ABOUT

Reiki is created from two Japanese kanjis which are like our letters in  the alphabet. “Rei” means universal life force energy and “Ki” as “energy” . Together, the word means universal life force energy. Japanese kanjis tend to be esoteric, so many individuals interpret the “universal life force” as “creation energy” or a “God consciousness”.

Reiki practitioners act as conduits or a “hollow bone” to channel this high-frequency life force energy through their hands in treatments. This is possible because Reiki practitioners receive an “attunement” in their training, which opens up their energy channels. This awakening of their “ki” activates their palm chakras, thus giving them the ability to pass this healing energy on to others and have it as their own, navigating life force energy.

Holy Fire Reiki was first introduced from the International Center of Reiki Training on January 23, 2018, I first took my Holy Fire Reiki Training on January 23, 2019. Having been an Usui Reiki Ryoho and Karuna Master Teacher for nine years, I was curious about this “new style” of Reiki. I have personally found adding Holy Fire Reiki to my current system was like an “upgrade” to my healing sessions and capacity to channel energy. More specifically, it felt like it was stronger and clients noticed the difference as did I in treatments and training.

It is important to note that most Westerners have their Reiki lineage tracing back to Mikao Usui who is considered the “founder” of Reki. That is where my Reiki lineage traces back to and the beauty is in all of my classes students get the Usui techniques, symbols, and methods from Japan in my classes. More current research as stated on the ICRT indicates that there were at least four other individuals providing a system of Reiki in Japan prior to Usui. In fact, Mataji Kawakami, who was a Ryojutsu-ka (therapist) and president of Trinity Research, founded a healing practice he called 霊気療法 Reiki Ryoho in 1914. This was monumental as he had the term Reiki Ryoho recognized by the medical and educational experts of the time and wrote a book titled, Reiki Ryoho to Sono Koka, 霊気療法とその効果 , Reiki Healing and its Effects, published in 1919. It is more than likely given the other energy practitioners at this time that Usui put his name in front of Reiki Ryoho to distinguish his style of Reiki. 

With understanding the history of Reiki we can understand that the “Holy Fire Reiki” introduced through the ICRT is not just a complement to the system of Reiki but also very much the evolution of this natural healing system.

Energy moves through our body through specific pathways called nadis and meridians. Energy also flows through energy centers within our body known as chakras.

Whenever we are not feeling well we may have low energy, interference, blockages, excess, and the like. Different types of modalities, such as Reiki’s natural system of healing, helps to balance the energy within your body on all levels: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. That means Reiki can aid in balancing YOUR ENERGY. Because Reiki is holistic, it helps in all areas. More specifically, it can release stuck energy, restore mental and emotional well being, increase vitality, and improve the efficacy of your overall life force known as ki, chi, prana, or energy, through treatment sessions and training. There is a saying, “Reiki finds you when you need it and it gives you what you need.” If you are reading this, listen to your intuition and inner-knowing (gnosis) and give Reiki a try. Truly, this energy continues to be a wonderful tool to help navigate life with its healing benefits.

In a session, we start with a mini-pre-conference. Clients identify what they are seeking and intending from the Reiki session. If a client attends monthly often the conversation is geared around changes and observation since the last treatment. Then, the client is fully clothed and on a massage table, typically sessions last  for an hour. We start  sessions by stating a general intention for healing of the highest good with a willingness to release what no longer serves and to receive these high frequency healing energies. Then the session begins and it  consists of light touch on or hands above the body.  After the session, there is a post-session where observations about the treatment are shared by both the practitioner and the client.

Yes! It is important to note that Rhiana’s sessions can be just Reiki. However, as an experienced practitioner that is trained in multiple healing modalities, clients can indicate if they would like those services before the session. That can include light language activations, crystalline soul healing, the use of crystals on or around the body. Rhiana is also trained in Shamanism, and she provides shamanic clearings as well as a synergistic approach of weaving together Reiki and Shamanic Soul retrievals.

Currently, Reiki is not just used in private practices by practitioners, but in hospitals and within the medical field across the nation.There are over 800 hospitals that recognize Reiki as a holistic modality that aids in healing. This is mostly in cancer units, palliative care, and birthing centers. Science’s recognition and current study are attributed to the decades of anecdotal reports of healings within individuals; therefore, it is being studied more closely as it provides help with pain management and accelerates healing more quickly without any invasive measures. 

Personally, I have trained doctors, dentists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals seeking this holistic modality. I’ve also done post surgery sessions to help individuals with their surgery recovery. Reiki is a complementary tool, not a replacement for medical care. 

If you are looking for a complementary therapy that is relaxing and restorative, try a Reiki session. If you are looking to empower your own healing gifts, then perhaps a class is right for you. Reiki is simple and easy to learn, although it does take time to develop and cultivate your healing capabilities.
