I’m Vickie, and this is where I share stories and real-life wisdom from my Reiki and healing journey. Think of it as a space to find support, inspiration, and reminders that you already carry the wisdom and energy you need—come explore with me.
You Don’t Have to Be “Healed” to Help Others Heal
Many think they must be perfectly healed to practice Reiki. The truth is, being human and helping others go hand in hand—healing is ongoing for everyone.
Why I Teach Reiki the Way I Do
There’s a lot of talk about Usui Reiki, Holy Fire Reiki, and lineage. After more than twenty years of teaching, I’ve learned that what matters most isn’t a perfect lineage chart. It’s depth, practice, and how Reiki changes you. Here’s why I teach the way I do.
How to Practice the Reiki Precepts in Daily Life
Explore the Reiki precepts as a daily spiritual practice. Learn how sitting in silence with each precept deepens awareness and personal growth.
Why Feeling Drained After Reiki Isn’t a Sign You’re Doing It Right (And What’s Really Happening)
Tired after giving Reiki? You might think you’re giving your energy away, but that’s not how Reiki works. Find out why exhaustion isn’t the sign of a “good session” and what’s really happening when energy flows through you.
Reiki as a Daily Spiritual Practice
My teaching is rooted in Mikao Usui’s original spiritual practice, where Reiki is a path of daily awareness, presence, and personal growth. Holy Fire Reiki supports this journey with gentle, high-frequency energy, helping integration feel steady and grounded. Private classes are personalized, so while we focus on your spiritual development, we can also cover practical topics like offering distance Reiki or setting up a practice, whatever you need to support your path.
Reconnecting to Reiki Without Another Attunement
There are seasons in every Reiki journey when the energy feels strong and alive, and other times when it feels like it’s barely there. You might even wonder if you’ve lost it. You haven’t. Once you’re attuned to Reiki, that connection never leaves. It’s part of you. What fades is our awareness of the flow, not the energy itself. The moment you place your hands on your heart and say, “Reiki, I’m here,” the current begins to stir again. Reiki doesn’t forget you, it simply waits for you to remember.
Tips to Help Clients Be More Open to Receiving During a Session
As a Reiki practitioner, you can help create an environment where they feel safe, relaxed, and ready to receive energy. Here are some tips and tricks I’ve found really effective.
Continuing Your Reiki Journey Without the Pressure to Teach
Do you really need to become a Reiki Master?
What If You Doubt Your Attunements?
Ever wonder if your Reiki attunement really “took”? Once you’ve been attuned, the energy is always with you. Feeling disconnected usually means you’re out of practice, not that Reiki left you. Even a few minutes of self-Reiki can wake your energy back up and remind you that the connection is always there. Trust yourself. Trust the energy.
Reconnecting with Reiki (It’s Still Here, Waiting for You)
You don’t need a new Reiki attunement. You need reconnection. Here’s where I’d start.
What to Expect After Time Away From Your Personal Reiki Practice
If you’ve been attuned to Reiki but haven’t practiced in a while, stepping back in can feel a little…strange. Maybe your hands don’t tingle the way they used to. Maybe your mind worries that you “lost your connection.” Or maybe you’re just curious what it will feel like this time around.
