Teachings from the HeartTM

Karuna - Practice To give a Karuna session proceed as you normally would giving a regular Reiki session. The Karuna symbols can be used in the same way as the Usui Reiki symbols. You can draw or visualize them at the beginning of your session, in combination with the Usui symbols or by themselves. Chant them, visualize or draw them into your palm before you start. Be creative. As with Usui Reiki, you cannot do it wrong in the Karuna system either. Trust. Karuna works at deeper level of intuitive connection and you might slowly move away from the traditional handpositions and merely follow your intuition and guidance. In addition to saying a prayer, inviting your guides, healing angels and the light beings you usually call upon, I suggest you perform a short mini meditation using for example the Sha Mudra which strengthens and increases your Chi flow. Connect with the heavenly Chi and the earth Chi by means of visualizing a tube going to the core of earth through all your chakras and all the way up to heaven/God. Feel the heavenly Chi and the earthly Chi flowing in, collect them in your heart, the center of love and compassion. Feel your whole being filled with this loving compassion. Then let this loving compassionate energy flow into your hands and separate your hands. You are ready to begin your Karuna Session.
	The best way to practice your Karuna is to use the hand positions and the symbols the way you are used to. Now you can add the Karuna symbols one by one. Zonar , for deep cellular healing, past live work, release, Halu to clear and cleanse (similar to Sei-He-Ki). Harth to fill the cleared cleansed space with unconditional Love, for that is what Harth is all about. Use Harth for all healing issues related to the heart, not only physically but on all levels. Rama can also be used throughout the session especially for issues of lower chakra energy. Rama (name for God) is balancing and harmonizing. Continue throughout your session by following your inner guidance and the guidance and assistance of your guides.
At the end of your session use the Rama for grounding. Rama grounds to the six directions which are East, West, North, South, Above and Below. Once you grow confident in your Karuna healing work, you may choose to do your Karuna opening, with inviting guides, prayers, Mudra, etc. ~ and then simply allow the Karuna Love and Compassion to flow. You will intuitively receive the appropriate symbol when needed. As the Karuna attunement opens your channel to higher consciousness and to the working with the Ascended Masters you may at any time call on any Ascended Master or Archangel of your choice. They will be at your side immediately, however you have to ask them to assist you.
