REIKI CONVERSATIONS: Reiki Tools for Peace, pt. 5 of 5
Healing and Manifesting Beyond Space and Time
Key Takeaways: The Gift of Distance Reiki
- Transcending Time and Space: Distance Reiki allows us to connect with people, animals, and events across any distance, inviting healing into the past, present, and future.
- Energetic Stability and Coherence: Using the Reiki Frequency Filter supports our ability to remain centered and stable even when the external world feels chaotic.
- Manifestation Through Connection: By "pinging the future" with distance Reiki techniques, we co-create our intentions and align our current frequency with our heart’s desires.
- Sustainable Practice: Learning to allow Holy Fire® World Peace Reiki to flow through us, rather than using our own life force, ensures we remain vital and clear. Use all Reiki energy you are guided and attuned to.
The light of Reiki is in front of us, behind us, above us, and below us. As we gather in our divinely ordered circle, we recognize that the energy we share does not adhere to the limitations of space and time. Whether you are joining us live on a Tuesday morning or listening to this months later, you are part of this sacred frequency. Distance Reiki is a living bridge that connects our hearts to the infinite, allowing us to offer support and healing whenever and wherever it is invited.
What is Distance Reiki?
Distance Reiki, traditionally known in Japanese as Enkaku Chiryo, is the practice of sending healing energy across space and time. It utilizes the Distance Symbol (HSZSN) to transcend physical proximity, allowing the life force energy of Reiki to reach individuals, animals, and situations regardless of their location or the timeframe in which they exist.
How do I prepare myself and my space for Distance Reiki?
Preparation is an invitation for the Reiki energy to engage with our field and the space around us. We begin by activating Reiki in a way that feels appropriate for the moment. This might involve drawing the symbols, thinking of them, or chanting their names. One effective method is Koki-ho, where we use our breath to send Reiki. By intending the symbols in the mouth and exhaling with focus, we activate the energy through our breath.
Similarly, Gyoshi-ho allows us to guide the energy through our eyes. Colleen’s husband, a construction professional for forty years, used this technique while inspecting buildings. To an observer, he was simply looking at the work, but he was actually placing Reiki symbols in the walls and floors with his eyes, ensuring the space remained energized long after he left. This illustrates that our intention, paired with a focused gaze or breath, is enough to initiate the flow of Distance Reiki.
We also choose to prepare our personal energy field to move into a state of coherence. When we invite the high frequency of Reiki into our bodies and the air around us, we create a physical existence of that light. This process creates a Reiki Frequency Filter. [Didi, Link to Blog about Reiki Frequency Filter in 3.17.26] This filter acts as a regulator, allowing us to stay stable even if the world around us is at a different frequency or in a state of unrest.
In what ways can Distance Reiki heal my past and empower my future?
The Distance Symbol is a tool for navigating the layers of our lives that exist beyond the present moment. Because Reiki is conscious and intelligent, it can move into our ancestral patterns and histories to offer healing where it is most needed. In 2020, during the pandemic, many practitioners used Distance Reiki to call to their ancestors for advice and wisdom, healing the lineage while seeking guidance for the future.
We can also send Reiki to our younger selves. Many people find that spiritual or physical injuries from childhood begin to shift when they offer Distance Reiki to those past moments. It is common for practitioners to realize that a moment of inexplicable peace they felt years ago was actually the result of the Distance Reiki they are sending to themselves from the present.
For manifestation, we use Reiki techniques to "ping the future." Robyn highlights how we can take a vision of where we are headed, whether a new career, a home, or a state of health, and send Reiki to that timeline. This co-creates an energy stream that helps us move toward our goals with clarity. We can send Reiki to a class we are about to teach, a meeting, or even just to the day ahead. This invites the energy to orchestrate a divinely ordered experience, ensuring that every interaction is held in a container of peace.
What techniques support sending Reiki without a physical surrogate?
While a surrogate, such as a stuffed animal or a photo, is a wonderful tool for focusing our attention, it is not an absolute requirement. In animal Reiki, surrogates are often used because the logistics of working with animals often require distance. However, there are many right ways to practice. You might simply place your hands in your lap with your palms facing upward and hold the person or animal in your heart.
If you choose to use a photo, you can even do this through your phone. Placing your hands over a picture on a screen allows the energy to flow to the subject of that image. The key is the activation of the Distance Symbol. You can draw it over the surrogate, think its name, or even use the breath to activate and send Reiki.
When the session is complete, it is helpful to use the Power Symbol to seal the energy. You might draw it vertically over the surrogate or mentally intend that the session is now sealed in love and light. This practice helps both the practitioner and the recipient recognize the completion of the energetic exchange, allowing the results to flourish in their own time.
How do I maintain my energy and empathy while sending Distance Reiki?
A common question among practitioners is how to avoid feeling depleted after a session. If you notice you are tired or "sticky" after sending Distance Reiki, you may be using your own life force energy to try and "fix" the situation. Reiki is an infinite source, and it does not require our personal effort and life force energy to be effective.
We invite the Reiki energy to flow through our crown chakra and out through our hands or eyes. This ensures that the energy doing the work is the divine life force, not our personal battery. When we let Reiki do the work, we can remain compassionate without absorbing the suffering of others. We become observers rather than absorbers.
This also applies to our empathy. By allowing Reiki to be the primary life force energy, we can see clearly what belongs to the client and what belongs to us. If you feel yourself being pulled into the client’s story, stop and reactivate the Reiki frequency filter. Ask the energy to flow more strongly through you, reminding yourself that you are a channel for a higher intelligence that knows exactly what the recipient needs.
Spiritual Insight: The Power of the Egregor
When we collectively empower our intention for peace through Distance Reiki, we connect with every other person praying or working for peace across the globe. This creates what is known as an egregor, or a powerful collective thought form. By sending Reiki to world events, we aren't just wishing for change; we are contributing to a massive stream of high-frequency intention. Even if you feel like your individual contribution is small, remember that your light joins an international field of coherence that supports the evolution of the Earth.
Guided Experience: Activating Your Distance Field
You can use this practice to prepare for a Distance Reiki Share or for your personal daily stability.
- Gassho: Place your hands together at your heart with your fingertips touching. Close your eyes and take several deep breaths.
- Activate the Field: Perceive the light of Reiki in front of you, behind you, above you, and below you. Notice it filling the room and your breath.
- Invite the Symbols: Mentally draw or say the names of the symbols. Notice how the Mental-Emotional Symbol aligns your mind and the Distance Symbol opens the bridge of light.
- Connect with Guides: Invite your spiritual teams, the Divine Animal Kingdom, and the enlightened ones of your heart to be present.
- Set the Intention: Think of the person, animal, or situation you wish to support. Visualize the Distance Symbol acting as a bridge between your heart and theirs.
- Allow the Flow: Place your hands comfortably on your body or in your lap and let the energy flow. Simply observe the sensations without trying to direct the outcome.
- Seal and Thank: When you feel complete, use the Power Symbol to seal the session. Offer gratitude to the energy and your guides.
Reiki Training
The journey of learning Reiki moves from the foundational skills in Reiki I & II to the deep transformations of the Reiki Master level and Karuna Reiki®. These Reiki classes are designed for our personal coherence and professional longevity. As we advance, we learn that Placements and Ignitions (Reiki attunements) help our systems entrain to these higher frequencies, making Distance Reiki a natural and effortless part of our spiritual life.
FAQ: People Also Ask
Do I always need permission to send Distance Reiki? Reiki is a conscious energy that will not impose itself on someone's free will. While we always prefer to have verbal permission, if it is unavailable, we can ask the person’s higher self or use the Distance Symbol to inquire telepathically. If someone explicitly says no, we honor that choice and respect their sovereignty.
Can I send Distance Reiki to past lives? Yes. Since the Distance Symbol moves outside of linear time, you can intend for the energy to flow to ancestral histories or previous incarnations. This supports the healing of long-standing patterns that may be affecting your current life experience.
What is the difference between sending Reiki and praying? Reiki is a specific frequency of life force energy that we invite to flow through us. While it can be combined with prayer, the Reiki techniques provide a physical and energetic structure, through symbols and hand positions, to facilitate the flow of this divine intelligence.
How long should a Distance Reiki session last? A session can be as brief as a few minutes "on the fly" or as long as a full hour with a surrogate. The results are determined by the invitation of the energy rather than the length of time spent.
