REIKI PROTECTION 

Can we use CHO KU REI to protect ourselves? 

1.        Some people also use CHO KU REI for protection. For protection, draw the symbol on a piece of paper and place it on or under things you want filled with Reiki or mentally visualize or invoke it. 

2.        You can visualize or imagine the Symbol surrounding you. Draw the symbol in front and in back over and on both sides of yourself.  

3.        Draw it over food and water before you eat and drink. 

4.         You can also visualize or draw it over your head before meditation or meditate on the symbols themselves.  

5.        Draw the CHO KU REI on the shower head prior to taking a shower so that the water is filled with Reiki as it cleanses you.  

6.        Run Reiki into your bath tub and all items in your bathroom and toilet.  

7.        Draw it over flower essences, essential oils or shampoo and other personal care items. 

8.        Protect yourself from negative energies (from people you treat or people you meet). Draw or visualize the Reiki Power symbol in front of you with the intent of being totally protected.  

9.        Protect yourself, your children, your spouse, your house and other things you value. (Draw Cho ku Rei directly on the object/person you want to protect with the intent to protect him/her/it from harm.) Since Reiki works on all different levels of existence it will naturally also give protection on all levels of existence. 

10.     One can use the Power symbol to close a space around the receiver and to stop the energies received to disappear from the body. (Draw it above the body with the intention of sealing the healing process.)  

11.    For protection, draw it on a piece of paper and place it on or under things (pillow, bed, mattress, bed sheet and etc., etc,) you want filled with reiki.   

Can we use SHK and the CKR for physical and spiritual protection? 

1.      You feel very tense or are afraid of something unknown. What you can do is simply draw this symbol Sei He Ki around yourself, perhaps saying something like ''I protect myself now with divine love and wisdom''. Use the symbol on each side of you, behind, above, below you and in front of you, and repeat the words. As you do so, you should feel the protective energy begin to develop around you. It will tend to harmonize any negative vibrations that will be coming from others. 

2.      Another way to give yourself protection is to visualize a golden egg shaped energy field around you with the Sei He Ki moving around the surface of the egg, starting at your feet and working its way around the golden egg and upwards in an spiral form until it reaches the top of your head.  

3.      Do the same with CKR. Often at work or even at home we deal with people who we like to think of as our friends but sometimes there are negative feelings that come up and it is very valuable to be able to protect our selves and harmonize the situation by using Reiki.  

How to make a pyramid protection? 

You are having a fight with your boy friend, husband, wife, mother-in-law or any enemy, if you have one; use Sei He Ki as a shield. Draw a pyramid or triangle with-- 

1.      1^st side Cho Ku Rei,  

2.      2^nd side Sei He Ki and  

3.      3^rd side Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen and put yourself inside it.  

4.      This will be your perfect protection triangle. 

Reiki 2 golden protection 

Reiki Spirit Energizer and Golden Egg Meditation  

This is a modification of a Taoist breathing technique I learned about MANY years ago. It involves using focusing on the energy, and then allowing it to form an "egg" around us for protection and energizing the spirit. This practice was very easy to adapt to using with Reiki and it is a wonderful practice that will leave you feeling charged with energy, love and protection.  

1. Sit in a comfortable chair with your back straight. Place the hands in the Gassho position. Namaste or prayer position 

2. Connect to the Reiki Energy. Do this by focusing on the energy, or drawing the Cho Ku Rei Symbol into your energy field. You may want to perform the Reiki Energy Field Cleansing above as well.  

3. Begin by breathing in deep breaths through the nose and out through the mouth. Visualize the Reiki Energy as a White Mist or White Light, and breathe in pure energy and breathing out all the toxins and all things negative. See the breath going out as slightly black and cloudy. (This energy is transmuted in the Reiki light and is changed back to light.)  

4. Let your awareness expand, first within you, then outside you and then to the entire universe. Focus on the energy of the universe, all the stars, the planets, and everything. Now as you breathe in the Reiki energy, focus on breathing in the energy in the universe, pulling it into you, energizing you, filling you completely. Let yourself be filled with the peaceful loving energy of the universe. (Take as much time as you need here.)  

5. Now as you breathe in the Reiki energy, slowly change the image to breathing in peace. Think of the feeling of peace, and concentrate on breathing in that peaceful feeling. Let this fill you completely. When you breathe out send that out to every part of the universe.  

6. Now see the color of the Reiki Energy turn Golden. See or visualize breathing in this pure golden light. See it entering into your lungs, and then spreading out throughout your whole body. Do this for 9 breaths.  

7. Begin normally, in and out through the nose. Now, see this golden light pool at the base of the spine and see a golden thread from the base of your spine to the crown of your head. See this golden thread the thickness of a wire. Breathe for 9 breaths. Mentally begin to expand the thickness of the golden wire to about the thickness of a pencil. Feel the golden light from the tip of the spine to the crown of your head.  

8. Now again expand the thickness of the golden light to the thickness of a finger running from the crown of your head to the base of the spine.  

9. Now, see the light expand to a column of light running from the base of the spine to the top of the head.  

10. Let the column of beautiful golden light and slowly expand it in size until it completely surrounds you. Sit peacefully surrounded by the beautiful golden light.  

11. Slowly shape the golden light into an oval. Make it into a golden egg that surrounds you completely. The golden egg surrounds you and protects you, but it strengthens you also. The inside of the egg shimmers with energy, and fills you, and strengthens your aura, energizing you.  

12. Sit in the egg as long as you like, and when you are finished, begin retracting the golden egg. First back into a golden column, and then slowly shrink the column back to the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Then make the column the thickness of a finger. And then shrink it to the thickness of a pencil, and finally to the thickness of a single strand of golden wire.  

13. Now draw the energy of the golden strand of wire up the spine over the crown of the head and focus it at a point where the third eye is (between the eyebrows). Hold it there for 9 breaths and then draw the golden dot through the head, into the mouth and down through the stomach and into the lower abdomen, letting it slowly dissolve.  

14. You can draw up the egg whenever you need it for energy or for protection.  

  Reiki Protection Sphere  

This  I developed for a friend who was concerned about protection and to keep negative energies out.  It uses the Reiki symbols and makes a sphere of energy around you.  The technique is easy to do and tends to work well.  Other uses are to set the sphere and meditate inside it, or to do the sphere prior to doing treatments. This is not a Traditional Reiki Technique, but one that I developed and find useful. To set the sphere:  Connect to the Reiki Energy.  Draw the Cho Ku Rei to the six directions around your body (north, south, east, and west, up and down.  Draw the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen above your head to place the sphere in all times and places, and finally draw the Sei Hei Ki on the third eye and the heart to free you from fear.  Finish by stating your intent for the sphere (that it protect, and remove fears) and let the reiki flow into the sphere into the three circles connecting the Cho Ku Rei.  

One of my favorite uses of the sphere is to use it to send loving energy to those who ask for distant healing. Construct the sphere and then meditate in the sphere. Use whatever distant healing technique that you feel comfortable with and send loving energy.  Using this sphere can also be a wonderful way to release your own negative emotions and stress.
