Reiki distance healing, also known as remote Reiki or absent Reiki, is a form of energy healing where a Reiki practitioner channels healing energy to a recipient who is not physically present. It is based on the principles of Reiki, a Japanese healing technique that involves the transfer of universal life force energy to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In a traditional Reiki session, the practitioner places their hands lightly on or near the recipient's body to facilitate the flow of energy. However, in distance healing, the practitioner uses intention and focused energy to send Reiki to the recipient regardless of their physical location. The process of distance healing typically involves the following steps:
1. Intention and Connection: The practitioner sets the intention to send Reiki energy to the recipient and establishes a connection with their energy field. This connection can be established through various methods, such as visualization, symbols, or mantras.
2. Sending Reiki Energy: The practitioner begins to channel Reiki energy and directs it towards the recipient. They may use visualization techniques, such as imagining a beam of light or placing their hands on a representation of the recipient, like a photograph or a written name.
3. Healing Session: The practitioner performs the Reiki treatment as they would in an in-person session. They focus on balancing and clearing the recipient's energy centers (chakras), promoting relaxation, and addressing any specific areas of concern. The recipient may be encouraged to relax, meditate, or engage in self-care practices during the scheduled session.
4. Closing the Session: Once the healing session is complete, the practitioner disconnects from the recipient's energy field and concludes the session. They may provide feedback or insights from the session to the recipient.
Reiki distance healing is based on the belief that energy transcends physical boundaries and can be transmitted and received effectively over distances. While the recipient may not physically feel the practitioner's touch, they are believed to receive the healing energy and experience its benefits. Many people find distance healing to be just as effective as in-person sessions, reporting feelings of relaxation, stress reduction, pain relief, and overall well-being. However, it's important to note that the effectiveness of Reiki and distance healing is subjective and varies from person to person. It is considered a complementary therapy and should not replace medical treatment or professional healthcare advice. Distance healing sessions are typically scheduled, and recipients may provide feedback or communicate with the practitioner before and after the session to share their experiences and discuss any concerns or questions they may have.
