The DIVINE PRESENCE Symbol

The divine presence symbol helps you connect with the sacred source of love and power. It
symbols a desire for, and awareness of the divine in human experience. This symbol can help
you manifest the highest good.

What is divine presence?

Divine presence is the awareness of the sacred connection between people, the world, and the
universe. This awareness helps dispel fear and negativity, and nurtures hope, courage, and
perseverance. Seeing the sacredness of all things helps us manifest love, power, and clear
thinking.

Most people recognize a higher power or essential source. For many, connecting with the divine
in a personal, fulfilling way is a spiritual longing. Seekers and students devote their lives to the
age-old questions of love, consciousness, and reality. As the Indian master poet, Darshan Singh
(1921-1989) wrote:
When man himself is God's purpose, why ask wherein God's purpose lies?
God is hid in the human heart, yet man searches: Where is God?

Some people experience the divine as an ascended master (for example, Jesus Christ, Kuan Yin,
the Buddha). Others may experience the divine in the form of angelic beings, spirit guides, or an
awareness of celestial order in the universe. Some, like the poet Singh, find the divine presence
within themselves, or residing in all beings.

I came to realize that if I could not see the divine in others, I could not see it in myself. And
if I could not see the divine in myself, how could I see it in my world?

Awareness of the divine presence can infuse everyday objects with significance as expressions
of divine creative intention. Seeing the divine in others encourages us to honor all life. This is
often the foundation for health and healing. The divine presence expands consciousness,
helping us connect with the expansive universe within and around us.

How does the divine presence symbol work?

Energy symbols are doorways to spiritual paths that lead to desired states. For example, there is
a Reiki symbol for emotional and mental clarity. Someone attuned (initiated) to this symbol can
use it to achieve a state of positive mental and emotional health. In the same way, after
attunement you can use the divine presence symbol to help you achieve greater awareness of
the divine.

After you receive the attunement for the divine presence symbol, you must discover how the
symbol works in your life. The following ideas can help you begin your exploration of the symbol:
9 Draw the symbol over your doors and windows, signifying that the divine blesses your home.
9 Use the symbol in meditation or prayer, tracing it in the air or on paper in a quiet,
contemplative way.
9 Write a name on a piece of paper, then draw the symbol over the name to send divine
blessing.
9 Imagine drawing the symbol in front of you or on the floor, then stepping into or onto the
symbol as a gateway into the divine presence.
9 Stand outside your home, office, or other buildings and imagine (mentally draw) the symbol
over the building as an affirmation of protection and blessing.

The divine presence symbol
Here is the divine presence symbol. It is a simple geometric design that is easy to remember:

1 – Draw a clockwise circle, starting at point A and

B going around 2 1/2 times, ending at point B.

2 – Draw a triangle starting at point B and going

counter-clockwise at least 2 times, ending at
point C.

C
3 – Draw a larger clockwise circle, starting at point
C and going around 3 times.

What do the shapes represent?

The divine presence symbol has three simple parts: a circle, a triangle, and a larger circle. Each
person must develop a personal, intuitive sense of what the shapes represent; here are some
ideas to consider as you start this exploration:
9 The top circle represents the Source. This could be God, Goddess, Mind, Universe, Deity,
Love, or anything you consider divine.
9 The triangle represents a cone of power, protection, creativity, intention, purpose, reaching
out, covering, horn of plenty, sharing, giving, providing, or shielding. It might represent a
wizard or alchemist’s cap, or a bishop’s miter. It signifies connection between a divine
Source and a receiver. The triangle can also represent a pyramid, believed by many to be a
sacred geometric shape.
9 The larger circle below the triangle represents the receiver. This could be you, someone else,
a home, office, or other building. It could be the earth, the universe, a womb, an intention or
prayer, or even a single cell in the body. The circle also represents community, relationships,
sacred space, cycles of life, eternity, and the wheel.

In discovering what the divine presence symbol means to you, it might be helpful to write a
statement that expresses your connection with the symbol. Remember, your understanding will
grow and deepen over time, and you will experience different insights or uses of the symbol as
you go.

Here are some example statements from people who have received the divine presence symbol
attunement:

“The top circle is God, and the triangle is like the pyramid on the dollar bill. It means blessings
will come to me from God. The bottom circle is my job.”

“The highest circle represents Mother, and she is spreading a quilt over me. I’m the big circle
underneath.”

“The first shape means Source, and coming from that is a cone of power that enables the whole
universe to function. For me, this means my life is part of the whole.”

Attunement to the divine presence symbol

The divine presence symbol is activated in a person’s life by an attunement (sometimes called
an initiation). Anyone who has received the attunement is able to attune others. If you are a Reiki
master, you already have experience receiving and giving attunements. Although the divine
presence symbol is not a Reiki symbol, sharing the attunement is much the same.

Frequently asked questions about the divine presence symbol

Q: Why is an attunement required? Can’t someone just learn the symbol and start using it?
A: Spiritual growth is often experienced in the relationship between a teacher and a student.
Attunement is an ancient and proven method to impart spiritual insight and potential to
others. Used lovingly for the highest good, attunement can be a powerful spiritual
experience. It does not conflict or question personal revelation or insight.

Q: What is the significance of blowing on the receiver’s head, heart, and hands?
A: Breath represents spirit. (In Greek, the word pneuma is the same as spirit.) However, it’s
important to note that we're not just blowing wind! Spirit, in this sense, is a divine presence.
For many people, spirit is a living entity (God, the Holy Spirit, angels, etc.). Jesus and other
masters used blowing the breath in their spiritual attunements. The warm, organic nature of
the breath is a wonderful representation of the divine presence.

Q: Can the divine presence symbol be used with Reiki or other energy symbols?
A: The divine presence symbol is a loving, personal expression of the sacred, and is
complementary with any energy symbol or system that is based upon love. You don’t have
to be a Reiki practitioner to use the divine presence symbol, but people who practice Reiki
usually find that the symbol works well with the Reiki symbols.

Q: Is the divine presence symbol or the attunement instructions copyrighted?

A: There is no copyright on the symbol or the attunement instructions. You may use this
material freely, but the author respectfully requests that you use the symbol as is, by name
and without modification. The symbol should be honored as a sacred endowment.
