Antahkarana - A Powerful Healing

Symbol That Is Easily Used

Marie-Lise Chabtini introduces the
powerful symbol of healing that is
widely used by REIKI healers the
world over and shares additional
ways of using it to enhance the chi
energy of space, discovering in the process its close
relationship with symbolic feng shui.
Think of it as being part of our spiritual anatomy,
connecting the physical body with our higher selves.
This makes it an effective way for the two auras of the
self to communicate and maybe that is why it is so
effective as a sacred meditation and healing tool.
Many say the symbol originated in Tibet, although no
records exist, but its powerful effects have created its
own validity.

For healing purposes, Tibetans created candlelit

rooms within which they placed a large oval bowl filled
with several inches of water, representing the waters
of life. In the center of the water, the Antahkarana
symbol , usually made of silver, is placed. One wall is

of polished copper polished creating a healing mirror;

another wall is adorned with paintings depicting other
healing symbols. The healer meditates on the symbol
using his or her concentration to unite the energies of
the symbol with that of the person requiring healing.
The Antahkarana symbol creates an energy that has
a direct effect on the human aura, directly reaching
chakra points in various ways. This depends as much
on the size of the symbol as on the pattern created by
the symbol. Visual images of powerful symbols are of
course nothing new. It is an age-old practice that pops
up in many different cultures. Yantra meditation for
instance uses visual images to reach the
consciousness. The Antahkarana is a very ancient
healing and meditation symbol that has been used in

China and Tibet for thousands of years. Today, it is a

widely known symbol which those who use it claim
has a consciousness of its own. The symbol is so
powerful it can work independently of outside energy.
How Does It Work?

It interacts directly with your aura and your chakras;

and it knows how to vary its healing effect according
to what you need at the time of use. As a healing tool,
it helps to release energy within a Taoist microcosmic
orbit, in the process creating an energy flow up the
main channel of the body and down the functional
channel. This energy flow has a grounding and
cleansing effect on the body; and as it activates the
chakras, it heals the organs associated with each of
the chakras.
Spiritual energies travel up the spine, over the crown
chakra, and down through the front of the body to the
root chakra and back up again, continuously moving
around and around. This flow of energy balances the
chakras and prevents excessive build up of energy in

any of the chakras. The effect is often invigorating,

adding a noticeable boost to ones vitality. Here, it is
the effect of the symbol on the human chakras that
bring about healing and a growth spurt of vitality.
How I Look At Chakras

I will not talk much about chakras this time. The

technology of chakras deserve much longer than just
few words. For those who dont know, just imagine
that chakras are essential batteries in our body, each
battery being responsible for charging a whole
department. (Imagine the picture as a supermarket
with 7 aisles of products with different functions:
cleaning, animal food, etc.) The extraordinary thing
about these batteries is that they last a lifetime and
they are RECHARGEABLE. So your chakras are
amazing centers of healing energies. Indeed, all
spiritual therapies and cures use the chakra system to
rejuvenate the human body.
The illustration below lists the emotional or physical
aspects of each of the seven chakras. You can use it

to help you visualize your own chakras and put

concentration on each in turn to make you feel better.
Simply focusing attention on your own chakra is itself
a powerful exercise. Healing of the associated organs
or emotional aspects indicated takes place
immediately and when you also place a symbol of
the Antahkarana on that chakra point, healing begins
instantly. Chakras have many dimensions but this is a
simple way to use them for healing.

Variations of the Symbol

The Antahkarana is a multi-dimensional symbol which

at first looks like a two-dimensional hexagon with
three 7s inside a circle. These signify the seven
colours of the rainbow and the seven chakras. As a 3-

dimensional cube, its potency is enhanced

considerably as this evolution from 2 to 3 dimensions
is what helps the consciousness to access the higher
self.
When I contemplate on the symbol for some time, I
find I actually rotate around it, and it rotates around
itself and around me! Its a real trip! Math was not my
favourite topic at school but I went into trying to find
out how many sides a cube has I know now. Its 6,
right? So I figured out very simply that if it was in 3D,
then there would be 6 angles or sides, therefore 6
dimensions! Bottom line is that each one of uts will
have his or her own trip, and will be lifted to one or
more dimensions. I believe Im at
level 6!
How does the Antahkarana benefit us?

As a remedy used to fight illness, the symbol is most

effective. I know for a fact that this is one of the
symbols used by Lillian to thwart illness star
afflictions. She agrees that the Antahkarana works

directly on the subtle energy vortexes of human

bodies around it. Simply placing the symbol in any
room or space is usually sufficient to generate an
illness-free environment. The symbol cannot cause
harm as it works directly through the higher self.
Objects placed between two of the Antahkarana
symbols will be cleansed of negative energy. Placing
male and female versions of the symbol on a wall will
generate the power to neutralize every kind of
negative energy.
The Antahkarana symbol will also neutralize negative
energy that may have collected in items such as
jewellery or crystals simply by placing the object
between two symbols. Symbols placed under
mattresses and massage tables or chairs have a very
positive effect on the sleeping. Just lying down on the
symbols for three minutes will reverse the bodys
magnetic poles, instantly rebalancing the chakra
points. This is what makes people attentive and
focused as opposed to feeling listless, tired and
sleepy.

Water can be purified in nine minutes by placing upon

the Antahkarana symbol. Any kind of radioactive or
other contamination is removed. And as the human
body is composed mainly of water, the symbols work
in the same way on the body. If the energy needs to
be concentrated on a small spot, use one of the
corners of the symbol and press it upon the area for
three minutes.
Ideal for Meditation

The Antahkarana is a valuable tool for meditation due

to its 3-dimensional qualities. Regular use of the
symbol generates greater inner clarity. It helps the
mind go deeper into the subconscious, and hence
vastly improving results from meditations, affirmations
and visualizations. Meditation is done by gazing
directly but gently on the symbol, allowing your
conscious thought to drift and take shape. As you
relax, you could experience subtle shifts in
dimensional level and you may experience many
kinds of visions within or surrounding the symbol. This

has a powerful effect on the mind, enhancing its

clarity but also causing it to relax vastly.
If you set aside ten minutes a day to meditate on
the Antahkarana , it is believed your immunity goes up
and you will not get sick. Your constitution becomes
much stronger. The psyche will soon develop a calm
demeanour, suggestive of a feeling of peace and
security. In case you feel a flying sensation which
disturbs you, just instantly open your eyes and come
back to earth. However, Antahkarana meditation
should not be seen as a way of relaxation; instead, it
should be used to enhance your health and body
strength.
Some tips based on my own experiences

Always ask yourself first what you are

suffering from.

Relate your pain to one of the chakras

according to their emotional aspect.

Then place the appropriate symbol face

down on that chakra.

Use different sizes in order to focus or widen

the energies. Size matters.

When Im very sad with my heart filled with

unbearable pain, I place the symbols
arranged as a Cosmic Cross on my heart
chakra face down so it releases all the pain.
Believe it or not, a few minutes later, the
pain fades away and makes me feel so
much better. Just like a miracle!

I also believe in detoxifying the water we

drink. Just place a glass of water on the
symbol for ten minutes and then drink you
might say its psychological, but when I
drink, I feel good!

Antahkarana
Ancient Symbol of Healing

Alice Bailey and several other authors of

Tibetan philosophy have some knowledge of
the Antahkarana which you can find in a
number of books. They describe the
Antahkarana as a part of spiritual anatomy. It is
the connection between the physical brain and
the Higher Self. It is this connection that must
heal and develop if we are to grow spiritually.
The Antahkarana symbol depicted and
described here represents this connection and
activates it whenever you are in its presence.
The science of Radionics indicates that lines
drawn on paper create a psychic effect on the
space surrounding the drawing and will
influence the human aura and chakras in
various ways depending on the pattern
created. This validates the age-old practice of
yantra meditation which makes use of visual
images to purify and evolve the consciousness.
The Antahkarana is an ancient healing and
meditation symbol that has been used in Tibet
and China for thousands of years. It is a
powerful symbol and simply by having it in
your presence, it will create a positive affect on

the chakras and aura. When doing healing

work, it focuses and deepens the actions of the
healing energies involved. When meditating
with the symbol on your person or close by, it
automatically creates what the Taoists call the
great microcosmic orbit wherein spiritual
energies travel up the spine, over the crown
chakra, then down through the front of the
body to the root chakra and back up again
continuously moving around and around. This
action balances the chakras and prevents too
much energy building up in one or more
chakras.
The Anthakarana symbol will also neutralize
negative energy that has collected in objects
such as jewelry or crystals simply by placing
the object between two symbols. In addition, it
will enhance all healing work including Reiki,
Mahikari, Jin Shin, Polarity Therapy,
Chiropractic, Hypnotherapy, and Past Life
Regression. These positive effects have been
confirmed over and over by the improved
results noted by those using the symbol and by
clairvoyent observation by those trained in
sensing changes in the aura and chakras.
This symbol is multi-dimensional. From one
perspective it appears to be two dimensional,

being made-up of three sevens on a flat

surface. The three sevens represent the seven
chakras, the seven colors and the seven tones
of the musical scale. These three sevens are
mentioned in the book of Revelations as the
seven candle sticks, the seven trumpets and
the seven seals.
From another perspective this symbol appears
as a three dimensional cube. Its energy moves
up from two to three dimensions that can be
seen and continues up through unseen
dimensions all the way to the highest
dimension - the dimension of the Higher-Self.
The Tibetan meditation practice that used the
Antahkarana took place in a room lit with
candles. In the middle of the room was a large
earthenware vessel shaped in an oval which
symbolized the cosmic egg of the universe. The
vessel was filled with several inches of water
and in the middle was a stool. On the seat of
the stool, inlaid in silver was the Antahkarana
Symbol. One wall was covered with copper that
was polished to a mirror finish. Tapestries
which displayed Reiki symbols were hung on
the opposite wall. A Tibetan Lama meditator
would sit on the stool and gaze steadily at the
image of the Reiki symbol reflected in the

polished copper mirror. This yantra meditation

would create one-pointedness in the mind of
the meditator, uniting the consciousness with
the transcendental energies of the Reiki
Symbol while the Antahkarana Symbol on the
stool would focus the energies generated and
cause them to evenly flow through all the
chakras and to connect with Earth.
It is clear that the Tibetans did not originate
the symbol and there is no written record as to
its true origin.* However, through clairvoyent
perception the symbol was first given to the
people of Earth during Lemurian times over
100,000 years ago. This was the same time
Reiki was first brought to Earth by the Holy
Spirit. The Antahkarana was created by a
counsel of Ascended Masters who are watching
over the evolution of the Galaxy. They saw that
the people of Earth were in trouble and needed
help in re-establishing their connection with the
Higher Self. They created the symbol and using
a decree, imbued it with its own consciousness.
Now anyone who uses it will have the
connection between the physical brain and the
Higher Self strengthened. It is the Higher Self
that creates and guides the benefits of the

symbol and that is why it can never be used for

harm.
Directions for Use

The Antahkarana is a special symbol that has

its own consciousness. It does not need an
attunement for it to work. It is the image of
the printed symbol that creates the effect. It
works directly with your aura and chakras and
varies its healing effect depending on what you
need at the time of use. Since it is directed by
the Higher Self, it always has a beneficial effect
and can never be misused or used to cause
harm. The symbols can be placed under a
massage table, or under the bottom of a chair
or you could sit on them. They can also be
placed on the wall or they can be held against
your body with the print facing the area that
needs healing.
Use in Reiki Treatments
The cloth symbols work best for use when
giving Reiki treatments as they allow you to
place them on the clients body over the areas
needing healing. When used in this way, you
can then place your hands on top of the
symbol and do Reiki through the symbol into
the client. This will make your treatments

more effective and the person will heal faster.

The multiple symbol is great for releasing
blocked energy. If you sense a block, place the
mulitple symbol over the are with the image
facing down and place your hands on top of
the symbol. You'll find that the block breaks up
and is release much more quickly. The male,
female and cosmic cross symbols each have
their own vibration and will add that particular
type of benefit to the treatment. Just use your
intuition to determine which symbol to use.
The Antahkarana symbols can also be placed
on the floor under the Reiki table or even
tacked to the bottom of the table with the
image facing up. Remember, just having the in
your presence will have a beneficial effect.
Use in Meditation

You can meditate directly on the Antahkarana

by gazing steadily at it with your eyes relaxed,
gently brushing away any thoughts that may
come up. With continued practice the image
may begin to shift and change or to fade in and
out, or it may disappear completely. This is
good because it indicates you have entered a
deeper level of meditation and are receiving
greater benefit. Do not allow this to disturb
you. Continue your steady relaxed gaze. You

may even begin to see pictures in front of the

image that are very pleasant and relaxing. A
single meditation with the symbol will be
beneficial during times of stress. However
regular use is best, setting aside 10 to 30
minutes each day for meditation on the
Antahkarana. The value you receive will
develop along with your mental clarity and a
sense of peace and security will stay with you
throughout the day.
Uses of Each Symbol
There are several variations of the symbol. The
large single symbol is more female and creates
its healing in a gentle way healing the female
energies of both men and women. The smaller
single symbol is more male and more direct,
focused and penetrating and will heal the male
energy of both men and women. Use your
intuition in deciding which one to use.
The Cosmic Cross is made of seven symbols
crossing each other. This represents the seven
major chakras. This symbol will purify your
energy and can be used to open the heart. The
square multiple symbol made of sixteen
symbols will break up blocked and congested
energy, and get stuck energy moving. This

symbol can also scatter your energy so it is

recommended that you follow its use with the
single male symbol to create centering and
grounding.
Experiment
The Antahkarana symbols lend themselves
easily to experimentation so allow yourself to
be guided to new uses. Some people have silk
screened them onto t-shirts, others have
placed the small wallet size in their shoes (to
help them run faster and jump higher). You
can also tape the wallet size - using surgical
tape over a chakra or over an area that is weak
or in need of healing and it will immediately
strengthen the area.
The universe is filled with wonder and mystery
and as we trust only in the light and boldly
explore our true nature, untold value will be
revealed to us. The Antahkarana is a symbol
that gives freely to all. May you benefit greatly
as you explore its use in your journey back to
Light.

who knew of the symbol tended to keep it to themselves so
that the increased value it created for their work would add

healing.
