Karuna Reiki ™ system was devised by William Lee Rand, who started to teach symbols that were not part of traditional Reiki system, sensing that they are beneficial. In 1993, with his more evolved students, through spiritual guidance have obtained the use of these symbols and how to realize the tunings for them, resulting a new system of Reiki. Karuna is a Sanskrit word which means any action which may decrease the suffering of another.

During Karuna ™ Reiki sessions could be identified several types of subtle energies, which come from enlighten beings: energies that works when it comes to issues of relationships, energies which bring unconditional love, energies that solve emotional problems or provide protection, energies contributing to clean the karma.

Karuna Reiki ™ system is structured on four levels, two practitioner levels and two master levels and use nine new symbols, an Usui symbol and other two Tibetan symbols. The tuning system is different from that of Usui Reiki. It activates a healing energy different to that used in Reiki Usui, stronger and more intense than the gentle flow of Reiki energy. Karuna Reiki provides strong protection methods through multiple symbols that give a very broad spectrum of uses and applications.

Through Karuna ™ Reiki is possible to work with St. Archangel Gabriel who helps to solve the problems of karma nature, the connection to the energy of unconditional love of the Virgin Mary. Karuna Reiki system offers access to angel's energy healing - St. Archangel Raphael and Archangels can also be connected for protection against evil energies.
