Reiki can be shared at a distance. I will typically ask for a current picture (one taken right before the session). Quantum Physics has proven that we are all energetically connected and through this connection, whether in person or through distance, Reiki is present. Reiki’s healing energy can be shared with an individual or animal, a group, an event, or even situations in the past, present or future ~ there are absolutely no limitations as to what Reiki can be shared with. Since Reiki is universal life energy, it does not recognize the linear boundaries of time and space we are used to. Some common distant requests for healing are:
Everything in the universe is made of energy - every single thing: air, water, cells, molecules and even emotions. Each cell pulses electrically and the body itself emanates electromagnetic fields. The body is a complex energetic system composed of hundreds of energetic subsystems. Disease is caused by energetic imbalances; therefore, health can be restored or established by balancing one's energies.
Reiki energy works to produce results for the highest good for all involved, and will never override a person or animal's free-will or cause harm. The only requirement for distance treatments is openness to have this energy flow to you or your animal and a sincere willingness to receive and benefit from this energy.
To receive Distant Reiki it is recommended that you set aside quiet time and just sit and relax, if possible. It is not necessary to be in this quiet state, Reiki will still work for the highest good of the receiver if you are unable. I always like to think of a session as an energetic massage.
During a distant session heat/cold may be felt, tingling may be felt and/or visual experiences may occur ~ these are all normal (same as an in-person session). Many times people/animals fall asleep and it is important to remember you are still receiving exactly what you need.
