Reiki FAQ | Usui Reiki vs. Holy Fire® Reiki
What is Usui Ryoho Reiki?
Usui Reiki, also known as Usui Ryoho Reiki, is the original form of Reiki founded in Japan by Mikao Usui in the early 1900s.
This traditional Reiki method focuses on channeling universal life force energy through the practitioner’s hands to help restore energetic balance within the body.
During a session, the practitioner gently places their hands on or slightly above the body, allowing the Reiki energy to flow.
Many clients experience:
Deep relaxation
Emotional release
Reduced stress
Improved energetic balance
A sense of calm and grounding
What is Holy Fire® Reiki?
Holy Fire® Reiki is a newer evolution of Reiki energy that was introduced by William Lee Randthrough the International Center for Reiki Training.
This energy is known for its gentle yet powerful nature and is described as working deeply with emotional healing, spiritual alignment, and inner peace.
Holy Fire Reiki is believed to work continuously during and after sessions, supporting the body and mind in releasing old patterns, stress, and energetic blockages.
It is often described as creating a sense of being nurtured, loved, and safe, and it acts to guide individuals toward their highest potential.
Clients often report experiences such as:
Deep inner peace
Emotional healing
Feeling supported and protected
A strong sense of spiritual connection
A calm, uplifting energy
What Is the Difference Between Usui Reiki and Holy Fire® Reiki?
Both Reiki systems channel universal healing energy and share the same goal: helping restore balance to the mind, body, and spirit.
The main difference is the source of the energy. With traditional Usui Ryoho Reiki, the energy is channeled from the practitioner’s hands to the client. With Holy Fire Reiki, the energy is received directly from Source or a higher consciousness.
