The third Reiki symbol is called: Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen Pronunciation: Hone Shah Zay Show Nen General Meaning: The Divine within me greets the Divine within you. To promote enlightenment and peace. Purpose: Used to begin and connect with a recipient in an absentee healing. Usage: Using your power hand, draw the symbol over a proxy. As with the other two symbols, repeat the name of the symbol three times with the drawing. In Japan this symbol is known as Symbol 3. The Reiki symbol has very closely kept it's original form intact from the Japanese Kanji characters. To understand the usage it would be important to breakdown each character.   Hon: the basis, essential thing, principle Sha: the or a person Ze: right, just Sho: correct, proper Nen: thoughts, mind, idea   The entire phrase could be seen as "the essential basis of the person meets the essential person within you for just cause, to correct thoughts and ideas within the mind".   See the Japanese Kanji Dictionary for additional information.
