WHAT IS DISTANCE
REIKI?
Distance Reiki is where a client receives Reiki without being physically present with the Reiki Practitioner. Distance Reiki can be facilitated for anyone, anywhere and at any time.
Distance Reiki works according to an ancient principle called the Hermetic Law of Similarity which holds that we are all connected, as we are all made of energy and part of a larger whole. Invoking this law during a distance Reiki session allows the Reiki Practitioner to connect to the energy field of the recipient.
Distance Reiki (or Reiki in absentia) for the most part is the same as hands-on Reiki in the sense that the session involves the same set of hand positions on the body and the timing of the positions is completely guided by your energy body’s Creative Intelligence.
The only real difference between hands-on Reiki and distance Reiki is that a proxy is used in place of your body and you aren’t physically there in front of the Reiki Practitioner, lying on the massage table with the Practitioner's hands directly on your body for those positions.
WHAT TO EXPECT
FOR YOUR DISTANCE REIKI THERAPY SESSION
PRIOR TO YOUR DISTANCE REIKI SESSION
Most Distance Reiki sessions occur via Zoom where you will attend in the same way as you would in person, only remotely. The Reiki session will begin with an initial consultation via zoom, discussing your needs and expectations, an introduction about Reiki, what to expect and how the session will be conducted with ample time for you to ask any questions you may have about Reiki and/or what you are hoping to achieve from your Reiki treatment.
In special cases where you aren't able to attend, you will be asked by your Reiki Practitioner to provide for a clear photo of your face (with no eye-coverings such as sunglasses that hide your eyes in the picture). This, along with sacred symbols enables your Reiki Practitioner to connect with your energy field. Where possible, you will also be asked to make yourself available during the session time for an initial consultation over the telephone.
COMMENCING YOUR DISTANCE REIKI SESSION
When you feel ready, after the initial consultation, you will be asked to lie down somewhere comfortable and quiet for the duration of the Reiki session with your computer or device nearby for the duration. Your Reiki Practitioner does not need to see you, but you will need to be able to hear them in case there is anything you need to ask or communicate during the session and for them to let you know when the session is complete. When attending via zoom, your Practitioner will remain on the screen for the duration of the Reiki session, although you don't need to look at them. It is preferable that when you lie down, you close your eyes and relax into the session.
Your Reiki Practitioner will connect to your energy and will commence the session using a sacred symbol known as the 'distance symbol'. When invoked, this symbol allows them to connect with your energy body which allows your energy body (through your Reiki Practitioner as the conduit) to draw in the Reiki energy across time and space.
​
Upon invoking the symbols, your Reiki Practitioner will commence the series of Reiki hands placements, much like they would on your physical body in a hands-on Reiki session, using a proxy for your body.
WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO DURING THE DISTANCE REIKI SESSION
During the session you will be asked to lie down in a comfortable position ( you may wish to listen to some soothing music) and message will be sent to let you know when the session has begun and ended.
AFTER-SESSION DEBRIEF
At the end of the session, your Reiki Practitioner will gently communicate when the session is complete, allowing time for you to come back into your space and slowly sit up and have some water or tea to help you gently ‘come back’ into the world. When you are ready, you will be asked to return to your computer or device for a follow-up face to face with your Practitioner to debrief with you Practitioner about anything that may have come up for you that you wish to share, any questions or concerns.​​
​
If any psychic impressions have come through to assist you in your next stage of healing and growth, you will be asked if you would like to receive and discuss them. This is not Reiki and is entirely optional and based on your comfort level. These impressions are not guaranteed, they may or may not come through during your session.
Where there are special circumstances and you attend by telephone, a follow up telephone call will be arranged for the debrief.

WHY CHOOSE DISTANCE REIKI THERAPY
Whether you have distance Reiki or hands-on Reiki, the Reiki you receive is exactly the same.
However, some people love distance Reiki because of the convenience of not having to set aside time to travel to an in-person session and instead, being able to attend by Zoom wherever they are. Further some clients who travel a lot or live interstate or overseas utilise Distance Reiki as their main source of Reiki Healing because they are geographically unable to attend a Reiki session in person.
