Reiki is an alternative form of healing that utilizes energy, Ki, or universal life force energy to heal. This universal life force energy is typically transferred through the hands where the practitioner gently touches or hovers their hands over a client to allow the energy to flow and provide healing- whether physical, emotional, spiritual, or mental. Reiki energy is believed to be intuitive and flows to where healing is needed.

Rei and Ki are two Japanese words, the former meaning God’s wisdom or Higher Power and the latter meaning lifeforce energy. Reiki is said to have been found in Japan by an awakened individual named Mikao Usui. However, this universal life force energy may have been called many names prior to Usui.

Reiki has many benefits, and receiving a Reiki session from a practitioner will typically leave you feeling relaxed and peaceful. Reiki has been known to release fears, traumas, and pain. It is frequently used as a complementary healing modality and is known to boost the promotion of healing. To become a Reiki practitioner, one must be attuned by a Reiki Master to open up one’s unlimited access to the universal life force energy.

Anyone can learn and be attuned to Reiki. There are no prerequisites to attaining Reiki 1 attunement, and one does not have to follow a religion or faith- as Reiki is neither of those. Reiki is accessible to all.

Holy Fire® Reiki is a newly refined Reiki energy introduced to William Rand in 2014. This refined energy comes from a higher level of consciousness and allows Reiki Masters to attune students differently, untethered by the Reiki Master, through a process called placement. These placements are so potent they can be done virtually- across time and space. I will be using Holy Fire to provide placements ‘attunements’ for Reiki students.
