What is Holy Fire®Reiki?
Holy Fire Reiki is a spiritual energy that creates wholeness through purification, healing, empowerment, and guidance. Holy Fire Reiki is a branch off of Traditional Reiki and is a Japanese healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch to activate the natural healing process of the patients body and restore physical and emotional well-being. Reiki promotes healing and stress reduction. It is administered by laying hands on and is based on the idea that an unseen life force flows through is and is what causes us to be alive. If ones life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The word "Reiki" is made out of two Japanese words, "Rei", which means "God Wisdom or the "Higher Power" and "Ki", which is "Life force energy". So Reiki is actually "Spiritually guided life force energy". Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion and there is nothing one must believe in order to learn, use, or experience it.
What makes Holy Fire®Reiki different from Traditional
Usui Reiki?
Holy Fire Reiki is an "upgraded version" of Usui Reiki. Channeled by William Rand in 2014, it is believed to be a more refined Reiki energy because it comes from a higher level of consciousness so it has a higher vibration than the traditional Usui branch of Reiki since it comes straight from Source Energy (God, Creator, Higher Power, etc.) as opposed to coming from the practitioner themselves.
Holy Fire is very peaceful and highly effective. It purifies and releases disharmonious energies. It produces greater feelings of peace, love, and gratitude and has greater healing potential and greater purification potential by healing the source of our pains and traumas. So it has a very deep healing potential as well.

What can it help?
There is no limit to the possibilities offered by Holy Fire Reiki. People often experience feelings of deep peace and healing. It is a simple and safe method that has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It works in conjunction with all other medical modalities or therapeutic techniques, including traditional therapies to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
What is a session like?
A session involves the client either laying on a massage table, or sitting on a chair fully clothed. A typical session last 45-60 minutes. The Reiki Practitioner places their hands either lightly on the body or above the body, (touch is up to the client). Locations of touch are the head, shoulders, neck, abdomen, hips, legs, and feet. The client may feel sensations of heat or cold, tingling, or waves of energy. The client can relax or feel free to talk during the session.
The client may feel very relaxed and could even fall asleep. The client may feel peaceful or emotional as old patterns surface. Reiki treats the whole person including the body, emotions, mind, and spirit, creating beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security, and well-being. Many have reported miraculous results.
What is Sound Healing?
Sound healing is an ancient practice where the practitioner uses vibrations (sound waves) from instruments and vocal sounds and tones via their voice to affect the physical, emotional, and spiritual body to induce relaxation and overall well-being.
Vocal sounds are used to re-harmonize matter in the body and energy field and instruments that produce certain frequencies are used to promote a balance between the left and right brain which then bring the nervous system and bodily systems into complete balance which creates the perfect conditions for health and healing.
How does a session work?
Every Sound Healer has their different preferences on what instruments they like to work with, how and if they intertwine their voice, and how they go about their sessions in general.
Sessions with Selenia involve using her voice for things such as toning, and over-toning, and using a variety of instruments such as 7 Chakra Crystal Singing Bowls, Lemurian Tuning Forks, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Tinghshas, a Pala Shaker, a Rattle, Koshi Wind Chimes, and a Buffalo Frame Drum.
Clients only need to lay on a massage table fully clothed and relax. The session will begin with a grounding exercise and then the Sound Healing will begin. Using over-toning is usually how the session starts but everything following will be completely intuitively guided, therefore, every session could be completely different from the last or from person to person.
Sessions typically last an hour but an hour and a half is needed so there is time to talk before and after.
What does it feel like & what are the benefits?
Everyone can respond differently to a sound healing treatment. Different things that one may experience are heat, coldness, vibrating, feelings of lightness, and sensations of floating. Clients can have emotional releases, they may see colors or images, they may go into deep meditation, and even fall asleep (which is very common).
The benefits are boundless but some examples are stress reduction, relief from depression and anxiety, relief from chronic pain, better sleep, activate & stimulate memory centers, create more connections in the brain, calm the nervous system, and strengthening the immune system.
