As a Reiki practitioner, energy work may be done hands on and in person, or it may be done equally as successful from a distance with the permission of the receiver.  While the method of the energy work draws from ancient Eastern wisdom and in essence, the power of prayer, the science behind it is rooted in the modern theories of quantum physics.

The Philosophy . . .

Health and disease are interconnected to a vital energy force that moves through channels and meridians throughout our bodies.  Each culture has various names by which they refer to this energy force.  It is known as Prana in Indian culture. The Japanese call it Ki, and in China it is called Qi. Without this energy force there is no life. Stress, poor eating habits, environmental toxins, drugs, and surgery are all examples that can impede the flow of energy.  But strong emotions we hold inside us do the most damage, as they cause our meridian channels to become blocked. Eventually the body develops disease from a lack of vital life-giving energy. Remove the blockages, and the flow is restored, allowing the body and mind to heal itself naturally.

While it is not entirely understood why Distance Healing works, there are now scientific theories that can help explain it.

The Science . . .

In Quantum Physics, it is known that everything in the universe is made of subatomic particles of energy, not “solid” matter as previous believed. In the early 1980’s, scientists at the University of Paris made an incredible discovery, considered one of the most important findings of modern science. They proved that under certain circumstances subatomic particles of energy are able to communicate instantaneously with each other no matter how far apart. Whether separated by a few inches, or many thousands of miles, the results were the same. In subsequent studies, one group of scientists concluded the energy particles communicated at a rate thousands of times faster than the speed of light. According to Einstein, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, otherwise the laws of time and space as we understand them are incorrect.

Some quantum physicists have reached the conclusion that the reason subatomic particles can stay in contact with each other despite vast distances is not because they are transmitting a signal back and forth faster than the speed of light, but because the separateness of the particles is an illusion. In theory, the particles are not individual entities but are extensions of the same fundamental something, and everything in the universe is infinitely interconnected.

These theories in the field seem to mirror what mystics and sages have been saying for thousands of years. We are all part of a continuous whole. They suggest the reason distance healing works is because we are all one in some fundamental (spiritual) way. This theory gives science something to work with. There have been many double blind clinical studies in China and the US over the past 20 years that show tremendous evidence that some alternative healing practices – the movement of subtle energy healing, prayer therapy and other distance energy modalities – are effective at improving overall health and well-being. We say in the field of distance healing that we are “sending” energy. The deeper reality may be that just like the subatomic particles in the lab, there is no energy going back and forth because the healer and the one being healed are connected… the healing energy simply manifests itself within the recipient as a result of mindful intent.

It is my hope that everyone have access to affordable, effective and safe holistic healing, no matter what part of the world they live in.  Through Distance Healing, anyone, at anytime can take this step to a better sense of self and well-being.  Imagine the ripple effect that can take place when we each take the responsibility upon ourselves to better who we are individually.

Empower yourself to feel your best physically, emotionally and spiritually….
