Distance Reiki, my way of working with energy

Reiki is an energy practice that began in Japan in the 1920s. Its starting idea fits in one sentence: a life energy is said to flow through you, and when it stagnates, that’s thought to explain what drags on: the tiredness that won’t lift, the tension that keeps returning to the same spot, the emotions that stay stuck.

The practitioner’s role is to get that flow moving again where it feels blocked. In concrete terms: no massage, no manipulation, no products. You receive, that’s all.

There are dozens of branches of Reiki today. Almost all of them trace back to the same root, Usui Reiki, even the ones built much later and in their own way.

All my sessions are remote, and that isn’t a workaround: distance sessions are part of Usui training, where I learned them. You don’t travel and you don’t lose half a day. You settle in at home and receive.

One last point, and it matters. Reiki is a wellbeing practice and is not a substitute for medical or psychological care. It doesn’t diagnose anything, replace any treatment, or interfere with any ongoing care. If you have a health concern, keep seeing your doctor.

We always start by talking. I try to understand what you’re bringing. Only after that do I see what fits best, and that comes from the sessions I’ve already done. Over time, you learn what responds to what.

Two of my three practices are there without my having to call on them. Usui flows by default: it’s the foundation. Kundalini comes in on its own, as part of my technique, without my really calling on it.

Arcturian is the one I choose deliberately. It goes deep on specific situations, so I save it for when there’s one to work on.

My own technique draws on the same kind of energy as the others: energies of love and light. What differs is what comes out of the channeling. A lot of movement, messages coming through. And I add things of my own, small rituals. It’s not “I show up and, presto.”

During the session, most people settle into a calm state close to a nap. Many lose track of time. Some feel movement or warmth. It really varies from one person to the next.

What comes up most often afterward: calm, a sense of ease, a feeling of lightness.

Over several sessions, the work goes deeper. It’s like the gym: going once already does your body some good, but it’s by going back that you feel the difference.

Some people stay in their head and walk away feeling they sensed nothing. It happens, and often they notice the benefit afterward. I’m not turning that into a rule, and none of this is a promise: it’s simply what I’ve observed so far.
