Distant Reiki?
Distance reiki is used to cross any distance in time or space. It allows practitioners to clear blockages from someone's past, as well as perform reiki on someone who is not physically present. Reiki is just as effective in a remote session as in person. An appointment is made in advance. At the time of the session the recipient will find a place to recline and relax while the practitioner conducts a session. Gift distance sessions can be purchased for loved ones only with their permission. Regardless of distance reiki can have benefits such as increasing feelings of relaxation, happiness, empowerment, and ease.
