There are about 25 different types of reiki, which are off shoots from the original reiki imparted by Dr.Usui.
The most important among them are:
Usui Reiki: Mikao Usui was the founder of reiki, which is practiced all over the world. Hawayo Takata, a Japanese woman, spread the teachings of Reiki, to the West.
Holly Fire Reiki: The ‘Holy Fire’ Energy is noticeably more refined and connects us directly with a high level of consciousness, more than any healing energy previously experienced.
It is powerful and gentle reiki energy, and brings deep personal cleansing, healing, empowerment and clear guidance.
Karuna Reiki: ‘Karuna’ means a profound feeling to alleviate suffering, with abiding compassion towards all beings. Karuna Reiki employs sounds, endowed with the power to heal. These sounds are sacred and powerful. They can be transmitted silently through intention or by chanting, to bring about deeper levels of healing. The power of Karuna Reiki is used to heal addictions.
