Reiki symbols are a great tool for Reiki practitioners to use
Think of them like containers that hold a specific intention so you can give it to yourself or someone else
Since Reiki has a lot to do with healing, there are a lot of symbols that help with healing
Some of the Reiki symbols that focus on healing are Dai Ko Myo, Sei He Ki, Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen, The Dragon of Fire, Zonar, Halu, Motor Zanon, Palm Master Symbol, Johrei, Hosanna, and Len So My. Even though they all do healing Reiki, they focus on different types of healing
Remember that symbols don’t do anything without you filling them with intention and activating them
So you have to get good at using intention to get the outcome that you are looking for
What are the Reiki symbols?
Reiki symbols are an amazing tool that Reiki practitioners have when doing their healing sessions
They all do something different and no symbol is better than another one
Even the ones called “master symbols” are not superior
They just do something different
They can do their job because they have a specific vibration
Everything, including wellness and sickness, has their own vibrations
So Reiki symbols can do things like healing because they have the vibration that allows that
Even though they have purposes, you can use your intention to choose range a range of things that a symbol can do
Reiki symbols give a practitioner a more focused way to tap into a higher vibration
Like I said before, they are a tool
They should be used like a tool and not become the core of your Reiki practice
The core of your practice needs to be you
Which ones are healing symbols?
Since Reiki has a focus on healing, there are a lot of symbols that heal

Keep a clear image in your mind and focus on your intention even if the symbol doesn’t look perfect
It will still work!
Dai Ko Myo
Dai Ko Myo is one of the master symbols
It is often one of the first symbols that you learn
But your teacher may have you wait until Reiki 3
Dai Ko Myo translates to “Great Shining Light”
This symbol has the ability to fill someone or something with light
It cleanses you and is very open to your intension
Since this symbol is a light bringer that is guided by intention, it can be used to help heal mental health, emotional balance, energy cleansing, and guide spiritual growth
Sei He Ki
Sei He Ki is the mental and emotional Reiki healing symbol
You learn this symbol during Reiki 2 and it represents mental-emotional healing, harmony, and balance
You can activate this symbol in your palms and chakras
Sei He Ki helps you get to the heart of your emotional pain which is often hidden in the subconscious
You can also use it to heal from addictions like smoking, drinking, and negative thoughts
Sei He Ki is like opening a window to allow all the negative energy to leave and fresh air to come in
It is the perfect symbol for stress and overwhelm because it will help you regain peace and balance

Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen
Hon Sha Zo Sho Nen is the distance healing symbol
It translates as “without past, present, or future. The Divinity in me contacts the Divinity in you”
Hon Sha Zo Sho Nen allows you to transfer healing energy through time and space to help someone you cannot see in person
You can also send energy to your past, present, and future
When sending energy to your past, you can help heal the pain and trauma that you experienced
But try to only do it once in a while and only about 10 minutes
Make sure that you dig in and learn as much as you can before using this symbol
There are so many possibilities that understanding your teacher is important before attempting
The Dragon of Fire
The Dragon of Fire can be used to clean your connection to the earth’s energy
But it is also used to help with a woman’s menstrual pain, genital issues, and other issues
If you draw it on your back, it can ground you and give you energy
If you draw it on your front, you create a shield to protect yourself of negative influences
Zonar
Zonar represents infinite love and evolution, and it is channeled through guided meditation
Like most of the symbols, Zonar is activated in your palms and chakras
It has the ability to help heal a painful past and past traumatic events down to a cellular level
It can also dissolve negative energy and patterns and replace them with more beneficial vibrations
Halu
Halu is a symbol that offers a certain level of psychic protection and healing
It creates a bridge between you and the healing abilities of Archangel Raphael
He is the guide for all doctors and healers
You can activate Halu with your palms and chakras for self-healing or cleanse a room
Halu can also help with self-responsibility
It helps us see our own problems and it helps us work through them
That is because Halu offers healing, protection, growth, and evolution
Motor Zanon
Motor Zanon is a unique symbol that you can use to fight viruses and bacteria
It is also called the anti-viral symbol
This symbol is also excellent when using it with other symbols
When put together with the right symbols, Motor Zanon can be used to provide healing on all levels
It is not meant to replace medication, but it can speed up the effects of medication and help your body recover faster
Motor Zanon is great to add to your self-care routine as well
Palm Master Symbol
The Palm Master Symbol is one of the most powerful symbols
So you learn it later in your Reiki journey
It helps you gain a balanced and healthy connection between your inner self, soul, and higher self
The Palm Master symbol helps remove negative energy and connect you to universal energy for healing
Johrei
From its Japanese origins, Johrei means the “purification of spirit”
Manifestations must start at a spiritual level before they can be effective on the physical level
The hands-on Johrei was used by the Buddhists to heal a person’s soul and physical problems
You can use it like the other symbols, but it is most effective when drawn onto physical objects
You can place it on a wall or under a table to replace negative energies in the room with a higher vibration
Johrei can also release energetic blockages from your chakras and their fields
Johrei is perfect for creating an environment for any healing therapy
Hosanna
There are two ways to draw the Hosanna symbol and they do something different
The first version removes blockages and is a general cleansing of mental, emotional, and energetic levels
The second version is more specific
It can help you heal from health problems and past trauma
It does take multiple times so don’t just use it once and expect much
You would need to use this symbol about twice a week for 10 minutes each
Len So My
Len So My represents pure unconditional love
I added it because a lot of healing comes from love
This symbol brings comfort to your soul and aids people who feel lost
It can be added to any session that needs a little more loving energy
