Precaution – avoid sending distant healing when the other person is driving or operating machinery. If possible, establish a designated time for sending healing or set your intention that Reiki will be received at the appropriate time and for the highest good.
What is Distant/Absentee Healing?
- It is a method to send healing energy, through time and space via the astral plane (energy level directly above the physical plane, (some call this “Summerland”), which consists of spiritual entities, telepathic energetic thought, elementals, fairies, etc.) to:
Animal kingdom |
Plant kingdom |
Universe |
Mineral kingdom |
Sea life |
|
Other people |
Planet |
- It is a process using visualization while in the meditative state. Visualization uses your imagination, which involves using your intuition through your inner psychic senses of:
Feeling or sensing (Clairsentience) |
Smell (Clairalience) |
Just knowing (Claircognizance) |
Sound (Clairaudience) |
Inner sight (Clairvoyance) |
Taste (Clairambience) |
How to Prepare Yourself and Your Space
- Find a quiet comfortable room
- Make yourself feel relaxed and comfortable:
- light candles
- play soft music
- turn off phone
- Ground and protect yourself
- When finished your healing session, cleanse yourself (to disconnect your energy)
Ask Permission
- When working on the astral level, always ask for permission to heal
- You are bound by the Reiki healer’s code of ethics (see page 48) to respect the person’s wishes
- Through visualization you may receive an answer in any of the following ways:

How to Send Healing When You Do Not Receive Permission Step 1
- Send Reiki to the person’s spirit guides and ask for the healing energy to be sent when it’s appropriate
- Send Reiki to the earth or universe to be shared by all who need it at the appropriate time
Step 2
- Send the person healing light - allow it to transform into any colour it chooses - all colours are positive as long as they are bright and beautiful (black may be sent as long as the intent is positive)
