess the power to connect the healer to higher cosmic realms when they are used for healing purposes by one who has received Reiki 2 initiation.
