Here in the West we think of Reiki as a healing therapy, but its roots are in personal and spiritual development. The Reiki practitioner works with the flow of universal energy and, through the power of intention, channels the energy towards himself or towards others.
So can anyone learn Reiki? Yes, anyone can be attuned to Reiki energy, although there is not much to learn in the traditional sense of the word. A Reiki Master will attune you to the energy and symbols. There are many schools of Reiki and they all have slightly different practices and routines, but they are all effective in some way. However, there are typically three levels: one, two, and three or Master level. At level one, the practitioner is connected to the Reiki energy and is presented with two of the symbols. At this level, practitioners will work on themselves and develop their link with Reiki energy. They can also work with other people.
It is at Level 2 that the Distant Heal symbol is introduced. The Distance Healing symbol allows you to establish a connection, across time and space, with someone or something. Many people find it incredible to think that someone can ‘send’ Reiki to another person in another room, or even in a different country. Some people think it’s impossible, yet the truth is that it works and can be just as effective as manual treatments, which is good news for those who, for whatever reason, can’t get treatment in person.
Reiki is an intelligent energy that always works for the highest good. When the Reiki practitioner sets the intention, through the use of the Distant Healing symbol, for the Reiki energy to flow, then he will. For example, the energy may be directed towards an individual who is about to undergo surgical treatment. The Reiki practitioner can set the intention for the surgery to be a success and a speedy and painless recovery.
But it can also be sent to the future or the past towards a particular situation. This is extremely helpful in many situations: When I need to attend a difficult meeting, I usually set up the Reiki energy the night before, so that it floods the room with positivity when I walk in. But it can also be sent back in time, which can be a powerful way to help heal past trauma.
Can I scientifically prove that Reiki Distant Healing works? No. Can I point to examples where I have sent and received Reiki energy over distance and over time? Yes. Quantum physics is beginning to show that we are all connected in space and time, and perhaps one day we can better understand this connection. In the meantime, I continue to use Reiki Distant Healing and am amazed at the results.
Many situations are improved by Reiki energy, which always works for the highest good and promotes harmony and clarity. It is effective anywhere, including at home and work, and can even help repair damaged relationships. Having said that, Reiki is an intelligent energy and will always give of itself for the highest good, so sometimes the results may not be what you expected! However, they will always be the best for all parties.
So does distance healing work? Yes it does, and it is a very effective alternative to manual treatments.
