Inspirations

For I, Usui, am a river.  I flow from the past to the future, through many turnings, yet I am that same river, in the past, in the present, in the future.

Dr Usui

There is no past and there is no present and there is no future, for even time itself is an illusion and by a single clap of the hand, it too can be returned to the void.

Dr Usui

Reiki From a Distance

Reiki is able to transcend time and space and therefore is a powerful energy for distant or absent healing.  In other words, a Reiki practitioner is able to treat someone equally as well if they are in another country to them or whether they are sitting in the same room with the practioners hands on them.

Quite often distant healing can be as powerful as a hands on treatment as the techniques the Reiki practitioner is trained in allow Reiki to be sent to all areas simultaneously and a 15 minute distant treatment can be equal to one and a half hours treatment of actual hands on time.

Distant healing can be used in between hands on sessions or as the chosen method of healing if it is challenging (because of physical location and/or lifestyle) for the practitioner and client to meet.

The Distant Treatment

In order to send distant healing the Reiki practitioner will set their intention to a specific individual, time and place.  This can either be whilst the recipient is "present" in an agreed time and place that is non-local to the practitioner, or, to a point ahead in time that has previously been agreed. 

For example it may not be possible for the recipient to find 15 to 30 minutes in their day to sit quietly and receive distant healing.  Therefore it could be agreed with the Reiki practitioner that distant healing will be sent to a specific time and location in that day (perhaps 10pm for example and to the recipients pillow); thereby allowing the recipient to receive the healing energies at a time and location suitable to them.

Healing the Past

It is important to be aware that "distance" is not just a physical aspect.

Just as time and space are no obstacle regarding the present and the future in Reiki healing, neither is the past.

Reiki is a powerful energy for assisting with the healing of past emotional influences.

Whether that be the focus of intention for a distant healing session or a "real" time hands on treatment.
