"Helping those who need it is not only part of duty, but of happiness."

- Jose Marti

Within Reiki we can find certain sacred symbols that assist us to improve the flow of energy that comes from the vital force of the universe. They are part of an interesting theme within the practice of Reiki . They are originated in the Japanese Kanji and are basically words to invoke this energy.

Traditionally and for a long time, these words were kept secret and revealed only to those students who reached the second degree of Reiki Okuden and after receiving their corresponding initiation, without which they will not be able to function.

Through these symbols, practitioners can focus healing energy, as they are transcendental in nature.

At level two of initiation, the three important symbols that are transmitted to students are Cho Ku Rei or the symbol of power, Sei He Ki or the symbol of mental and emotional healing, and the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen, or the symbol of the spiritual connection.

During this process, the Reiki Master records these symbols in the student's aura so that each time he invokes them, the energy that has been previously connected is activated and adjusted accordingly.

In addition to affecting the practitioner's unconscious, they automatically connect him with the consciousness of the Universal Source, like keys that open doors to higher levels of consciousness .

In today's article we will talk specifically about the third symbol: Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen .

Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen, its meaning

There is much controversy about its true meaning. Many agree that its literal meaning is ' neither past, nor present, nor future '. It is also said that its meaning is ' The God in me greets the God in you '. However, as Frans Stiene states in his book " Reiki Insights ", this mantra literally translates as ' My original nature is a correct thought ', interpreting it as ' I am mindfulness '.

According to the calligrapher and translator of the Buddhist texts Kazuaki Tanahashi, it could also be translated as ' My true nature is non-dual thought '. According to this translation, interpretation as distance healing is not entirely correct, since distance implies duality. In reality, we must realize that our being is in nature non-duality . We are all interconnected .

What happens is that we establish our intention in that space while resting our mind on the illumination of the mental state of non-duality.

I know, it's easier said than done.

Only the daily practice of meditation on these symbols and mantras can give us control of that ability. And it is through that kind of meditations that we discover the deepest layers of Mikao Usui's teachings.

The power of the Third Symbol

Of the symbols of the second level of Okuden Reiki, the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is said to be the most powerful, since the time and space in which he works is undefined . The energy of the Universe flows on all planes and at all times.

It works in the conscious mind and the mental body, helping to balance the systems that make up our physiology. The throat, eyebrow and crown chakras are stimulated by their practice, and it serves as a guide to reach the akic records .

This symbol can influence the wounds caused in the past, in balancing our state in the present and in preparing us to receive that energy at some particular time in the future, as the one who stores it to enjoy She later . In addition, it helps us to overcome the obstacles we face in learning situations. And as if that weren't enough, due to the interconnection between all beings in existence, we can send universal energy through us to people who are not present in our same space, and help that way to another individual to maintain harmony between body, mind and spirit .

This symbol is widely used to heal diseases of karmic origin . And it also has the capacity to enhance the power of the other symbols.

The Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen reminds us that the Universe has no limits, since time and space are illusions created by our mind. That is why this symbol must be treated with great respect.

How to use the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen

First, it must be understood that Okuden means ' internal teachings '. That is why it is said that in traditional practice there are no records of the use of pillows or stuffed animals as is usually done today. This tendency to always focus on something external to us is not as Mikao Usui teaches us traditionally. It is necessary to do it inwards and connect with the spirit of the other from there. In addition, this symbol acts more in the subtle body of an individual, that is, in the chakras, the aura, etc.

Although not everyone agrees that it is necessary, for reasons of respect, the individual's permission must be requested to carry out this practice. Yes it is necessary to have reached level two of Reiki Okuden .

There are many different variants and techniques in the practice of telecuration, but in essence the practice consists of the same.

The exercise consists mainly of six steps:

  • First, set the right place and time. The individual to be treated should be in a calm place and preferably lying down. This should be agreed between them.
  • Then, draw the Cho Ku Rei symbol on each of your hands, to ask for protection and practice guidance. You can also invoke protection by performing this symbol on your body or in a specific region of it.
  • Then you must establish the contact by viewing. For this, cover your eyes with your hands and project a mental image of the other person to achieve connection. Once this is done, with your hands in front feel and try to contain that object of your concentration.
  • At this time you must draw the symbol of the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen and repeat his mantra three times. You can also draw the Cho Ku Rei and repeat its mantra to enhance it and give strength to this connection. Then repeat three times the name of the person or the being and the place where you are.
  • From this moment you can carry out the session normally . It can take fifteen to forty-five minutes.
  • Once that process is finished, invoke Cho Ku Rei again and say goodbye. Remember to send good wishes and thanks to the patient. Then close the contact by rubbing your hands vigorously, and say goodbye and thank the Reiki guides.

Respect as the basis of practice

The Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is powerful, it demands a lot of knowledge and awareness from the one who practices it. It should not be taken lightly as it can affect your karma. Therefore, you must be an advanced Reiki Okuden student and have transited the initiation into this symbol.

Also, remember to have the humility to ask permission from the person or being on which you perform this therapy, or your Higher Self.

The intention is always fundamental, so always try to express your wishes about the person or being who receives the treatment.

And make good use of the energy of the Universe.
