What is the Philosophy of Karuna Reiki?

The word Karuna is Sanskrit, mostly used in Buddhism, Zen, and Hinduism. It can be translated to mean actions taken to diminish other people’s suffering to also mean compassion. Individuals and Reiki Master who have experienced Karuna Reiki report a feeling of oneness in the universe. This makes it easy to extend compassionate actions without distinction.
Because of the feeling of oneness, Karuna considers it a logical thing to be compassionate and not simply out of love. After experiencing Karuna power, you will realize that your own wounds are healed and you’d want to extend that healing to others. The compassion in you spurs you to want to heal other’s wounds too. Once you develop Karuna power, you not only help others to heal but also become more receptive to it. It allows you to work closer with enlightened beings, physically and spiritually.
