Distance Reiki Explained: How to Receive Healing From Afar
In today’s fast-paced world, where many of us are juggling endless responsibilities, finding effective ways to nurture our well-being is more important than ever.
Distance Reiki offers a transformative healing experience that transcends physical boundaries, allowing individuals to receive the benefits of Reiki no matter where they are.
In this blog post, we’ll explore what distance Reiki is, how it works, what to expect during and after a session, and the key differences between in-person and distance healing.
What Is Distance Reiki and How Does It Work?
Distance Reiki is a form of energy healing that harnesses the universal life force energy to promote healing, balance, and relaxation. Unlike traditional Reiki sessions, which typically take place in person, distance Reiki allows the practitioner to send healing energy to the recipient over any distance—whether it’s across the room or across the globe.
The process relies on the principle that energy is not confined by space or time. When a practitioner sends distance Reiki, they use various techniques, such as visualization, intention-setting, and symbols, to connect with the recipient’s energy field.
Through this connection, the practitioner can help clear blockages, release emotional stress, and facilitate overall healing.
What to Expect After a Distance Reiki Session
After a distance Reiki session, many recipients report feeling a profound sense of relaxation and calmness. You may experience a range of sensations during the session—such as warmth, tingling, or a gentle wave of energy—as the practitioner works with your energy field.
In the hours and days following your session, it's common to notice shifts in your emotional and physical state. You might find yourself feeling more centered, experiencing clarity of thought, or having vivid dreams as your body processes the healing energy. It’s essential to drink plenty of water and take time for self-reflection, as this can enhance your experience and integration of the healing.
Differences Between In-Person and Distance Healing
While both in-person and distance Reiki aim to promote healing, there are some key differences between the two:
Physical Presence: In-person sessions allow for a physical connection, where the practitioner can directly manipulate energy in the body. In distance sessions, the energy is sent remotely, relying on intention and visualization.
Environment: During in-person sessions, the practitioner creates a specific environment conducive to healing, often incorporating calming music, essential oils, and comforting touches. In distance sessions, you have the flexibility to choose a space that feels safe and relaxing to you.
Accessibility: Distance Reiki makes it accessible for anyone, anywhere, making it an excellent option for those with mobility issues or those living far from a practitioner.
A Typical Distance Session with Lisa
At the beginning of a Reiki session, I take time to learn about your goals for physical, emotional, and mental well-being. We'll discuss your health history, any specific concerns, and your intentions for the reiki session.
Once we’re ready, I guide you into a meditative state (if on Zoom) or assist you in choosing meditation music. Next, using distance healing symbols and rituals, I invite in the support of Reiki masters, ancestors, and spiritual guides to assist in the healing process.
From there, you’ll settle into a restful position, either sitting or lying down, and I’ll begin sending Reiki energy. For the next 30-40 minutes, I’ll connect with your energy field, sensing any emotional blockages, physical tension, or energetic imbalances within your chakras and body. Throughout the session, I hold space with compassion, non-judgment, and presence, allowing insights and healing to flow intuitively.
At the end of the session, I gently guide you out of the meditative state and share any observations or intuitive messages that came through for your healing. We also take time to discuss your experience—any sensations, emotions, or visions you may have had—and answer any questions about the session.
If you decide to do it completely remote (without the Zoom call), I will email you your findings and an intuitive card reading within the next hour.
Reiki has been a tool in my healing toolbox for years, and I’m grateful to be able to share its profound benefits with others, no matter where they are in the world. Whether through distance or in-person sessions, Reiki offers a gentle yet powerful way to bring balance, clarity, and healing to all areas of life. If you're feeling called to explore energy healing or are curious about how Reiki can support your journey, know that the energy is here to meet you exactly where you are.
