What Is Distance Reiki?

Distance Reiki is sending Reiki energy across space and time. The practitioner is in one place. The recipient is in another. The energy still flows.

How does it work? Time and space are not barriers to energy. The energy flows through intention. The practitioner intends the energy to reach the recipient, and it does.

Distance Reiki is the practice of sending Reiki energy to someone who is not physically present. It uses the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen symbol to transcend time and space. Distance Reiki is equally effective as in-person Reiki. It can be used for people in other cities, countries, or even for past events and future situations. To receive distance Reiki, the recipient simply needs to be open and willing. Many people report feeling warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation during distance sessions. It is a wonderful option for those who cannot attend in-person sessions.

  • The recipient: Does not need to do anything. Simply receives the energy at the agreed time. May feel warmth, tingling, or relaxation.
  • The connection: The energy flows through intention. Time and space are not barriers. The recipient is connected to the energy.
  • The experience: Many recipients report the same sensations as in-person Reiki. The effects are just as real.
