Dai Ko Myo (“die”, “co”, “me-oh”,is the Reiki symbol for the crown chakra and is the sixth of the course. It symbolizes the Great Light (which is what the Japanese word means) and infinite creative potential. It contains all the other symbols within it, since everything is found with the infinite light which we live within always. Because we are part of this infinite light, we can manifest anything we want through it.
I am one with the Great Light which manifests as Love, Wisdom, and Creativity. I relax into infinite joy and peace.
Sei He Ki (pronounced “Say”, “He”, “Key”) is the Reiki symbol for the belly and is the fifth of the course. It is a symbol for emotional healing – as we hold a great deal of emotion in our belly. It is particularly for the healing of the inner-child, it’s neglected needs and invalidated sensitivities. “I let Divine Energy go back into my time line and fulfill my genuine growth needs. I allow myself to be healed of all past mistakes. I realized that my parents loved me as best that they could, given their own wounds, issues, and limitations.”
Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen means “the god in me honors the god in you” – similar to the often shared “namaste” in the spiritual community, it’s a lovely salutation. It symbolizes our inner divinity and how we mutually respect each other. It is used in remote healing and is a Shingon Chant to burn away karma. The symbol, when drawn, shows us how to manifest our intentions. “I center myself in the four elements. I surrender into trusting the Divine to care for me and protect me. I yield my body, mind and heart into the process. I send energy into open receptive spaces and allow parts of me and others to be reborn in love.”
This symbol means “put the power here”. It empowers us as individuals and gives us the right to live our life as we choose and grants the same right to others. It ends all power struggle. “I let you live your own way and I let myself live my way. We can meet in unforced agreements or simply go in different directions. I accept both these possibilities and will not try to force you to live my way. At the same time, I will not let myself be forced into roles required by others. I will the truth of my own heart.”
So much human experience is stored and circulated through the throat chakra. All of our expression – our joys, angers, pains, laughters, anguishes, prayers, abominations – occurs through the throat chakra. This includes all of our listenings, for our ability and experience of listening is simply a reflection of our own abilities and experiences of being able to express ourselves. To know something is to experience it. “I release all old energy from my body, mind, and heart. I make space for new creative self expression.”
The Tanran – heart – symbol is the commencing symbol for this course. Your heart chakra is potentially the most powerful energy center in your human being, for it’s function is to be the connecting point between heaven and earth. “I expand my consciousness to embrace all viewpoints and understand everyone is doing the best that they know how to do.”
