REIKI

The 'symbols' on the left show how reiki is written in two styles of the Japanese language. The top half of the symbol is REI which means "universal" and also refers to the spiritual dimension and the soul. The symbol below is KI and means vital "life energy force" which flows through all that is alive. These characters, when combined, present the concept of "universal life energy force". On the right is the symbol that the reiki alliance uses to represent itself. I use the symbols on the left.
