Holy Fire Reiki allows individuals to attain an extremely enjoyable state of vitality, felt by many to be a high-frequency spiritual energy that displaces one’s normal consciousness and replaces it with a higher, more enlightened level of awareness. Holy Fire Reiki heals deeply and gently, and soothes and calms interactions between people. Holy Fire Reiki replaces worry with a sense of safety and well-being. Holy Fire Reiki enables the individual to feel the wonderful effects of being loved in a nurturing way. Once received, Holy Fire Reiki continues to evolve and heal.

There are many types of Reiki healing energy and some have been around for thousands of years. Any system that uses Reiki energy can be called Reiki, and anyone can learn how to use Reiki energy. Some Reiki energy systems can be traced back to early Japan and Mikao Usui, or Usui Sensei as he was called. Prior to the Second World War, Usui Reiki was the predominate form of Reiki practiced throughout the world.

After World War II, Usui Reiki influenced by Hawaya Takata became more widely practiced. Takata Sensei felt the Japanese style of Reiki was too difficult so she simplified the system, developing a different attunement method for each level of Reiki, and teaching that the attunements empowered the symbols. The more simplified system of Takata Sensei was an important innovation of Usui Reiki Ryoho, producing effective and valuable results. If not for Takata Sensei, Reiki would most likely have fallen into obscurity after World War II when under United States control; it was required of those practicing any kind of healing to be licensed. Many Reiki teachers resisted and went underground and membership slowly declined. Many styles of Reiki have been practiced since Takata Sensei passed away; well over 150 are now in use.

In 2014, Usui/Holy Fire Reiki was developed by William Lee Rand of the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) and his spiritual counselor. The ICRT took the Usui/Tibetan system of Reiki and replaced the Tibetan symbols and violet breath with the Holy Fire symbol and energy. In this way Holy Fire Reiki was formed. All four Usui symbols are included in this system. There are easy, but powerful experiences, called ignitions in which one receives the energy at the master level. In the beginning levels, the student receives a Placement, which is a simple, yet powerful way of receiving the energy as a gift of Grace from Creator. Holy Fire Reiki is a perfect combination of the traditional and more contemporary Reiki practices.

Empower yourself discovery with the healing art of Holy Fire Reiki energy as you learn how to support your own healing journey and connect with your intuition.
