Level 3 Traini
The Attunement Process
As with level one and two of your training, this third level of study requires an attunement. This burst of
energy will continue the cleansing process started by the other attunements and by any self-healings
that you have undertaken since gaining your introductory initiation. Keeping all levels of your being clear
and free of blockages is extremely important. Doing so will allow the healing energies to flow more
freely during healing sessions. Regular upkeep will also continue to support your personal growth and
self-healing.
For this level of study, you will again experience a single attunement. However, the energies actually
being sent by me will be made up of five new Reiki frequencies. As with the previous attunements, each
of these vibrations has a different feeling, flavor, and purpose.
The healing frequencies you have so far are Choku Rei, Sei Heki, and Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen. These are all
energies associated with the traditional form of Reiki, Usui Reiki Ryoho. Eastern Tradition Reiki.
The energies you will be receiving today are from several Reiki variations. Western Tradition Reiki. These
frequencies would not have been part of the original tradition of Master Usui. However, I find that I
often use these five energies during Reiki sessions. For this reason, I think that you’ll find these energies
quite useful in your own healing sessions.
The first frequency you will be receiving is called Zonar (pronounced Zoe-Nar). It’ commonly called the
infinity or eternity symbol. Zonar seeks to clarify issues and clear unhealthy blockages that impede
personal growth. This characteristic makes this wave of energy very useful for neutralizing emotional
trauma. It’s also very effective for working through karmic attachments and past life issues.
Now, I have to warn you that the feeling of the Infinity symbol can be somewhat disconcerting. I
personally experience this energy as a spinning, drawing in, or deepening which can be quite nauseating.
Terror, alarm, and intense emotional release are also commonly experienced. Be warned, this is an
extremely powerful symbol that often brings out hidden issues which can be quite overwhelming both
to your client and to yourself when felt empathically.
The next frequency you will experience is Harth. It is one of my favorites. As pure unconditional love this
energy is a joy to experience both as a client and a practitioner. There’s a deep feeling of peace with a
slight humming, twitchiness, or static electricity quality.
This is a compassionate symbol seeks to restore love to the client’s life. Thus, this energy encourages the
release of unhealthy, unloving habits or addictions while healing relationships and learning to love
oneself unconditionally. Since the majority of us could use more unconditional love experiences, this is
an important addition to your healing repertoire.
The third frequency you will experience is called (pronounced Mar-Ah), Abiding Joy. This symbol is a
grounding mechanism, best used at the end of a hands-on session to ground the client.
In addition to grounding, Mara tends to clear blockages, especially in the lower chakras. This energy can
also be used to cleanse crystals, clear rooms, and release negativity from inanimate objects.
2
Level 3 Traini
Mara seems to work best from the third eye downwards. First, attention seems to be drawn to the
forehead area. Then, the vision blurs slightly. Finally, there is a slight squeezing experience.
The fourth Reiki frequency in this attunement will be Halu (pronounced Hah-Loo). The Harmony symbol
which is used for opening up to a higher consciousness.
I find that Harmony is very rarely used during sessions with clients. It is however, very important when
exploring self-development or while undertaking a spiritual journey. This is due to its inherent
properties to open up and clear the connection to the higher self and breaking up deeply rooted
patterns of denial and self-delusion.
Halu actually contains the Zonar symbol with a little extra. To me, the bothersome effects usually
experienced with Zonar energies are substantially decreased when using Halu. To me, Halu frequency
feels more like a dull ache. There is also an obvious feeling that something is being drawn away.
The final frequency in this attunement is the Reversed Choku Rei. It serves very much like the regular
version of Choku Rei but draws from the earth rather than the Godhead. This gives the frequency a
slightly heavier feeling.
You may have noticed that several times when referring to these five Reiki frequencies that I used the
word symbol. To this point, we have been referring to the various Reiki energies as flavors and simply
allowing the waves to intuitively flow as needed. However, in this level of training, you will be learning
the symbolic representations (written symbol and the associated mantra) of each of the energies you
have in your healing repertoire. This will allow you to call forth particular symbols during a healing
session, fine-tuning the process.

Level 3 Traini
Level Three Attunement
Throughout this third level attunement, I am going to talk about what I am doing on my end. This will
give you valuable insight into the process. If you like, you can also it somewhat like a guided imagery,
imagining in your mind’s eye what I’m doing to promote mindfulness.
Before I start the actual attunement, please find a quiet place will you will not be disturbed for the next
thirty minutes. Get comfortable. Take a few deep breathes.
Okay, I am starting by placing my hands on the top of your head. For a moment, I close my eyes and take
a few deep breaths to center myself. Calming my mind and focusing my intention on unconditional love
and the healing that comes with such depths of love and acceptance.
Now, I am drawing the master symbol over your crown. Repeating the name 3 times. Dai Ko Myo Dai Ko
Myo Dai Ko Myo.
This master symbol moves into your crown and down into the base of your skull. This serves as a key to
begin the process. In essence, the master symbol awakens your inherent healing abilities.
I ask that you now raise your hands to the top of your head. Hands side by side. Palms facing upwards.
I am now drawing the Zonar in the air above your hands. This symbol moves through your hands, into
your crown chakra, and down into the base of your skull.
Again, I say the symbol mantra three times. Zonar. Zonar. Zonar. This awakens and permanently embeds
this healing frequency into your being. Having the symbol move through your hands begins the process
of clearing the channel you will be used during Reiki healing sessions.
Now, I do the same with each of the other symbols. First Harth. Harth. Harth. Hartha.
Then, Mara. Mara. Mara. Mara.
Next Halo. Halo. Halo. Halo.
Finally, Reversed Choku Rei. Reversed Choku Rei. Reversed Choku Rei. Reversed Choku Rei.
Now, you can take your hands down and place your hands on your lap. Hands flat with the palms
upwards.
I am now drawing the Zonar symbol in front of your third eye. As I repeat Zonar. Zonar. Zonar, the
symbol is moving into the third eye chakra.
Now, I do the same with each of the other symbols. First Harth. Harth. Harth. Hartha.
Then, Mara. Mara. Mara. Mara.
Next Halo. Halo. Halo. Halo.
Finally, Reversed Choku Rei. Reversed Choku Rei. Reversed Choku Rei. Reversed Choku Rei.
4
Level 3 Traini
Now, I am doing the same process in the air above your hands. Drawing the symbol. Zonar. Zonar.
Zonar. The symbol moving into your hands.
Now, the other four symbols. First Harth. Harth. Harth. Hartha.
Then, Mara. Mara. Mara. Mara.
Next Halo. Halo. Halo. Halo.
Finally, Reversed Choku Rei. Reversed Choku Rei. Reversed Choku Rei. Reversed Choku Rei.
Cup your hands together and move them in front of your heart. I draw Zonar and blow the symbol over
your hands and into your heart chakra.
As I do so, the energy proceeds up to through your third eye and crown chakras then back down into the
solar plexus chakra and back to your hands.
Now, I do the same with each of the other symbols. First Harth. Over your hands and into your heart
chakra.
Then, Mara. Over your hands and into your heart chakra.
Next Halo. Over your hands and into your heart chakra.
Finally, Reversed Choku Rei. Over your hands and into your heart chakra.
Looking down into your crown chakra, I imagine seeing right into your heart chakra. Here I place an
affirmation into your heart chakra. You are a confident, conscientious healer. You are a confident,
conscientious healer. You are a confident, conscientious healer.
Now, I bring my hands together, placing your thumbs at the base of your skull. I now seal this process
with Divine Love and Wisdom. In my mind’s eye, I picture a door with the Zonar symbol being closed and
locked as the Zonar frequency is permanently imbedded into your being.
Now, I do the same with each of the other symbols. First Harth. I picture a door with the Harth symbol
being closed and locked as the Harth frequency is permanently imbedded into your being.
Then, Mara. I picture a door with the Mara symbol being closed and locked as the Mara frequency is
permanently imbedded into your being.
Next Halo. I picture a door with the Halo symbol being closed and locked as the Halo frequency is
permanently imbedded into your being.
Finally, Reversed Choku Rei. I picture a door with the Reversed Choku Rei symbol being closed and
locked as the Reversed Choku Rei frequency is permanently imbedded into your being.
I now place my palms on your shoulders. We are both blessed by this process.
Place your hands on your thighs and take a few deep breaths. The third level attunement is now
complete. With that said, please take some time to just breathe and take in the process. I find that the
energies tend to continue to move through and cleanse the chakras for some time. For this reason, it is
important for you to take the full half hour to relax and embrace the experience.
5
Level 3 Traini
Whenever you are ready, you can open your eyes. I highly suggest that you drink a glass of water and
take some time to relax and be kind to yourself. As soon as possible undertake a self-healing session to
smooth these newly acquired energies.
6
Level 3 Traini
Scanning
By this level of training, it is assumed that you have become comfortable with the notion of letting the
Reiki energies do their job without your interference or influence. Likely, you are also becoming more
natural and intuitive in regards to the presence of dis-ease and differences between the various healing
frequencies during a session. You may also have had experiences where you felt drawn to work on
certain parts of the body. You are now going to learn how to expand your intuitive abilities and make
use of them for the best possible outcome.
By far, the most useful tool for locating anomalies in an individual’s system is scanning. Scanning, as the
name implies, involves examining the body for possible problem zones. After locating the areas of
greatest need, you can then tailor your healing session to meet these requirements. In this way, you can
choose to ignore certain hand positions in favor of others or you may limit your efforts to particular
regions. You may also decide to use advanced techniques (learned later in this level) such as the use of
symbols to direct particular Reiki frequencies to certain spots or aura therapy to break down difficult
blockages.
The actual process of scanning is fairly straightforward in practice. Simply place your outstretched hands
about 3-5 inches from your clients’ body. Then, slowly move your hands across and down the entire
length of the individual’s whole person. Be sure to keep about 3-5 inches away from the person’s
clothing, just outside the physical aura, for the best results.
My daughter aptly describes this process as being like a laser printer scanning an image. Essentially, this
is what you are doing, feeling the aura so that you can comprehend the detail of the entire physical
being. To me, that’s exactly what scanning feels like too. I tend to feel a slight magnetic pull as my hands
move over the body.
Normally, as I scan, I note anything out of the ordinary. Evidence of blockages and other remnants of
dis-ease (or even the potential of such) can be easily located using this technique. I find that often
problem areas will have distinct temperature changes associated with them. Sometimes, there is even a
distinct feeling of a change in texture, a difference in color, or an odd tonal resonance. As an empath, I
generally experience nausea, pain, or emotional disruptions in these areas.
7
Level 3 Traini
Reiki Symbols
As I mentioned earlier, each of the Reiki energy frequencies can be expressed by a symbol and its
associated mantra. Generally speaking, these symbols have been looked upon as sacred. Some
practitioners believe that these representations should be kept secret and should only be transmitted
from master to student, without ever being written. Others, like myself, believe that the benefits of the
unconditional love of Reiki should be a gift that is shared with anyone who wishes to learn.
Often Reiki masters teach symbols in a level two course. I personally find that the amount of
information given in level two is already quite extensive, requiring much practice to master. I think that
adding the symbols at this point can be too much all at once. My first master, Richard Rivard, taught the
course in four levels and I found his structure flowed very nicely.
Of course, Reiki is always best channeled through the practitioner with the energy flowing freely for the
best possible outcome. I find that often, once students learn the symbols, they begin to use them
extensively in their sessions. Without the experience of letting the energies do their job naturally and
allowing intuition to guide the frequency and placements of the healing, new practitioners can
unknowingly reduce their own effectiveness. Thus, I prefer to hold off teaching about symbols until after
students are confident and comfortable with their natural abilities.
For the most part, I highly suggest letting the healing energy flow without any interference. However, at
times, you may feel a pull or a hint of a suggestion in your mind that a certain area requires additional
care. Alternately, you might feel the need to draw a symbol or repeat the mantra of a particular symbol.
For the greatest benefit, you can do both.

Reiki Symbols Uses
Symbols can be used:
To assist in a healing
To create a field of protective energy
To create a field of harmonising energy
To fill a space in order to create harmony and cooperation
To assist in changing habits
To draw or magnetize something to you

Level 3 Traini
Placing Reiki Symbols
Before, we get started, please note that for your easy reference, I have created an illustrated booklet of
all the symbols for this program and made it available in a downloadable pdf. You can find this little
booklet in the level four training area.
There are several ways to place symbols. You can trace the actual symbol on the skin with your finger
during the session. I find that this can sometimes be a little distracting for clients, who start to conjure
up images of faith healing when viewing these kinds of actions.
Some practitioners draw symbols in the air (or on a handy piece of paper) before their client arrives.
Then, the healer needs only to grab the symbol from the air or paper and place it in the necessary spot.
Others use their minds to mentally move these images to the afflicted area.
Once you have ingrained the symbols into your mind, I highly suggest using the method I tend to use. In
my mind’s eye, I draw the required symbol while repeating the associated mantra in my head three
times. Then, when I see the symbol start to glow, I direct the image to the appropriate location.
For problem areas, you can magnify any frequency by first placing the Power symbol (Choku Rei), then
the symbol that you wish to magnify, and then the Power symbol once again. You can get a similar but
slightly finer quality by doubling up a particular symbol.
I was taught that symbols should be practiced until you could draw them perfectly without a single flaw.
I completely agree that you should not try to use any symbol on a client until you know how to recreate
a particular image without error. Be aware that even adding an extra line or forgetting a curve could
completely change the meaning of what you are drawing. This could adversely affect your healing
effectiveness.
With this said, much can be determined about the client through the tiny flaws of a drawn symbol.
Often unconscious errors such as a little dip, a lump, or extra thickness in the lines may coincide with
very specific problems in the physical body of the individual being worked upon. These indicators are
often positioned as if the entire symbol were a representation of the physical body and the defect
indicating the physical location of the problem.

Level 3 Traini
The Eastern Tradition Symbols
It has been said that originally Master Usui taught his students three symbols: Choku Rei, Sei Heki, and
Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen. His master students also received a forth Master symbol. With this final symbol,
the new master could attune his or her own students to Reiki.
Symbols directly represent particular healing frequencies. As such, each of these images has its
individual strengths and uses. Associated with each is a mantra, which is essentially the name of the
character repeated three times as the image is drawn.
In this course, you will learn the first three Eastern Tradition symbols: Choku Rei, Sei Heki, and Hon Sha
Ze Sho Nen. The Master symbol, enabling you to teach and attune your own students, will be taught in
the next level of study.
The first symbol is Choku Rei (pronounced Cho-Koo Ray). It is that all purpose frequency that you
acquired in your very first Reiki attunement. Power or Focus.
As I mentioned before, Choku Rei that can be used alone or to magnify the effects of the other Reiki. To
do so, simply draw Choku Rei, then the sybol you want magnified, and then Choku Rei once again. The
properties of the middle symbol will then be strengthened. Of course, since Choku Rei it is quite
powerful, it serves quite well as a general frequency for any sort of session.
I personally experience the Choku Rei as red with a warm to hot feeling. This naturally warm feeling
makes Choku Rei particularly useful for comfort at the physical level. Since it is also quite powerful, it
can be used to cleanse objects, clear rooms of negativity, nurture plants, or create a more relaxing bath.
11
Level 3 Traini
The next symbol is Sei Heki (pronounced Say Heh-Kee). Harmony. This was the first symbol that you
experienced in your level two attunement.
As the name suggests, this is a relaxing symbol used to calm the mind, promote balance, and reinforce
healthy habits. Sei Heki tends to work in the deeper mental and emotional layers of the being. For this
reason, it is particularly useful for treating those with emotional or mental dis-ease, individuals wishing
to work on relationships, and for clearing the mind. Gradually, over time, this energy reinforces healthy
behavior, enhances positive change, and aids in the release of ego conditioning.
I personally experience the first energy as a relaxing blue light. Sometimes, I even experience a slight
breeze. I find this particular wave of energy is very useful for calming the client so that they have a very
restful, relaxing session.
The second energy you received in your second level attunement is the Distant symbol, Hon Sha Ze Sho
Nen (pronounced Hon Shah Zeh Show Nen). Of course, this symbol gave you the ability to do Reiki over
a distance.
You may remember that unlike other Reiki frequencies, Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen works from the outer layers
of the aura and moves inward. While it is rarely used except when doing distant Reiki it is actually quite
useful in regards to releasing karmic issues.
12
Level 3 Traini
In any case, this part of the attunement which will allow you to undertake distant healings. I see this
energy as white (pure Reiki energy). When used alone this frequency seems to pulsate slightly. However,
in practice, this distant energy will almost always be used automatically (without calling for it) in
conjunction with other Reiki frequencies.
13
Level 3 Traini
The Western Tradition Symbols
Over time, a variety of frequencies have been added to the original four symbols handed down by
Master Usui. Many of these images have been borrowed from other healing traditions. Others have
been channeled by various Reiki practitioners and added to the traditional system.
The five symbols (Zonar, Harth, Mara, Halu, and the Reversed Choku Rei) that we explore in this section
are those commonly used in Reiki in the western world. Like the traditional Eastern ones, each of these
symbols has its individual strengths and uses. As before, each drawing is associated with a mantra.
Again, this mantra is essentially the name of the representation repeated three times as the character is
drawn.
The first western Reiki frequency you acquired is called Zonar (pronounced Zoe-Nar). It’ commonly
called the infinity or eternity symbol. Zonar seeks to clarify issues and clear unhealthy blockages that
impede personal growth. This characteristic makes this wave of energy very useful for neutralizing
emotional trauma. It’s also very effective for working through karmic attachments and past life issues.
Now, I have to warn you that the feeling of the Infinity symbol can be somewhat disconcerting. I
personally experience this energy as a spinning, drawing in, or deepening which can be quite nauseating.
Terror, alarm, and intense emotional release are also commonly experienced. Be warned, this is an
extremely powerful symbol that often brings out hidden issues which can be quite overwhelming both
to your client and to yourself when felt empathically.
14
Level 3 Traini
The next frequency you will experience is Harth. It is one of my favorites. As pure unconditional love this
energy is a joy to experience both as a client and a practitioner. There’s a deep feeling of peace with a
slight humming, twitchiness, or static electricity quality.
This is a compassionate symbol seeks to restore love to the client’s life. Thus, this energy encourages the
release of unhealthy, unloving habits or addictions while healing relationships and learning to love
oneself unconditionally. Since the majority of us could use more unconditional love experiences, this is
an important addition to your healing repertoire.
The third frequency you will experience is called (pronounced Mar-Ah), Abiding Joy. This symbol is a
grounding mechanism, best used at the end of a hands-on session to ground the client.
In addition to grounding, Mara tends to clear blockages, especially in the lower chakras. This energy can
also be used to cleanse crystals, clear rooms, and release negativity from inanimate objects.
Mara seems to work best from the third eye downwards. First, attention seems to be drawn to the
forehead area. Then, the vision blurs slightly. Finally, there is a slight squeezing experience.
The fourth Reiki frequency in this attunement will be Halu (pronounced Hah-Loo). The Harmony symbol
which is used for opening up to a higher consciousness.
I find that Harmony is very rarely used during sessions with clients. It is however, very important when
exploring self-development or while undertaking a spiritual journey. This is due to its inherent
15
Level 3 Traini
properties to open up and clear the connection to the higher self and breaking up deeply rooted
patterns of denial and self-delusion.
Halu actually contains the Zonar symbol with a little extra. To me, the bothersome effects usually
experienced with Zonar energies are substantially decreased when using Halu. To me, Halu frequency
feels more like a dull ache. There is also an obvious feeling that something is being drawn away.
The final frequency in this attunement is the Reversed Choku Rei. It serves very much like the regular
version of Choku Rei but draws from the earth rather than the Godhead. This gives the frequency a
slightly heavier feeling.
You may have noticed that several times when referring to these five Reiki frequencies that I used the
word symbol. To this point, we have been referring to the various Reiki energies as flavors and simply
allowing the waves to intuitively flow as needed. However, in this level of training, you will be learning
the symbolic representations (written symbol and the associated mantra) of each of the energies you
have in your healing repertoire. This will allow you to call forth particular symbols during a healing
session, fine-tuning the process.

Experiencing the Symbols
Now that you have been attuned to all but the Master symbol, it is time to experiment and get used to
these various frequencies. This will allow you to recognize when certain energies are being called upon
during an intuitive healing session. It will also help you understand a little about how each energy will
feel to your client and how he or she might react to that experience.
For this reason, it is vital that you experience each symbol in a variety of ways. First, sensing the energy
alone. Second, by drawing the symbol and experiencing the resulting energies. Third, the waves called
forth by simply saying the appropriate mantra three times. Fourth, and final, by combining the drawn
symbol and the saying the mantra three times.
Through these experimentations, you will come to see that there are distinct differences between the
various flavors of Reiki. Different colors, vibrations, or even textures. Moreover, there are even slight
variations within a particular frequency depending upon the method used.
Theoretically, you can use these differences to fine-tune as needed in healing sessions. Over time, you
will also find that you are drawn to certain techniques as they feel more natural to you. This is perfectly
fine as we all find our own distinct ways of practicing our craft. Remember that relaxation and allowing
the channel to flow is our ultimate goal. For this reason, comfort is a must.
25
Level 3 Traini
The Chakras
Before, we get started, please note that for your easy reference, I have created a booklet with details
about the chakras and made it available in a downloadable pdf. You can find this little booklet in the
level three training area.
Chakras are essentially locations on the various layers of the aura which draw in, filter, and distribute
energy throughout our being. When working efficiently, this energy supports personal growth and
healing of all of the mental, spiritual, emotional, and physical aspects of our lives. Conversely, imbalance
in these organs can lead to lack or excesses in certain personality traits and negative experiences.
Our physical body and aura contain an infinitely large number of chakras. While you are undertaking
Reiki, energy is being channeled through chakras on your hands, fingertips, and even the bottoms of
your feet. Acupuncturists and other Chinese medicine practitioners also make use of hundreds of other
smaller chakras located throughout the body. Each spot is interconnection though thousands of energy
ways or meridians. When you realize that each level of the aura contains another entirely new set of
each of these chakras, the sheer number of these energy points can be exponential.
Fortunately, for this training, we will only focus on seven of the major chakras. These organs are located
approximately down our spine from crown (top of the head) to root (the base of the spine). These are
the ones that you will likely have heard of before.
One little tidbit. When someone discusses Kundalini rising, they are essentially saying that life energy is
running freely from the base of the spine up through the various chakras until they explode through the
crown. Needless to say, it is a very powerful experience, especially when it occurs spontaneously.
26
Level 3 Traini
The Seven Main Chakras
The seven main chakras are located as follows:
Top of Head
Forehead
Throat
Heart
Solar Plexus
Stomach
Base of Spine
Each of these chakras is associated with a specific color and a variety of personality traits or
characteristics. Blockages or stagnancy in these organs tend to constrict the energy flow creating a lack
of a particular characteristic while over activation in these areas hyper accentuate these qualities
leading to excessiveness or negative personality expressions. Either extreme is unhealthy.

Chakra Activation
Chakra Kasei Koyyu ho is a traditional means of activating the chakras. This method uses the breath to
infuse Reiki energies through your body to activate the chakras. This has the added benefit of both
cleansing and activating each of the seven main chakras.
To begin, get comfortable standing, sitting, or laying. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Call
forth your Reiki energies in the usual way.
Bring your hands to your chest, palms together as if in prayer. Then, raise your hands high in the air.
Concentrate on feeling the Reiki energies entering and cleansing your entire body.
Move your hands slowly and place them on your lap. Take slow deep breaths from your abdomen. While
breathing in, visualize Reiki energies entering your crown and moving throughout your body. Feel your
whole body filled with light. Then, as you exhale, breathe out the tension and negative thoughts,
releasing them from your body. Continue this process until you are feeling relaxed.
Once you are feeling relaxed, breathe in the energy from your root chakra and send that energy to your
heart chakra. Feel the energy there. Then, breathe the energy out of the heart chakra.
Next, breathe energy in from the heart chakra and move that energy to your crown. Feel the energy
there. Then, breathe out through the crown.
Now work backwards. Breathing in through the crown, breathing out through the heart chakra. Then,
breathing in through the heart chakra and out the root chakra.
Repeat this entire sequence twice more.
Once you’ve completed this first sequence, you can move onto the other chakras. With each set, start
by breathing in through the root then out through the chakra you want to work on. Then, in through
that chakra and out through the crown. Then, back again as before.
In this way, you will do separate sets for the sacral chakra (root, sacral, crown- then reversed), throat
(root, throat, crown- then reversed), solar plexus (root, solar plexus, crown- then reversed), and third
eye (root, third eye, crown- then reversed). Be sure to do each set three times as before.
Once you’ve done all of the chakras, end with the initial set (root, heart chakra, crown). Then, bring your
hands together as if in prayer and end your session.
31
Level 3 Traini
Balancing the Chakras
The easiest way to balance the chakras is with pure white light. Simply direct pure white light into each
of the chakras moving from the base to the crown or bathe the entire body from crown to base in white
light. Alternately, you can send the appropriate color of light to each individual chakra. You can either
work on each of the chakras from base to crown in turn or you can focus on particular chakras that are
most in need of assistance.
If I am doing a chakra balancing at the end of a session, I like to charge up and then use the base chakra
to balance the rest. To do this, simply send Reiki energy to the base chakra using one or both hands held
well above the skin (5-8 inches). Once you feel the energy rotating freely, place your right hand above
the stomach chakra. Your left hand will continue to stay above the base chakra.
Likely you will notice movement of the energy to this next chakra almost immediately. Hold your hand in
place for a few moments letting the Reiki waves move freely. Then, move your right hand up to the next
chakra and continue the process to the crown. Afterwards, you can either leave the chakras open or, if
the client is especially sensitive, you can place a protective skin over each of the chakras.

Aura Surgery
Once in a while, you may come across a blockage or area of dis-ease that doesn’t seem to react to
regular Reiki treatment or even the use of symbols. Generally, this occurs if the wound is quite
entrenched or deeply hidden within scar tissue.
Sometimes, the area mushrooms into an odd shape and takes on a hard coating. I’ve even felt such
issues as a room with iron walls and padlocks on the doors. Trying to break into, reduce, and then
eliminate such monstrosities normally takes many sessions and a lot of focused attention.
In such cases, aura surgery can be extremely useful. Aura surgery, as the name suggests, is a technique
used to dig out and remove the root of the problem. This method is so powerful that an issue can be
sometimes be completely cleared with just one session.
To me, the actual technique conjures images of faith healers so I try to use it only when absolutely
necessary. To prepare for aura surgery, take a few minutes and draw the Power symbol on the palms of
each of your hands. Then, imagine the aura of your hands. Gently pull the ends of the aura of each of
your fingers about two or three inches, as if you have monster hands with very long fingers.
A few inches over the problem area, use a digging motion with one or both of your hands. In your minds’
eye, see the imbalance and excavate the entire spot until all of the matter has been removed. Be sure to
clear out the overlying aura as well as often such problems swell and distort the form.
Once you have cleansed the blockage, use your left hand to seal off the area. This can be achieved by
making a smooth chopping motion along the skin and then using the right hand to wrap any remnants
around the left hand. See these infected materials being released into nothingness.
When you are done, you can then push the aura of your fingers back into shape. I also like to take a few
moments and send pure Reiki energy to the area.
One of the major problems with this technique is that it is very easy to take on negativity and emotion
released by the client. In this way, you may experience flu-like symptoms or feel like the released issues
have been directly transferred to you. Therefore, after completing aura surgery, be sure to do a good
self-healing and cleansing.
