What Is a Distance Reiki Session
A distance Reiki session is a session in which the Reiki Master and the person receiving the session are located in different places. This may be another room, another city, or even another country. In Reiki practice, energy is considered not limited by time or space, which is why distance sessions are often regarded as just as effective as in-person sessions. The same principle is also applied to remote Reiki attunements.
How to Receive a Distance Reiki Session
Beginners often ask questions such as: “Will there be a recording?” or “Where is the link to the session?” To clarify how this works, here is a simple explanation.
During a distance session, the Reiki Master sends the energy through intention and connection with the Reiki energy flow. At that moment, the Master and the receiver may be anywhere physically.
Usually, a specific time for the session is agreed upon in advance. At the scheduled time, both the Master and the person receiving the session sit or lie down in a relaxed, meditative position, keeping their arms and legs uncrossed (a meditation posture such as the lotus position may also be used if comfortable).
Your main task is simple: express the intention to receive the session, relax, and observe the sensations in your body. In about 90% of cases, people feel the energy in some way. If your sensitivity is low, you may not notice clear sensations, but this does not mean the session did not work.
If you expressed your intention and stayed in a relaxed or meditative state for about 20–25 minutes (the average length of a Reiki session), the session is considered received—even if you did not feel anything at the time. Sensitivity often develops gradually through practice. The more you work with Reiki, the easier it becomes to notice the energy.
Some people may not strongly feel the energy but instead see images or inner visions. Others may receive insights, memories, or ideas related to situations in their life. This is natural. Reiki energy is often described as intelligent and works with each person individually. It is important not to expect the same sensations others describe, as every person has a unique energy system and different levels of sensitivity.
Because of this, the answer to the common question “Will there be a live session or recording?” is both simple and unusual for the logical mind: there is no live broadcast or recording. The session is transmitted beyond physical distance, so there is no need for a call or online meeting.
Simply follow the steps described above to receive the session and observe your experience.
How to Receive a “Reiki Session on Request”
A session sent by a Reiki Master can be received either at the exact moment it is transmitted or at another convenient time. This type of session is often called a “session on request.”
To receive it, follow the same steps as for a regular session: express your intention, sit or lie down comfortably, relax, and allow yourself to receive the energy.
A session on request may be time-limited or open-ended. If it has a time limit (for example, within 48 hours), it should be received within that period; afterward it may no longer be active. If there is no time limit, you may receive it whenever it still feels relevant for you.
The same principle is often applied to distance Reiki attunements (initiations) as well.
Intentions for a Distance Reiki Session
An intention can be expressed in different words. The most important part is the essence—clearly expressing your sincere intention to receive the session.
An example of a simple intention is:
“Here and now I express my true intention to receive a session with the energy of (name of the energy), sent by the Higher Self of the Master (name of the Master), for my highest good.”
After expressing the intention, allow yourself to relax and simply observe the sensations in your body as the energy flows.
When the session is complete, gently ground yourself and release the energetic connection in any way that feels comfortable to you.
If you would like to receive a session with a specific energy (or an attunement/initiation into it), you can choose the energy and contact us to arrange it.
