Some Reiki Masters claim to be able to focus Reiki energy from distant locations.  A few claim to be able to do this from other cities, other states, and even other countries.  It is relatively rare when a Master can truly attain this level of focus, but all Reiki Masters can focus Reiki energy from across a room.

Sometimes there are reasons why the Master can’t perform the hand positions on a recipient.  This may be due to contagious illnesses, being separated physically (as in jailed or restrained individuals), or because the recipient is not receptive to being touched by the Master.  For example, autistic individuals may not be able to deal with being in such close proximity with the Master, and pets may not be able to be near people if they are aggressive.

There are two main techniques that are used to send Reiki energy across distances.  The eyes and the breath can be used to direct the energy from the hands to another location.  This can be accomplished with nearby individuals, but some Reiki Masters can project the energy over great distances using these techniques.

Gyosi Ho is the method of healing by using the eyes.  First, you should stare gently at the individual you wish to connect with.  If you can’t do this in person, you can gaze at a full body photograph of the individual.  The photograph should ideally be full body so that you can do the next part of the treatment.

Next, you should move your gaze to the part of the body where you would normally place your hands for treatment.  Allow the Reiki energy to flow from your eyes by visualizing the appropriate symbols and imagining the symbols slowing out to the recipient.

Once you have finished staring intently at the area receiving treatment, you should return your eyes to a gentle stare before moving on to stare intently at the next area to receive treatment.

Koki Ho is the practice of healing with the breath.  First, you should meditate in order to prepare your body to channel the energy.  Breathe in and bring your breath into your hara, your belly.

Now imagine the symbol you wish to use.  You may wish to use your tongue to draw it on the roof of your mouth.  As you slowly exhale, blow the symbol out toward the part of the body that is to receive treatment.  Imagine the symbol containing the Reiki energy being blown directly into the recipient’s body at the point your hands would normally be.  Continue this until all parts of the body that were in need of healing have been treated.

Reiki is an interesting method of alternative healing, whose popularity has grown steadily in the last century.  Reiki therapy focuses on achieving a positive flow of energy (Ki) around and through the body, thus improving the patient’s health and wellbeing.

In a typical Reiki treatment, the patient will lie down and relax as the Reiki practitioner lays his or her hands on or slightly above the patient and passes healing energy to the patient.  Reiki is becoming more common and this guide is designed to help you find a Reiki practitioner and get the most out of your experience.

How to find a good Reiki healer:

  1. The Yellow Pages: Reiki will most likely be found under Alternative Medicine category.
  2. Online resources: Head to Yell.com and do a search for Reiki in your area.  Or try DMOZ.org or the Yahoo Directory.
  3. Find a specialized directory related to alternative medicine, such as ZenLocate.com.
  4. Talk to friends and coworkers: Ask around; a personal recommendation from someone you know and trust is an excellent way to get started.
  5. Do a web search: If you’re not sure where to start, or looking for more information, head on over to Google or Big and try searching for something in your area (e.g. “Reiki Practioner in New York”).

Once you’ve located a Reiki specialist, the next step is to talk to him or her and find out exactly how they can help you.  Just as you would with any other doctor, it’s a good idea to ask some questions before beginning treatment.  We suggest you start with some basic questions:

  1. How long have you been practicing Reiki?
  2. Do you practice full or part time?
  3. Where and with whom did you study?
  4. At what level are you certified?
  5. How long will the session last, and will I need to come back for further sessions?
  6. I know there are different styles of Reiki practiced. What method do you use and how does it work?
  7. How much will it cost?

Once they’ve answered these questions to your satisfaction, you’re ready to choose the Reiki practitioner who most closely meets your requirements.
