Distance Reiki
I would love to provide you with Distance Reiki!
But, first, let's get into this, shall we?
Yes, I fully understand that Distant Reiki might sound really "out there" to you,
and, furthermore, I understand that Reiki by itself (regular in-person Reiki)
might sound nonsensical ...
not to me, mind you, but possibly to you.
For this reason, kindly allow me to attempt to offer an explanation.
We are more than our physical bodies.
Our thoughts, emotions, feelings, ideas, perspectives, and moral beliefs
all exist within us but they are not part of our physical bodies.
They are energies that can affect our physical bodies
but they are not physical elements.
Reiki involves self-healing.
It is a natural healing energy that works
not only on the physical level
but, also, on the mental, emotional, and spiritual levels.
Additionally, our souls (our spirits) also form part of who we are
and those are definitely not physical elements.
Reiki energy connects on our spiritual and energetic levels.
Distant Reiki sessions actually do work
because energy is not limited by distance.
Distance is a physical limitation only.
Perhaps think about this for a moment ...
We accept other energy frequencies that we cannot see,
such as electricity, radios, cell phones, wi-fi, etc.
Initially, these frequencies were thought to be too unbelievable to be true,
but now they are accepted as normal and day-to-day functioning.
In order for these energies to work, they have to be tuned in
and Distance (or Distant or Remote) Reiki works similarly.
After all, energy knows no bounds!
The Reiki Practitioner acts as a conduit
and tunes the healing energy to the person it is being sent to.
It then flows through the energy currents that exist naturally.
Distance is not an obstacle for Reiki
in the same way that it isn't for cell phones or the internet.
If you come to me for an in-person Reiki Healing Session,
I always ask if I have permission to place my hands on your body.
I explain that Reiki is just as effective whether or not I’m touching you
and that, if you prefer,
I can hover my hands above you and you’ll still receive the benefits.
Thus, the Reiki Practitioner need not physically touch the body.
The healing session can be performed with the hands just above the body
and it is just as effective as a hands-on treatment.
I'm pretty sure someone way more intelligent than I,
someone who understands
quantum mechanics, string theory, scientific amazingness, etc.,
would have a whole lot more to say on this topic
and, I'm sure, could offer much more astute explanations, statements, and theories.
Your Distance Reiki Session
Together you and I can select a time to schedule the session
and the length of time you’d like!
It’s also okay if we don’t choose any specific time and
I can just provide you with Distance Reiki
whenever I have the availability.
You'll still receive the benefits!
During the session you can either go about your life or sit/lie down comfortably.
Whether or not you'd like to coordinate a time together,
I'll sit down in my studio at the time that has been set aside for your session and
I will provide you with Distance Reiki!
There are different ways to provide Distance Reiki Healing!
(I won't get into these specifics that
are taught in a Reiki Level II Class).
You will be able to choose the amount of time that will be best for you
(15 minutes, 20 minutes, 45 minutes, 60 minutes ...),
but I recommend at least 30 minutes,
and I'd say 30-minute sessions seem to be the norm!
The rest of this page refers to Distance Reiki provided
when we're in contact via phone, or email, or text
and while you're resting comfortably.
When we're hooked up via phone throughout the session
we can communicate in real time
and you can hear my music
or you can listen to your own music ... or not.
Yes, we can speak to each other during the session, if you'd like.
I will speak with you (or text or email you)
immediately prior to the session
and then again when it has concluded.
You can request focus on a certain area or areas ... or not!
Then we will go from there.
You might feel sensations similar to those that you've felt
during an in-person Reiki Session,
(if you've experienced in-person Reiki, that is).
You might not notice anything but, as always,
I believe that you’ll receive whatever Reiki you need at the time of your session.
My price is similar to an in-person session.
Please contact me when you’re interested in
giving Distance Reiki a try!
You might just love it! 😍
A Little More About Distance Reiki
Here's something interesting that I discovered …
In 2010 in the United Kingdom,
a National Occupational Standard *
was developed and actually acknowledged
the following three distinct types of Reiki practices:
* hands on the body
* hands near the body
* from a distance
This recognition of Distance Reiki in the United Kingdom is very significant
in that Reiki has been recognized as an occupation
that can be performed by distance away from the client.
Interesting, huh?
“We are not a body with a soul, but a soul with a body.” Wayne Dyer
* (a statement of the standards of performance individuals must achieve
when carrying out functions in the workplace,
together with specifications of the underpinning knowledge and understanding)
