FAQs

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese form of alternative medicine called energy healing. “Reiki” is a Japanese word that translates into ‘Rei’ – Universal Life Force and ‘Ki’ – Energy. Together they mean ‘Universal Life Force Energy.’

Reiki is a subtle and effect form of energy work that uses guided life force energy. It is an alternative health approach that allows energy flow to calm your mind and heal and restore your body, for optimum health and wellbeing.

What is Energy?

If you practice Yoga, Chi Gong, Meditation or have had therapies such as Acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine or Ayurvedic medicine you will have heard of the tears ‘chi’, ‘ki’ ‘prana’ and ‘life force’. Each culture has a different way of describing energy and how to rebalance and realign energy in the body.

Everything is energy. Energy is matter, our thoughts and our feelings. Your spiritual and emotional wellbeing is the essence of who you are and we need energy to support our physical wellness and all the functions, structures, muscles, organs and cells of our body. If our energy isn’t aligned our whole being is affected and we can get stuck in life, not being able to move forward.

You can sense energy, it’s a feeling and it’s always present. It’s the water in the ocean, the clouds in the sky, the trees and the animals. You can sense energy when you are taking a walk along the beach and feel the energy and warmth from the sun on your face. When you are in a forest surrounded by nature. When you are dealing with an uncomfortable situation or you walk into a room of people who are arguing. This is all energy, we are one.

If we come under some form of stress we fall out of alignment and find it challenging to get back on track. Energy healing is re-tuning your body, mind and emotions. It’s like reviving the engine and providing your car with a full service experience putting it back into peak condition.

What Happens In A Reiki Session?

During a Reiki session, the practitioner either places their hands direction on you or above you to bring about healing.  Reiki can also be practiced from a distance and can be offered online.  This is just as beneficial carried out with intention, as reiki’s sole function is to heal. Whether the session is face to face or online, you may experience, seeing colors and hot or cold temperature changes in different parts of your body. You might also feel pins or needles or twitches in the body.  You will certainly feel relaxed, and might even drop off to sleep, which usually happens.

Each session will start with a 5-10 minute consultation to make sure I am personalizing your treatment, depending on your needs, a Chakra analysis,  aura cleanse, energetic block removal, and post consultation. A session will be 60 minutes total time. Reiki is a very gentle, natural therapy and has no side effects at all. 

What To Expect After A Reiki Treatment

Drink plenty of water after your session.  Clients can experience feelings of being lighter, deeply relaxed yet energized.  Some feel clam, peaceful and you may also feel tired.

Are There Risks Or Side Effects?

Reiki is a non-invasive treatment and has no side effects.

What’s The Difference Between Reiki And Holy Fire Reiki

Reiki: It is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.  It was discovered by Mikao Usui (1865-1926) in March 1922.  Many consider that Mikao Usui (Usui Sensei) was the creator of Reiki. In February 1922, Usui Sensei went to Kurama yama mountain near Kyoto (Japan) in order to achieve An-shin Ritsu-mei; this is a special state of consciousness that once achieved would not only provide an understanding of one’s life purpose, but would also guide one to achieve it. In March 1922 at midnight of the twenty-first day, he stood up and a powerful light suddenly entered his mind through the top of his head and he felt if he had been struck by lightning; this caused him to fall unconscious.  Soon he realized that in addition to the illuminating experience he had undergone, he had also received the gift of healing.  He also understood that his purpose in life was to be a healer and to train others. 

In April 1922 he moved to Tokyo and started a healing society that he named Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai (Usuai Reiki Healing Method Society).  He then developed his system of healing which he called Shin-Shin Zai-Ken Usai Reiki Ryo-Ho or Usui Ryoho (Usui Reiki Healing Method). Over time he developed three Reiki symbols, that student currently receive in Reiki II; he did not have a Master System, which was later developed by Hawayo Takata Sensei.

Holy Fire Reiki: William Lee Rand has received his masters training from five Reiki Master teachers.  He has been teaching Reiki full time since 1989 and he is the author of numerous books such as Reiki for the New Millennium and Reiki The Healing Touch.  He is the founder and president of the international Center for Reiki Training and the Reiki Membership Association, found of the Center for Reiki Research and is published in the Reiki New Magazine. In 1989 he developed the Usui/Tibetan style of Reiki; in 1994-95 he developed Karuna Reiki, and in 2014 he introduced Holy Fire Reiki, which was upgraded to Holy Fire II in November 2014 and Holy Fire III in September 2018.  In April 2020, in response to the Coronavirus global crisis, William Lee Rand received an upgrade that now allows Reiki Masters from all over the world to reach Holy Fire Reiki Online.

Holy Fire Reiki is a type of Reiki energy and system based on Holy Fire energy.  It is included as part of Usui/Holy Fire Reiki.  It has also been added to Karuna Reiki Training, now called Holy Fire Kurana Reiki. The use of the world Holy in the name Holy Fire is not intended to have a religious meaning.  The word holy has as its root meaning to be holy and complete.  Therefore, Holy Fire Reiki is a spiritual energy that creates wholeness through purification, healing, empowerment and guidance. 

The entire Holy Fire Reiki system is not something that 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 channeled illuminated beings. The Usui/Holy Fire Reiki System retained all the Usui symbols and Master symbols.  The new Holy Fire Master system was introduced.

What are the Akashic Records?

The term Akashic has its roots in the Sanskrit word “Akasha” meaning “ether”, “sky” or “atmosphere”. So, it goes without saying that the Akashic Records are thought to exist in the ether – in the non-physical plan of existence.

The Akashic Records are like a cosmic database where all information from the past, present and future is stored and protected by Light Beings.
The Akashic Records are a collection of pictorial records of all actions, events, thoughts, and feelings that have occurred since the beginning of time. They contain everything that every soul has ever thought, said, and done over the course of its existence.

The idea of the Akashic Records has been present in spiritual philosophies like Hinduism, Buddhism, and theosophy for centuries.
Travelling into the Akashic Earth Records is not fortune telling, it is your own personal journey to retrieve actual information from your soul records to accurately target the real causes & solutions for current ‘problems.’

The ultimate goal of accessing this profound source of wisdom is to release your soul’s highest potential. This information garnered is specific to the question asked by you and can range from everyday answers to practical questions….to resolving deep karmic ties and lifetime patterns (current and past).

Know that what your Masters, Teachers and Loved Ones decide to tell you about yourself is exactly what you need to know to resolve the current crisis and better understand your personal soul journey. Clarity, peace and joy are common states after a visit to the Akashic Field. People’s lives are genuinely changed for the better and they often report back that they feel they are functioning at a higher level in their daily lives.
