Karuna Reiki
Karuna is a Sanskrit word, which means compassionate action or compassion for others.
Karuna Reiki system was developed by William Lee Rand. This system of reiki is deeply connected with Hinduism - especially Tantra.
Karuna Reiki is considered a higher form of reiki healing system. It is said that a person attuned with Karuna Reiki not only feels energy passing through his/her body, but also feels being surrounded by it.
Reiki masters like Marcy miller, Kellie-Ray Marine, Pat Courtney and others channeled karuna reiki symbols. These symbols are somewhat different from usui reiki.
Reiki Symbols
The Reiki symbols are the keys that open doors to a higher self.
When a reiki master/practitioner draws, thinks about or visualizes a symbol it will instantly connect to the energy it represents.
The first reiki symbol is Cho Ku Rei
(Choku Rei is pronounced as "Cho-Koo-Ray") or power symbol. This symbol represents the body. This symbol is used to amplify reiki energy.

Types of Reiki
As with any popular healing system, variants of original reiki system have developed over time.
Most of these new systems derive directly from original Usui reiki system with some additional 'attunements' and 'symbols' thrown in.
Yet, there are some other esoteric 'reiki' systems which are claimed by their founders as the original reiki system and sometimes as even better than the original!
Presented below are some of these 'new reiki systems'.
Angelic Reiki
Archangel St. Michael is said to be the founder of this system of reiki. Angelic reiki symbols are same as usui reiki symbols.
Angels are considered as beings of a higher vibration. It is believed that when our consciousness is raised to a higher vibration we can see and contact angels. Proponents of this reiki claim that channeling and practising angelic reiki creates balance in our body, mind and spirit and raises our consciousness to a higher vibration.
