What the heck is Holy Fire® Reiki?

Well I guess the easy answer for me is absolute, pure Divine Magic.... but many people would say that about normal Reiki too... so why have I fallen so in love with this new Reiki?

I took my Usui Reiki Level one back in 2007 and started teaching in 2011 and from that very first day, well.... my world changed for the better. I went on to teach Karuna® Reiki (which is your next step up from Usui Master) and I have taught Usui & Karuna to many many folks and we have had the most amazing time and wonderful experiences. I didn't believe it could get any better..... until one day I began to itch. You know that itch you get when the Universe is trying to get your attention and you just keep sticking your fingers in your ears while shouting "la la la la la la".... and... as we all know, once the Universe tries to get your attention, it won't stop until you actually listen.

William Lee Rand is the guy who brought Karuna® Reiki to life and I have always semi worshiped him. He has spent his life travelling the world learning and soaking up all things Reiki. He has traveled to Japan and studied with the Japanese Masters... I mean, if there's something about Reiki that William does not know, well... it's just not worth knowing! Perhaps the one thing I love most about him is his absolute belief that Reiki needs to evolve. He has worked with Usui and Jesus (in energy form obvs) and goes by the teaching that Reiki will always evolve to meet the needs of the people. Now our world is in constant transition - now more than ever before so we NEED a deeper level of Healing energy if we are gonna get this planet shifted up vibrationally! And this is where Holy Fire® Reiki comes in.

William had asked for something bigger, deeper, stronger - something to help this planet and her people lift their vibrations and bring about more Healing. It was literally days later when he was teaching a Master course when the Universe answered and the Holy Fire® was dropped into Williams mind. He began teaching it and over time has refined it into what it is today. It will continue to change and grow because we as humans will continue to change and grow.

Anyway...back to my itch.... So I was like "What Universe? What is it you want me to do?" and in response I kept coming back to Holy Fire® Reiki. I'd open my laptop and the course web page would be open... I'd even find myself doodling little flames.... BUT the course seemed a bit expensive. At the time I was a single Mam and forking out £1429 for something just for me seemed a lot! I could't justify it. So I said to the Universe, "Right Universe, If this is what I need to do, then get me that money!"..... 2 days later I received a letter from my bank advising me that my PPI claim (which I had never made!) was due to be paid out and I would be receiving £1429. Yes... literally the cost of the course to the pound. You just can't argue with that!

So, In May 2019 I hopped in my car and made my way down to Glastonbury Abbey where I spent 4 days with William (and like 30 other people) finding out for myself what this Holy Fire® business was all about. I was nervous. I was skeptical.... I mean the way I had been Reiki-ing for years was wonderful.... did I need this? It all seemed a bit new and different.... but I figured, if it wasn't for me then I could just go back to the way I had always practiced and taught.... I never did. The Holy Fire® filled me up. It gave me everything I didn't know I was missing and I have never looked back. Now I want to spread it as far and wide as I can. I want everyone in the world to feel this crazy flamey Magic!

Since then, I have taught lots of folks Holy Fire® Reiki. I have taken many of my Usui Masters through the course and just like me, they had their mind and heart blown wide open!

So... after a bit of my usual waffle let's get down to business.....

How is Usui Holy Fire® Reiki different?

• Holy Fire IS Usui Reiki.... it just brings in a higher vibration of energy.

• On a Holy Fire® course, you get all of the normal Usui teachings PLUS the new Holy Fire® stuff.

• Teachers - We don't use the Tibetan symbols (Fire Serpent & Tibetan Dai Co Myo' - We Do still use the Usui Dai Co Myo) We get a new Holy Fire® symbol that works at a higher level.

• No more 'Attunements'. In the past, to hook someone up to the Reiki vibe, we would carry out individual attunements. The teacher would draw the energy down through themself and into the student. When William was given the Holy Fire®, he was guided to stop this process as the student's connection heavily depended upon the teacher's own vibration. Now I am sure most of us teachers take excellent care of our energy and vibration, especially leading up to a Reiki course HOWEVER.... we need to ask ourself, why does a student need a middle man? Why can't they plug diectly into the source? In some cases, the student teacher relationship has drifted into 'control' and I have personal experiences of this happening!

• A teacher is now there to share knowledge, to guide and facilitate the student's learning and connection but we have no physical or energetic link between the student and their own Reiki energy. The middle man has gone and the student has a direct line to the Source of the energy.

• What we do now are Placements (for levels 1 & 2) and Ignitions for Masters, along with a range of meditative Reiki Experiences. Personally and as a teacher, I have found these to be unbelievably powerful.

• As the new way to tune into the Reiki energy is done through meditation, we can teach online!

• We teach level 1, level 2, Usui Master (Master Practitioner & Master Teacher together) then Holy Fire® Karuna® Master.

• The Holy Fire® is a Guide... it's not just a symbol but a Source to turn to for guidance and it brings that guidance in a way that is understandable no matter where you are on your self development or spiritual journey.

• It works continuously - yup... all the damn time and spontaneously heals stuff when it comes up.

• It Heals without distress - no need for tears and reliving trauma. It just gets in deep and does it's thing so we just find ourselves feeling so much better without having to dig through it.

• It Heals relationships with others.

• Brings in a deep sense of safety releasing anxiety.

• It works on all of our lovely personality traits on a daily basis, lifting our levels of love, compassion, kindness, patience, confidence, self worth, vitality, enthusiasm, optimism, gratitude, joy, peace.....

• Makes you feel loved and worthy of being loved. You are never alone.

• Once you plug into the Holy Fire®, it continues to strengthen and develop within you each and every day.

• Brings forth and helps us to embrace out True and Authentic Self, giving us the self love, the confidence and the courage we need to keep walking that path of true happiness and purpose.

• Holy Fire® works with any lineage... any type of Reiki just making it even more powerful!

• And if you already have taken steps on your Reiki journey, you do not have to start at level 1 again. You simply take the next step that is for you!

So there we have it. I hope I have helped you see why for me, Holy Fire® is absolutely the way forward. Back in 2007, Reiki changed my life and I genuinely didn't think it could get any better but this... this is something else.
