Karuna is a Sanskrit word that means 'compassionate action'. This healing system was developed by William Lee Rand. It has been thoroughly tested and found to be very effective. In fact, most Reiki Masters find it to be more powerful than Usui Reiki and is the next step after Reiki Master training. It contains two levels, eight practitioner symbols and one master symbol. Each symbol has a specific purpose and effect.

 

​

A brief description of the four Karuna® I symbols is given here: The first symbol prepares the client for deep healing and is useful with past life issues. It helps release karma and deeply seated issues on the cellular level. The second symbol heals deeply and can be used to breakup the negative patterns we unconsciously use to insulate ourselves from the truth, thus shattering delusion and denial. It heals the shadow self. The third symbol fills the person with love and restores balance. The fourth symbol completes the treatment by bringing the client back into the body and grounding.

 

​

The Karuna® II symbols are of a higher vibration and more powerful than those of Karuna® I. They help connect directly with the Higher Self and work on a deeper level. While they have specific purposes discussed in class, the experience of their energy allows for intuitive guidance in their use.

 

​

Both levels are taught during a 3-day weekend class. Upon completing the training, you will be able to practice, initiate and teach both levels of Karuna Reiki®. A manual and certificate are included.

 

​

Lots of practice time is included for giving treatments, using the symbols and for learning the attunement processes. We will also be doing a Reiki meditation to be aware of and heal the Shadow Self, and using chanting and toning with Karuna Reiki®.
