Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is used in Hinduism, Buddhism and Zen. It is translated to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others and could also be translated as compassionate action. When individuals experience enlightenment, they report that all beings arc known as one. Therefore, it is natural to extend compassionate action or Karuna to everyone without distinction because we are all one. As we help others and aid them in their healing process, all beings benefit. Because of the oneness of all beings, it is understood that Karuna is not only extended to others out of love, but also because it is an entirely logical thing to do. In the same way that you would want to heal your own wounds, you would also want the wounds of others to be healed because if we are all one, then their wounds are your wounds also.
It is also stated in the Buddhist literature that Karuna must be accompanied by parjna or wisdom in order to have the right effect
Karuna is the motivating quality of all enlightened beings who are working to end suffering on Earth. They continually send an unlimited amount of healing energy and guidance to us, but not all are receptive to it. As you develop Karuna in yourself, not only are you helping others, but you also become more receptive to the Karuna that is being sent by all enlightened beings. Thus your healing is quickened as well.
Karuna Reiki opens you to work more closely with all enlightened beings. This includes those enlightened ones who are physically present as well as those in spirit.
Basics of Reiki-Chakra Work

Whenever you find a symptom related to the functioning of a main chakra as described below, you should treat this chakra as a special position. This means you would treat it in addition, for at least ten minutes, to the whole-body treatment. You may use the power symbol to increase the flow of the spiritual life energy (Reiki) and the mental healing symbol for harmonizing and developing the belief patterns of that energy organ.
To treat a chakra you should not place your hand on the body, because Reiki is always pulled in by the body and so a lot of the healing energy will not reach the chakra. By placing your hand at a distance of about ten to fifteen centimeters (four to six inches) above the front side of the body you will direct most of the Reiki to the chakra. The seventh chakra should be treated the same way but above the top of the head. The first chakra should be treated the same way, but from below.
Often, problems with a chakra are related to a block between itself and the spiritual energy channels of the spine. Therefore, it is helpful to treat a chakra from the front side and at the point on the spine where it connects to the other chakras through the spinal energy channels. To treat the back of a main chakra most effectively try each of two ways and then use the one which is most effective: give Reiki either with two or three fingers directly to the spine, or using the whole flat hand above the spine without touching the body.
Before you start to treat, rub your palms together until you feel that they are energized. Now direct your palms to the main chakra which you would like to treat from front and back. Move your hands a little bit up and down until a clear sensation of the emanation of the energy organ occurs. Many healers find it easier to develop good contact to a client's chakra by guiding their breath to their own hara region, which is situated about two fingerbreadths below the navel. Always move your hands a little bit to create maximum Reiki emanation to the chakra.

Karuna Reiki Mandala

Origin of the Karuna system of Reiki (Wm. Rand)
The Karuna system of Reiki has come from a number of sources. The first three symbols were channeled by Marcy Miller in 1991. It was originally thought that these first three symbols were channeled from the Guru Sai Baba. However, after checking with the Sai Baba organization, I was told that this was not the case. After working with several top clairvoyants, it has been determined that these first three symbols came directly from God. The fourth symbol - Rama was channeled by Kellie-Ray Marine. The following people channeled the other symbols: Shanti by Pat Courtney, Iava by Catherine Mills Bellamont, Gnosa by Maria Abraham and Kriya by Pat Miller.
These symbols and attunement processes were passed on to me by Glenn Derrick in the fall of 1993. The system was very powerful and effective. However, at that time, there was some confusion about the origin of the system. Some thought it had come from Sai Baba, while others were stating that it contained the original Usui symbols. Research has proven both of these ideas to be inaccurate. Further research indicated that the symbols had been channeled directly from God and that the attunements were a combination of other attunement processes. Meditating on what to do, I was guided to make several small changes in the attunement processes. I was also guided to give the system a new name that would more accurately reflect the purpose of the system.
Most people feel a significant difference between energies of Usui Reiki and those of Karuna Reiki. Once you have both, it is simply a matter of using whichever system you are guided to use or feel is appropriate for the situation.
