What Is Distance Reiki?
Distance Reiki is the art of consciously transmitting healing life-force energy across any spatial distance. It connects people, hearts, and souls beyond place, time, and language. The foundation remains the universal Reiki principle: that all life is nourished by a subtle, intelligent energy that promotes harmony, balance, and health.
Unlike hands-on Reiki, where the practitioner places their hands directly on or above the body, distance Reiki does not require physical proximity. The practitioner connects with the recipient – usually with the support of specific symbols, intention, and inner focus. Through this connection the energy flows precisely where it is needed: into the recipient’s field, to a life theme, into a challenging situation, or to a particular moment in time.
Many recipients share that distance Reiki feels just as powerful – sometimes even more profound – than in-person sessions. Common sensations include a feeling of safety, inner warmth, pleasant tingling, the release of old burdens, or a sudden sense of expansion. The soul can feel touched as well – insight may arise, healing dreams appear, or a new perspective on life unfolds.
Distance Reiki is appreciated wherever meeting in person is not possible: while travelling, during illness, amidst everyday stress, for loved ones in other places, or throughout special phases of life. It is also ideal for people who simply prefer to relax in their own space while receiving Reiki. The time of the transmission is often arranged together so you can open up in a protected atmosphere and simply be – held in the knowing that someone is present for you with mindfulness and care.
Distance Reiki reminds us that connection has no boundaries. Energy follows conscious attention and the wish to heal – it bridges kilometres as easily as it softens doubt, uncertainty, or the tightness of daily life. What remains is the quiet wonder of an experience that touches deeply and enriches your personal journey.

The Distance Reiki Session – Step by Step
1. Contact & Intention
You discuss your focus, agree on the time, and share what matters to you. Together you set the intention for the transmission.
2. Create sacred space
Choose a quiet place, lie down or sit comfortably. Gentle music, a blanket, or candlelight can support the atmosphere.
3. The transmission
The Reiki practitioner connects with you using symbols, breath, and meditation. Energy flows through awareness, love, and intention – directly to you.
4. Integrate
After the session stay lying down for a few moments, drink water, and notice what arises. Many people feel lighter, calmer, or inwardly strengthened.
5. Share & reflect
If you wish, exchange experiences – by phone, message, or at your next conversation. This helps you integrate what you received.
Tips for Your Distance Reiki Session
Prepare with care
Schedule enough time, silence your phone, and set up a cosy space. This allows the energy to flow freely.
Trust the process
Reiki often works subtly. Release expectations and allow yourself to receive – even if you notice only little at first.
Record your impressions
Keeping a journal helps you capture changes, dreams, or insights and accompany the process consciously.
Hydrate well
Water supports the flow of energy. Drink before and after the session to ground and clear yourself.
Be patient
Effects can unfold gradually – in your mood, sleep, decisions, or new impulses.
Communicate openly
Share with your practitioner how you feel, what you need, or if topics arise. Together you will find the most supportive approach.
Erfahrungen mit Fernreiki
“I was very sceptical that Reiki could work across distance. Yet in my very first remote session I felt a gentle stream of warmth moving through my body. It was as if someone softly touched my shoulders and lifted the tension away. I now feel more open to new possibilities and realised that trust is often the first step toward healing.”
“During my chemotherapy I was unable to receive visitors. The regular distance Reiki transmissions gave me strength. In the days after each session I felt calmer, slept better, and was less afraid. Reiki became a quiet source of hope and comfort.”
“Our daughter had recurring nightmares and unrest. A Reiki practitioner offered us distance Reiki. After only a few sessions she became more balanced and finally slept through the night. Even we as parents noticed how the energy calmed our entire family. Distance Reiki is now part of our little daily rituals.”
“I regularly use distance Reiki to support my meditations. Especially during times of reorientation the sessions help me sense my inner compass and release outdated beliefs. Afterwards I feel lighter, clearer, and full of joy – as if someone opened a window to my soul.”
“Before my final exams I was extremely nervous. A friend recommended distance Reiki. The session brought incredible inner peace. I could focus better, had less fear, and felt supported during the exams. Since then I book distance Reiki whenever life feels challenging.”
“For years I struggled with chronic back pain. After several distance Reiki sessions spread over a few weeks I felt my whole body relax. The pain did not disappear completely, but it became easier to handle and I sleep better. Distance Reiki has become a valuable companion to my treatment.”
“During lockdown I felt desperate because I could no longer visit my long-term Reiki master. The loneliness, worries about my family, and constant restlessness almost overwhelmed me. She then offered distance Reiki. I was unsure at first, but after the first session I sensed unexpected comfort. It was as if light flowed into my heart even though nobody was in the room. Distance Reiki gifted me hope, strength, and calm in that time. I am endlessly grateful.”
“I have lived abroad for several years and often miss my family in Switzerland. My mother regularly sends me distance Reiki – sometimes on important days, sometimes just because. Each time I feel a quiet connection, as if invisible threads link us through space and time. Especially when homesickness hits or I feel lost, distance Reiki gives me comfort and the sense that I am not alone.”
“I had tried many approaches to find peace with my inner restlessness. Only through a series of distance Reiki sessions was I able to release what had burdened me for years. The energy touched something I could never have described with words – a sense of forgiveness, peace, and rebirth. Every session moves me deeply: so much love finds its way to me in the silence.”
