What is Holy Fire® Reiki?

Holy Fire Reiki is a relatively new form of Reiki. The Holy Fire energy builds upon the traditional Usui Reiki system, bringing in an extremely high vibrational energy (a much higher vibrational energy than the human consciousness was able to work with at the time of Dr. Usui) and empowers the Usui Reiki energy and symbols with a higher level of energy. It has noticeably more refined energy and comes from a higher level of consciousness.

​

The word “Holy” in the name of Holy Fire Reiki is not meant to have a religious connotation, although some concepts are also used in religion. However, even with some religious concepts, Reiki is not religious but spiritual. The word “Holy” has a root meaning of being “whole” or “complete”. It creates wholeness in the receiver by bringing in purification, healing, empowerment, and guidance. It opens us to deep physical, mental, and emotional healing levels, raises our vibrational energy, strengthens our intuition, and empowers our spiritual development.

​

In the Holy Fire Reiki system, attunements (allowing you to connect with and channel the reiki energy) are now called “placements.” In the Master level class, students receive “ignitions,” which ignite the Holy Fire energy to allow them to pass the placements to their students. In the traditional Usui Reiki system, the hands-on attunements are passed through the teacher and flow into the student. In the Holy Fire Reiki system, since the energy comes from a higher level of consciousness, no contact is needed between the teacher and student. The Holy Fire energy comes directly to the student, guided by the teacher, allowing the students to have their own individualized experience and healing with the Holy Fire energy. Once the placement has occurred, the Holy Fire energy continues to develop within the student, becoming more evolved and effective.
