“The holy fire reiki placement was beyond my wildest expectations. I walked into Marie’s workshop with zero knowledge and left ready and prepared to practice. The whole experience was relaxed and hands on and Marie establishes a very intimate and personal space for her students to feel comfortable. The placement was very powerful and delivered with such love...I’m confidently growing my own practice and feel so readily prepared to excel in the healing arts thanks to Marie’s direction. ”
What is Holy Fire® Reiki?
Holy Fire® Reiki is a new form of Reiki that was introduced by William Lee Rand in 2014 at The International Center of Reiki Training (ICRT) as an upgrade to traditional Reiki, focusing on providing powerful, gentle, and effective healing without religious connotations. It is both powerful and gentle and provides purification, healing, empowerment and guidance. Holy Fire® energy is noticeably more refined and comes from a higher level of consciousness. Holy Fire Reiki is a combination of traditional Usui Reiki and a contemporary evolution of Reiki.
Holy Fire Reiki is a modern adaptation of the ancient Japanese healing technique known as Usui Reiki, pioneered by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century.
With its roots in Usui Reiki, Holy Fire Reiki harnesses the same life force energy but takes it to a higher level of consciousness, offering its practitioners more refined and potent healing energy.
The term “holy” in Holy Fire Reiki does not refer to any religious affiliation but rather signifies “whole and complete.” This healing modality is all about wholeness, as it brings the word holy to life through:
purification
healing
empowerment
guidance
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.
Reiki (pronounced RAY-KEY) an ancient Japanese healing therapy focused on loving, guided energy. Reiki is made of two Japanese words: Rei, which means "God's wisdom, universal spirit or higher power," and Ki, which is "life force energy." Reiki is loving, guided energy.
It is a non-invasive therapy which aims to treat holistically and to restore homeostasis (whole-body balance). Our mind, body, and spirit need loving care and balance to flourish. Reiki energy has its own innate wisdom, therefore, it goes where it is needed. It is an amazing, powerful, yet subtle form of energy healing.
Reiki is practiced in every country of the world and is being used in many settings including hospitals and hospice. In fact, many major Michigan hospitals including The University of Michigan Hospital, Henry Ford Health System, Corewell Health and Beaumont Health System use Reiki as a complementary healing technique.
Distance/Remote Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki
Distance Reiki treatments are just as effective as in-person treatments, allowing you to receive healing from afar. Reiki practitioners learn and receive three symbols, one of which is the "distance symbol." When invoked and used by a Reiki practitioner, this symbol allows the practitioner to send healing Reiki energy across time and space.
This symbol can also be used in-person to help clear blockages from the past, or across large parts of the body. Similarly, it can be used to cleanse neighborhoods or geographic places. When practicing Reiki on someone who is not physically present, this symbol is used to connect their energy.
Distance Reiki works according to the Hermetic Law of Similarity, which holds that we are all connected, as we are all energy matter and part of a larger whole. Invoking this law during a distance Reiki session allows the practitioner to link up to the energy field of the recipient.

Benefits of Reiki treatments
One of the most noticeable changes you’ll see is reduced stress levels. When we are stressed, vital energy points in the body, also known as chakras, can become sluggish or blocked. When our chakras are blocked, energy cannot flow properly through our bodies. Reiki clears these blockages so our bodies can heal themselves, the way they were designed.
In order to gain the most benefit, Reiki asks the receiver to actively accept healing and let go of things that no longer serve their best and highest good. The belief is once we allow ourselves to relax and "get out of our own way" our higher self knows exactly what our soul needs to release, heal and flourish.
