October 21, 2012

Reiki symbols are basically words from Japanese language that play an important role in Reiki practice. These symbols are used by advanced Reiki practitioners and can help in focusing or channeling the Reiki energies for improvement of specific situations. The symbols can be activated either by visualizing them mentally, drawing the symbol on the palm of your hands or speaking the name of the symbol loudly to your own or others. The three primary symbols used in traditional Reiki are power symbol or CKR (power symbol), SHK (mental or emotional healing symbol) and HSZSN (distance healing symbol).
Here, Reiki Emotional or Mental Symbol SHK is explained in detail.

Meaning of S-H-K

The name “SHK” means “The earth and sky meet” or “God and Man become one”.
This Reiki symbol acts on a person’s conscious mind (the mental body) and subconscious mind (emotional body), and is used primarily for emotional and mental healing, clearing, purification, protection and balancing. This symbol is known as the Mental and Emotional Healing Symbol, but it plays an important role in providing protection, so it’s also often called the Protection Symbol.
Most of our ailments are caused by mental and emotional imbalance in our bodies. The use of the emotional healing symbol helps in bringing the problem to the surface and liberates emotional and mental issues that cause of the problem. This symbol also aids in balancing the left and right side of the brain and promotes peace and harmony. The use of SHK proves to be highly beneficial in drawing gentle and subtle energies required to ease feeling of sorrow or suffering in a person.

How to Use the Reiki Emotional / Mental Symbol

Different practitioners use the Reiki mental and emotional symbol in different ways. For example, the practitioner draws the CKR (the power symbol) to create a connection with the Reiki energy source. SHK is then drawn over the troubled area where the Reiki energies are required. The energies are sealed by drawing the power symbol or CKR again. This sustains the effect of SHK for a longer time.
