My Remote Reiki Session

 

How I Run My Remote Reiki Sessions

One of the questions I hear most often about distance Reiki is, “But… how does that even work?” If you’ve never experienced Reiki in person, it can sound a little mysterious. I get it. Saying, “Oh, it’s just like in-person” doesn’t really explain much if you’ve never had either. So, let me walk you through exactly what I do during a remote session.

Now, different practitioners may have their own style, but the heart of it is the same—we’re connecting with you energetically, no matter where you are.

Before your scheduled appointment time, I’ll ask you to get nice and comfortable. That might mean sitting with your feet flat on the floor or lying down in a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted. I’ll invite you to set an intention to receive healing, take a few deep, cleansing breaths, and close your eyes. I always recommend keeping a glass of water nearby—it helps your body process the energy during and after the session.

A few minutes before we begin, I prepare my own space so it’s peaceful and focused. I’ll put on some soft music, light a candle or two, and maybe some gentle incense. Then I bring out my “surrogate”—a small, well-loved teddy bear I use to represent you during the session. (Yes, it’s adorable, but it works beautifully as a stand-in for your energy.)

When it’s time to start, I focus on you—your name, your location, and the intention for your healing. I draw the Reiki symbols on my hands and over the surrogate, and then I begin. My hands hover just above the surrogate as I channel the Reiki energy into it as if you were right here in front of me.

I move through twelve hand positions, holding each for a few minutes before moving to the next. These positions cover the main energy centers of the body, and the entire process takes about an hour. During that time, you might feel warmth, tingling, a deep sense of calm, or even gentle emotional releases. Some people drift into a peaceful nap, while others stay fully aware.

Once the session is complete, I’ll reach out via FB Messenger or text to check in—how you’re feeling, anything you noticed, and any impressions I had during the work. Every experience is unique, but the goal is always the same: to leave you feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced, no matter where you are in the world.

✨ If you’re feeling called to deepen your healing journey, I’d love to work with you. You can book a Chakra or Reiki session with me through my Facebook or Instagram pages, The Healing Witch—you’ll find both linked right on my Linktree. That’s also where I’ve gathered the magical tools and products I personally use to bring more harmony, healing, and enchantment into everyday life. 🌙💫
