The power symbol, Cho Ku Rei, is used to increase or decrease power (depending on the direction in which it is drawn) and represents the ability to illuminate or enlighten spiritually. The horizontal line represents the source of Reiki while the vertical one symbolizes the energy flow. The spiral reaches the middle line seven times representing the seven chakras.
If you want to deepen your work with CKR, here are four healing methods for you to try:
- Repeat mentally slowly and softly at least for 4 minutes the Reiki symbol CHO KU REI. As more minutes you will be in meditation with the symbol, hundreds of thousands benefits you will get and more powerful your degree of healing will be because the symbol and the mantra have inside themselves all what you need.
The soul is who lives in your body to learn. The soul sees through your body, the important is to not contaminate that vision with your mind and your intellect, because you will see your limitations, your defects, your mistakes and ugliness. The soul already knows the meaning of the symbol, which is your intention, with this tool inside you, your mind uses your body to awake your consciousness and to break your physical and mental limitations, becoming a healer, also after meditating with CHO KU REI and without being aware you will have started a self-healing system.
- Make an exact copy of yourself in your mind and visualize yourself as a light being (visualizing as a light being you will move much more healing energies). With the exact copy of yourself you can do a self-healing meditation. If there is pain or an illness inside you, you can put the hands of your exact copy on the part of the body and channel sending light over that zone. Try to not think about the time, normally after the first self-healing and meditation you can get incredible results.
From the seventh session of self-healing meditation over the same zone you will be able to admit the miracle of your power and healing.
- If you find difficulties by visualizing, you can have the symbol at sight, although in this moment that you have been working with the symbol, you have already much energy worked and activated in your body so: meditate imagining healing a person, or saying his/her name (don’t worry as the Reiki energy and the telepathy will arrive at the person to whom you are meditating) Ask mentally permission to the light beings and the person who you have in mind. Send through your mind the CHO KU REI symbol some times and make the intention to heal over the person, repeating the mantra. Don’t worry because it acts over the auric field and at the same time you will activate in you the telepathy to send distant healing.
- Mentally visit that person. Make healing though your mind with the exact copy of your body. His/ her soul will know you are helping.
Reiki doesn’t understand of distances, limitations, spaces and times. If you don’t believe that, then you are limiting the power of your mind and of your Reiki.

To be a true Reiki master, leave the training wheels that are the symbols behind! The symbols were never a part of true traditional Reiki until Reiki came to Western countries. At the start they were used as training wheels. You can never truly be a Reiki master or a master of anything really, if you are constantly using training wheels! Learn and grow so you can move past the training wheels that are the symptoms!n. Everything presented here can be done without the symbols! You just have to learn and understand that and move beyond the programming that’s been done to you were you were programmed that you need to have the symbols!
my first Reiki training was in 1994, level 2 in 1995 and did Master in 2000 before it was changed and changed over the years.
. we learned the symbols and told so sacred Not even to write them down but our training included memorization. .now I see the symbols posted written backwards and new symbols added that were never part of the original Usui reiki training. I see attunements done online and not in person which I really don’t understand how that is possible. I have a friend who is a reiki master that only attunes half the body the dominant side, and only works on the back not the front. and I know that she has attuned hundreds of people that way.. Very different from my training. her reiki sessions feel weak to me. I did hear back in 1993 that Takata said reiki was not to be brought to the west, after seeing what happened it makes sense. I have not heard your story tho.
Some great ways of using power symbol.
I like that you can use it for a distant healing without using the hon sha ze sho nen symbol.
I never thought about making an exact copy of myself, it’s clever.
