Introduction to Dai Ko Myo
The Dai Ko Myo symbol is known as the Master Symbol in Reiki and represents enlightenment, empowerment, and divine connection.
Translated as “Great Bright Light” or “Great Shining Light,” it serves as a reminder of the universal energy that flows through all beings and connects us to the source of life.
This symbol is considered the pinnacle of Reiki practice. It enhances spiritual development, strengthens healing abilities, and facilitates deep energetic transformation.
Reiki practitioners use it to amplify energy, perform attunements, and connect with their higher selves.
