What is Karuna Reiki?
Karuna Reiki
Karuna, according to Reiki.org, is a Sanskrit word that loosely translated, means compassionate action, in “[diminishing] the suffering of others.” Some people say that Karuna Reiki is more powerful than Usui Reiki, but in order to take Karuna training you must already be a Reiki Master.
Karuna Reiki is broken down into two attunements with four master symbols and eight healing symbols. Each of the Karuna Reiki symbols has its own distinct healing benefits, from letting go of events that happened in the past, to stopping negative patterns, filling the client with love and balance, and grounding.
Karuna Reiki is said to work at a deeper level and requires many hours of preparation and learning, in order to become proficient. Some practitioners report a more spiritual feeling, associated with experiences where they are sensitive to their guides, angels or higher self.
Karuna was developed in the late twentieth century by William Rand, the founder and director of the International Center for Reiki Training, in Southfield, Michigan. Calling his technique the Reiki of Compassion, he stresses that Karuna Reiki is not a substitute for Usui Reiki, but rather an additional technique, with a different intent. It is accompanied by chanting and toning the names of its symbols, which is said to deepen the healing effect.
