The Reiki Symbols - Ongoing Research

The Reiki symbols (shirushi in Japanese) have been the source of great interest and much discussion over the years. In this E-book you will find examples of the symbols, their jumon or mantras, and information concerning their significance and status within Reiki. You will also find information concerning: the Buddhist significance of three of the symbols; links between some of the symbols and Japanese ’new religions’; various attempts to link the symbols to unrelated belief-systems; views as to how the symbols came to be incorporated into Reiki; and also the kanji and / or katakana written forms of their jumon, along with guides to their proper pronunciation, and actual meanings.
