Many people wonder how a distant Reiki session can take place when the practitioner and client are in different locations. Reiki works across time and space, it is a channeled life force energy coming from an infinite source through the practitioner and it is used to heal incidents from different timelines, clearing blocks and negativity, bring inner balance, vitalize, empower and many more benefits.
Distant Reiki offers a convenient way to experience this holistic healing modality from the comfort of your own home and it's as effective as in person sessions.
What Is Distant Reiki?
Reiki is a complementary wellness practice that many people use to support relaxation, reduce stress, and encourage a greater sense of balance. It is not a substitute for medical or mental health care, however it works along medical treatments and in post-recovery setting. If struggling from pain, tension Flow Input Technology offers sessions to restore, vitalize from pain and chronic tension, accelerating the recovery process. Our distant Reiki is one on one live sessions, where you meet the Reiki Master live on agreed scheduled time.
Before Your Session
Before your appointment, you will receive the session details and the scheduled time.
To prepare, you may wish to:
Find a quiet, comfortable place where you won't be disturbed.
Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
Silence your phone and other distractions.
Have a blanket nearby if it helps you relax.
Keep a glass of water within reach.
Some people choose to meditate for a few minutes before the session, while others simply lie down and rest.
During the Session
At the agreed time, we connect and discuss to get to know each other more and set intentions for the session if there are not any specific concerns. Later you are relaxed in whatever position feels most comfortable—lying on a bed, sitting in a comfortable chair, or resting on a sofa.
The practitioner begins the Reiki session while focusing their intention on transferring Reiki healing energy.During the session, there is nothing you need to do. There is no need to concentrate, meditate, or try to create a particular experience unless being guided to by the Master with specific healing experiences. Simply allow yourself time to rest.
People describe a wide range of experiences during Reiki sessions. Some report:
Deep relaxation
A feeling of warmth or gentle tingling
A sense of calm, feeling lighter
Emotional release
Peaceful thoughts
Falling asleep
Others may notice very little during the session itself. Every experience is unique, and there is no "right" way to experience Reiki.
After the Session
People report feeling calm and refreshed after a session. Some choose to spend a few quiet minutes reflecting on their experience or writing in a journal. The healing continues and it takes 21 days to adapt to new changes and clear old patterns and conditioned programs. Allow the time to adapt and be open to changes that are aligning to your path.
After your session, it can be helpful to:
Drink plenty of water.
Take a short walk if you feel like it.
Avoid rushing back into a busy schedule if possible.
Notice how you feel over the next day or two.
Everyone responds differently, so your experience may not be the same as someone else's.
Frequently Asked Questions
