Cho ku rei (cho koo ray) (long o in cho ) is the Usui power boost mantra and symbol to increase the power of Reiki . This energy calls in higher universal energy and accelerates Reiki from low to high and gives greater power and focus to the energy .Power boost is used with the other energies as well as by itself during all treatments hands on or distance. This energy has been used to clear rooms and crystals and to charge food and water.
As a Buddhist term this refers to the nature and organization of reality and to the emergence of substance from the void of potential.

HARMONY The Mental and Emotional Healing Symbol Sei He Ki

The mental emotional healing function Usui mantra is sei he ki (say hay key) . The mental emotional function is used to facilitate emotional and mental healing and to assist self programming and treating addictions and habits as well as all other mental and emotional concerns, it is said to work on the subconscious. Some teachers use it on the first 4 chakras only and some use it on all positions The mental/emotional healing shakti or function helps to balance the right and left sides of the brain, and is often used for healing unwanted habits or for programming in desired habits.

CONNECTION The Distance Healing Symbol Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen

The Usui distance function mantra is hon sha ze sho nen (hawn shaw zay show nen). and it is used for sending the energies hands off , for absentee healing and treating Issues from the past including past life issues distant healing can bridge time and space, allowing you to send healing energy across a room, or around the world to heal past wounds .(yes the number eleven is missing from this example though the entire symbol is shown. One problem with images of this symbol is that some people have mistaken the number eleven for part of the symbol.}
The Distance energy attunement also gives you the ability to use all the Reiki energies for hands off treatments at any distance at all .. you can use this energy long distance and to beam the energies to someone in the room , this is especially useful in treating children and animals , in treating yourself on areas you can not reach and when in public or anyplace where a hands on treatment might be impractical.

EMPOWERMENT The Spiritual Empowerment or Master Symbol Dai Ku Myo

Third Degree Reiki adds the mantra and symbol Dai Ko Myo or dai ku myo (dye koo myo, (mm yoh long o )Self empowerment, Intuition, Creativity , and Spiritual connection it enables recognition and clarity about your true path. Less is known about this most powerful of the Reiki energy functions because until quite recently there have been very few people empowered to use it so it is still somewhat unexplored . It activates a powerful energy for Self Empowerment it is used for opening Spiritual connection and intuition and cellular healing .once you are attuned for this energy I recommend using it for treating yourself and others each time you activate Reiki . It is said to work at the cellular and genetic levels and is valuable for treating Migraine Headaches. Many people have found that the Reiki Attunement particularly to this Reiki tool increases the intuitive and psychic awareness that they can comfortably access.

I have heard this called the vocational or life purpose mode because it often seems to initiate dramatic changes in career and lifestyle. It is also used as a Manifestation energy by some as is Cho Ku Rei the power boost from second degree Reiki . to use for manifestation you activate this energy and clearly visualize what you intend to manifest this will not bring you things that are not in accord with your high self and soul purpose.

The Dai ku Myo is also known as the Master Symbol. This is the energy that the Reiki master activates to do the Attunements that make the Reiki energies permanently accessible to the new practitioner .Many Reiki Masters do a non master three a attunement that activates the Dai ku myo as the spiritual intuitive energy but does not give the ability to do attunements.

The Dai Ku Myo is in Buddhist teaching the representation of unlimited potential and of all spiritual teachings and natural laws of the universe All of the functions which have been added to variations of Reiki are actually contained in the Dai Ku Myo.

I personally think that these symbols were not ever considered secret by Dr Usui but were in fact matter of fact activation's of intent by someone well versed in Buddhist esoteric meanings this is my personal opinion based on a 30 year Buddhist practice. Cho-Ku-rei (organizing the essence of the spiritual life force) hon sha ze sho nen (living correctly without barriers, universal right action) Dai ku myo ( the great essence of all sacred laws) I was not familiar with Sei he Ki before.

These are not my words. I just c/p'd them. I stand firmly in my belief that you do not need a Master to be a Reiki.

I suggest, to anyone who is interested, meditating on these symbols. KNOW them.

When I give a Reiki treatment, I always cover the ENTIRE body... not just the affected area. There's a lot of info out there online that can guide you along this path if it is one you choose for yourself.
