Holy Fire® Reiki Overview
Holy Fire Reiki is a type of Reiki energy and a system of Reiki healing based on Holy Fire energy. As mentioned in the Bible, Holy Fire® energy has been active in the world since ancient times. Based on sessions with the late Janice Jones, a spiritual adviser, our understanding is that God, working through the Holy Spirit created Holy Fire® energy and Jesus is the one who first brought this healing energy to the Earth. While the words Jesus, God and Holy Spirit, are  used in religion, in the practice of Holy Fire® Reiki we do not consider  them to be religious, but instead, consider them to be spiritual in  nature.

It is important to keep in mind that the  entire Holy Fire® Reiki system is not something I designed or created,  but something that came to me as part of healing sessions I had with two  talented spiritual healers who channeled illumined beings.

While Jesus was the spiritual master who  introduced Holy Fire® Reiki, he is also part of a group called the  Brothers and Sisters of the Light. This group is a combined force of all  illumined beings and includes those beings from which all the world’s  religions and spiritual paths have originated. Previously they were in  the formless world but came into the world of form so they could assist  us in the development, teaching and use of Holy Fire® Reiki.

Its expression as a Reiki healing system  moves Holy Fire® energy from being an experience that has happened  occasionally throughout the past to those fortunate enough to experience  it, to being an energy that can be utilized on a regular basis by  anyone initiated as a Holy Fire® Reiki Master. This training takes place  in the Usui/Holy Fire® ART/Master and Holy Fire® Karuna Reiki® Master  courses. The energy is also present in the Usui/Holy Fire® versions of  Reiki I and II.

I first experienced Holy Fire® Reiki energy on January 23, 2014, when Janice channelled the energy from Jesus.  I presented it to my Reiki Master class a few days later, and the students indicated that they experienced it to be stronger healing energy and guided by a higher level of consciousness than which any of them had previously experienced.

Our Licensed Reiki Master Teachers received the ability to use this energy during attunements with  myself and also directly in sessions with Janice Jones. They also agreed  that there was a perceptible improvement in the quality and strength of  their Reiki energy. Each began using this energy in sessions and  teaching it to students. At this time, the energy was part of the  attunement process for the Master level only. Subsequently, the word attunement was changed to Ignition as it appeared that the flame of the Holy Fire® energy was ignited within the student during the attunement.

In December 2015, through instruction by  Jesus received through Janice, the system acquired the ability to use  this energy during Reiki I and II attunements. Because each student  appeared to have the energy placed within them, the term for this  process changed from attunement to Placement. At this  point, it was noted that the overall effectiveness of the Holy Fire®  energy had increased for all levels of instruction; because of this, we  began calling the system Holy Fire® II.

Holy Fire® III
During  spiritual healing sessions with Colleen Benelli, who is one of our  LRMTs and has extensive training in shamanism and who also received  training from Janice, I began receiving information that something new  was coming to my Reiki practice, although what it was wasn't exactly  explained. In addition, when contemplating the Reiki classes I was going  to conduct at Mount Kurama in Japan, which is the sacred mountain where  Usui Sensei had a spiritual experience and was given the gift of Reiki,  I was shown that something very important would take place there.

Then on September 21, 2018, while conducting those  classes, a new level of Holy Fire® energy appeared. Colleen provided  guidance from Jesus that I was to teach these classes differently.  Rather than provide a pre-Ignition as is done in the Holy Fire® II  classes, I was to change it to a regular Ignition for a total of four  Ignitions rather than three as was previously done.

The Ignition is conducted by the teacher who provides a  short, guided meditation lasting five to seven minutes or so and then  stops talking while gentle music plays in the background. This process  allows the Ignition energy to interact directly with the student’s  energy field rather than being channeled through the teacher. The whole  experience continues for about 26 minutes altogether.

After conducting the guided meditation for the first  Ignition and sitting there, allowing the process to proceed for the  students without my interaction, I began to inwardly observe a tube of  translucent white light through which stars were moving up through it.  Then I saw that this tube was coming from a ball of translucent white  light within myself. I also saw an arc of light coming from the surface  of the ball of light, and I felt the spiritual power the ball of light  contained. Then I was invited to enter into the ball of light. When I  did this, at first, I felt pain. But the light said to let go, as this  is just your Culturally Created Self being released. When I let go, the  pain disappeared, and I felt peace and a great depth of spiritual power.  At that point, I said to myself, “I am Free, I am Free, Forevermore, I  am Free.”

I must say that this was one of the most powerful  spiritual experiences I have had. In addition, when this was happening, I  also observed that the three Holy Fire® flames which were installed  below the navel, above the head and in the heart during my first Holy  Fire® training were joined together by a shaft of light. Then  eventually, they expanded and filled my entire physical body. The  effects of this experience lasted for a week or so during which I  traveled to Taiwan and taught an Usui/Holy Fire® III ART/Master class.  Then slowly the energy seemed to subside. But then at the end of  October, while teaching, it ramped up again then subsided. However,  these experiences left a residual effect, and I can tell they are  conditioning my system to adjust to a higher spiritual energy which will  remain steadily present. I was also told that these “peak” experiences  will continue.

Up to this point, which is the first week of November,  2018, I have taught eight Holy Fire® III classes. In addition, some of  my students have taught, and also our LRMTs who were upgraded to Holy  Fire® III have also taught classes. Altogether there have been about 200  students who have received the Holy Fire® III energy so far. Many of  these students have been Reiki Masters for years and have extensive  experience taking Reiki classes, teaching and giving sessions. The  effects of the energy reported by these students and those of the other  teachers have been consistent. All indicate that the Reiki energy is  more effective. Those who had Holy Fire® II report that Holy Fire® III  is a definite improvement over what they previously had. Many report  that the energy feels both subtle and more powerful and that new healing  is taking place, often on an extraordinary level.

As we have experienced Holy Fire® III, a new set of  concepts have been given to us to explain the energy and the levels of  healing that are taking place. The following is a description of the  main ideas.

The Authentic Self
Within  each person resides a compelling and extraordinary aspect of our inner  nature that is composed of the pure, unaltered self. This part is  connected directly to God-consciousness and possesses the awareness and  power of the Universe. It is unlimited in its ability to know and to do,  and it is who we really are. (Note that psychology also uses the term,  “Authentic Self” and while there is some similarity, our definition has  important differences.)

The energy of the Holy Fire® III Reiki class ignites  and reveals the light of the Authentic Self, making it easier for a  person to see and experience. Students find that their light, their  wholeness and brilliance, is right there inside them. To some, the view  of their Authentic Self has appeared as a beautiful light within; as  brilliant as the sun. The remarkable qualities of their soul, life  purpose, and their inner truth become revealed to them, and in addition,  they feel they are now empowered to fulfill their life purpose! 

The influx of Holy Fire® III energy is a special  experience that feels safe, steady and grounded. Rather than being aware  of one’s Authentic Self in an altered state or as something happening  in a high and distant place, it is experienced as being present within  one’s physical body and as part of one’s everyday life.

One’s personality, ego, emotions, and thoughts rise to  a higher level of consciousness so that one can view life with  heightened awareness and enjoyment. Innovation, intuition,  inventiveness, creativity, and solutions are more readily available and  expressed in one’s intentions, goals, decisions and actions.

After the process makes the Authentic Self visible to  one’s inner awareness, the process continues to develop and further  highlight its attributes. These include qualities such as intellect,  talents, identity, authority and voice, as well as spirituality,  personality and more. 

Unfortunately, most people have little connection to their Authentic Selves. One of the reasons for this is the development of,  and identification with, the Culturally-Created Self.

The Culturally-Created Self
When  a person is born, he or she is dependent on his or her parents for  food, shelter, clothing and physical contact; everything necessary to  support the life of the child. This dependence creates a strong  relationship between the child and its parents and forms the basis for  the development of the child’s identity. The influence of the parents  also teaches the child what is important in life and what is not.

While the young child usually has some awareness of  the Authentic Self, the parents often discourage its expression because  they do not have contact with nor understand their own Authentic Selves.  And because of the influence of the parents and exposure to the  everyday world around it, the child is encouraged to develop a  personality based on cultural conditioning. And so, as the child grows and matures, he or she comes to identify more and more completely with the Culturally-Created Self. And as this happens, awareness of the  Authentic Self fades until in many people, there is little or no  awareness of it at all. The Culturally-Created Self has a limited view  of who it is and what it can accomplish, and by comparison to the  Authentic Self, possesses greatly diminished awareness.

Origin of Dormant Unhealed Energy
As  a child grows into adulthood, it often becomes apparent to him or her  that they exhibit behaviors that are not considered acceptable by  adults. These behaviors can include angry shouting and screaming,  crying, pouting, fearful shaking and so forth. Insecurity, anger,  jealousy, impatience, selfishness, fear, sadness or other similar  feelings are often a cause of these behaviors. If parents do not show  the child how to handle these feelings in a healthy way and instead, as  is often the case, tell the child, “Stop that!” or “Don’t act that way!”  over time, the child learns to push these feelings inside and hold them  in place, and they are unexpressed.

Also, many times when children suppress their feelings, they are rewarded by the parents telling them, “Good girl!” or  “Good boy!” or they hear their parents tell other adults to look at what a good boy or good girl he or she is or other similar words. These  actions reinforce the child’s behavior of hiding feelings and encourage  the child to deny that they have such feelings at all. Eventually, as  this process develops, these “unwanted” feelings begin to be held inside  automatically by conditioning that takes place in the subconscious mind  and because of this, they are never expressed.

This pattern of behavior can develop to the point  where the person does not know they have these feelings. Because these  feelings are unknown, the person no longer gives them energy and  instead, directs their awareness toward what society considers to be  positive qualities and develops the expression of those feelings  instead. When unhealthy feelings do not receive energy or attention,  over time, they become dormant.

In addition, the unhealed dormant parts reduce a  person’s ability to experience feelings and emotions and reduce the  ability to respond in an effective way to the challenges of life. A  person becomes less flexible and is not as creative in their ability to  solve problems, in being productive, or in finding enjoyment in life. In  other words, the unhealed dormant parts limit the persons ability to  enjoy the full range of healthy, positive feelings that they would  otherwise experience.

Because a person isn’t aware of the unhealed dormant  parts, they are not motivated to heal them. In addition, these parts are  unusually difficult to heal and up to this point, regular Reiki energy  or other healing methods have difficulty discovering them, therefore,  they are rarely healed.

These unhealed dormant parts build up in layers that cover up the Authentic Self and often create a thick hard shell that prevents the Authentic Self from being known to the person or expressing its amazing potential. Experiences from this lifetime as well as past  lives, ancestral history and cellular memory, to name a few, can cause  the buildup of unhealed dormant layers that block our Authentic Self  from being seen and therefore stop it from contributing to the quality  of our lives. The unhealed dormant parts present a great challenge to our healing process. However, there is a solution.

Holy Fire® III Heals Dormant Unhealed Parts
Holy Fire® III Reiki originates from higher dimensions of consciousness that we call heavens. In the fourth and fifth heavens, the levels of consciousness there are aware of the dormant parts and can heal them, and as healing happens, more of the Authentic Self can emerge. As this occurs, an increasing level of serenity, vitality and joy expresses itself, accompanied by an awareness that this is who you really are.

Joining People Together
Holy  Fire® III contains the fire of unity. Its purpose is to unify all people. As one becomes ever more aware of the Authentic Self and begins  to assume it as one’s identity, it becomes apparent that everyone has an  Authentic Self within them and because of this, it is easily seen that  we are all one. The awareness that we are all one makes it easy to accept others regardless of the diversity of race, religion or beliefs,  national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or age. In this way, we can  more easily work in harmony with all people to create peace and  happiness in the world.

Interestingly, the promotion of this process is the purpose of the World Peace Crystal Grids which were placed at the North  Pole in 1997, at the South Pole in 1999 and in the Old City of Jerusalem in 2004. There is also one at the ICRT Center in Michigan and one at  the ICRT Center on Maui; they have been described in greater detail in  previous issues of the Reiki News and on our web site at reiki.org. The  inscription on the Peace Grids reads, “May the followers of all  religions and spiritual paths work together to create peace among all  people on Earth.” It is felt that this proclamation which is also  embedded in the energy of Holy Fire® III has already started to  influence the people of our planet and is destined to bring the peace to  our world which so many have prayed for and worked to create for  thousands of years.

Location of Holy Fire® III Energy
In  the Holy Fire® and Holy Fire® II Master classes, the energy consists of  three spiritual flames; one below the navel, one above the head and one  in the heart. In the Holy Fire® III Master class, if one already has  Holy Fire®, a shaft of light first joins the three flames together and  then the energy spreads throughout the entire body sometimes appearing  as thousands of small flames. This action takes place gradually over a  period of weeks or a month or more. If one has not previously taken a  Holy Fire® Reiki Master class and takes the Holy Fire® III Master class,  the energy will simply spread as small flames throughout the entire  body. As this happens, it grounds the experience in present time and in  the material world, making the experience feel very real.

The healed ego is a vehicle for the expression of higher consciousness in the material world!

Four Ignitions
Previously  in the Holy Fire® system, students received three ignitions. In the  Holy Fire® III class, an Ignition now replaces the pre-Ignition for a  total of four Ignitions. Also, there is an enhancement in the  effectiveness of each Ignition.
