What Is Holy Fire® Reiki?

Holy Fire® Reiki is a form of Reiki introduced through the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) in 2014. It works with spiritually guided life force energy and is used for self-Reiki, Reiki sessions, and personal healing and spiritual development.

Holy Fire® Reiki developed from the Usui Reiki Ryoho tradition founded by Mikao Usui. William Lee Rand, founder and president of the ICRT, introduced Holy Fire® Reiki as an evolution within the Reiki system. The word “holy” refers to wholeness and completeness rather than religion, reflecting the system’s focus on purification, healing, empowerment, and guidance.

Who Can Learn Holy Fire® Reiki?

Holy Fire® Reiki can be learned by anyone interested in Reiki for personal healing, self-care, or working with others. You do not need previous experience with energy healing to begin Reiki training.

Reiki can also complement practices such as Western medicine, Chinese medicine, chiropractic care, counseling, massage, and other wellness therapies by supporting relaxation and overall well-being.

How Does Holy Fire® Reiki Work?

Holy Fire® Reiki works through spiritually guided life force energy that flows through the practitioner during a Reiki session or self-treatment. The practitioner does not direct or control the energy; instead, Reiki is allowed to flow naturally according to the recipient’s needs.

Holy Fire® Reiki can be experienced through hands-on or hands-off Reiki sessions and through personal Reiki practice. It is intended to support relaxation, balance, personal healing, and spiritual well-being.
