i found this on a website and someone is making cards using reiki symbols but they aren't attuned to them. My view is it is unfair as we get certified. not to mention other symbosl being used without actual consent. when i said my view i got told to.... something off!
they believe you don't have to be traine din anything to use the symbols or pay to be certified.
anyone know the laws on using these symbols and if they can be stopped?
see what you think. Id like it banned myself but that is my opinion. i feel it's wrong and unfair when i trained to be certified and they are laughing as if to say hey i can do what i want.
RE: bad usage of aincient symbols
Have you posted the right link, mardigras? This one is to a page in French, which I am mainly able to understand but some members may not.
I see one or two Reiki symbols there, but the majority are not.
As to whether or not they 'should' be used in this way ... I'd say that's debatable, as indeed it has been in a discussion here a while ago about Reiki symbols being used as tattoos, and whether THAT is OK or not.
They are said to be SACRED, not SECRET, so I shall be interested to see what others think.

RE: bad usage of aincient symbols
Hi,
I have been trained in Reiki, but as an interest rather than using it commercially. I feel that, as Holistic says, they are sacred symbols...not secret and it is about your intention...if it is good, then why not use it.
From what I can tell from the site, with my wife's interpretation, they are not asking for any money, so it is merely information and a way of healing....I have no problem with that, better that than some websites I have seen, its all for the good.

A trained and certified mathematician uses ancient symbols(they may even revere and consider them sacred) but would probably laugh if someone did what you are talking about withtheir symbols. Without the training, the meaning and understanding of the maths and formulas,whichthe symbols represent, is out of reach.
It is what the symbols represent which is sacred and not the symbols themselves. You are trained and certified so you can go beneath the surface of these symbols and understand and use what they represent as energy.
Which is more important?

[sm=nature-smiley-008.gif]Have to admit your reply says it all. Well said.
RE: bad usage of aincient symbols
Mr Firstlight, IMO, you've hit the nail on the head.
The symbols are nobody's possession. They adorn buildings andcan be seen in designs all over the world. The website in question is just producing card images that people can use (apparently free of charge) as a sort of Healing Oracle deck.
As already said, it is the meaning and intention behind that symbols for the individual using them that matters.
I can't see anything wrong with it, although they could have included all the reiki symbols rather than just a couple. 😀
Love and Reiki Hugs
RE: bad usage of ancient symbols
Not seen the site as at work, but presumably Reiki people can also use the cards to help them remember the symbols and give ideas as to where they can be used - I've got a set of Chakra cards for that reason!!

ok thanks

Hi Mardigras,
As has been said above the symbols are sacred (ie respected) and not secret (ie hidden).
Some of the symbols formthe name of the Supreme Deity in some of the Japanese religions and so, cannot be secret.
Mikao Usui used the symbols as one of theways to promote his personal development (healing?) technique. It is only the later transmission through Dr Hayashi and Mrs Takata that the supposed secrecy of the symbolswere taught.
The symbols (and not necesssarily the 'true' calligraphy) have been indicated in many books published. Practise withthe symbols you have been taught to use and believe inYOUR intent that they will work in the wayYOU intend them to.
Love& Light

How very true. Secret symbols, I think not. Sacred, a matter for individuals,
RE: bad usage of aincient symbols
I have been trained to reiki and I curently sell the main symbols on palm stone sets for anyone 'practising' reiki. I might add they are not cheap representations either and the stones I use are high quality!!
I do agree that someone who is untrained should not be making and selling these, but thats just my view on it.
Many people will say that I should not be making these items either again thats their point of view.
This is my lively hood, this is what I do sell reiki supplies!!! And of course healing as often as I can...
