Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen Explained

Updated: Nov 27, 2022

Reiki symbols are basically sacred healing symbols that help in enhancing the flow of universal life force energy.


The primary symbols of traditional Reiki are the Cho Ku Rei or the Power Symbol, Sei He Ki, or the Mental and Emotional Symbol, and Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen, or the Distance Healing Symbol. These symbols which are given to a Reiki student during the advanced level of Reiki attunement are essentially impressed in the mind and aura of the student and blend with the metaphysical energies that they characterize. Thus, whenever a Reiki practitioner thinks or draws, or visualizes any of these symbols, they will connect immediately to the energies that it symbolizes.

Example Uses of Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen


Heal the Past: Sending Reiki in the past helps heal “old wounds” that may be affecting you in the present. It will not change the events, as past things cannot be changed; but sending Reiki to the past helps reframe the experience as part of the learning process, and it helps heal the pain and move on with your life.


Enhance Future Conditions: Using the distance healing symbol for the future helps in storing the Reiki energy like a battery to be accessed at a time when you require it. Sending Reiki ahead of time for doctor’s appointments, interviews, examinations, workshops, or traveling will help you adjust to the unforeseen circumstances of the future and keep an open and optimistic mindset.


To Heal across Time and Space: The Reiki distance healing symbol’s primary use is to send healing energy across a room, town, to different parts of your country, or just anywhere in the world. To heal people that are not present. It is otherwise called the “absent healing” symbol sometimes.


How to use the Reiki Distance Healing Symbol


The Reiki distance healing symbol is considered one of the most powerful and helpful symbols by most Reiki practitioners. However, when using this symbol, it is important to understand that the energies used in long-distance healing work more effectively on the subtle body of an individual like the aura or the chakras rather than working directly on an individual’s physical body.



Energies used for distant healing require time to work on the physical body and heal physical pain; sending Reiki energy for a particular problem such as headaches or backaches can limit the energies to a great extent. The recommended practice is to send Reiki to an individual as a whole, and this will allow the energy to reach directly to the part of the body where it is required the most.


Periodically empowering long-distance healing on day to day basis plays a vital role in helping the energies work effectively in a successful manner. However, it should be noted that Reiki cannot be used to change an individual or his behavior. The wisdom of Reiki understands what is best for the individual, and the energies act accordingly for the best possible outcome.
