Distance Reiki works through the understanding that energy is not limited by time or space. In other words, Reiki—the universal life force energy that flows through all living things—can be intentionally directed to someone regardless of their physical location.

Here’s how it works in practice:

1. Energetic Connection Through Intention
   Reiki practitioners are trained to connect energetically with others using intention, visualization, and specific symbols. This symbol acts as a bridge, allowing the practitioner to send healing energy across space.

2. Focused Awareness
   The practitioner may use the recipient’s name, photo, or even just a clear mental image to establish a connection. This focus acts like tuning into a frequency, allowing the practitioner to align with the energy of the person receiving the session.

3. Energy Transmission
   Once connected, the practitioner channels Reiki energy to the recipient. This process works on the same energetic principles as in-person Reiki—energy flows where it's needed most, supporting the recipient’s physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual healing.

4. Recipient's Experience
   During or after a Distance Reiki session, people often report sensations like warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, emotional release, or even a sense of being held or supported. These are signs that the energy is reaching and working with them, just as it would in a hands-on session.

5. Beyond the Physical
   Reiki does not rely on physical contact because it works on the energetic level. Just as thoughts or emotions can travel without physical contact, so too can Reiki energy. It’s not bound by the material world—it works where intention, focus, and connection are present.
