FAQs

What is Remote Reiki?

Remote Reiki, also known as distance Reiki, is a Japanese healing technique that can be sent across any distance without physical presence. The word "Reiki" comes from two Japanese words: "rei" (universal) and "ki" (life energy). Remote Reiki works on the principle that healing energy transcends physical boundaries and can be channelled to support your body's natural healing processes and restore physical and emotional well-being, regardless of where you are in the world.

How does Remote Reiki work?

During a remote session, I connect with your energy field from my location while you relax in your own space. Using sacred Reiki symbols and intention and an agreed connection method, I channel healing energy directly to you at our scheduled time. Energy isn't bound by physical distance - it flows where it's needed most. Many clients report feeling warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or other sensations during remote sessions, just as they would during in-person treatments.

What can I expect during a Remote Reiki session?

You'll relax in the comfort of your own home during our scheduled appointment time. I recommend lying down on your bed or a comfortable surface, wearing loose clothing, and creating a peaceful environment. The session typically lasts 45 minutes. During this time, I'll be sending healing energy to you from my space. You may feel sensations like warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation. Many people enter a meditative state or fall asleep.

Is Remote Reiki as effective as in-person sessions?

Yes, Remote Reiki is equally effective as in-person treatments. Energy healing operates beyond physical limitations - it works on levels where distance doesn't matter as it is about flow and connection. Many clients are surprised to discover they experience the same or even stronger sensations during remote sessions. The healing energy reaches you wherever you are, making it just as powerful as hands-on treatment.

What conditions can Remote Reiki help with?

Remote Reiki is commonly used to help with:

• Stress and anxiety

• Chronic pain and physical discomfort

• Insomnia and sleep disorders

• Depression and emotional imbalances

• Recovery from illness or surgery

• Grief and trauma processing

• Fatigue and low energy

• Relationship difficulties

• Life transitions and changes

• General wellness and spiritual growth

While Remote Reiki is a complementary therapy that supports overall well-being, it's not a substitute for conventional medical treatment.

Do I need to believe in Remote Reiki for it to work?

No, Remote Reiki doesn't require any specific beliefs to be effective. It works regardless of your religious or spiritual background. While an open mind can enhance your experience, skepticism won't prevent you from receiving benefits. The healing energy flows naturally to where it's needed, independent of your belief system.

How do I prepare for a Remote Reiki session?

• Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won't be disturbed

• Wear loose, comfortable clothing

• Turn off your phone and electronic devices once we have both confirmed our attendance to the session

• Lie down on your bed or a comfortable surface

• Have water nearby to stay hydrated

• Set an intention for your healing if you wish

• Avoid heavy meals 2-3 hours before the session

• Let household members know you'll be unavailable during the session time

What will I experience during the session?

Remote Reiki experiences vary from person to person, but common sensations include:

• Deep relaxation and peace

• Warmth or coolness in different areas of the body

• Tingling or gentle vibrations

• Seeing colours or light behind closed eyes

• Emotional releases or insights

• Feeling like you're floating or sinking

• Falling asleep or entering a meditative state

• Vivid dreams or visions

Some people feel very little during the session but notice significant changes in the hours or days following.

How will I feel after a Remote Reiki session?

Most people report feeling:

• Deeply relaxed and centred

• More emotionally balanced

• Increased energy and vitality

• Better sleep quality

• Reduced stress and anxiety

• Greater mental clarity

• A sense of renewal and peace

• Relief from physical discomfort

Some people may feel slightly tired initially as the body processes the healing energy, but this typically passes within a few hours.

How do we schedule and conduct the session?

We'll schedule your session for a specific time that works for both of us. I'll send you preparation instructions and ask for your full name, location, and a recent photo or agreed connection method (which helps me connect with your energy). At the appointed time, you'll relax in your space while I work from mine. After the session, I'll contact you to share any insights or messages that came through during the healing.

How many sessions will I need?

This depends on your individual needs and goals. Some people experience significant shifts after one session, while others benefit from a series of treatments. For chronic conditions, emotional healing, or life transitions, I often recommend 3-6 sessions spaced 1-2 weeks apart. We can discuss a treatment plan that aligns with your specific situation and goals.

What information do you need from me?

For the most effective Remote Reiki session, I'll need:

• Your full name

• Your current location (city/country)

• A recent photo (helps me connect with your energy)

• Any specific areas of focus or intention for healing

• Any relevant health information you're comfortable sharing

• Your preferred session time

All information is kept strictly confidential.

Can Remote Reiki be combined with other treatments?

Absolutely. Remote Reiki complements other healing modalities beautifully, including:

• Medical treatments and medications

• Therapy and counselling

• Massage and bodywork

• Acupuncture and holistic treatments

• Meditation and spiritual practices

• Other energy healing modalities

Always inform all your healthcare providers about any complementary treatments you're receiving.

What training and experience do you have?

What happens if I fall asleep during the session?

Falling asleep during Remote Reiki is completely normal and doesn't diminish the effectiveness of the healing. In fact, the relaxed state of sleep often allows the energy to work more deeply. Many clients report having particularly restful sleep during and after their sessions. The healing energy continues to flow regardless of your consciousness level.

Can Remote Reiki help with emergency situations?

While Remote Reiki can provide comfort and support during challenging times, it should never replace emergency medical care. If you're experiencing a medical emergency, please contact emergency services immediately. Remote Reiki can be a wonderful complement to medical treatment during recovery.

How do I know the session is working?

You might notice changes during the session, immediately after, or in the days following. Some people feel dramatic shifts, while others experience subtle improvements in their overall well-being. Trust your own experience and be patient with the healing process. Sometimes the most profound changes happen gradually over time.
