I have been a lightworker for a few years now. I use Reiki primarily, and while I find it an extremely useful and proven method of spiritual healing, I still dip into my own repertoire of symbols to augment my practice. Chiefly, I use the symbol pictured below, the "Christ Light Sigil", to call in the power of Christ. Now, in Reiki, the whole purpose is to channel the healing love of God, and for this purpose the Reiki symbols are effective, and of course Reiki itself originated from Mikao Usui's determination to learn Jesus's healing ability, so you might say that this symbol is redundant within the practice of Reiki.
To that objection, I offer the following: In Western Reiki it's quite common to channel any number of angels for specific guidance using the traditional Reiki symbols. This symbol, however, I use to call upon the spirit of Jesus Christ in particular. To my mind, it brings me into resonance with a more powerful, miraculous healing energy that reflects the mythos of Jesus Christ. Miracles are possible. And I've experienced a few while strongly channelling this specific energy.
The symbolism of this sigil is part of what makes it especially powerful to me. The shape is inspired, of course, by the Christian symbol of the fish. The rounded top brings it closer to an infinity symbol. That combined with the vertical orientation and the flat bottom of the fish's tail represents to me the infinite love of God descended to the Earth plane through Jesus Christ. The vesica piscis also informs this design.
The symbol is accompanied by a ritual visualization. I'll give it to you in four steps:
1) First, I draw it from the bottom right, and end at the bottom right. In other words, start with the bottom right corner of the tail, draw up and around down to the left corner of the tail, and then draw the horizontal line back toward the right side of the tail. Here, I visualize a ball of white light symbolizing the accumulation of energy.
2) Following Reiki convention, I speak the name of the symbol three times while drawing it. Since it is Christ whom I call upon in this ritual, I speak "Christos" thrice as I draw. (A Jewish practictioner - or anyone else who doubts the veracity of Jesus's messianic title - may simply repeat "Jesus Christ" thrice.)
3) With the drawing and the verbal invocation, I inhale and visualize the white light of God's healing love entering through my crown, pooling at my feet, and then rising to swell at my heart chakra. I manage to accomplish all three of the first steps simultaneously.
4) Finally, I channel this energy down my arms to the vortices in my hands for the purpose of healing. I feel especially guided to use it when I feel like there is physical trauma whose time has come to be healed. Of course, I close my Reiki session as I always do, with grounding and thanks.
I welcome any feedback. As with any Reiki or healing magic, the body may not have gone through the changes and healing that are necessary for any substantial, tangible result, but those of you experienced in Reiki will know this. Click here for a higher resolution version of the Christ Light Sigil.
Use it wisely and with loving intention.
