What is distance Reiki?
Red Pine Reiki teaches Reiki very differently from the popular “send healing energy across space” idea. Our view is non-dual, grounded in Japanese esoteric traditions, and focuses on the true nature of mind rather than energy transmission alone.
Distance Reiki is the practice of realizing that there is no separation between you, others, or the universe.
Everything is already interconnected.
Space and time are mental constructs and healing happens when the practitioner rests in a state of oneness (non-duality).
Reiki is teaching the concept of non-duality.
Non-duality is the notion that we are all interconnected, humans and all the universes.
Duality is the idea that we are all separate. There is a You and an I.
We are already soaked in Duality, and we know how this has been working out so far for the world: confusion, hate, worry, fear, division, you name it.
Within a Reiki session, duality becomes non-duality between the practitioner and the client. People are not used to that!
During distance Reiki we return to our own True Nature (Reiki), and healing arises naturally.
When the practitioner embodies their True Self, distance healing is simply a state of being, not a doing.
“Interconnectedness Reiki” = Distance Reiki.
Remembering We Are Not Separate
Interconnectedness is the foundation of Reiki practice. The universe is already woven together. The practitioner simply practices to experience that truth. When your mind is calm, open, and compassionate, you touch that oneness. From that state, healing intention is a natural expression of your Be-ing.
The esoteric Eastern teachings of distance Reiki embodies the notion that healing happens when returning to our natural state, where separation dissolves.
You’re being Reiki — embodying the qualities of the universe (compassion, clarity, non-duality). In this state, we are helpful for our recipient and everyone in between as we send healing and compassionate support in a non-dual state. This is quite the contrast to what is often manifested Intentionally or unintentionally via dual states such as compassion for this person and not that person or this group of people but not that group. True compassion does not choose, and yes, compassion can and sometimes is needed from a distance.
Humans cry when born to clear our lungs and to locate the person or people who have compassion for us. A human baby cannot survive without love, compassion and empathy. We need another human to pick us up and care for us. If not our mother, hopefully our father, if not our father, hopefully a nurse, if not a nurse, hopefully an older sibling or a compassionate capable adult, or we would not survive.
The Method of Distance Reiki: The Symbol Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen
The distance symbol (HSZSN):
Its meaning is no past, no present, no future.
No separation
When practitioners meditate with HSZSN, we are training the mind to rest in the timeless, boundless state where distance does not exist. From that realization, distance healing becomes effortless.
When you practice distance Reiki you drop into stillness, spacious awareness, compassion, and interconnectedness. In that inner state the boundary between “me” and “you” softens.
Healing occurs because the practitioner is embodying a balanced, awakened state. The recipient entrains to that stability, peace, and clarity which optimizes your body's natural capacity for healing.
