Curious About Distance Healing?

Many people are intrigued by distance healing but also sceptical. How can something intangible like energy have an effect on our health—especially when we’re not even in the same room as the practitioner? Let’s explore what distance healing is, how it works, and why it might be worth trying for yourself.

What is Distance Healing?

Energy healing is based on the understanding that the body is surrounded by a field of energy—sometimes called subtle energy, life force, qi (in Traditional Chinese Medicine), or prana (in Ayurveda). When this energy becomes blocked or imbalanced, it can affect our physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing.

Distance healing is a way of working with this energy remotely. Instead of hands-on healing, the practitioner uses focused intention to connect with the recipient’s energy field, sending Reiki or healing vibrations across space and time.

It might sound mysterious, but we already trust in many unseen forces. Think of Wi-Fi, radio waves, or phone signals—although invisible, they transmit information and connect us instantly across the world. Distance Reiki works in a similar way, using focused thought and intention to direct energy where it’s needed.

Another example is when you think of someone, and suddenly they call you, or you bump into them the next day. Thought itself carries energy—and when directed with clarity and intention, it can be a powerful tool for healing.

 
Does Distance Healing Work?

You might wonder if this is simply belief, but research suggests otherwise. A 2015 systematic review published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine looked at 24 studies on various forms of distant healing. The findings showed that distance healing had statistically significant positive effects on health outcomes, ranging from reduced pain and anxiety to improvements in overall well-being. While more rigorous research is still needed, these results suggest that something measurable is happening beyond placebo effects.

What this shows is that healing energy, intention, and connection seem to transcend physical space.

The Science Behind Energy Healing

At its core, modern physics tells us that everything in the universe—including our bodies—is made up of energy, constantly vibrating at different rates. Matter and energy are just different expressions of the same fundamental substance. Different forms of energy like sound, light, or radio wave are each defined by its specific frequency.

The human body and its surrounding energy field function in a similar way. Each person has a unique energetic signature, much like a fingerprint or DNA, which reflects their physical, emotional, and mental state. Because we are electromagnetic beings, our energy can interact with and respond to other energies, even across distances.

Dr Valerie Hunt, a neurophysiologist and author of Infinite Mind: The Science of Human Vibrations, explored this phenomenon in groundbreaking research which studied the electrical output of people's bodies. Using an electromyograph, she measured electrical activity at the body’s high-energy centres, known as chakras. Most people fell within a “normal” range of around 250 cycles per second (cps). However, individuals who regularly practised healing techniques, such as Reiki, or those with strong intuitive abilities, often registered much higher frequencies—between 400 and 800 cps. Hunt’s findings suggest that Reiki energy can help healers access and transmit higher vibrational states. 

Hunt also demonstrated that healthy energy fields exhibit complex, information-rich patterns. She contrasted these with more regimented or monotonic patterns, which may indicate illness or emotional imbalance and found that the human energy field may respond to external stimuli before the body is aware of it and may show illness before it appears in the body. 

For Hunt, thoughts are also an organised field of energy, composed of complex patterns of vibrations, when the emotional energy accompanying this is strong it stimulates other fields to action (both dense worlds of matter and human bodies). Thoughts, when amplified with intent or emotion, can have an effect on matter. Will directs energy.

Why It Matters for Distance Healing

• Frequency Resonation: If each person has an energetic signature—an electromagnetic pattern or vibration—then healing energy likely works by modulating, uplifting, or harmonising that signature.

• Signal Matching Across Space: Just like a radio tuning into a distant station or Wi-Fi connecting across rooms, the energy field can "tune in" to an attuned healer's output—even if you're miles apart.

• Restoring Coherence Through Intention: Hunt’s findings support the idea that healing may re-establish coherence in a recipient’s field—guiding it back toward complexity, flow, and wholeness.

People's energy fields are capable of both sending and receiving subtle signals. Everything in the universe has a unique vibrational “signature”, and by tuning our thoughts and intentions to a specific frequency—whether a person, place, or situation—we create a resonance that allows connection.

What Can Distance Healing Help With? 

Distance Reiki can be directed towards: 

• Individuals, groups, animals, plants, even environments or global situations

• Past events that carry healing energy

• Future occasions—such as preparing for a job interview—helping to calm nerves, nurture confidence, and shift your inner state

While it doesn’t alter specific outcomes or events, it can deeply influence how you feel about them—soothing grief or easing stress with gentle energetic support.

What to Expect in a Session

A typical distance healing session lasts between 30–60 minutes. You’ll be invited to find a quiet, comfortable space where you can relax without interruption. During the session, you may notice sensations such as warmth, tingling, or deep calm. Afterwards, many people report feeling lighter, clearer, or more balanced.

I provide a short consultation beforehand so that the session can be tailored to your needs. After the session, I send feedback and insights, helping you integrate the experience.

 
Is It Safe?

Yes. Distance healing is gentle, non-invasive, and completely complementary to any medical or holistic treatments. It does not replace professional care but can provide valuable support to your well-being.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

Every person is unique. Some sense transformation after one session, while others benefit most from a series. It’s about what your body, mind, and energy field need.

 
The Best Way to Understand It

Ultimately, the true magic of distance healing is best experienced rather than explained. Like trusting a Wi-Fi signal to stream your favourite music, once you’ve felt the calming and restorative effects for yourself, the unseen becomes undeniable.
