Holy Fire Reiki is a modern variation of Reiki introduced by the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT). This form of Reiki harnesses the Holy Fire energy, representing the divine love and life force present in all. Merging traditional Usui Reiki with contemporary advancements, it offers purification, healing, empowerment, and guidance. Not tied to any religion, “holy” signifies its ability to foster wholeness. It respects free will and supports all Reiki practitioners.
Holy Fire Reiki – where did it come from?
Since 1989, William Rand embarked on a profound spiritual path with Reiki. As a Reiki Master, he has consistently elevated his expertise, now recognized as a Senior Reiki Master. He founded the Center for Reiki Research and became the president of both the Reiki Membership Association and the ICRT (International Center for Reiki Training). His credentials in Reiki are unparalleled. Not only has he practiced this method of healing since 1989, but he’s also been a beacon of knowledge, teaching Reiki classes worldwide.
His dedication to Reiki is evident in his mission to rally Reiki practitioners globally, aiming to infuse the world with peace, healing energies, and a higher level of consciousness. In a transformative moment in January 2014, during sessions with his spiritual adviser, William experienced an ignition. Over three days, he was unexpectedly introduced to the Holy Fire® energy. This energy is noticeably more refined and comes from a higher level, offering a direct connection to source. He soon began teaching this powerful and gentle method, which provides purification, to his students.
Holy Fire Reiki was introduced by William Rand, blending the traditional Usui Reiki symbols with a contemporary evolution of Reiki. This energy, known as Holy Fire®, is a spiritual energy that creates wholeness through purification. It’s a testament to the love of self and others, promoting vitality and a direct connection to the healing energies of Holy Fire. The word ‘holy’ in Holy Fire has a root meaning to be whole, emphasizing its role in making individuals whole and complete.

Why is it called ‘Holy Fire’?
Since its introduction, questions have been raised about this new branch of Reiki. Firstly, the name invokes a possible connection with Christian ideology.
The New Testament, in Acts 2, gives the account of the disciples of Jesus receiving the Holy Spirit on the Day of Pentecost;
“They saw tongues like flames of fire that separated, and one rested on each of them.”
William Lee Rand makes no excuse for this apparent link, answering this question (as well as addressing other issues) very clearly.
To those who claim that the name is ‘religious’, he points out that although Reiki is not affiliated to any religion, no religion owns the names of God, Jesus, or the Holy Spirit.
These entities existed before humans formed the idea of religion, and any objections to the use of their names by others are purely based on dogma or narrow-minded opinions.
Some Reiki practitioners, William Lee Rand included use aspects of Christianity in their teaching, without adhering to any religious ideology or dogma.
Having said this, any similarity in the term Holy Fire Reiki to the Holy Spirit is unintentional. It is used simply to describe a powerful, gentle, and purifying form of divine energy.
To those who have emerged from a bad experience connected with a Christian upbringing, preferring to avoid religious terminology, William stresses that healing the trauma is a better path than keeping hold of that resentment and negativity.
How is it received?
At present, this method is taught only by licensed ICRT Reiki Master Teachers. The training takes place over three days.
Attunements are referred to as ‘ignitions’. As mentioned above, those undergoing training will find that the symbol for violet breath, along with the Tibetan symbols received in their previous training, will be replaced with the Master Symbol for Holy Fire.
Is it just a way to make more money?
Again, William answers this criticism comprehensively on the ICRT website. He draws attention to the fact that his classes are mostly full, some with long waiting lists. From a business perspective alone, introducing a new method when the previous one has proved so successful could be counter-productive.
It certainly wouldn’t increase his income, as he was already teaching as many students as he could possibly manage.
It could be that people are cynical because of the ‘registered service marks’ that accompany each Reiki method.
But, sadly, in a world where there are those willing to plagiarize and steal ideas, this could be viewed as a necessary precaution.
Finally…
William Lee Rand himself stresses that this path is entirely optional! There is no expectation for Reiki practitioners to take this step.
However, those who have done so describe how their Reiki sessions have become vastly more effective.
They are infused with pure energy that has allowed a greater capacity to heal as well as transform their personal lives.
