Reiki Distance Healing can Heal From Far Away... In both Time and Space.

Reiki distance healing is one of the most popular topics when people are first learning about Reiki. Most energy healing systems need the healer to be in more-or-less direct contact with the person receiving the energy healing. Often, the energy healing is done on oneself and Reiki works for that, too. But the ability to send Reiki energy through time and space is one thing which always gets the attention.

If you've read my story about the symbols, you'll know that it's not so simple. Now that I've shared how it can not work, let me share how it does work.

Reiki Can Go The Distance

Reiki is most often explained to people as a form of massage. While this explanation is well-intentioned, it is actually very inaccurate.  In normal, in-person Reiki treatments, the practitioner places his or her hands on the body of the recipient. This is only to make the giving of the Reiki energy easier. In fact, when using Reiki energy on a sensitive or awkward area, the practitioner will typically move his or her hands to a place about 6-12 inches (15-30 cm.) away from the body.

However, Reiki distance healing requires the use of the proper Reiki symbol. With this, the Reiki healer can form a connection between them and the recipient. From there, they direct the Reiki energy as seems right to them.

In doing distance Reiki, healers seem to have different spins on how it's done. This is perfectly natural, as the point is to give the Reiki energy to the recipient. As each person is different, so is each practitioner.

My own Reiki teacher had me do Reiki distance healing as part of my classwork, just to reinforce the lessons and give me proof of concept that it does work.

Reiki Distance Healing Through Time?

During the same lessons, my teacher had me try sending Reiki energy to myself as in previous lessons. The difference this time was that she had me send it to the past, and then to the future.

Reiki energy sent to an event in the past does help. It doesn't change the event, but it does ease the pain. That in turn improves your life in the present. I selected an event that had mental/emotional repercussions over my entire life so far. Looking back on it now, it is so faded, I have to work recall it. The memory is there, but it is no longer actively hurting me. To remove the pain, but leave the memory impressed me greatly.

My experiences sending Reiki into the future were even more interesting. I chose to send Reiki healing to myself in terms of a painful work environment that I was experiencing. I spent some time sending Reiki energy into the future and just letting it flow.

When I returned to work, I didn't notice a big difference. I wondered what was going on. I just shrugged and went about my job, figuring I'd see a response sooner or later.

A couple of weeks after I sent the Reiki energy into the future, I was dealing with an extremely stressful situation, I suddenly felt the Reiki energy flowing into me. Instead of simply showing up when I returned to work, the Reiki energy went to the "critical point" and gave me exactly what I needed, when I needed it. This forever squashed any doubts I had about sending Reiki energy through time.

Reiki is More than Distance Healing.

While Reiki distance healing is wonderful, it is just one part of what makes Reiki such a powerful and versatile healing mode. The protections it gives the practitioner, the restrictions it has against doing harm, the intelligent way it applies itself, these things and more give Reiki a special place in my heart.
