Each
of the four Reiki symbols has an accompanying Japanese
mantra/phraze - frequently referred to as a jumon ('spell'
or 'incantation'). In 'western' lineage Reiki this jumon
is commonly used as the symbol's name.
The
jumon accompanying Symbol 2 is: "sei he ki"
(or "sei heiki")
Just as with the jumon "choku rei", there
has been some debate as to the precise meaning of "sei
he(i) ki".
In Japan, when actually presented in written form, the jumon
for Symbol 2 is generally not written in kanji characters
(which would provide a clear indication of the meaning),
but rather in katakana (one of two Japanese phonetic
syllabaries used in addition to kanji ideograms)
Unlike
kanji which allude to the meaning of the words,
katakana merely record the sounds of the words.
The
jumon for Symbol 2 has been written in katakana
both as sei he ki:
.
. . . . . . . ............................... .
and
as sei heiki:
.
. . . . . . . ............................. . 
As to
possible kanji forms of the jumon, (and therefore
implied meaning) it would seem that we must rely on some
'educated' speculation...
When
written as:
.
. . . . . . . ............................... . .
Seiheki
refers
to disposition;
inclination; characteristic; idiosyncrasy.
However, as stated, this jumon has also been given
as sei heiki.
Sei heiki is, I feel, quite apt, as, written
in the following kanji:
.
. . . . . . . . .. ...... .... ............... .
it can refer to emotional calmness or unconcern. (sei
here implies: emotion; feelings; passion.
heiki = calmness; composure; unconcern. )
When written as:
.
. . . . . . . . .. ...... .... ............... .
Sei
implies something Spiritual, Holy or Sacred. Again,
heiki = calmness; composure; unconcern - thus implying:
'Spiritual Composure' - the perfect antidote for mental-emotional
dis-order.

issues, including anxiety, stress, nervousness, fear,
depression, etc.; and in the treating of addictions.
It can also be used to help with the release of 'wound
