Learning Reiki

Learning Reiki at Koru Self Development - The Waikato Reiki Centre.

Anyone can learn Reiki

Reiki is a practice that can be learned by people of all ages and backgrounds. It offers a way to develop self-awareness, practise self-Reiki and share Reiki with others.

You don’t need previous experience. Whether you are beginning your Reiki journey or continuing your training, the courses provide practical experience, guidance and opportunities for ongoing learning.

All courses are taught in the Usui/Holy Fire® III system, bringing together traditional Usui Reiki and Holy Fire® Reiki.

What is Usui/Holy Fire® Reiki?

Usui Reiki was developed in Japan by Mikao Usui. Holy Fire® Reiki, introduced by William Lee Rand of the International Centre for Reiki Training, is incorporated into the training I offer.

The word Holy in Holy Fire® is not religious. It refers to the idea of making whole and is not associated with any particular religious belief.

In Holy Fire® Reiki, the teacher guides students through experiences called placements. These are guided experiences that form part of the training and differ from traditional hands-on attunements.

My teaching emphasises self-Reiki, the Reiki principles, practical experience, professional ethics and continued learning.

If you would like to learn Reiki or discuss which course may suit you, please get in touch.

All courses are taught as the Usui/Holy Fire® III style of Reiki that is a combination of the Usui system as taught by Mrs. Takata, and a special Holy Fire® III style.

Usui Reiki Ryoho

Reiki Ryoho translates to the divine art of healing and Usui Shikki Reiki Ryoho is the Usui style of Reiki Ryoho.

What is Holy Fire® Reiki

Holy Fire ® Reiki is a new form of Reiki which has been introduced by William Lee Rand of the International Centre for Reiki Training (ICRT) USA.  It is both powerful and gentle and can assist with self healing, empowerment and guidance.  It is included as part of all my Usui Reiki classes.

This energy works alongside traditional Usui Reiki. Many people find that the Holy Fire energy is noticeably more refined and comes from a higher level of consciousness.

In Holy Fire ® Reiki, the attunements are called Placements.  

The word “Holy” in Holy Fire ® is not religious. It means “to make whole” and refers to a gentle, universal healing energy that supports balance, well-being, and personal growth.
