What Is Distance Reiki?

Reiki is most often administered through an in-person, hands-on treatment while fully clothed recipients sit or lie down, it can also be practiced remotely. Distance Reiki, also known as remote Reiki, does not require recipients to be in the same location.

Reiki practitioners learn to administer distance Reiki in the second level of Reiki. Instead of directly transferring Reiki energy through touch, practitioners can use their thoughts and intentions to move energy into a recipient’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and even physical being.

Reiki can also be sent through time to situations that occurred in the past and events that will happen in the future. For people who struggle with acceptance of past traumas or worry excessively about future scenarios, Reiki treatment can facilitate healing and help with manifesting.

Distance Reiki works best when recipients are in relaxed environments. Places of work, areas with distractions, and other spaces with stressors are discouraged. Depending on the situation, treatments usually take between 10 minutes and 1 hr.

As a Reiki master who has facilitated and received remote sessions, I first call the client directly to ensure they’re in a comfortable, quiet location. This also creates an opportunity for us to discuss anything they wish to focus on for the treatment. Before ending the call, I then ask the client to rest and prepare to receive energy.

I use sacred symbols to allow energy to flow through physical and temporal dimensions. Then, I write the clients name on a piece of paper to place between my open palms facing one another and imagine placing my hands energetic centers within the client’s body.

When I complete the process, I call the client back and ask them about their experience and feelings. They often describe a warm, relaxing sensation. Some will tell me they felt an emotional release. Others say they were so calm they drifted to sleep. Some clients have vivid visualizations that relate to their life circumstances.

After they’ve shared, I share my experience. I often see bright colors, feel warmth in my hands, and even intuitive visions and messages.

At its most basic, a Reiki treatment is highly relaxing. Because all illness arises from some form of stress on the body, reducing stress through relaxation is a fundamental step in the healing process.

From there, practitioners can balance life-force energy, also known as chi or prana, which can often get blocked or pool excessively in areas of the body. According to the principles of Reiki, we are better able to progress in health and life when we allow energy to flow.

Distance Reiki offers a productive alternative to hands-on healing. Some people think that Distance Reiki is not as effective as in-person sessions but distance reiki healing can be better in certain situations.

Distance Reiki Session is best when a client lives somewhere with limited Reiki practitioners.
