This was given to me by my reiki master and I have found it to be very powerful and peaceful.
Om Padma Pyra
A few years ago, during a Reiki meditation, I received a symbol. There is a point within the meditation where the Ascended Masters, Beings of Light, and Angels come to you bearing a gift. The gift I received was this symbol. I have named it Om Padma Pyra. It is actually a lotus flower contained within a pyramid. In the meditation, I saw a white lotus within a purple pyramid. To me, the color purple is for healing. The combination of color, lotus, and pyramid came to me to represent spiritual healing through enlightenment bringing about ascension.
How to use this symbol.
I visualize the individual seated, in lotus position, upon the lotus flower, within the pyramid. This creates a deep connection for the individual to Source, to the Ascended Masters, that they may find spiritual healing.
Below I have included some information about pyramids, Om, and the lotus flower.
Pyramids
The meaning of the word pyramid is "fire in the middle," derived from the Latin pyra (Greek pur ), meaning fire or light. What is this fire in the middle and how is it created?

A pyramid structure, with closed or open sides, creates a vital centre of electromagnetic energy if it is constructed to the same proportional dimensions as the Great Pyramid of Giza and if one of its straight sides is facing true north. As long as the pyramid is aligned to the north-south magnetic axis it will become "charged." The space within the pyramid accumulates and intensifies energy, generating an energy field with unusual properties.
The pyramid is a symbol of ascension.
Om
Om is the primeval, audible and inaudible sound of Hindu creation, also thought to mysteriously embody the very essence of the universe. Chanted at the beginning and end of prayers and mantras and also used as a form of meditation, it is pronounced with three sounds, A-U-M. It is written in Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, and as early as the sixth century was used to mark the beginning of incantations and inscriptions. Today, it is seen everywhere in Buddhist writings. The symbol represents the four states of consciousness: sleeping without dreams, dreaming, being awake and satori (the transcendental state of enlightenment).
The Lotus
The Lotus flower is held sacred in the Hindu, Buddhist, and Egyptian religions. The Lotus is a type of water lily, which rises from muddy waters to blossom, making it a symbol of purity of the soul within the material world, and an emblem of resurrection.
The Lotus is one of the eight auspicious signs of Buddhism- an eight petalled lotus used in Buddhist mandalas symbolizes cosmic harmony, a thousand petalled lotus, spiritual illumination. A bud symbolizes potential. The well known Buddhist mantra, "Om mane padme," refers to the "jewel in the lotus," enlightenment.
Colors of the Lotus
White lotus
This symbolizes Bodhi, the state of total mental purity and spiritual perfection, and the pacification of our nature. It generally has eight petals corresponding to the Noble Eightfold Path of the Good Law. It is the lotus found at the heart of the Garbhadhatu Mandala, being the womb or embryo of the world. It is characteristic of the esoteric sects, and the lotus of the Buddhas.

Red lotus
This symbolizes the original nature of the heart (hrdaya). It is the lotus of love, compassion, passion, activity and all the qualities of the heart. It is the lotus of Avalokitesvara.
Blue lotus
This is the symbol of the victory of the spirit over the senses, of intelligence and wisdom, of knowledge. It is always represented as a partially opened bud, and (unlike the red lotus) its center is never seen. It is the lotus of Manjusri, and also one of the attributes of Prajnaparamita, the embodiment of the 'perfection of wisdom'.
Pink lotus
This is the supreme lotus, generally reserved for the highest deity, sometimes confused with the white lotus it is the lotus of the historical Buddha.
Purple lotus
This is the mystic lotus, represented only in images belonging to a few esoteric sects. The flowers may be in full bloom and reveal their heart, or in a bud. They may be supported by a simple stem, a triple stem (symbolizing the three divisions of Garbhadhatu: Vairocana, lotus and vajra), or a quintuple stem (symbolizing the Five Knowledges of Vajradhatu). The eight petals represent the Noble Eightfold Path and the eight principal acolyte deities of the central deity on the mandalas.
