Let’s Talk Symbols: Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen. Your Long-Distance Reiki Superpower
Welcome back, dear Reiki wanderers. We’ve powered up with Cho Ku Rei (the cosmic plug socket) and soothed our frazzled emotions with Sei He Ki (the emotional whisperer).
Now, we’re getting fancy. We’re stepping into the part of Reiki that makes people raise an eyebrow and say, “Wait, you can do that?!”
Yes. Yes, you can. Welcome to the world of Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen, the long-distance dynamo that lets you send healing across time and space.
Meet Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen
Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (say it with me: Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen) is often called the Distance Healing Symbol in Reiki.
Meaning?
“No past, no present, no future.”
In other words: energy doesn’t care about your calendar. Reiki flows wherever you send it. Perhaps, to your cousin in Australia, to your job interview next Thursday, or to that embarrassing moment in 2009 you still think about before falling asleep. (Just me?)
This symbol is your energetic FedEx. You write the address, and Reiki delivers. Simple, powerful, and yes, sort of magical.
Why We Use Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (Because Time Travel is Fun)
We call on this beauty when we need to:
Send Reiki remotely to someone far away. No need for the awkward timezone math.
Heal past trauma, such as emotional scars, old grief, and childhood wounds.
Send positive energy into future events, anything from meetings to surgery, and even first dates. You name it.
Clear patterns that seem stuck on repeat.
Connect with people, situations, and even karmic timelines in a healthy way.
The Benefits (aka Why This Symbol Is a Reiki Superhero)
Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is your energetic bridge across space and time. It breaks through distance, allowing you to send healing to anyone, anywhere — no plane ticket required. It also heals across time, helping to release the grip of past traumas and even soothe future stress before it takes root. This symbol strengthens connection, deepening your bond with clients, loved ones, and even your own soul’s timeline. It empowers remote sessions, so your clients feel the energy just as strongly as if they were right there with you. And perhaps most beautifully, it facilitates karmic healing, gently smoothing out those sticky, soul-level patterns we carry with us.
How to Use Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen in Real Life
Let’s get practical. Here’s how you can sprinkle some long-distance sparkle into your daily world:
Send Reiki to a loved one: Having a rough day? Draw the symbol, think of them, and beam them calm, healing vibes.
Prep your future self: Got a big event coming up? Send Reiki to your future timeline. (It’s like emotional insurance.)
Heal past wounds: Sit quietly, think of a painful memory, draw the symbol, and gently send healing backwards in time.
Bless your goals: Use Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen when setting intentions, helps clear hidden blocks tied to past failures or future fears.
Support global events: Feeling helpless about world news? Send Reiki globally. Every drop of light counts.
In Your Reiki Practice
In remote healing, Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen is your first step. Draw it to connect with your client across the miles, creating an energetic link that bridges distance instantly. It’s also a powerful ally in trauma healing, especially when clients are processing deep or long-standing emotional wounds. You can use it for timeline clearing, sending Reiki through a client’s life from childhood to the present to release stuck or stagnant energy. I know many practitioners also work with it for soul connection, using the symbol to access the client’s higher self or ancestral lineage, inviting another level of healing and insight.
