Master Symbol

And so we come to the Master symbol, or in the Ministry usage, symbols. We shall use DKM as shorthand for either one, and R for the symbol within the symbol that some use only for attunements. As a bit of trivia, Mrs. Takata didn't use R.

Time/Distance Symbol...3rd

This symbol is the main reason that I wanted to do Reiki, to access totally inaccessible memories that I knew were part of a set of programs that were not optimum in my life. It worked, I must add. The symbol is written in kanji and the translations vary.

Mrs. Takata summarizes it as "The Buddha in me sees the Buddha in you." This is a Japanese version of the Hindu, Namaste, "The divinity in me greets the divinity in you."

When you’ve been doing any of the Reikis for a few years you suddenly realize that you have discovered ways to use the symbols that weren’t in your manual back when you agonized over the bits and pieces of the Time Distance Symbol as you tried to learn to draw it.

And those who have access to healing modalities other than Usui Reiki find that it pops up during their sessions in very interesting ways, and is a sort of Swiss Army Knife in its versatility. Body Talk workers and Runists for example find their Reiki hands turning on during sessions.
