An introduction to Karuna Reiki®
In 1989, William Lee Rand, Founder of the International Center for Reiki Training, began to receive non-Usui Reiki symbols and attunement techniques from other Reiki masters. He later began experimenting with some of them together with a number of his best students. They asked for guidance and came up with a set of symbols and attunements that seemed to have the best energy. William Lee Rand did not channel any of these symbols, but he was guided in the further development of the attunement process that in 1995 eventually evolved into a new system of Reiki which he called Karuna Reiki®.
The meaning of Karuna
“Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is used in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is translanted to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others and could also be translated as “compassionate action.” When individuals experience enlightenment, they report that all beings are known as one.
Karuna is the motivating quality of all enlightened beings who are working to end suffering on Earth. They continually send an unlimited amount of healing energy and guidance to us, but not all are receptive to it. As you develop Karuna in yourself, not only are you helping others, but you also become more receptive to the Karuna that is being sent by all enlightened beings. Thus your healing is quickened as well”.– William Lee Rand

The Holy Fire Karuna Reiki® Master Class
This Holy Fire Karuna Reiki® Master class is taught only by Karuna Reiki Masters registered with the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT). All Master teachers have agreed to abide by a code of ethics, minimum teaching standards, a standard curriculum and practice the attunements as they were developed by the ICRT.
All attunements are given in person. All registered Karuna Reiki Masters have a lineage which can be traced to a teacher licensed by the ICRT, and ultimately to William Lee Rand.
Karuna Reiki® has 8 session symbols and at first had 4 master symbols. After Holy Fire Reiki came into being, William Lee Rand was guided to upgrade it to Holy Fire Karuna Reiki® and make the Holy Fire symbol the master symbol.
The energy has a more definite feeling to it. It works on the emotional and spiritual levels and also can help one become more grounded. Those who receive the attunements report experiences with their guides, angels, and higher self and feel the healing presence of other enlightened beings.
