Sei He Ki: The Mental and Emotional Symbol

Sei he ki (pronounced say hay key) is the second symbol given to Usui Reiki Level II practitioners. It promotes harmony and emotional and mental healing. You can use the sei he ki to do the following:

Get rid of unwanted habits and beliefs. This is a simple process, as far as Reiki treatments themselves are concerned, but can take many treatments to complete. If you know the habit you want to break, think of it while drawing or visualizing the sei he ki around you. You can also meditate on the symbol with the intent to release any habits that don't serve your highest good. It can also change negative beliefs, or those that are no longer true for you, as well as negative social or parental conditioning and programming.

Improve relationships. If you're having trouble in any relationship, visualize the sei he ki surrounding the people involved, especially if you're arguing. Intend it to bring any issues to the surface and give you the wisdom and strength to work through them.

Improve memory. If you've forgotten something, whether it's a name, an answer on a test, your keys, or anything at all, you can use the sei he ki to help you remember it. Just put your hands on the top of your head, and visualize the sei he ki there. Then, say, "I will remember ___ within --- (time period)." The mental and emotional healing symbol, which improves the function of both sides of the brain, will help you remember what you've forgotten.

Reduce stress. If you're tense and feeling stressed out, put both hands on the top of your head, and visualize the sei he ki spinning in the center of your head. Rather than making you dizzy, this spinning symbol will facilitate harmony, balance, and stress relief on all levels.
