New Reiki Symbols: What Are They and Why Are They Helpful Now?

 By Ariel F. Hubbard, Reiki Master Teacher, H.H.P.

Reiki Symbols are holographic energy transmitters that bring a particular energy wherever a Reiki Practitioner draws them.  When they are drawn, Reiki energy appears in that location.  They are not two-dimensional, or even three-dimensional, but rather, multi-dimensional.  When they are placed over a client, or in a room, they work just the way Reiki works: they assess the energy in the location, and seek to clear, detoxify, balance, charge and harmonize it.  They only work for the highest good, go to where they are needed, and switch off when the energy is no longer needed.

Up until recently, Reiki Practitioners only used a very few Reiki Symbols to assist in their Reiki treatments.  However, new Reiki Symbols have been created that assist with the healing of organs and emotions, as well as a variety of other issues.  These Symbols are powerful and can be quite innovative in their ability to assist a health practitioner with their clients.  

The new Symbols may cause some controversy, however.  There are a variety of Reiki schools, varying from the traditional to the ethereal.  Different Reiki Symbols are taught and used by different schools of Reiki.  People who are more traditional may have some difficulty accepting that new Symbols are being brought forth by Reiki Masters.

But are the Symbols really "new?"  New to us, perhaps, but are they actually ancient.  When we look at Reiki for the spiritually-directed, universal life force energy that it is, then we need to accept that it has existed all over the world, and the universe, for all time.  That means that other cultures and species also have used Reiki as a healing energy in different locations and in different times than just the recent past. 

Many Reiki Masters recall using Reiki in other incarnations, and in other cultures.  The author, for instance, has recalled using them in ancient Egypt, where they were inscribed on obelisks.  They were not in the language of the time, but rather, were Reiki Symbols used for very specific healing purposes, just as the Hindus use mantras for specific purposes.  There were thousands of Symbols on those obelisks.  They were also recorded on scrolls and were stored at the the Library at Alexandria.  But when Egypt was invaded and the library was burned, they were lost, until now.

Now, Reiki Master Teachers are cross-training each other in the new Symbols.  Their students are also bringing through Reiki Symbols.  The Reiki Guides have even given a method to attune students so that when they bring through their Symbols, they will be activated with Reiki.  Schools are teaching the new Reiki Symbols.

And what of the Symbols themselves?  Students trained in the new Symbols report that their energy is positive, powerful and helpful.  They report that the Symbols support them in treating their clients for specific emotional, spiritual and physical health issues.  It is time to recover the knowledge that was lost and to share it.

Massage:  It’s A Necessity, Not A Luxury

By Ariel F. Hubbard, Holistic Health Practitioner

Most of us look at our budgets, and then we cross our therapeutic massage treatments off our list.  What we don’t realize is how important therapeutic massage is to our overall health and how this inexpensive preventative method that can pay off big in the long run.

One of the biggest challenges to our health in the early 21^st century is stress.  We probably face more stress than our predecessors did. Even though our lifestyle has become easier in some ways, it has become more challenging in others.  The speed at which we move and the challenges that we face every day (like driving traffic, working long hours on the computer and being on the telephone) stress our bodies in ways that they were not engineered to handle.  Our bodies are wonderful because they compensate for all of our activities, but sometimes they need help.

Stress has also been shown to be the cause of many health problems, and one of the best ways to handle it is to have a balance of rest/relaxation and activity in your life.  During a therapeutic massage, your therapist massages your muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, organs, skin, joints, and sometimes your bones.  Massage introduces oxygen to places that might not have been receive adequate supply, and thus brings healing to that area.  Here are some things you may not know about massage.  Massage improves your immune function, so you don’t get sick as often.  It improves your ability to tolerate pain and stress.  It may stop a cold or flu before they start by detoxifying the body.  It helps broken bones heal faster and improves posture and intestinal regularity.  It has also been proven many times to improve your outlook on life and your mood.

Feeling good makes you more productive at work, in your relationships and in your creative pursuits.  Feeling balanced helps you be more aware of the direction in your life.  Feeling relaxed gives you an entire new foundation from which to approach life.  Make time in your life for massage.  Your investment will return to you many times over.
