Holy Fire: an ancient energy
Holy Fire® Reiki is a type of Reiki energy and a system of Reiki healing based on Holy Fire energy. Holy Fire energy has been active in the world since ancient times. The use of the word Holy in Holy Fire® III Reiki is not intended to have a religious meaning. It means ‘whole and complete‘ and it is how it is used in Holy Fire® III Reiki. The terminology used in this healing system is intended to be spiritual in nature and Holy Fire® III Reiki is a spiritual energy that creates wholeness through cleansing, healing, guidance and empowerment.
Holy Fire ® Reiki is a new form of Reiki that was introduced in January 2014 by William Lee Rand, founder and president of the International Center for Reiki Training. It is both powerful and gentle and provides purification, healing, empowerment and guidance. It is not something William Lee Rand designed or created, but something that came to him as part of healing sessions he had with two talented spiritual healers who channelled illumined beings.
Holy Fire energy is noticeably more refined and comes from a higher level of consciousness. Some of the qualities students have experienced include:
- Works continuously even when not thinking about it and spontaneously heals issues as they come up
- Always respects free will
- Heals deeply and quickly without distress
- Heals relationships and interactions with others
- Releases worry and replaces it with a sense of safety in a most pronounced way
- Spontaneously provides guidance that is palatable for every level of life experience
- Tends to develop all the personality traits that are healthy for a person to have such as love of self and others, kindness, patience, confidence, vitality, enthusiasm, optimism, trust, joy, peace and so forth
- One of the more wonderful effects is a feeling of being loved. This is a deep and refined feeling that is very nurturing
- Once received, it continues to develop itself to be more evolved and effective
“The Holy Fire® III system of healing increases one’s quality of consciousness at the same time it provides an extraordinary healing experience.”

Mikao Usui and the Usui Reiki Healing Method
Extract from the work of William Lee Rand
Mikao Usui, or Usui Sensei as he was called by Reiki students, was born on August 15, 1865 in the village of Taniai in Japan. In February 1922 he went to mount Kurama yama, a sacred mountain north of Kyoto to fast and meditate for 21 days. In March 1922 and at midnight of the twenty-first day, a powerful light suddenly entered his mind through the top of his head and he felt as if he had been struck by lightning; this caused him to fall unconscious. As the sun rose, he awoke and realized that whereas before he had felt very weak and near death from his fasting, he was now filled with an extremely enjoyable state of vitality that he had never experienced before; a miraculous type of high frequency spiritual energy had displaced his normal consciousness and replaced it with an amazingly new level of awareness.
He experienced himself as being the energy and consciousness of the Universe.
He started discovering how to work with this energy and in April 1922, he moved to Tokyo and started a healing society that he named Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai (Usui Reiki Healing Method Society). He also opened a Reiki clinic in Harajuku, Aoyama, Tokyo. There he taught classes and gave treatments. He later developed many of his practitioner techniques such as Gassho, Byosen scanning, Reiji-ho, Gyoshi ho, Seishin-to-itsu and so forth. He also developed a formal attunement method or Reiju kai, and the Reiki symbols of which he had only three. These are the three symbols that we currently receive in Reiki level 2. He did not have a Master symbol, which was later introduced by Hawayo Takata.
He called his system of healing Shin-Shin Kai-Zen Usui Reiki Ryo-Ho (The Usui Reiki Treatment Method for Improvement of Body and Mind) or in its simplified form Usui Reiki Ryoho (Usui Reiki Healing Method).
- The first degree of his training was called Shoden (First Degree) and was divided into four levels: Loku-Tou, Go-Tou, Yon-Tou and San-Tou. (Note that when Takata Sensei taught this level, which in the West we refer to as Reiki Level I, she combined all four levels into one. This is most likely why she did four attunements for Level I)
- The next degree was called Okuden (Inner Teaching) and had two levels: Okuden-Zen-ki (first part), and Okuden-Koe-ki (second part)
- The next degree was called Shinpiden (Mystery Teaching), which is what Western Reiki calls Master level. The Shinpiden level includes, Shihan-Kaku (assistant teacher) and Shihan (venerable teacher)
The Evolution of Reiki to Holy Fire® Reiki
There is no limit to the possibilities offered by Reiki. As demonstrated by Usui Sensei, Hayashi Sensei and Takata Sensei, Reiki is something that is meant to be developed. Reiki energy comes from an infinite source and because of this, regardless of how developed and evolved ones healing energy has become, one will always be channeling only a small portion of the potential healing energy that is available.
In June 1989, William Lee Rand (WLR) started teaching a new system called Usui/Tibetan system of Reiki. This system kept the four Usui symbols as taught by Takata Sensei and added the Tibetan symbols and violet breath as taught by Arthur Robertson for a total of six symbols. In 1997, He introduced the Karuna Reiki® system.
In 2014 WLR released the Tibetan symbols including the Tibetan Master symbol and the Tibetan Fire Serpent as well as the violet breath, and replaced them with the Holy Fire symbol. (All of the Usui symbols including the Power, Mental/Emotional, Distant and Master symbols were retained.) The attunement process was changed to an Ignition for the Master level and then later a Placement process for Reiki I&II and Advanced Reiki Training.
