Focusing Divine Energy

The new ebru pieces I have been working on are embellished with the Japanese Jumon, Choku Rei (sho-ku-ray).

Ebru Choku Rei - Reiki Power Symbol
Handmade original, double layer acrylic ebru (turkish paper marbling) on kozo paper.

The Choku Rei is a symbol used in Reiki Healing to increase the flow of energy through the practitioner, thus increasing the healing potential. Choku Rei loosely means, focus divine energy here, and is informally referred to as the Power symbol.

Reiki roughly translated means, divine energy.  I see Ebru as a representation of the same energy.

The Choku Rei focuses the flow of the divine energy.

These pieces were made by utilizing a paper masking technique which requires me to go through the ebru process twice to define the symbol.




Peace & Love,
