Distance Reiki: How It Works and Why It's the Perfect Wellness Option for Busy Lives
Reiki is a powerful and calming energy practice, designed to balance and heal the mind, body, and spirit. Traditionally performed in person, Reiki can also be done remotely through a method known as Distance Reiki, offering the same healing effects without the need to be in the same physical space. If you’re curious about how distance Reiki works, or if you're looking for a way to integrate calming energy work into a busy lifestyle, read on to learn about the benefits and logistics of this unique practice.
How Does Distance Reiki Work?
At its core, Reiki is based on the concept of universal life force energy flowing through us all. This energy is accessible beyond the limits of physical space, meaning Reiki practitioners like Heather can effectively send healing energy even when their client isn’t in the same room. Distance Reiki operates on the understanding that energy transcends physical location, connecting practitioner and client no matter the distance.
In a distance Reiki session, Heather uses a body chart as a focus for this healing energy, focusing on her client's energy field and directing positive energy flow to areas in need. The energy that is channeled can still be deeply felt by the client, who may experience sensations such as warmth, tingling, or simply a powerful sense of calm as the session progresses. Whether your distance reiki practitioner is down the street or on the other side of the world, the experience remains powerful, as the intention and energy flow remain the same. Heather has even worked with clients in the UK and Turks & Caicos who felt empowered by the impacts of the session.
What Does a Distance Reiki Session Look Like?
A Distance Reiki session begins with a video call, where you and I will connect in real-time. Before the session, I’ll send an email outlining how to set up your space to prepare for a relaxing, comfortable experience. This preparation sort of mirrors the in-person experience, where creating a peaceful environment is key to maximizing the benefits of Reiki.
During the session, you'll be encouraged to sit or lie down in a comfortable spot, wherever you feel most relaxed. The session is typically held over video, but unlike an in-person session, you have the comfort and familiarity of your own space. Just as with traditional Reiki, I'll guide the energy to areas of your body and aura where it’s needed most, using visualization and intention to focus the flow. The distance won’t interfere with the session’s effectiveness, as Reiki energy can move across time and space with the right focus and intention.
Many clients find this environment even more soothing than being in an unfamiliar setting, as they can truly relax without leaving their homes. And as your practitioner, I will be fully present and connected with your energy throughout, ensuring that the session feels just as intimate and healing as if we were in the same room.
Ps. Don't worry, if you fall asleep - I will simply disconnect the call and you can continue snoozing away!
The Benefits of Distance Reiki for Busy People
One of the greatest benefits of distance Reiki is the flexibility and ease it offers for those with a packed schedule or mobility challenges. Finding time to travel to a wellness appointment can be challenging, especially for those balancing work, family, and self-care. Distance Reiki allows you to experience the calming, grounding effects of Reiki without taking extra time for travel, worrying about commute time, or needing to find childcare.
Reiki is known for reducing stress, promoting relaxation, and restoring energetic balance — all of which can be achieved in the comfort of your home. This flexibility makes distance Reiki a perfect option for people seeking balance and peace amidst a busy lifestyle. You can even schedule a session during a break in your day, allowing you to return to your routine with a clearer, more centered mindset (though, I personally prefer a day of nothing after my reiki session).
Distance Reiki also gives you the chance to experience deep relaxation, which can help release tension and boost energy levels. It’s a revitalizing way to reconnect with yourself and find inner calm without needing a large block of time.
A Personal Note:
When I began learning Reiki, my practitioner was a colleague from Quebec who had graduated the year before me. Since I was learning during the start of the 2020 pandemic, it was not possible for me to meet someone IRL (in real life) to experience reiki.
I had recently graduated with my BSc in Biology & Anthropology and was a bit skeptical about reiki (yes, even though I signed up to learn it). My distance reiki experience with my practitioner not only took away any doubts that it was a real thing, but also showed me a level of magic that I didn’t know existed.
My practitioner knew exactly where I felt what in my body & even had a few really incredible intuitive experiences during the session.
That’s what I hope to bring to you during our online session!Why Choose Distance Reiki
As you might know, I’ll be offering distance Reiki sessions while traveling in Europe this January, you have the exciting & unique opportunity to book sessions across time zones! This makes it convenient for clients to access the benefits of Heather's Healing Support with Reiki - even with our differing locations. So, if you’re new to distance Reiki or have only ever had in-person sessions, this could be an ideal way to continue your practice, wherever you are.
With distance Reiki, you can experience the same calming, restorative energy you’re used to from in-person sessions, but with the ease of a virtual appointment. The best part? You don’t have to change much about your daily routine to make room for healing and self-care.
Give Distance Reiki a Try — Accessible, Powerful, and Perfect for Busy Lives
Distance Reiki is a transformative and grounding practice that’s accessible from anywhere, offering the same benefits of in-person sessions with added flexibility. If you're curious about trying a session, consider setting aside some time to experience this energy work for yourself.
Whether you’re seeking relief from stress, a way to reconnect with yourself, or simply a moment of peace in your busy life, distance Reiki can be a wonderful addition to your wellness routine. Allow yourself to feel the power of Reiki — wherever you may be.
