Distance Reiki Healing

Distance Reiki Healing

Chronic stress can be damaging – to the point where your body starts carrying it physically in the form of ongoing tension, low energy, aches and pains, and unexplained symptoms. You may also feel ‘unbalanced’, emotional and easily overwhelmed.

Distance Reiki is a simple and effective form of energy healing, which works gently with your energy to release tension, stress and blockage. With Reiki, it isn’t necessary to be physically present in the same space as your practitioner: they can connect to your energy field remotely. 

Many people come to distance healing for support with stress, anxiety, emotional strain, and physical symptoms linked to these issues. No matter where you are in the world, a Reiki healing session can support your body in settling, releasing tension, and restoring your physical and emotional balance.

What is Distance Reiki and how can it help me?

Distance Reiki is a simple and effective form of energy healing, which helps you to:

• Settle, relax and reconnect with yourself:
• Release tension, energy blockages, unresolved emotions and pain;
• Reactivate your body’s own self-healing ability;
• Boost your energy levels and vitality:
• Improve your body’s immunity;
• Promote a sense of wellbeing;
• Integrate body, mind and spirit;
• Recreate inner balance and peace.

 

How does Distance Reiki work?

At the subtlest level, everything in existence is comprised of ‘life force’ energy – including human beings. When a person is relaxed, healthy and living in tune with nature, the energy flow throughout their system will be free-flowing, balanced and vital.

However, if a person experiences excessive challenges (such as a severe accident or living in a damp environment) or prolonged stress (such as an unresolved emotional experience or trauma), then corresponding parts of their energy field become disrupted, leading to blockage or deficiency. Disruptions to the free-flow of our energy then results in further symptoms and reduced health and vitality.

In remote Reiki, the therapist connects to and channels universal life force energy into the client’s energy field. The energy naturally flows to the areas where it is needed, helping to release blockages and balance out deficiencies – and gradually restoring balance and harmony to the whole system.

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” (Albert Einstein)

Benefits of distance Reiki Healing

Distance Reiki works in a gentle and gradual way to improve the flow of energy throughout your system, and flush out stress, tension and blockage over time. It can be very effective for stress reduction, pain relief, nervous system rebalancing and emotional support.

A Reiki healing session can help to move the body out of a state of chronic tension and into a more settled, grounded state. This is very beneficial for people struggling with ongoing depression, anxiety or emotional pressure, as it creates space for the body to clear out stress and to heal.

Many people feel physical changes during a healing session, such as a softening of tense muscles as the body enters a state of deep relaxation. Other people feel a sensation of healing warmth and the sensation of a weight being lifted. Reiki can help to ease aches and pains such as pressure headaches, jaw tension, back discomfort, general fatigue, and other issues related to long-term holding patterns of stress.

Reiki can also bring a sense of clarity and awareness that many clients find very beneficial. When the body and mind are more settled, it becomes easier to notice, understand and respond to underlying physical and mental issues.

 

What happens in a Distance Reiki healing session?

Your first distance Reiki session includes an initial video or email consultation to discuss your intentions for healing and share any important information about your medical history.

For you to receive maximum benefit, it is best if you can arrange a time where you will be able to lie/sit down quietly, in a peaceful place where you won’t be disturbed. You are welcome to play soft background music if this helps you to relax. (We don’t usually stay connected via video/audio for the session unless you feel it is necessary for you, but will connect again at the end.)

I will begin the treatment by connecting with you remotely and having the intention to channel Reiki energy into your energy field. The energy has its own intelligence and will naturally flow to any areas of deficiency or blockage where healing is needed. If you have a particular area of injury or symptom then it is also possible to direct the energy there for part of the session: just let me know beforehand if you have any specific healing intentions.

All sessions include a follow-up email summary (or video/audio chat if needed), which allows you to understand and be involved in your healing process. 

Here is an article I wrote recently if you would like any more information about remote Reiki healing.

What will I feel or experience in a Distance Reiki session?

Clients can experience a variety of different things, from subtle to more obvious. You may feel relaxed or sleepy, and/or notice sensations of heat, cold or energy running through your body. You may experience old pains, emotions, visual images or memories temporarily surfacing as they are released from your energy field. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ experience – your healing process is totally individual to you.

It can be interesting for you to stay awake and present for your session (you can learn quite a lot about yourself in the process) however, if you happen to fall asleep then rest assured that the healing will still be going to where it is needed.

If any intense emotions or sensations arise, if you need, you can gently open your eyes and look around you, to help you stay connected with the present moment whilst allowing the emotions to gently surface and release. Whilst it can feel temporarily intense, the subconscious mind will only release things that you are ready to deal with at any given time.

The healing changes can continue for a few days after the session, most strongly for 24 hours. During this time, it is good to rest as much as you need to, drink lots of water and listen to your body to see if it requires any extra support with the healing process (eg particular kinds of food, extra sleep, self care rituals, more time to yourself to process the emotions or gentle movement).

Who is distance Reiki healing good for?

Distance Reiki is beneficial for people who feel stretched, overwhelmed or out of balance, and are looking for a quiet, gentle way to help their bodies rebalance naturally.

Distance healing specifically can suit those who find travel stressful, who physically cannot reach their Reiki practitioner, who feel uncomfortable in physical proximity to others (perhaps due to social anxiety or past trauma), or who feel more relaxed and grounded in their own spaces.

Distance Reiki healing also suits those suffering from physical tension that does not fully ease with rest alone. This can include issues linked to stress, such as headaches, chronic tension, jaw tightness, back discomfort, or ongoing fatigue.

You may not have a specific focus or a clear issue to work with – you may just feel that something is ‘off’ and want to explore the potential of Reiki distance healing to get to the heart of the problem. This is also a very valid starting point.

Distance healing is not intended as a replacement for medical or psychiatric treatment and may not be suitable in cases of severe mental illness such as psychosis or schizophrenia.

Where does Reiki come from?

Reiki is an ancient and sacred form of energy healing, which was rediscovered by Dr Usui in the early 1920’s.

Dr Usui was a Japanese Christian minister based in Tokyo university. One day, one of his students asked him if he believed in the stories of Jesus’ healing and if so, if he knew how Jesus did this. This question triggered in Dr Usui a deep desire to understand and a life-changing, seven-year search that took him to Chicago to study Christian texts, and then back to Japan to look into Buddhism – since he remembered that there were also stories of Buddha having healed people.

Finally, Dr Usui discovered references to hands-on energy healing and sacred Reiki symbols in an ancient Tibetan Buddhist text, demonstrating that Reiki must also have been practiced in much earlier times.

In addition to the written information he discovered, Dr Usui also received a mysterious divine ‘initiation’ during a 21 day period of intensive meditation, when he ‘asked’ God to be shown how to use Reiki for healing (since there were no ‘how to’ instructions in the ancient text) – after which he found he was able to connect with and channel this healing energy.

Dr Usui began practicing and teaching Reiki healing in Tokyo, Japan, towards the end of his life, passing down the master (teacher) role to his most devoted student, Dr Hayashi. Just before WW2, Dr Hayashi, wanting to avoid being called up to fight, passed down the title to Miss Takata (who had become a devotee of the method after healing herself from brain cancer using only Reiki). He then left his body.

Miss Takata (most likely, along with Dr Hayashi’s wife), began to initiate and train more teachers (22 in total during her lifetime) – and so Reiki began to spread much more widely throughout the West, as well as Japan.

Usui Reiki is one of the purest and simplest methods of healing in existence. It involves channelling universal healing energy to help rebalance a person’s energy field, body and mind. Reiki can be practised both hands-on and the same energy can be sent to a person by distance.

Trainee Reiki practitioners receive four energy attunements and tuition to enable to them to channel universal, high frequency Reiki energy for the purpose of healing themselves and others. 

Why choose distance Reiki instead of in-person?

Distance Reiki can remove a lot of the potential stressors of an in-person session. You don’t have to worry about travel logistics; you can relax in your own safe, comfortable space, and you don’t have to deal with the physical presence of another person. This can make it a lot easier to relax without distractions, residual travel stress, or social anxieties.

For some people, this leads to a more contained and inward experience. The session becomes less about the surroundings and more about what is happening internally.

Distance Reiki also allows for more flexibility than you might get with an in-person session. A healing session can take place no matter where you and your practitioner are based in the world.
