How Distance Healing Works

Many spiritual traditions and indigenous cultures believe in the "oneness" or interconnectedness of all things and the ability of one person to affect another through thoughts (prayers) or energy. Our thoughts are electric activities of the brain. Healing can be done in person or at a distance with the same benefits.  Distance healing has a variety of modalities. Perhaps the best known is Reiki. Its healing energy connects us on an energetic and spiritual level where the healing work is conducted. To understand this, we must first realize that we are more than our physical bodies. We are now aware that the electromagnetic field of our body, especially that of our heart, extends far beyond our body's limits. Talking to someone on a cell phone in another country doesn’t look like magic. Only now, with advances in quantum physics, have we begun to understand the phenomenon of distant healing. Understand the physics and practical applications of this subtle energy. Or, as physicists Elizabeth A. Rauscher and Russell Targ say, "... (distant healing) phenomena are not a result of an energetic transmission, but rather they are an interaction of our awareness with a non-local hyper-dimensional space-time in which we live."     

What happens during a distance session?

We all receive energy frequencies that we cannot see, such as electricity, radios, cell phones, and wi-fi. Initially, these frequencies were thought to be too unbelievable to be true, but now they are accepted as routine functioning services. For them to work, they have to be tuned in, and Distant Reiki works the same way. The practitioner puts himself into a type of meditative state. In this state, his consciousness and spirituality rise above his ego. Only then can his consciousness connect with the universal consciousness. This connection with the Universe, a feeling of Oneness, allows the practitioner to move into a non-local stage. A stage where we are all interconnected. We call this phase non-local because, in distant healing, the healing effects are not bound to space. This means that the results do not diminish with distance, so it does not matter how far apart the healer and the recipient are. In this plane, I connect with the recipient and initiate distance healing. Different practitioners, depending on modality, technique, and approach, could conduct a distance session differently. I prefer to be on speakerphone with my client throughout the session. To provide guidance, clear expectations, and answer questions. Then there is silence during the session. We continue the conversation after the session for evaluation and closure. Allowing the Reiki recipient to share their experiences, like seeing colors, feeling energy pull in some area, or any other sensations. This will enable me to understand deeper what was going on in my client's body, be more effective. During the session, I focus on the recipient's energy centers and their aura. Depending on the intentions and skills of the practitioner, the positive effects can be far-reaching, ranging from the healing of emotional issues to measurable physiological changes. The majority of my clients are people who suffer from chronic pain, cancer patients, terminally ill, or recipients of palliative care.

How long does it take to work?

That depends on the person and situation. Some people will say they feel immediate relief. Other people say it happens over a few days. Keep in mind it takes time to develop an illness, and it will also take time, possibly multiple sessions, to heal.

How to offer a distance session

Many teachers recommend using a picture or a proxy (teddy bear, a cloth with a human outline, or your own thigh). It is a good approach in the beginning when we lack experience and confidence. Over time, with more practice and experience, the need for these proxies disappears. In the world of nonduality, we don’t need intermediates. In the beginning, to make a call, we used a landline, but now we can use wi-fi. With this direct connection, we can see or feel another person's energy field, allowing us to better assist in the healing process.

Conclusion

The energy medicine I practice does not manipulate your energy field or redirect energy flow. Instead, it focuses on your self-healing abilities to restore optimal health, helping your body become balanced and whole. It is a team effort. There are two equal partners in the healing process: the practitioner and the recipient. The recipient needs to be motivated, have the desire to be healed, and be receptive. They need to accept this healing energy willingly.  

The effects of distance healing had been studied and measured hundreds of times over the last 30-40 years. Many of them are described in the book "Distance Healing" by Daniel J. Benor, MD. Plenty of helpful information on sites like https://www.chi.is or https://noetic.org
