The Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen symbol is used when sending Reiki energy to someone at a distance in place and in time, as the symbol follows your intention. By sending light into your past, you counterbalance the sum of energies that stand at the ground of your present, so that you shift your future into a positive light.
