What Is Violet Flame Reiki? There are many different types of Reiki, each with their own energetics and healing capacity. Violet Flame Reiki is sometimes said to be a soothing, feminine form of healing - the yin, paralleled to the yang energy of Usui Reiki. When Violet Flame and Usui Reiki are used together, practitioners can achieve a state of balance and harmony in themselves and in those that they’re healing. History of the Violet Flame The Violet Flame has been an energy of tremendous importance for many hundreds of years. The alchemists were a group of people who sought to change base metals, like lead, into gold. However, this process was merely a superficial reflection of a much deeper and more rewarding process: self-transformation, or the transformation of lower, material essences into higher, spiritual forces. The Violet Flame is a unique spiritual energy that encourages the transmutation and transformation of our problems, both physical and mental. The Violet Flame has been around for millennia, and was used by such Ascended Masters as Jesus and the Buddha. However, the Violet Flame wasn’t brought into public use until the early 20th century, when the Master Saint Germain encouraged its use among healers and walkers of the spiritual path. Using Violet Flame Reiki Violet Flame Reiki is generally supposed to complement Usui Reiki. Once you have been attuned for using Violet Flame Reiki, its energy will generally come forth without you needing to focus on it. Violet Flame Reiki attunements can only be given once a practitioner has reached the level of Master. Practitioners who have reached this level should practice pulsing energy between the palms of their hands. This can allow them to differentiate between the Violet Flame’s yin and Usui’s yang energies. Violet Flame Meditation Using a Violet Flame meditation before or after a Reiki healing session can benefit both the healer and the healed. A simple outline of this meditation: ● Set your intention: what do you want to heal, transform, or transmute ● Open yourself with a mantra (described below) ● Visualize a sphere of white-hot fire ● Transform the white-hot fire into violet ● Repeat the second Mantra listed below several times until you feel it has taken effect ● Send the flame to others, if your intention is to heal others Violet Flame Mantra A good opening mantra for beginning a Violet Flame meditation would be one that opens you up to healing. For example: Om mane padme hum. The second mantra, to be repeated during the meditation, is as follows: I AM the Violet Flame of presence, blazing and transforming whatever within me that needs to be healed.
