Distance healing is one of the most fascinating skills you learn in Reiki. Can you imagine sending peace and calm to a loved one across the country who is extremely anxious or stressed out? Or can you imagine being able to send healing to a friend across the world who has just undergone surgery? Or sending strength and comfort to someone undergoing a crisis?

Ideally, we want to be beside those we love who are suffering, but we cannot always do that. We can still help heal them across the distance, and it’s just as effective as being there in person.

We can also send healing energy to past traumas and to future events. A simple example: you have a job interview coming up next week. You can send empowering energy to that event, and more often than not, the outcome will be towards your highest good.

Distance healing in Reiki revolves around the concept of “no time, no space,” because the practitioner can step out of the space and time continuum to accomplish this. I will not get into scientific or spiritual explanations of how this works here – but we can start with a basic fact: everything has energy – from the desk in front of you, to your thoughts and feelings, to whatever resides in the ether. If we learn how to access this quantum field, we can send healing to any place, person, or event – past, present, or future. We learn how to do this in Reiki Level 2.
