What is Antahkarana and why is it important?

Antahkarana is an ancient healing symbol which does not need any attunement nor does it belong to any particular Reiki system. Which means you don't have to be a Reiki Master to benefit from it's healing power. However, Merging this powerful symbol with Reiki brings profound outcome. It is known to be the bridge between the physical self and higher self. Later I'll share some of the more popular ways to use the Antahkarana in your every day life. 

Like most things the Antahkarana has both a feminine (left) and masculine (right) energy. The Yin and Yang energies they hold balance each other out. 

NoteYou might notice a similarity between the Antahkarana and the malevolent “Swastika” from Nazi symbolism. In their case, its purpose was to manipulate and dominate. The Swastika has nothing in common with the original Antahkarana – which is meant to cleanse, heal and connect to the Divine higher-self. Its purity and beneficial energy should be promoted and harmoniously used for our evolution as human beings.

 

The word Antahkarana originates in Sanskrit – Antar means “interior”, or “within”, and Karana means “sense”, or “organ”.

But the subject at hand has a different reference. 

Michele Griffith, the known clairvoyant, and healer, says that this symbol has its roots at the beginning of the lost civilization of Lemuria – on the Mu continent. That would make it about 100.000 years old.

The story goes that humanity needed to reestablish their connection between their rational mind and their higher-self. At that time, the council of enlightened masters (lightworkers) created this symbol to aid humanity in its evolution.

Therefore this symbol represents a collective consciousness.

There are 4 versions of Antahkarana Symbol: Male, Female, Cosmic Cross and Squares.

Male – Direct, intense and penetrating energy. Use when you need fast healing.

Female – Nurturing and gentle energy. It is not as intense as Male Antahkarana energy. You can use this for subtle and relaxed healing.

Cosmic Cross – Opens heart chakra to positive energy and accept love.

Squares – Removes negativity, blockages and stagnant energies. Helps energy flow freely. It is advisable to ground yourself with Male Antahkarana symbol after using square symbol.
