What would the Bishop think hearing about Jesus in HFR and Christians healing from trauma from their religious experience? Japanese Reiki Techniques . Just because something presents itself as benevolent and powerful is no reason to mindlessly merge our precious life force with it. I cannot think of another form of Reiki that has distanced its beliefs from its students so ardently as William has. Maybe we can discover the true message of all this all in ourselves. You will be able to teach all four levels of Holy Fire Karuna Reiki®, two practitioner levels and two master levels after taking this class. I contacted the Reiki Center with this email: “Hello. It is important to keep your attention inwardly to see if the Holy Fire energy says something more about this doubt that is within us. then they will dial me in to it. If it is there, then it is available to all who ask. Now… granted… I did not try to order manuals, so I don’t know for sure if this is really case. I believe that William still sells these manuals (Karuna) from his site. I have had a thriving practice for over 5. What is done is done, and it is clear what the rationale, and plans were regarding financial exploitation. I really want to trust and hope I am drawn to this for a reason… My Holy Fire training has seemed almost to just happen. First of all, my teacher does not go on rants about Jesus like some of you are saying. There is no requirement to take a holy fire class, and your connection with reiki or the source is not at all less valuable. However, i practice many other religions and this attunement required me to “let my guides go”. His guides on creating a Reiki practice are terribly out of date in today’s internet connected world but he hasn’t bothered to update them. New! The values and spiritual orientation of a true Reiki Master. They would of course go to the teacher with the latest and greatest teachings, I suspect you knew that as well. Thank you for your response although I feel that it has ben a long time coming. Thank you so much for posting this information. Please note that I stated “Usui Tibetan Reiki” and not Usui Reiki. I have recently being aware of this holy fire thing and my intuition says to stay away from it. I have been teaching Usui Reiki and Karuna Reiki since 2013. Just a few days ago, I decided to journey to the source of the Sacred Fire and ask for the attunement. I agree with those that say that Mr. Rand seems to be looking for more money with his changes. If he indeed said this I have to ask why all the hoopla? . The comments were pretty strong back in 2014. is it all just mental? One wonders why it is said that the experiences are deeper than Usui Reiki. It heals the shadow self. The already Karuna masters did notice a deeper and stronger connection with the Holy Fire Reiki then regular Karuna Reiki. manual.Be prepared for a big laugh.Shame William said the reason he updated is because over the last few years people have been changing at diluting the Karuna system, and he was called to do this for that reason. Some find it not a good idea to let go our guides, because they will be replaced by something else. They also convey a power structure which is “top down” and has historically not been respectful or empowering to women. I’m Julie. Reiki Blessings to all. As I thought long and hard about learning this new system the more I was pushed away from it. How the energy feels as it flows changes. When one meditates on thie Holy Fire energy, it seems pure and light. I much prefer Japanese Reiki, and it is based on spiritual practices and levels far above what I have so far seen demonstrated by any Reiki Master so far. We have to keep an open mind. Mr. Rand says that “Holy Fire Reiki” will heal the trauma experienced by many–myself included–who were Christians at one time. He taught her to use Reiki for forgiveness. I was drawn to take the Holy Fire Karuna Master class for many reasons, one being the sacred Ground on which it was held. I feel so much better knowing I am not alone regarding this. Karuna is the motivating quality of all enlightened beings who are working to end suffering on Earth. I already have a direct connection to Spirit. The Usui/Holy Fire Master attunement which increases the strength of your Reiki energy. My issue is not with Holy Fire Reiki, it’s that had I not taken the “new” version of William’s Holy Fire I would’ve been invalidated as a Reiki Master/Teacher, meaning I could not teach also invalidating all of students teachers. Read how Reiki heals real life issues. Can we just assume if this is true? So far, nothing I have read supports this. I am doing this for myself not to teach. Another misconception is that a Reiki master will have to retake all their classes in order to teach Holy Fire Reiki. Hello I just took the Holy Fire Karuna Master Teacher last weekend. You are correct in that, and just as I have stated to others I am not obligated to take Holy Fire, however, up until very recently if I did not take Holy Fire I could no longer teach Master Level Reiki unless I had taken Holy Fire at an expense I already paid to be a Karuna and Ususi Reiki Master. Yet this is what William Rand is suggesting regarding Holy Fire Reiki, at least this how it seems in my mind any way. I keep reminding myself my goal is healing and relieving suffering, but I am panicking to go through with Holy Fire II and the Karuna training. Often they decide to be spiritual rather than religious, but because of the religious trauma they carry with them, they do not like using the words God, Holy Spirit or Jesus, but instead often use the word Source or Creator or Universal Spirit or something similar. And in fact, we continue to provide class manuals for those continuing to practice and teach the Usui/Tibetan system of Reiki. I hope not. Staying away from Rand, and staying to the original, pure, true, principles taught by Usui. I am grateful and glad I took this class, for me it feels like an upgrade into higher frequencies. I was taught by one of Rand’s students who wisely found his materials lacking and made the decision not to use them to give her students a more complete and authentic experience. I have been hearing about the Holy Fire Reiki and thought about taking it. When Holy Fire Reiki was first spoken of I admit that my interest was piqued. The Holy Fire® symbol is given for a total of five symbols for the entire system. Hi Curtis, Cos I too have spent time and money to be a practitioner and again the same to be a master teacher. . The main contents of this course are: – Holy Fire® III Karuna Reiki® and its origin. It is complete with eight practitioner symbols, one master symbol, three ignitions and two meditations that are guided directly by the Holy Fire. It’s now 2018 and Holy Fire is part of the process. I am not displeased with Holy Fire William I am displeased with you and how you decided to handle this, and you have yet to take responsibility for what you have created, a mess and a debacle. Has anyone else had this issue? Uh,I feel William has become more of a egotistical capitalist than a guru. I understand the Holy Fire energy is not the same and our guides are no longer present. Each person responding has been trying to help you understand this. How Does It Heal? Thus your healing is quickened as well. I do have a mystical relationship with Jesus and down with that. Maybe like an online school as opposed to going to class? Do I agree with removing the Tibetan symbols? I was attuned in levels 1,2, and ART with the Usui style using Rands materials so I received the original Master book. Also, as there were several witches, goddess folowers, buddhists, and others in the class, the discussion did come up anout the whole “why do we have to refer to jesus all the time?” We were told that “Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit are not religious” and that the only reason we have a problem with those terms is that we “suffered religious trauma”. I loved the energy and have already in a short time have begun to see how it is working. This coincides with ACIM and other methods. It is challenging to know what is good and right in this esoteric energetic world. For me, I will continue feeling honored as a Usui Master Teacher and will continue my practice as such. I want to trust and feel good about this, but my first response is annoyed! All I can speak about is my own experience. As I said in my blog, how would you enjoy it if William changed his mind in oh let’s say a year and that Holy Fire was no longer valid and you needed to retake Master Level? Now I hear that Jesus and the third heaven is in this? I have spoken to William, he has responded to some of my concerns. You do not need to retake all your classes to use the holy fire. Reiki is a Japanese word that means universal life-force energy, and is an ancient holistic energy technique for stress reduction and relaxation that promotes healing and wholeness. I may still go down the Holy Fire route sometime in the future. Holy Fire Reiki is good for helping us connect more clearly to divine guidance. Actually using this logic, if one were already whole and complete in the way implied, then one would not need an attunement to begin with as one would already be attuned to Reiki. I will not discourage anyone from going on to learn Holy Fire Reiki. Lineage as it is used with Reiki refers to the physical person who originally channeled the energy. William Rand is very hypocritical in saying that others were “diluting” Karuna Reiki when he himself, along with Arthur Robertson, diluted Reiki as taught by Takata. I have been teaching Karuna Reiki for 7 years. And he is busy teaching a much simpler version of the course I learnt many years ago. It was darn right uncomfortable and once i had to just leave he room. Oh, and when you have your next revelation will you have your Holy Fire teachers in the same boat that many of us are already in. Blessings to all and Namaste. Good luck and be well. You do not need to retake all your classes to use the holy fire. Holy Fire® III Karuna Reiki® Training This class is the next step after Reiki Master and is both a practitioner and a Master class. The fourth symbol completes the treatment by bringing the client back into the body and grounding. There is no “better” Reiki..there is just Reiki. .my former Reiki Master School disqualified me from their school registry. It has also been brought to my attention that William allegedly stated that it was through his spiritual guru “Janice Jones that Holy Fire was derived via Jesus,” (good lord, I hope that this isn’t being turned into a religion) and “that anyone can get the “Ignitions” from “source,” that there need not be a facilitator to acquire them,” Reiki or otherwise. I am so grateful for the deep insights of the commenters here who have the wisdom and insight to see through the hype. Your questions make sense. I signed up to take ART Holy Fire X but i think i will just let it all go. He walked this Earth showing us what we were to do in HIs absence. At any rate, I wasn’t very comfortable with him. Just because Williams states that Karuna no longer applies you would have to be pretty gullible to think that it no longer exists, it does. You have to get the Holy Fire 2 master book. These are the questions i have with no answers as of yet. The word holy has as its root meaning to be whole & complete and this is how it is used in Holy… . I think the Reiki energy is dynamic, and will find it’s way to the highest good when strong intention is there. Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is used in Hinduism and Buddhism. The only way this will work is if the “ignition” gives the practitioner the ability to read the clients energy directly and therefore know where to place your hands and what vibrational frequency the client requires. The “divine” nature of Reiki isn’t one that must be retracted or removed from a process of spiritual and physical interaction and enlightenment. Then I took holy fire Levels one and two . Feelings of love, joy and peace are experienced along with a much deeper level of healing. And, if what William says is true about not needing a teacher to receive Holy Fire and the ignitions let those of us who wish to acquire them on our own do so without having to replenish his coffers. What about the letter he wrote to the Bishop who was upset about Reiki volunteers working in a Catholic hospital? Since you and others here have well expressed your thoughts about Holy Fire Reiki, I hope to keep what I have to say succinct and brief. He further states “So if something is whole it is seeing everything from a non-dualistic perception. Okay so I’m just curious now that many of you have been in this new system for s few years how do you feel now. I just took the Holy Fire Karuna Reiki and I did not feel any of my Usui symbols de-attuned but I was given reijus with Japanese symbols. Reiki II symbols. In level one, the first four symbols from Karuna I are taught, along with the practitioner ignition and time to practice the symbols. And I would not do that all over again! Is Reiki that? But then I cannot teach can I? How does one know whether the energy is pure? Has it worked for you? I thought i should give it a shot, despite an ill feeling i had about it being “small minded” and too American Christian. Like others I have spent so much already, and it just keeps coming. Thank you for speaking to this. They will not sell them to you. I sincerely hope those filled with hatred toward a man who is adding to the awareness of healing to this world— to reconsider why you are even in this field in the first place. .has in the past & continues now. So much hooopla. It is pure, unconditional love that transcends duality, masculine and feminine, it is the ‘source of creation’. I also took William’s Holy Fire Reiki Master Attunement. Didn’t know who I could talk to about such a thing (seriously, a very strange problem to have), so I hunted down this page… I know it’s an older thread… But anyone have any thoughts? If you take holy fire Karuna Master Teacher you are able to teach all new holy fire levels. This was a lively class & I am so grateful many asked questions and engaged in the Jesus discussion. Holy Fire is just added. Also, back in the ’90s when it was found out that I had taken the Karuna Reiki from William Rand. . Now that the process is changing, I am concerned that Usui would be upset, or that I might fail future students by not teaching them the traditional ways. Now what if I learn Karuna but the system totally vanishes and I don’t get students to teach Karuna reiki? Of course, Holy Fire® Reiki’s transformative qualities also extend to clients in the Reiki session. This is akin to “taking back” one’s “first communion” or “marriage vows” for example. It has from the start felt to me like a new way to generate huge sums of money. Most of the rest of Christianity I have little or no use for. So, if we claim that something is Holy and yet speak and work from a dualistic nature then we have misunderstood the concept of Holy.”. This really needs a lot of caliber and gut to bring this thing to light. Is there a way to go back? .it’s beginning to sound like Religion. Why change a system, if it’s already so good? This class is a deeply healing experience. In the same way that you would want to heal your own wounds, you would also want the wounds of others to heal. It helps release karma and deeply seated issues on the cellular level. Cost – $1045.00 with a $325.00 non-refundable deposit. I was a master teacher when I took this class. I want to address Usui vs. Holy Fire in a class that I am teaching tomorrow. Healing is the key to the entire mess out there. I actually liked the placements and ignitions. All the information and techniques for both levels are covered including: The class is a combination of lecture, discussion and experience. Hello Curtis, How to give yourself attunements and ignitions. I understand your concerns, and have always tended to be skeptical myself. Not only does the title now look ridiculous, but this system includes Placements instead of Attunements, along with Experiences… Apparently. I am concerned because I was drawn to get ICRT training because I valued the authenticity of their symbols. Class times are 9am to 6:30pm each day. . The Karuna II symbols are of a higher vibration and more powerful. I am a Reiki Master/Teacher of the Usui lineage, attuned in 1996. It’s almost weird. I will forever be grateful. I learned Usui Reiki first and then picked up other bits as I went along. Ever since then I cannot feel my Reiki flow that well . While practice takes place during the class, it is expected that you will set aside additional time to practice after the class is over. Several Karuna masters in the same boat as you also attended. I’m sure he got serious flack because he backed off of that rhetoric and now he’s at Holy Fire 3?!? But I am not sure I want to keep spending money on this. No I don’t. I believe that “to each his/her own” but this is more complex than yours or my personal and professional opinions. My guides have not wanted me to go that route. Lots of practice time is included for giving treatments, using the symbols and for learning the ignition processes. I also found myself scratching my head in confusion with certain aspects of Holy Fire 2. Honestly, I took Usui Tibetan Reiki Master with William Rand. What we have done is take the Usui/Tibetan system and replace the Tibetan symbols and violet breath with the Holy Fire symbol and energy. LOL. ARE THE TIBETAN SYMBOLS USED IN HOLY FIRE® REIKI? When I received my Master Teacher certification it was as Holy Fire 2 because my reiki master had just returned from training with Rand for the Holy Fire upgrade. .and although I enjoyed the energy. Symbols should be removed from training and you learn to just access it and channel it. This is what we have found to be true. It’s not for everyone they which suggests some of us aren’t good enough. 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. Is this where William sees himself now, as a prophet who can make tremendous profits by “fine tuning” his trademarked method of Karuna Reiki? I received Holy Fire, and was not quite sure what I was getting into. This is similar to having a library card. When we touch a client with intentions of healing to whatever degree, we are fulfilling our ministry on Earth as Disciples of Christ . Karuna Reiki® opens you to work more closely with all enlightened beings. The way I see it, Reiki is one of an eternal and consistent revelation from source, God, Buddha or Allah. One point I do not feel you addressed is the “De_Attuning of previous symbols, something that many of us believe can never be undone, once you have them they are with you throughout. I am an Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master Teacher and founder of Jiva Reiki School. The Healing attunement and Aura Clearing (psychic surgery) is given and received by all students. If I hear one more “energy worker” tell me that there is only one true way to practice, I think I will scream. Angus, do you realize that this blog post is over 4 years old? It is more disgraceful in this field of healing that some of you used the hateful words you have than for William to be charging money for a service. I am a registered Karuna Reiki Master. Why would I be part of Karuana Reiki, Usui Reiki, and Usui Tibetan Reiki, three different perspectives in the Reiki world. I wished that I had not spent the time and money on this and I am seriously questioning the source of this teaching. It is complete with 8 practitioner symbols, one master symbol, four master Ignitions, and special meditations that are guided directly by the Holy Fire/Holy Spirit.Those who take the class will be able to use the Karuna symbols in their Reiki sessions and teach all levels of Reiki and Karuna Reiki.
