I signed up to take the Karuna Reiki Master class at the end of this month

Any thought or advice or Feelings on this system of reiki?

I've studied Karuna Reiki and my own personal thought is that it was designed to make money for someone, and that someone isn't necessarily the person taking the course. The creator of the system is William Rand, it's purported to be 'stronger' than Usui Ryoho Reiki and uses a completely new and different set of symbols, in conjunction with the Usui Master Symbol, Dai Ko Myo or DKM. I've no doubt that there are different 'frequencies' of Universal Energy that can be channeled for healing, so who's to say what's better than another. I've had Karuna treatments and felt no difference between them and Usui treatments. The other thought of course is if you're making a living from Reiki, the more certificates you'll be able to show to justify your prices. Just remember that you'll need to buy a 'franchise' from Mr. Rand to offer Karuna to your clients, or to teach it and attune others to the modality.

IMHO, Reiki is Reiki, symbols are to help focus intent, by themselves they have no power. To someone like myself who's used to focusing intent, the symbols help at times, but I don't always use 'em and really find no difference either way. And in truth, only two of the symbols are just that, symbols, the CKR and SHK. The other two are Japanese kanji, the HSZSN and DKM.

Namaste!

I completely agree with you, It is the intention that matters and the purity of the heart of the Reiki practitioner.

If you are a Usui Reiki Master than you don't need all of these other attunements to work with the different symbols. I have worked with the Karuna Ki Reiki symbols before, without the attunement, and have had wonderful results (I now a only working with Zonar, Harth, and Shanti, for personal reasons).

Check out http://web.archive.org/web/20020806012453/angelreiki.nu/karunaki/ for a more accurate history of the system. Which is very interesting because Rand leaves out quite a bit.

I just thought you should know.
