Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is used in Hinduism, Buddhism and Zen. It is translated to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others and could also be translated as 'compassionate action'. When individuals experience enlightenment, they report that all beings are known as one. Therefore, it is natural to extend compassionate action or Karuna to everyone without distinction because we are all one. As we help others and aid them in their healing process, all beings benefit. Because of the oneness of all beings, it is understood that Karuna is not only extended to others out of love, but also because it is an entirely logical thing to do. In the same way that you would want to heal your own wounds, you would also want the wounds of others to heal. It is also stated in the Buddhist literature that Karuna must be accompanied by parjna or wisdom in order have the right effect.Karuna is the motivation quality for all enlightened beings who are working to end suffering on Earth. They continually send an unlimited amount of healing energy and guidance to us, but not all are receptive to it. As you develop Karuna in yourself, not only are your helping others, but you also become more receptive to the Karuna that is being sent by all enlightened beings. Thus, your healing is quickened as well.Karuna Reiki opens you to work more closely with all enlightened beings. This includes those enlightened ones who are physically present as well as those in spirit.
Origin of the Karuna System of Reiki : The Karuna System of Reiki was developed by William L. Rand. The symbols were channeled by several other Reiki Masters, including Marcy Miller, Kellie-Ray Marine, Pat Courtney, Catherine Mills Bellamont and Marla Abraham. William used the symbols and found them to have value, but felt that they had more potential than what was being accessed. He meditated on them and was guided to develop the attunement process and to call the new system Karuna Reiki. Some of the symbols used in Karuna Reiki are used in other systems, but they do not have the same effectiveness or healing energies as in the Karuna System.Karuna Reiki energy is different than Usui Reiki and in fact, most students find it more powerful than Usui Reiki. The energy has a more definite feeling to it and works on all the energy bodies at the same time. Students report a feeling that the energy surrounds them and the client instead, simply flowing through them. Those who receive the attunement report experience with their guides, angels and higher self and feel the heeling presence of other enlighened beings.
