What's the difference between Angelic Reiki and Usui (traditional)? Unlike traditional Reiki, which channels universal life force energy, Angelic Reiki connects directly with the angelic realm. During your session, healing energy flows from the highest divine source, through the hands of the practitioner, to wherever it’s needed most — across time, space, and even lifetimes. The angels know exactly what to heal and how to do it, without limitation. It was introduced by Kevin Core in 2003 after what he described as a divinely guided download from Archangel Metatron. While Reiki in general channels universal life force energy, Angelic Reiki specifically calls in healing energy from angels, archangels, ascended masters, and galactic light beings. In the attunement process, Usui attunement is given by the master themselves, while in Angelic, it's given by the angelic kingdom and directed by the facilitator.
