Violet Flame Reiki is a spiritually focused energy healing modality that combines traditional Reiki principles with the transformative symbolism of the “Violet Flame.” It is centered on the idea of energetic purification, spiritual elevation, and conscious transformation.
For those new to energy healing, Violet Flame Reiki may sound mystical or symbolic. In this article, we’ll explore its origins, deeper meaning, and spiritual purpose in a grounded and educational way.
Understanding the Foundation: What Is Reiki?
To understand Violet Flame Reiki, it helps to first understand traditional Reiki.
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice developed in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui. The word “Reiki” translates to:
Rei – Universal or higher wisdom
Ki – Life force energy
Reiki practitioners work with this universal life force energy through gentle touch or distance healing to promote energetic balance and relaxation.
Violet Flame Reiki builds upon this foundation but introduces a specific spiritual frequency and intention associated with transformation and transmutation.
The Origins of the Violet Flame Concept
The “Violet Flame” comes primarily from Western esoteric traditions, particularly teachings associated with the Ascended Master Saint Germain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
In these spiritual teachings, the Violet Flame represents:
- Spiritual purification
- Transformation of negative energy
- Higher consciousness
- Divine mercy and forgiveness
The violet color itself is often symbolically linked to the crown chakra and spiritual awakening. Over time, practitioners of energy healing began incorporating this frequency into Reiki sessions, giving rise to what is now called Violet Flame Reiki.
While traditional Reiki has Japanese roots, the Violet Flame component draws from Western metaphysical spirituality.
What Does the Violet Flame Symbolize?
In spiritual symbolism, fire represents change. It transforms what it touches.
The Violet Flame is believed to symbolize:
- Transmutation of lower vibrations into higher frequencies
- Release of karmic or energetic imbalances
- Spiritual renewal and inner purification
- Movement from limitation to expanded awareness
Rather than “removing” energy, the Violet Flame is often described as transforming it.
This is why many practitioners view it as a powerful spiritual tool for inner growth and energetic clarity.
How Violet Flame Reiki Is Practiced
Violet Flame Reiki sessions generally follow standard Reiki structure:
- The practitioner sets a clear intention.
- Energy is channeled through hands-on or distance methods.
- The session focuses on energetic balance and alignment.
However, in Violet Flame Reiki, the practitioner specifically invokes or visualizes the Violet Flame frequency during the session.
Some practitioners may incorporate:
- Visualization techniques
- Affirmations
- Spiritual invocations
- Chakra-focused energy work
- Distance healing practices
The emphasis is often on transformation, purification, and raising energetic vibration.
The Spiritual Purpose of Violet Flame Reiki
The core spiritual purpose of Violet Flame Reiki centers around transformation.
Rather than focusing solely on relaxation or stress relief (though those may occur), the practice is often oriented toward:
1. Energetic Transmutation
Transforming dense or stagnant energy into lighter, more balanced frequencies.
2. Spiritual Awakening
Supporting expanded awareness and connection to higher consciousness.
3. Emotional Release
Encouraging the release of stored emotional patterns from an energetic perspective.
4. Personal Evolution
Helping individuals move through life transitions with clarity and alignment.
5. Alignment With Higher Self
Supporting connection to inner wisdom and spiritual purpose.
It is important to note that Violet Flame Reiki is considered a complementary spiritual practice and is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment.
Who Is Drawn to Violet Flame Reiki?
People who are typically interested in Violet Flame Reiki may be:
- Exploring spiritual growth or consciousness work
- Interested in chakra healing and energy balancing
- Seeking symbolic or transformational healing experiences
- Drawn to metaphysical teachings about Saint Germain or ascended masters

Because of its spiritual emphasis, it often resonates with those who already have an interest in metaphysical or energy-based practices.
