Akashic Reiki
Stress reduction, healing trauma, and balancing the mind, body, and spirit.
If you are on this page, you have likely found me through the magic of synchronicity as the universe sets down the breadcrumbs and you instinctively have followed them to this page.
What is Reiki?
The word Reiki means “universal life force” known as “prana” in Sanskrit. Reiki is known today as an integrative therapy brought here from Japan that is used for stress reduction, healing trauma, and balancing the mind, body, and spirit.
Rei: generally means a combination of the following: higher mind - universal (higher levels of consciousness) beyond the ego, lower mind - the earth (elements), and the middle path (the human aspects of being that are a combination of body, mind, and spirit).
This supports the person offering Reiki as being a bridge between the wisdom and guidance of the unseen and the living breathing aspects of the physical world.
Ki: is what is referred to as "life force" or Chi in Chinese, or vital energy in Vedic texts. Ki is also the primary energy of emotions and thoughts. Ki is the energy that healing arts practitioners are taping into in their work with clients.
Reiki: has an intelligence of its own that works with the intelligence or organicity of the body and the client who is receiving it. It is not "directed" by a practitioner other than to "open the space" and trust the intelligence of the system to know how to shift in the right conditions.
The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) offers research on Reiki.
History
Current Reiki practice can be traced to the spiritual teachings of Mikao Usui in Japan during the early 20th century. Usui's teachings included meditative techniques and hands on practices. One of Usui's students, Chujiro Hayashi, further developed the hands-on practices, placing less emphasis on the meditative techniques. An American named Hawayo Takata learned Reiki from Hayashi in Japan and introduced it to Western cultures in the late 1930s. The type of Reiki practiced and taught by Hayashi and Takata may be considered traditional Reiki. Numerous variations of Reiki have since been developed and are currently practiced. Each person who comes to Reiki training will be drawn to a particular Reiki path and no one type of Reiki energy is better than another.
A more detailed history of Reiki can be found in Miles and True’s (2003) article, “Reiki- Review of a Biofield Therapy History, Theory, Practice and Research.” In Alternative Therapies Vol. 9, #2.,pp. 63 & 64.
The Evolution of the Reiki Energy
What is Holy Fire III® Reiki?
Holy Fire III® Reiki is a refined type of Reiki energy that was integrated into the Western Reiki community by William Rand in 2015.
Holy Fire III® Reiki went through a series of revisions and upgrades in 2018 through William Rand and Colleen Benelli who also was trained in Shamanism. This version is now taught using a series of simple ignitions and placements to activate or tune a student to this vibrational frequency.
A key aspect of the Holy Fire III® Reiki is that it supports the realization of the Authentic Self or Source consciousness. This involves a shedding of the egoic mind in service of the greater whole through the embodiment of the life force through the physical body and our emotional experiences. This involves healing our core trauma in the body and deconditioning the mind from the culturally conditioned self in favor of a more coherent and attuned experience of being that is aligned with our harmonic resonance.

Current Courses
Level I: Akashic Reiki Foundation Course
This unique version of the Akashic Reiki training offers participants the opportunity to take the course as both a live in-person experience over Zoom with additional support through a self-paced online class.
This course is taught in combination: online course content opens two weeks before the first class meeting.
Akashic Reiki I & II Practitioner Course Includes:
Learning Environment: Hybrid Course Format
I feel that when we learn something new it is helpful to stay engaged with the content and embodied explorations and have support in its application over time rather than just over a weekend workshop. I have created this course to support different learning styles, including written material, videos, and podcasts. You will engage with the course through a self-paced online class in addition to the traditional Reiki manual. I will offer verbal live instruction in our online class with room for Q&A. In the live Zoom class, you will receive you attunements as well as additional healing experiences to support your integration of the content.
Preparation for Optimal Learning:
Students are also required to set time aside for partner practice sessions over Zoom in between our meetings one time per week.
I have spread the meeting time out over several sessions to allow time for integration, ingestion of the material, and questions to emerge.
