Distance Reiki Healing Online: What Happens

Three things happen, in order. You speak with the practitioner first, usually by video or phone, so she understands what is going on and what you are hoping for. Then, at the agreed hour, you rest quietly wherever you are while she works. Afterwards, you share what you noticed and what, if anything, you should do at home.

Nothing is demanded of you during the session itself. You do not need to concentrate, chant, visualise or stay awake. Lying down and letting your body be still is the whole of your part.

Reiki is a gentle relaxation practice. It sits alongside medical and psychological care, supporting rest rather than treating anything, and it is never a reason to delay or stop treatment your doctor has prescribed.

The preparatory conversation matters more than people expect, and at VastuKimaya the first consultation call is free precisely so it is not rushed.

You describe your situation in your own words — a stretch of poor sleep, a period of strain at work, recovery after an illness, a house that has felt heavy since a difficult year. The practitioner explains what Reiki does and does not do, and you agree the arrangements together.

Choose the quietest room you have and make it feel unhurried. This is the part you control, and it makes a visible difference to how the session goes.

Switch the phone to silent — not vibrate — and tell anyone else in the house that you should not be disturbed for the next stretch. Draw the curtains if the light is harsh, keep the room comfortably warm, and have a blanket, because people often cool slightly while lying still.

Keep water within reach for afterwards, and try not to eat a heavy meal immediately before. A small ritual of your own, such as lighting a diya and sitting for two minutes, helps the शांति (shanti, peace) of the room settle before you begin.

Experiences vary widely, and there is no correct one. What is reported most often is warmth in the hands or shoulders, a heaviness in the limbs like the moment before sleep, a slow deepening of the breath, and occasionally a wave of emotion that passes.

Many people fall asleep. That is entirely fine and is not a failure of attention — a body that lets go enough to sleep is doing the thing the session is for.

Some people feel very little at the time and notice something later: an easier night, a lighter morning, a reaction they did not have. And some feel nothing at all. Nobody should be told what they ought to have experienced.

Because distance work has always been part of how these practices are taught. Reiki is learned in stages, and the training at the second level is specifically concerned with working when the practitioner and the person are not in the same room.

This is not unusual in Indian practice generally. Vastu analysis is routinely done from a floor plan and photographs for clients in other cities and countries, and crystal guidance is often given remotely, with the person sourcing stones locally.

What matters far more than your latitude is whether you actually set the time aside. A session taken properly in Toronto is worth more than one squeezed in badly in Mumbai.

It cannot diagnose, and it cannot treat. Reiki is not a substitute for medicine, surgery, therapy or medication, and anyone who tells you otherwise is doing you harm. Continue everything your doctor has advised.

It cannot promise a result. Relaxation practices support wellbeing; they do not deliver outcomes on a schedule, and honest practitioners do not pretend they do.

It cannot carry the weight of a mental-health crisis. If you are in real distress — unable to sleep or function, or having thoughts of harming yourself — please contact a mental-health professional. In India, the free Tele-MANAS helpline is available 24×7 on 14416 (or 1-800-891-4416). Reiki may sit alongside that care; it must never take its place.

There is no fixed schedule, and there should not be. What suits a difficult fortnight is different from what suits a long recovery, and a good practitioner will suggest fewer sessions rather than more.

A common pattern is a short series close together while something is acute, then a longer gap and a review of whether it is still adding anything. If nothing seems to be changing, that is useful information and worth saying plainly.

Between sessions, the ordinary things carry most of the weight — sleep, daylight, movement, company, and a home that is not working against you. Reiki supports those; it does not replace them.

Dr. Kimaya Parikh-Ambekar offers Reiki healing and Reiki Vastu at VastuKimaya, from the office at A-1304, Naman Premier, Marol Military Road, Andheri East, Mumbai 400059, and as distance sessions for clients in other cities and abroad.

Call or message +91 70391 07512, or write to stayblessed@vastukimaya.com, with your city and time zone. The first consultation call is free, and the timing, the way the session runs and the arrangements are settled on that call. Sessions are held in English, Hindi, Marathi or Gujarati.

If what is troubling you seems tied to the house itself rather than to you, a remote Vastu consultation from a floor plan and photographs may be the more useful first step.
