Does distance (virtual) Reiki still work?

Distance or virtual Reiki sessions can be just as beneficial and impactful as in-person sessions due to the non-local nature of energy, the practitioner’s training and intention, and the ability to structure sessions effectively. Recipients can experience healing, relaxation, and emotional balance from the comfort of their own space, making Reiki more accessible and inclusive. It can be particularly supportive for prenatal mothers who may have difficulty traveling or have been instructed by their physician to be on bed-rest.
