The 3 squares are symbolic of mouths praying, asking for blessings from Heaven and represents Sound. The lower horizontal line represents under Heaven and the 2 figures represent shamans dancing. The vertical line represents the connection between Heaven and earth. It is through the dance that they connect Heaven and earth bringing the blessings of Heaven to earth in Gesture.
The Ki symbol
The 2 horizontal lines are representative of moisture vapor and life force energy. The horizontal vertical line represents the earths crust. The figure beneath the earth’s crust is the seed.

Nothing can deter the power of the growing seed. When you take in Reiki energy, nothing can stop the growth, promoting Change.
