Brief history of traditional Usui Reiki

Reiki Master Mikao Usui

Traditional Usui Reiki, an energy healing system with its roots in esoteric Buddhism, was established in Japan in April 1922 by a Zen Buddhist monk named Mikao Usui. Reiki is a mystical healing energy that was spiritually transmitted to Mikao Usui Sensei (sensei means teacher in Japanese) while he was undertaking an arduous spiritual quest of 21-day fast and meditation on Mount Kurama in Kyoto, Japan in March 1922. After receiving his Reiki transmission on the mountain, Mikao Usui Sensei began healing and teaching Reiki widely throughout Japan. However, from the inception of Usui Reiki healing system in 1922 until 1937, Reiki was popularized and practiced only in Japan and unheard of anywhere else in the world.

 

A pivotal point in Reiki's timeline came shortly before World War II. Due to the imminent threat of World War II looming large over Japan and the rest of the world, Reiki left Japan and was brought to the United States where Reiki's western roots was first planted on the Kauai Island of Hawaii in 1937. Since then, Usui Reiki healing system has traveled far and wide throughout the islands of Hawaii, mainland United States and the Americas, and four corners of the Earth. Reiki has healed countless lives as well as produced millions of Reiki healers all over the world. Traditional Usui Reiki (named after its founder) is the Reiki that originally emigrated out of Japan. Reiki is immensely popular and is the most widely practiced energy healing modality in the United States and worldwide.

​

Over the past century, traditional Usui Reiki has evolved into many different styles of Reiki by modification or integration with other healing techniques while some or most parts of the Usui Reiki system are preserved and practiced. Usui/Holy Fire Reiki is one of those Usui Reiki hybrids.

Birth of Holy Fire® Reiki

Holy Fire Reiki is a system of healing which utilizes the Holy Fire energy. Holy Fire is a highly refined healing energy that comes from the higher spiritual dimension. Mentioned in the Bible, Holy Fire energy has been active in the world since beginningless time.

 

Holy Fire Reiki came into existence in January 2014 as a result of an encounter between Jesus Christ and Mr. William Rand, an American Usui Reiki Master and Teacher. From the channeled information given to Mr. William Rand, we understand that Holy Fire energy comes directly from God Consciousness through Jesus Christ. According to Mr. William Rand, "While Jesus was the Spiritual Master who introduced Holy Fire Reiki, Jesus is part of a group called Brothers and Sisters of the Light. This group is a combined force of all Illumined Beings (Ascended Masters) from whom all the world religions and spiritual paths originated. Previously these Illumined Beings were in the formless world but came into the world of form so They could assist us in the development, teaching, and use of Holy Fire Reiki for healing humanity and our planet Earth."

​

From 2014 - 2018, a series of "meetings" took place between Mr. William Rand and Jesus Christ in which Mr. Rand received instructions from Jesus on how to devise, formulate, and establish the Holy Fire Reiki system and to make this healing system available to the world. By September 2018, the construction of Holy Fire Reiki healing system was completed and established as Usui/Holy Fire® Reiki.

​

What is Usui/Holy Fire® Reiki

Usui/Holy Fire Reiki is essentially a fusion of traditional Usui Reiki healing system and Holy Fire energy. Usui/Holy Fire Reiki system was built almost entirely on the foundation of traditional Usui Reiki system including the use of all Usui symbols and techniques. The main deviation from traditional Usui Reiki is found in the attunement process where Holy Fire attunement method replaces the traditional Usui attunement.

 

In Holy Fire attunement, Holy Fire Reiki conducts the attunement directly on a student without going through the instructor. The bypassing of the human channel was designed to ensure the quality and integrity of the attunement process. Furthermore, Holy Fire Reiki scans each student and gives an individualized attunement according to each student's level of personal development, thus each student receives exactly what he or she needs to move forward on one's healing and spiritual path. Comparatively in traditional Usui Reiki, a standard attunement protocol is applied to all students.

​

In Usui/Holy Fire Reiki, we work not only with the Reiki energy but also with the guidance of the Ascended Masters. Based on our clinical experiences, we can testify that Usui/Holy Fire Reiki produces strong, effective healing power and quick results, gives ease and facility for usage in healing and teaching. ​​

Practitioner Certification
Levels 1 & 2

The Usui/Holy Fire Reiki practitioner certification program comprises of two parts, Levels 1 and 2. Once completed the training for both levels, you are certified to practice Usui/Holy Fire Reiki professionally.

​

Our Usui/Holy Fire Reiki courses give you the complete training of traditional Usui Reiki and Holy Fire Reiki. We also retain the traditional Usui Reiki attunement in addition to the Holy Fire Reiki attunement to give you the experience and understanding of both traditional Usui Reiki and Holy Fire Reiki methodologies.

​

Reiki is experiential learning. Once you complete a Reiki course, it's imperative that you continue daily practice on yourself and others in order to develop proficiency in your Reiki skills and knowledge. 

​

​

Reiki level 1

​

  • This is the foundational course as you begin your Reiki journey. It provides you with the knowledge of Reiki history and principles, an understanding of the human energy system, techniques and treatment protocol to facilitate healing for self and others, and hands-on practice. Level 1 course will give you access to the Reiki energy via an initiation process, also referred to as an attunement. More about Reiki attunement

​

  • The foundational level is immensely important for your development in the Reiki practice. Likened to the growth and developmental stages of a plant, Level 1 is similar to the gestation phase of planting a seed in the soil. In the Reiki gestation phase, which is the interim between Level 1 and Level 2 training, the Reiki transmission that you receive in Level 1 class as well as your daily practice continue to heal and transform you at all levels of your being physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. This process establishes the energetic foundation upon which you will further develop in Reiki Level 2 and beyond.​​

​

  • After Level 1 course, you should wait approximately three weeks before taking a Level 2 course. 

​

​

​

​

Reiki level 2

​

  • We can compare Level 2 training to the stage where the shoots of a budding plant break through to the surface. At this stage, you're ready to receive further training. Reiki Level 2 upgrades your Reiki power, gifts you with three sacred Usui Reiki Symbols via an attunement process, gives you additional Reiki skills and advanced techniques that are not available to you at Level 1, and prepares you to establish a professional Reiki healing practice.​

​

  • Prerequisites for Level 2

​​

We accept only students who had taken Reiki Level 1 course from Dharma Reiki & Acupuncture for Level 2 training. This is to ensure that Reiki students who are certified by Dharma Reiki & Acupuncture receive the complete training according to our guidelines. Even if you took Level 1 from another instructor, you need to retake our Level 1 course before advancing to Level 2.

​​

​

Reiki Master Certification

Reiki is more than a healing modality; it's a path for personal development and transformation, a path of spiritual growth and service.

Master level is the highest and final step to take in the Reiki healing system. The Master training opens the portal to the realm of higher consciousness and assists you on your journey of inner spiritual development. Your higher chakras, which were previously dormant, will be opened and activated, resulting in heightened and expanded spiritual awareness. Your heart center will be profoundly open and uplifted to help you embrace and embody the Christ principle, the highest expression of Love. The Master level is a journey of going inward; to heal the deep wounds and karma that you carry in your soul consciousness of many lifetimes past; it positively transforms your mindset and helps you to live a more refined, joyful, loving, and spiritually conscious life; and prepares you to walk the path of humble and dedicated service for healing humanity.

 

Embarking on the journey of Master training, the focus is not so much about learning more techniques and methods for healing others but rather the healing focus now turns upon yourself. Undertaking mastership training is a commitment to the unending journey of your personal and spiritual cultivation, to become the "Master" of yourself, to walk the walk and truly embody the spirit and service of Reiki. Ultimately, the path becomes you and you are the path. This is the highest ideal of the Reiki path. 

​​​​​​​

The undertaking of Reiki Mastership is a rewarding joy and tremendous blessing. Especially for those who have done the necessary preparations to step into the role of a Reiki teacher, it's a privilege and sacred honor, a responsibility not to be taken lightly, to carry the mantle of Reiki for future generations of practitioners. ​​​​​​​

​​​​

​

  • Master course confers upon you the Usui Master attunement and Holy Fire Master attunement, the Usui Master symbol and Holy Fire Master symbol, upgrade and increase your Reiki power, deepen your practice and broaden your knowledge, accelerate your spiritual development, install and ignite the Holy Fire flame in you.

 

  • Completion of the Master course certifies you to teach and initiate others into Usui/Holy Fire Reiki. â€‹

​

  • Prerequisites for the Master course: 1) you must have had Usui/Holy Fire Reiki Levels 1 and 2 from Dharma Reiki & Acupuncture, 2) you have maintained consistent daily self-healing, 3) you have had at least five years of active professional Reiki practice in the public domain.​​

APRIL BUI, LAC
Usui/Holy Fire Reiki Master-Instructor

Welcome, and thank you for your interest in becoming a Holy Fire Reiki practitioner. I am a certified Holy Fire Reiki Master & Instructor, traditional Usui Reiki Master, acupuncturist and Chinese medicine herbalist. I received my first Reiki training and completed the Master level in year 2000 in traditional Usui Reiki, since then I've been an Usui Reiki practitioner for over 25 years. In 2022 I undertook a second round of Reiki training, this time in Holy Fire Reiki. On August 28, 2022 the day of my Holy Fire Reiki Master initiation, I received a clear message from Reiki telling me I've done enough healing and that I need to start teaching. This began my path as a Holy Fire Reiki Instructor. Besides keeping a full-time practice with acupuncture and Reiki, I teach Holy Fire Reiki classes twice every month. It's my great joy and honor to carry out the assignment that Reiki has given me in training future Reiki practitioners. I look forward to sharing this beautiful journey with you; it's an immeasurable blessing of a lifetime. More about April​​
