I had a request for a remote session recently. Remote sessions are special since the recipient is not present. They must be highly intentional on both ends for the practitioner and the recipient because we both must be open to giving and receiving the reiki energy respectively. Pure and open hearts are always necessary. In fact my first session was remote and was the reason I got into Reiki.
If the individual is not present, you can use a variety of surrogates to take their place like a teddy bear, a picture, a pillow, or just hold an image of them as if they’re in front of you. Whatever I use, I always call their name out 3 times to “connect” the surrogate with that person. Not in a psychic way but just to associate the object as the recipient’s stand-in.
Often using crystals may help as well and promote additional healing. I tend to use the selenite wand a lot at the end of sessions for clearing. I may use chakra stones as well. I always go with my intuition to feel what’s needed based on what my client’s needs are. Here I used a carnelian, tigers eye, shungite, and green aventurine to promote self-confidence, personal power, emotional well-being, and harmony.
The sound bowl was to help free emotional blocks. I play that around the body or at specific spots where I feel led to send the vibrations.
Lastly, I always open and close with thanks and gratitude, clearing the space before and after. I use Florida water, sage, or Paulo Santo and intentions.
