Reiki
A Case study on Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen Symbol
Naran
6-7 years back, a lady 40 years old met me. She was from Bombay. She came to me, only for her mother’s consultation. She had no intention to consult me. While I was consulting her mother, she said that she had a problem which she had not told anybody including her mother.
She developed an obsessive-compulsive behaviour, which makes her repeat certain actions over which she had no control.
I gave her the Bach flower remedies for that problem. Subsequently she learnt some other healing methods from me. But now and then the problem recurred. She wanted to be permanently free from this repetitive behaviour
I asked her to talk to the problem and ask it why it should prefer to stay with her.
In the night, she asked the question and entered into a dialogue with it. Remember here anything animate or inanimate has a consciousness (having a life of its own).
She told the problem to go away from her.
She remarked that it looked like gray paint. She mentally erased it, commanding it to go to Reiki source. In the night she had a dream. The object in grey colour asked her, “Why are you driving me out? Haven’t I done anything good to you?” Then she remembered that she had met me and thus got introduced to several healing methods because of this problem. It is natural for the problem to ask her, “Why are you driving me away?”
When she met me the next day and narrated the dream, I told her that if she commands, it will not go. I asked her to tell that behaviour, which looked like gray paint, in the following manner, “I have really progressed in life spiritually because of you only. Thank you for that. In turn I have to do something good for you. You need more light and energy. Therefore, I am going to send you to Reiki source”.
She drew the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen symbol and the problem disappeared.
It may look like a story to you. Please remember whatever happens to you it is for good and only for good. There would be spiritual advantages inside problems, which we can’t decipher.
We just need to say “thanks” to the problem and request it to go to a place, where there is more light and love. Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen symbol will show the path and lead the black and unwanted energy to light and love – Reiki source.
Significance of Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen Symbol
Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is the mantra given by Usui and not a Reiki symbol. Even though it is a Japanese script, it is very important.
Even though it’s used only as a connecting symbol, it has a powerful meaning behind it. Its meaning is, “I am in the right direction – I am silent to know my true nature which is shining like a light and that is Divine”.
“Be in the Present”. That is what our master Usui says. Then only you will know your true nature and eventually you will know the power of Reiki.
When you draw Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen, you will be connected to divinity. When you do it, you are connected to divinity. It doesn’t do anything else except for this connection to divinity.
Whenever there is a problem, if it is chronic, and comes again and again, say, like vertigo, then you should draw Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen symbol, to release it. Draw it over the affected part. What is the significance of this? By doing it, we are connecting the part to divinity, and place it at the feet of divinity. Then that part is connected to source of Reiki. After doing that connection, affirm to higher self to continue to do the healing. So the healing will continue even without the need of your presence
What other healing powers it has?
Whatever healing we do for others, there is a possibility that we will get contaminated to an extent. If my patient has a stomach ache, then I get stomach ache too. When you do deeper healing, then you might get something of the problem or disease.
That doesn’t mean we should be afraid. Fear should not be there while one does the healing. We heal and we should know how to release the possible contamination. We should equip ourselves to handle any contamination. We should not stop healing. That’s why I say that with awareness, we should do it. Otherwise, other person’s unwanted energy will come to your aura.
Whether an object is animate or inanimate, it has consciousness. The black or unwanted released energy will be happy to come to you, the healer. All the dark particles want light. Therefore, they travel to you, the Reiki healer thinking, “This (you the Reiki healer) is a better place where there is more light and love. We have found place here. Let us stay here”.
If the released energy comes to you and when you undergo or experience the same or similar problem, tell them, “There is a better place, where there is more light and love. I will show you the path. This is the way to go”. Then you draw the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen symbol, to show the direction to Reiki Source. You also become silent this way. Therefore, it goes away to get transmuted to light and love.
Healing Cold and Jammed Fingers through Reiki and Flowers
Mangala Ayre
Our grandson is 4 years old. He developed a cold last Sunday, while we were at Disney land. I just began chanting the names of the Bach Flower Remedies, “Crab Apple Walnut Hornbeam White Chestnut Beech”. He didn’t know, I was doing this for him.
On the way back in the car, he was seated next to me. He just asked me if I could put my hand on his forehead and chant the names of the flowers, like I used to do when he was a baby. I decided to do Reiki too.
As I put the symbol on his forehead he asked, “Ammama, are you drawing Mr Sun on my forehead?” I told him I was doing REIKI. He said, “I know that you are calling Mr Sun to heal me, aren’t you?” I was so amazed at the child’s intuitive understanding of REIKI. He had no previous exposure to it. As Naran says, “Children and animals respond naturally to healing”.
Now whenever he feels uneasy he comes running and says, “Please do REIKI”. I like it!
His plant outside was not growing as fast as he wanted. Therefore, he asked me to do Reiki for his plant! He has also asked me to do REIKI for the poor children who lost their homes and toys in the Earthquake, by saying, “They will feel better Ammama. I will send them my toys and you send them REIKI.”
There is so much to learn from little children.
Reiki and Rescue Remedy for Jammed Fingers
This morning he ran into the garage and the door shut on his fingers, which got jammed in the door. He screamed. I went and immediately applied Bach Flower Remedy Rescue Remedy, Walnut, (I had with me), and then chanted Star of Bethlehem, Mimulus and Crab Apple.
We applied cold pack. Then he stopped crying and asked me, “Where is the REIKI? Please do that!”
Now he is sleeping with no signs of the morning’s injury. The fingers are fine. Thanks to the flowers and Reiki.

Reiki for your family and house
- Give Reiki daily to your Family photograph
- When we give Reiki to children they learn to live with Reiki.
- For the house where you are staying, give Reiki Or over the address written on a paper
- Give Reiki to drinking water and make the person drink it. It’s very effective. Spray it over the floor, and house garden.
- If your bed room lacks energy, then draw the symbols over the room.
- For Fever, Reiki water works better. Energise the water with Reiki symbols.
- While milk is boiled, and before eating any food – especially for food consumed in a hotel, give Reiki to it, as Prana and oxygen is increased.
Healing Others
- Wherever the energy is less, give Reiki.
- Giving Reiki to somebody means giving them energy.
- You can visualize the person and draw symbols over his body part that requires healing.
- If you have a problem visualizing, write the name of the person in a piece of paper and give Reiki to it.
- For multiple people, write their names in one sheet of paper and give Reiki to the paper. Reiki is intelligent and it will heal the concerned people.
- When you argue with somebody give Reiki to them.
- Give it to environment as all of them are our projections. Give Reiki to anything that requires energy. You may give energy to whole of the world.
- We can do as many times as we can. While driving or whenever we find time.
Target Your Goals through Reiki
If you say, “I want to be successful in business” then it means that there is a lack of success in your business and this area is not receiving required energy either from body or mind. To make your business a successful one, give it Reiki – the universal energy, on a regular basis.
Giving Reiki to Your Goals and Objectives
How does Reiki work here?
- I am not successful in one area of life because there is internal resistance – otherwise known as psychological reversal or internal self sabotage mechanism. Reiki heals this internal resistance.
- Some of our intentions are always fulfilled – say for example eating Dosas or going to Mumbai by flight. Though, there are desires that are not fulfilled. Why? It means the energy of those desires is very low. Let us say we require X degrees of energy to get the work done. We have only X – 30. Then these desires can’t be fulfilled. How to increase their energy level? Give Reiki to those intensions. This will boost the energy level of them. For anything that’s not happening in your life, give it Reiki.
- Reiki channels are successful because they work on the affirmations with lots of perseverance. When we fail, we form a belief – a self-limiting belief. We have to remove that from the mind. We can remove it through Reiki.
Forming Affirmations – there is a structure behind it
- Write the goal as if it has already happened (affirmation) and give Reiki to it.
- Add to all the affirmations, “Reiki heal the intention for the highest good for everybody concerned”. Why should we add this sentence to the affirmation? This is surrendering to Reiki, as only on a surrender things will happen. When we believe that Reiki can do it, it will start working.
- We need to do different intentions on different paper. If one intention is healed, we don’t have to give Reiki to it. Though you can give Reiki for all the affirmations put together.
- Or use a Reiki box where you can have multiple affirmations inside it and give Reiki to it. The box will be charged permanently and therefore any papers (stuff) kept inside the box will be energised quickly.
- Draw all the symbols. Need not be in order, for example you can draw Zonar many times before drawing another symbol. You can use both traditional and Reiki symbols here.
- Have the hands over the box or the individual affirmation (paper) for a minute or two. It (box or affirmation paper) will be energized with Reiki.
- Instead of doing nothing while hands are placed, you may chant, “I am sorry, please forgive me, love, thanks, divine”. This will provide additional healing to the affirmation.
Intention and Reiki
All our desires and intentions can be fulfilled with the help of Reiki. Reiki works as per our intention. As you intend, energy flows towards that direction or goal. Though, it might take its own route. Reiki can change anybody’s life. It’s a subtle form of energy, result of which, we may not be able to see immediately.
None of your intentions will go unfulfilled if you use Reiki. I challenge you on this!!!
Think REIKI!!!
We tend to fight when we are angry. Reiki says, ‘Show Love instead’. When there is anger around, send Reiki to it.
Emotions like sadness, anger and worry will decrease your energy level. Reiki says, ‘Have a Positive Attitude’.
We have to change our attitude towards our life. What mantras are required to change it? Reiki says ‘You need Love, Thanks and Trust to increase your Energy Level’.
Our lives are getting too fast. Reiki says, “Don’t Run, things will come to you automatically”.
Reiki will remove all unwanted stuff from our lives by giving Reiki in 18 different positions. We don’t have to worry, which position removes which unwanted stuff. Just work on all these positions. Reiki will take care of the rest.
Increase Your Energy Levels
All over the world, everyone understands the existence of energy and the need of energy. A person to move from Anna Nagar to T.Nagar needs energy. Energy is available within us.
Energy can be Increased or Decreased
Within us, how are our energy levels are increased or decreased? It depends on how we react to our life situations. If we are happy then energy will be in plenty. If not then that means we will have little energy.
Until our death energy is present. When somebody is dead we say Prana is not there. We check their breath to find that out. Prana and breath are connected. They are not one and the same. Breath is in the body. It needs energy to carry on and that’s called as Prana or Reiki.
Prana is increased or decreased by our minds. Thanks to Reiki, people have found that we could manipulate the universal energy for the highest good of everybody concerned.
Reiki Means…
- It’s powerful and very subtle.
- All organs are working in coordination with the universal energy that’s Reiki. Reiki is extending love and light to the cells of the body.
- Wherever there is less energy we energise that area. We don’t do more than that.
Body, Mind and Prana are Interrelated
To sustain the physical body, we need food – healthy food. Our body grows if we are taking sufficiently good food. Then we are healthy.
After digestion is over everything is converted to oxygen and behind oxygen is Prana (so it increases too). They are bound to each other. So we should eat oxygen- rich food. If so, we will be healthy.
Unfortunately the food we eat doesn’t contain enough oxygen, thanks to environmental pollution. I read in the newspaper, Apples that we import from Fiji and Washington contain nothing but carbon dioxide. When they are transported by airplanes, I believe they are infused with carbon dioxide.
Therefore, preferably we take seasonal fruits that are locally available. Even they are not grown properly these days. Yet we still manage to live because we have enough Prana to sustain us. If Prana is maintained well, health will be maintained too.
How mind affects Prana?
Anger and worry will reduce the Prana inside us. If Prana is reduced, then your physical vitality will also be reduced. Within worry, there is fear and sadness. Anger has jealousy, envy, likes and dislikes behind it.
What will increase Prana then? When you do yoga for example it will and due to that it stabilizes the physical stuff.
Prana also can be increased by having certain states of mind. What are those mental states that increase the Prana and thus our degree of vitality levels? According to Dr. Mikao Usui – the founder of Reiki, the following principles do that:
1. Be honest
You should act with your conscience;
2. Be kind to others – express kindness and love to others.
Even if you see a cockroach struggling to get up from its upside down position, you should help it, to regain its position. This single act alone can increase your Pranic energy thousand fold.
3. Have an Attitude of Gratitude
For anything good done to us, we have to say thanks; especially for parents we have to keep on say love and thanks as we owe so much to them.
Also say thanks to others – even to your enemy. He will become your friend then. Don’t have vengeance and hatred. They not only will sustain the enmity but will reduce Prana as well.
Even inanimate things like the house you live in – say thanks to them.
Intention and Reiki
All our desires and intentions can be fulfilled with the help of Reiki. Reiki works as per our intention. As you intend, energy flows towards that direction or goal. Though, it might take its own route.
Some of our intentions are always fulfilled – say for example eating Dosas or going to Mumbai by flight. Though, there are desires that are not fulfilled. Why? It means the energy of those desires is very low. Let us say we require X degrees of energy to get the work done. We have only X – 30. Then these desires can’t be fulfilled. How to increase their energy level? Give Reiki to those intentions. This will boost the energy level of them. For anything that’s not happening in your life, give it Reiki.
Reiki can change anybody’s life. It’s a subtle form of energy, result of which, we may not be able to see immediately.
Deserve A Better Life Through Reiki
Gita has been working in the Sales department for last 20 years. She was tipped to be the next branch manager where she has to manage four to five branches. Everybody thought she deserve that position. While her chief officer from Honk Kong felt otherwise and wanted to get the branch manager from outside.
It was decided to advertise in newspapers to fill the position. She wrote an affirmation on a piece of paper and gave Reiki to it.
They advertised twice, yet no response from outside. As time was running out she was promoted to that post.
She thanked all the people. Did send Reiki to them and to her chief officer (to do so write the names of the people in the paper and give Reiki to it), as well as for the affirmation she wrote.
Create Love
Mrs. GS
My daughter went for her third round of audition. Her throat became uncontrollable at the time of singing. However, she managed to do a fair job.
The first two judges praised her on her good singing abilities, and at the same time pointed out her mistakes. While the third judge abused her terribly, by concluding she was not fit to sing!
During the session, the judges had a bitter fight among themselves. After all this happened, thank Reiki, my daughter did not cry.
I wonder how a person can abuse a child without any reason! Whom does he hate at that point I fail to understand! My heart really aches, though I know for sure my daughter will succeed in every step of her career in music.
Naran
There is no answer for WHY questions. If you think that whatever he did was not fair and out of context, then please do not bother about it. Ignore it. It is his problem. Instead of feeling hurt and rejected, understand this person needs some healing, some light and some love. Some people ask for it directly and some indirectly in a negative way. Just send Reiki to him and send him to the God source, and forget the incident.
(After two days) Feed back from Mrs. GS
I did send Reiki to the person who abused my daughter. Yesterday, when my daughter went for her fourth audition, the atmosphere was a very different one. Everyone appreciated her for her singing. She got 90% score and we returned home elated. Without following your advice, this would not have been possible. Thanks a million to you and Reiki.
Naran’s Comment
I suggested Reiki Healing in accordance with the basic principles of Reiki. In the emotional drama of life, we tend to forget them. It is normal to get angry after such an incident. “Do not get angry” is a Reiki principle and “Be kind to others” is the fifth principle of Reiki. Sending Reiki to the person, who verbally condemned the daughter, is a way of being kind to others.
Appreciate Your Assets
A student of Naran S. Balakumar has some property in the form of few plots of land. She wanted to convert them into good assets.
As per Naran’s instruction, she wrote ‘My Assets’ on a piece of paper and gave Reiki to it, every day. Whenever she did that, she felt rejuvenated and physically elated.
She was surprised and therefore enquired Naran. He remarked, “Even your body is your Asset isn’t it?”
Health is Wealth. Take care of it. Otherwise, you will be increasing the Assets of your Doctor!
