Karuna is a Sanskrit word. Karuna means “an action that is taken to diminish the
suffering of others”. Hence, Karuna Reiki can also be defined as the ‘Reiki of
Compassion’.

Karuna Reiki is a healing energy which assists us in awakening universal
compassion and the wisdom in one’s soul. When combined with energy, our state of
consciousness in compassion has a great transformational power.

Karuna Reiki is derived from a collection of “additional symbols” where some came along with attunement processes. Although many of the symbols used in Karuna Reiki are similar as those used in other systems and schools, the intention and attunement of Karuna Reiki is different, and the energies connected to it are unique to the system.

Karuna is the motivating quality of all enlightened beings who are working to end
suffering on Earth. As you develop Karuna in yourself, not only are you 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
form.
