Holy Fire® III Reiki Training Classes

Reiki is a gift of life force energy given to us to renew and heal ourselves and others. Reiki is taught by the attunement/placement process. The placement sensitizes you to the frequency of Reiki energy by opening your energy field, clearing blocked energy, and allowing you to become a channel for Reiki healing.

The following classes includes Usui symbols and Holy Fire Reiki energies. Reiki energy is constantly evolving and Holy Fire III is one of the most recent forms. It is both powerful and gentle. It is noticeably refined and provides purification, healing, and guidance. It carries a very high vibration, which improves your connection to universal energy and unconditional love.  

 

"I didn't know what to expect in my Reiki One class. The experience was great! I am so grateful. Something beautiful happened here." - Jessica R.
"I was attuned for Reiki One and Two and have attended Reiki shares with Gail. She is wonderful, knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommended her for others looking for Reiki sessions, shares, or Reiki attunements. She is devoted to Reiki and to helping others as well." - Jasmine M.

"My Reiki One class exceeded my expectations. It was a very open and welcoming environment. Gail is not only a very calming presence but she also infuses the environment around her with serenity and peace. I would describe this class as a tool to help you improve your health and learn techniques to help yourself and others." - Ana C.
 

Holy Fire III Reiki One - NEXT DATE TBD

Reiki Level One training is open to all. Everyone can learn Reiki. In the process of learning to be a healer, you will practice on others and receive healing as well. The number of students in each class is limited to five in order to insure plenty time to ask questions, share experiences and receive individualized instruction. You will leave this training empowered to practice Reiki on yourself and to share informally with family, friends, and pets.
  • You will receive instruction on the origin and history of Reiki, the nature of Reiki energy, the Human Energy System and chakras.
  • This class is a combination of the Western and Japanese styles.
  • You will learn the Reiki hand positions and the Japanese techniques of Gassho meditation, Byosen scanning, Reiji-ho inner guidance and Kenyoku dry bathing.
  • You will receive the Holy Fire III Reiki One placement.
  • You will receive a 179-page ICRT Reiki 1 & 2 class manual, handouts and a Reiki First Degree certificate at the end.
In this training class attunements are called placements. Placements make direct use of Holy Fire energies and thereby provide more effective healing energy, giving each student exactly what they need. The class includes individualized instruction, discussion, demonstration and practice time. You will experience giving and receiving Reiki treatments.

Seven hours of class time will give you a chance to receive and integrate this profound healing energy. This course is a prerequisite for Reiki Two and learning the healing symbols.

Holy Fire III Reiki Two - MARCH 15 
 
Reiki Level Two will enhance your connection to Reiki energy as well as your healing practice. This course empowers the Reiki Two symbols: one to amplify Reiki energy, another for mental and emotional healing, and the third to send distance healing. Upon completion of this class you will be a certified Reiki Second Degree practitioner. 

In this class you will:
  • Receive the Holy Fire Reiki Two placement.
  • Learn more about the chakra energy centers and how to clear and balance the chakras.
  • Learn how to use the three Usui Reiki level 2 symbols and have a chance to practice Enkaku chiryo (distance healing) and Gyoshi-ho (sending Reiki with the eyes).
  • Receive Reiki 2 class materials, an ICRT Reiki 1 & 2 manual (if you didn't receive one in your Level 1 class), and a Reiki Second Degree certificate.
In this training class attunements are called placements. Placements have the same effect as attunements, but are directed by the Holy Fire energy and are designed to provide more effective healing energy and empower the symbols in a more powerful way. 

This 7-hour training class is a combination of lecture, discussion, demonstration and practice. Classes are small (2-6 students). You will have individualized instruction and practice in using all the Reiki 2 symbols, so you will know from experience the effect of each symbol. You will also experience giving and receiving a complete Reiki treatment.

You must be certified in Reiki One (any form of Reiki) and had one month for practice and integration of Reiki One energy.

Holy Fire III Reiki Master - SPRING & SUMMER CLASSES TBD

This is the class for those who wish to be Reiki Master Teachers or those Reiki Masters who want to upgrade to Holy Fire III. It is also an excellent class for those who would like to raise their level of Reiki healing and spiritual development to the Master level. It includes both Reiki Master Practitioner and Master Teacher Training and contains both the Usui system and Holy Fire III energies. All placements (similar to attunements) and ignitions are explained and demonstrated so that each student becomes confident in their use. By the end of this training you will be able to initiate students into all levels of Reiki including full Reiki master. 

In this course you will:
  • Receive both the Usui and Holy Fire master symbols.
  • Have all four of the Usui symbols empowered by Holy Fire Reiki energy.
  • Receive the Usui Master placement and four Holy Fire III ignitions.

Holy Fire III Upgrade
The Holy Fire III upgrade will empower you to give placements instead of attunements, making teaching all levels of Reiki easier and providing a more effective level of Reiki for each student. (Placements and ignitions provide the same benefit as attunements, and Holy Fire experiences are similar to guided meditations.) The four ignitions install the Holy Fire energy directly into your energy system and provide an opportunity for advanced spiritual development. 

You must be certified in Reiki Two (any form of Reiki) and had six months of practicing at Level 2 to take this class. Also, you must be able to draw the three Level Two symbols from memory.

For Reiki Masters only:
Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki® Master - APR 17, 18 & 19

What is Karuna?
Karuna is a Sanskrit word. It is translated to mean "any action taken to diminish the suffering of others" and could also be translated as "compassionate action." ​Karuna is the motivating quality of the enlightened beings working to end suffering on Earth. They continually send an unlimited amount of healing energy and guidance to us, but not all are receptive to it. As you develop Karuna in yourself, not only are you helping others, but you also become more receptive to the Karuna energy being sent.

Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki 
In this Master class, you will: 

  • Learn what the Holy Fire III energy system is all about.
  • Receive the Holy Fire energy through four Ignitions.
  • Learn eight advanced Karuna Reiki symbols.
  • Become empowered to teach Holy Fire III Reiki classes (all levels) and Karuna Reiki Master classes.
  • Learn how to add chanting and toning to the Karuna Reiki symbols.
  • Deepen your spiritual development.
  • Increase the power of your Reiki healing sessions.

You will learn to give Placements for Reiki 1 & 2 and Usui Master level and give Ignitions for the Holy Fire Master and Karuna Master levels (placements and ignitions provide the same benefit as attunements). The placement-ignition system provides a more effective level of Reiki for the student and empowers the symbols with more a powerful healing energy.

You will also experience three full days of instruction, meditation, discussion, ignitions, practice and healing in the company of other Reiki Masters.

Upon completion you will receive a certificate and a  Karuna Reiki® Master manual with in-depth descriptions of all symbols, techniques and the ignition process. You will also be offered the opportunity to become a Registered Karuna Reiki® Master with The International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT). You will then be able to use ICRT manuals for teaching. 

You must have been a certified Reiki Master (in any form of in-person Reiki) for at least six months to take Karuna Reiki Master training. You must also be able to draw the three Usui level 2 symbols and Usui Master symbol from memory.

"As a Usui Reiki Master myself, I went to see Gail out of curiosity to see what Holy Fire Reiki was about. I was so impressed, I went and got my Master training in Holy Fire Reiki from her. Whether you want to take a class, book an appointment or simply go to a Reiki share to learn more, I would say do it! You will not be disappointed." - Margaret B.

"I recently took my Holy Fire Reiki Master class with Gail. She was informative and thorough and created a relaxing, energetically supportive healing space. If you are interested in enhancing your own physical, emotional, and spiritual experience and that of your Reiki clients, I would highly recommend taking the Master class with Gail. You will be better able to offer healing to yourself and others." - Karen M.
