Your Source For Reiki Resources

These are questions you should be asking your Reiki Master/Teacher.

i am going to get a tattoo in a few weeks and i have come across the reiki symbols, "Om" and "Shanti" i really like them but not sure if its a good or bad thing to actually use these symbols and or have them tattooed on my body so what i am wondering is pretty much "who, what, where, when, why, and how" about these symbols. for example, "who uses these symbols?" "what exactly are they used for?" "where are they used?" ETC… ect… i just wanna make sure that getting these symbols tattooed are a good idea before i get them, and where do they originate from?
these arent my first tattoos, i have others. Doesnt the "Om" symbol mean God and his creation?

Both Om (yes, praise, or joining) & Shanti (inner peace) are Sanskrit words.Before you get them permanently inked into your skin, it might be a good idea to do some actual research on the complete symbolism of the words. Tats are forever.
