The most common experience is an almost immediate release of stress and a feeling of deep relaxation and tranquility. 

Holy Fire® III Reiki is an evolutionary form of Usui Reiki which was introduced by William Lee Rand of the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) for the first time in January 2014. This reiki was an expansion on the teachings of Sensei Usui and Sensei Takata, it is both powerful and gentle, noticeably more refined and comes from a higher level of consciousness.

It also changed the attunement process as it removed the teachers energy from mixing with the students energy by what is called an "ignition" which is the opening of the energy channel in the student. This allows the energy to be more pure and it has no chance of "ego" attachments from the teacher.

As Covid hit the globe strongly which caused the shut down and in ability for Reiki practitioners to see clients and did not allow anyone to teach in person, the need for a solution had to emerge. In March 2020 during the Spring Solstice, Mr. Rand during a session with another Reiki Master, Colleen Beneilli ,received a unique "ignition" and he channeled a higher level of Holy Fire Reiki. This new Holy Fire Reiki would be able to allow the energy to be taught via internet with no interference or diminishment of the energy in any way, and is actually a more powerful and effective healing energy.

Simply stated by Master/ Teacher Reiki practitioner Raven Keyes, who wrote the book “ Medical Reiki” and who has been a leader in connecting Reiki or Energy Medicine with Modern Medicine, “Medical Reiki” delivers healing energy called Reiki by a Master who is trained and attuned to the highest level of Reiki practice”. The Master then receives additional training to apply treatments that are safe and unobtrusive to patients in medical settings such as operating rooms, chemotherapy suites, birthing rooms, pre and post surgical sessions as well as the post-surgery recovery period.

This training follows very strict guidelines enabling the Master to work seamlessly and in tandem as they partner with Physicians and Surgeons. This results in improved outcomes for the patients in their care.

Medical Reiki is beneficial for clients dealing with the challenge of an upcoming or recovery from surgery, dealing with the challenges of Cancer treatments, pregnancy, delivery or post-partum issues.

nergy Medicine has been implemented for surgical patients by renowned surgeons Mehmet Oz and Dr. Sheldon Feldman. They confer the benefits of Reiki practice assisting their patients prior to surgery, during surgery and post surgery. Dr. Feldman is the first Doctor/ Surgeon to speak at the National Reiki Conference and is a strong advocate of Reiki healing partnering with modern medicine. He has endorsed Master Medical Reiki practitioner Raven Keyes to work along side him in the operating room for over 15 years.

The overall benefits recognized throughout major health centers by Surgeons and other Physicians are as follows:

• Minimizes pain
• Stimulates the immune system
• Detoxifies the body
• Supports a peaceful, deep state of relaxation
• Dissolves energy blockages & tension
• Supports the well being of a person receiving traditional medical treatments that maybe debilitating (e.g. chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and kidney dialysis)

At the Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Integrative Medicine, Reiki has been utilized for the treatment of Cancer, Chronic pain, infertility, digestive problems, Parkinson disease and stress related diseases and psychological illness.

The Brigham and Woman’s Hospital in Boston states in their research data along with data of others "Reiki promotes relaxation, relieves stress and anxiety, reduces pain, fatigue and improves the overall quality of life.”

The bottom line is Reiki/ Energy Medicine, dives deeper and extends further than we can really comprehend. Once the session begins, the activation of the parasympathetic nervous system sends hormones of “rest and restore” also known as “ rest and digest” sweeping through the body.

There is a deeper essence to this healing modality that truly is experienced in a different way.

However, the end result is always one of peacefulness and a depth of healing that words can not truly describe as each person experiences it how the energy works with them.
