I have been a Reiki student few decades ago and I have learnt it up to the third degree although I have never practiced it professionally. I became an energy healer five years ago after I unexpectedly realised that people around me feel healed just by being around me.
The question “Can you do it on yourself remotely?” is very relevant because I am not usually in my physical body at all. I am always lost in my mind, completely unaware and distanced from my physical body! This is the state of mind of almost everyone living in the modern urban society. This was very much true for me too until five years ago.
It is impossible to do energy healing on myself remotely. I first need to return back to my body awareness for the healing energies to start flowing through me. Once I am connected to the electromagnetic field of earth’s energy and the healing energies begin flowing through my body, I will be able to offer healing to someone else remotely. Reiki is one of the modalities of energy healing and I am talking about the entire subject of energy healing.
Reiki is a Japanese word and it literally means “Universal Lifeforce Energy” or in simple terms Healing energy.
