Distance Reiki: What is it and How Does it Work?
Technology has shrunk the boundaries of space and time, and it’s no surprise that traditional practices like Reiki are also adapting to this new reality. Distance or remote Reiki is a form of energy healing that has gained popularity in recent years as people seek alternative methods to improve their well-being and achieve inner peace.
Let’s explore the fascinating world of Reiki, how it works, and how distance Reiki can benefit you.
What is Reiki?
If you’ve visited this blog before, you’re familiar with Reiki as a Japanese healing technique that dates back to the early 20th century. The word "Reiki" is derived from two Japanese words: “Rei,” meaning universal, and “Ki,” meaning life force energy. This universal life force energy flows through all living things, and maintaining a balance of this energy is essential for health and overall well-being.
In-person Reiki sessions involve a practitioner placing their hands on or near the body, channeling this healing energy to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and facilitate the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
What is Distance Reiki?
Distance Reiki, or remote Reiki, is a variation of traditional Reiki where the practitioner sends healing energy to the recipient from a distance. The fundamental principle of Reiki is that energy transcends physical boundaries, making it possible for practitioners to connect with and send healing energy to someone regardless of their geographical location. This makes remote Reiki an excellent option when in-person sessions are not possible or for clients, like children, who may have difficulty staying still for long periods of time.
How Does Distance Reiki Work?
In a distance Reiki session, the practitioner and client agree on a time for the session. While you can discuss any specific intentions or issues beforehand, it's not always necessary. One of the key principles of Reiki is that life force energy knows exactly where to go. The practitioner’s role is to focus their intention on sending this energy, intuitively directing it to support the client’s healing needs.
For my remote sessions, I work specifically with the chakra system and the layers of the recipient’s energy field. I also use visualization, and mantras to direct the flow of energy. To assist with relaxation and a meditative state, I often send an intuitive selection of music or frequencies that the client can listen to during the session, which helps create a deeper connection, even when we're not physically in the same space.
The Benefits of Distance Reiki
Much like traditional Reiki, distance Reiki offers a wide range of benefits:
Stress Relief: Distance Reiki can help reduce stress and promote deep relaxation, allowing the body and mind to find balance.
Emotional Healing: Reiki helps clear energy blockages and promotes emotional healing, creating a sense of calm and inner peace.
Physical Comfort: Many recipients report relief from physical pain and discomfort after a session, thanks to Reiki’s ability to improve the flow of energy in the body.
Mental & Spiritual Well-being: By working with the energy centers (chakras), remote Reiki optimizes the flow of life energy, promoting overall emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being.
Is Distance Reiki Effective?
Remote Reiki has proven to be a powerful form of healing for many people, particularly in a world where personal time is often limited and physical distance may be an obstacle. If you are seeking stress relief, emotional healing, or a greater sense of balance, distance Reiki offers a unique and effective approach to addressing your wellness goals.
While it may not replace traditional medical treatments, many people find that integrating Reiki into their wellness routines has a positive impact on their health. It’s a holistic approach that goes beyond treating symptoms, addressing the mind, body, and spirit.
