Have you ever felt a deep connection to someone, even when they were far away? Or thought of a loved one just before they texted you? That invisible thread—that feeling—is what distance Reiki taps into.
At Within U Co., we believe healing is not confined by walls or location. Energy, like love, knows no bounds. Whether you're across town or across the world, Reiki energy can support your journey. In this guide, we’ll explore how remote Reiki works, and how you can prepare for a virtual session that’s just as powerful as an in-person experience.
What is Remote Reiki?
Remote or distance Reiki is an energy healing technique that allows practitioners to send Reiki to a person, situation, or location—without needing to be physically present. It may sound mystical, but it's rooted in traditional Usui Reiki teachings, where practitioners use sacred symbols—especially the Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen symbol—to connect across time and space.
In the simplest terms, Reiki practitioners channel universal life force energy, and intention acts as the bridge. Just like Wi-Fi or radio waves carry signals you can't see, Reiki energy can be sent and received through energetic alignment.
How Does Remote Reiki Work?
When offering a remote Reiki session, the practitioner follows a focused and intentional process:
Setting the intention: Practitioner and client may align on a goal or focus for the session—such as stress relief, clarity, or emotional release.
Entering a meditative state: The Reiki practitioner grounds and centers themselves.
Energetic connection: Using visualization, the client’s name or photo, or by agreeing on a shared time, the practitioner “tunes in” to the client’s energetic field.
Channeling energy: Reiki energy is channeled using traditional hand positions and sacred symbols.
