What Is Distance Reiki and How It Works. Distance Reiki — also known as absent or remote Reiki — is a beautiful way to receive healing energy without being physically present with the practitioner. Reiki is not limited by time or space; it flows through the universal life force that connects all living beings. Because energy is not bound by physical distance, Reiki can be sent and received from anywhere in the world.During a distance Reiki session, I connect with your energy field through focused intention and the Reiki distance symbol (Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen), which embodies the understanding that we are all one and connected beyond the physical plane. Once the connection is made, the Reiki energy flows naturally — guided by your higher self and the universal intelligence of Reiki — to where it is needed most for healing, balance, and harmony.You may feel warmth, tingling, peace, or deep relaxation during a session, even if we are miles apart. Some clients notice emotional release, mental clarity, or a gentle sense of renewal in the hours or days that follow.Reiki is always safe, gentle, and respectful of your personal energy. It works on all levels — physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual — and supports the body’s natural ability to heal. Because Reiki transcends space and time, distance sessions can also be sent to past or future situations, helping to bring balance to life events or intentions.Ultimately, Distance Reiki works through the oneness of universal life energy. When the practitioner channels Reiki with clear intention and compassion, the energy resonates with your vibration — facilitating healing, peace, and alignment, wherever you are.
