The Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (pronounced hanh-shah-zay-show-nen) symbol is often referred to in reiki as the “distance symbol” as it is used during the practice of sending healing over distance or even time (ie into the future or past). One of the most common translations is “The God (the Buddha) in me Greets the God in you to promote enlightenment and peace.” Although another suggested translation is "the human being and the spirit are one". It is held by many to be one of the most fundamental symbols in reiki as it transcends the illusion of separation and teaches that all is connected regardless of any perceived boundary to healing trauma or previous lives. Wearing this symbol is a constant reminder that all is one and all is love.
