emmaxben,
/*\ Namaste :-}}
- yes, some minor variations in the symbols can be found even within very traditional Reiki - I would not worry about that
- I would recommend you use the traditional hand positions you were taught as a starting point and do those for a while - this will be the best way to re-enliven your connections to the flow of energy
- to keep as much of your own personal energy out of the Reiki simply focus your attention and Intention on getting the energy to the person receiving
- he or she will use the energy the best he\she can - try not to intrude your own ideas of what should happen or what you want to happen - just get the energy to the recipient
>:-}}
- if you picture the symbol(s) in your mind as you practice your Reiki that will be quite sufficient for now
- good luck
Reiki All Around,
All Blessings,
Firekeeper
