The type of reiki stone I chose to use:

Dog Tooth Amethyst
Is one of the most powerful forms of amethyst,  the stone of inner wisdom. Peaceful, centered awareness. Enhances psychic & mental abilities & beauty. Helps overcome addictions. Protects in stressful situations, from psychic attack, from geopathic & electronic pollution.

Cho ku rei: The power symbol

Increases the power of the energy flow. It can be used anytime during a session. Many practitioners use it in the beginning to get a “power boost”, and in the end to seal the healing energies.

Other uses of this symbol:

• Provide protection on all levels (physical, verbal or emotional confrontation, psychic attack, etc).
• Beneficial for spot treatment: using this symbol help direct Reiki energy to a particular spot that requires healing.
• Helps create a positive atmosphere by clearing away all negative energies.
• Provide power to other Reiki symbols when drawn before and/or after them.
• Helps Enhance both personal and business relationships.

Sei he ki: The harmony symbol

It is basically a harmony symbol or a peacemaker. It is used to balance both the right and left side of the brain, thereby bringing in peace, internally and externally.

This symbol is usually used to:

• Heal problems (mental / emotional) such as depression, nervousness, anger or sadness.
• Improve memory.
• Aid in healing addictions such as smoking, alcohol or drugs.
• Help find lost objects.
• Help heal headaches caused primarily due to emotional or mental stress.

Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen

It is primarily used to send Reiki to others at a distance. Distance is not a barrier when using this symbol, and a practitioner can send healing energies to people across the room, across town, or even to the other side of the world.

This symbol can be used to:

• Treat future situations: sending Reiki to any future event or activity using this symbol will help bring the best outcome for the situation.
• Heal the past: using this symbol helps in healing traumatic experiences or even problems that stem from past lives.
• Help keep the body, mind and spirit in harmony.
• Channel energy to distant people or situations.

Dai Ko Myo

The Dai Ko Myo is the symbol with the highest vibration and is therefore most transformative at the spiritual level. Using this symbol helps enhance the healing of the soul as the energies are sent to the more subtle layers of the aura and upper chakras. When the spiritual soul is healed, the mental and physical get healed automatically. The Dai Ko Myo symbol also helps heal our karma. Known as “all purpose healing” symbol and “empowerment” symbol, this Reiki symbol represents all that is Reiki, including personal empowerment and love.

This symbol can be used to :

• To open channels during Reiki attunement and attune those who want to become Reiki practitioners.
• Helps enhance the connection between the practitioner and universal energies and helps heal the soul.
• Heals the chakras, the aura and any disease that initiates from our subconscious beliefs.
• Helps provide enlightenment and become more psychic and intuitive.
