William Lee Rand about online reiki classes

In 1995, I met Janice Jones and began having regular sessions with her. She was a spiritual healer who worked with Sai Baba and Jesus, then once Sai Baba passed on, she began working with Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit.

On January 14, 2014, in a remote session with Janice Jones, while I was on Maui, Jesus introduced a new energy that eventually became known as Holy Fire® Reiki. In this system, Ignitions are given at the Master level. They are like attunements, except they are given by the teacher conducting a short, guided meditation and then allowing soothing music to play for the remainder of the Ignition process.

In December 2015, Holy Fire® II came through in which Placements (like Ignitions) for Reiki I & II and the first part of Reiki Master were added.

A little while after this, in a session with Colleen Benelli, I was told that because of the spiritual work I had done in past lives, I was eligible to be upgraded to a much higher level of development. And on becoming aware of this, I asked that rather than this upgrade being done for me alone, could it be done in such a way that the energies could be available to help others to upgrade as well. I was told yes, this was possible, but because it would be a more involved and detailed process,  it would take longer. To me, this opportunity was so meaningful that  without hesitation, I gladly accepted.

Then, on September 21, 2018, while teaching Reiki classes on Kurama Yama, the sacred mountain in Japan, where Usui Sensei was given the gift of Reiki, Holy Fire® III was given to us. On January 7, 2019, I offered a webinar online which upgraded students with Holy Fire® and Holy Fire® II to Holy Fire® III. This event was quite an experience for me as I had never done an Ignition online and to such a large group of people.

This development was possible only through a process in which my energy field progressively developed and upgraded over a long period. Jesus and The Brothers and Sisters of the Light (the Ascended Masters) directed the process from above. Therefore, I must say that I am deeply  grateful to be the recipient of such a wonderful process.

And while I have explained that the Reiki energy itself inspired my desire to seek ways to improve it, the worthiness of this quest is validated by research done by Hiroshi Doi Sensei, a Japanese Reiki Master and a member of the Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai. The Gakkai is the organization that Usui Sensei started just after beginning to practice and teach Reiki. And it was his purpose in starting the organization for it to promote the preservation and development of Reiki. Doi Sensei, being a Gakkai member, has access to the Gakkai archives. These archives contain valuable information, which includes the writing Usui Sensei did, but also the lessons of many of his Reiki talks and classes which were transcribed by his students. One thing Doi Sensei has uncovered is that Usui Sensei stated in his classes that one of the basic  requirements for all Reiki practitioners is to seek to improve the  quality and quantity of Reiki energy he or she can channel. The higher we raise the vibration of our being, the stronger the Reiki we have inside will be. (1) It is reassuring to me that the teaching of Usui Sensei validated the guidance I received from the Reiki energy.

Furthermore, we see that not only did Usui Sensei indicate that Reiki could and should be developed, but that Usui Sensei asked Hayashi Sensei to develop Reiki further, which he did by creating a stronger reiju process, and by teaching Reiki I & II together. Takata Sensei also developed Reiki by creating her “Foundation Treatment,” which  included seven or eight hand positions and by adding the Reiki Master symbol to the practice of Reiki. (2).

Our Current Problem and Its Solution

In 2020, the coronavirus had caused serious problems all over the world. The fact that this virus is easily transmitted to others and can cause serious illness, permanent debilitating conditions and death, has caused governments all over the world to create social distancing in which people must not gather in groups and for the most part, are required to stay at home. 

This situation has resulted in millions of people being laid off and otherwise unable to go to work. At the same time, a serious problem has been created for Reiki teachers. Since Reiki classes are taught in person with groups of  people, it means that they can no longer be taught. And given the length  of time that this forecast to last, this will create a long-term detriment for the practice of Reiki. In addition, the effect social distancing will have on the psyche will also likely create repercussions for Reiki even after the coronavirus problems are solved.

However, I realized that if a way could be found that enabled Reiki classes to be taught online, then it would provide a wonderful solution. Not only would it promote the wider use of Reiki, which could be used to keep people healthy and reduce the number of infections, but it would also provide a source of income for thousands of people that would otherwise be out of work.

During a spiritual healing session I had with Colleen Benelli on March 20, 2020, we contacted Jesus and The Brothers and Sisters of the Light. It seemed they had been aware that something like this was going to happen and had a solution already prepared. We were told that because of our continued work with Reiki, our energy fields had evolved to be able to accept a powerful new Ignition that would allow us to give Placements and Ignitions online. This ability would solve two of the serious problems of the coronavirus. One is that it would allow Reiki Practitioners to continue their Reiki healing work which helps to strengthen the immune system, helping people avoid getting sick or recovering faster and with less illness if they do get sick and it also would allow Reiki Teachers to continue to teach Reiki classes without needing to have physical contact with others.

This was an amazing development that  provided a meaningful solution for all Reiki people. Our Reiki community prayed and meditated on this issue and the divine realms answered.

I believe it is important to trust in the guidance of the Reiki energy and follow the guidance one gets. Therefore, if a person is considering if this is a class that would benefit them, I suggest that they meditate on it and ask for guidance from the Reiki energy. Then follow the guidance they received.
