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 one’s 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 don’t 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 7’s 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! It’s 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. It’s 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 I’m 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 body’s
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 I’m 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 it’s 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.

psychic energies that would normally enter the crown chakra enter the feet and
travel up the back of the body to the top of the head and then down the front to
the feet again, thus grounding the person to the earth and creating a continuous
flow of energy through the chakras. It will also neutralise negative energy that has

Historically, the use of this symbol can be traced back through a number of Reiki

masters who knew of the symbol tended to keep it to themselves so that the
increased value it created for their work would add to their status. For this reason,
its use has not been widely known.

It is clear that the Tibetans did not originate the symbol, and there is no written
record as to its true origin.
However, through clairvoyant perception, Michelle Griffith, a talented clairvoyant
healer has been able to tune into the symbol and read its psychic history.
According to Michelle, the symbol was first given to the people of earth during
Lemurian times over 100,000 year ago. The Antahkarana was created by a counsel

This sacred symbol has been kept a secret for thousand of years, being known and
used by only a few. Now it is time for all to have access to this ancient and sacred
symbol of healing.
