Methods for sending distant healing
There are several different methods for distant healing. Choose the one you feel most comfortable with. They all work. For each method you must use the symbols in the following manner:

1. Sei-He-Ki,
2. Cho-Ku-Rei,
3. Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen.

The reason why I choose to use the Sei-He-Ki first is to allow for cleansing, clearing emotions, protection first and then I add the Cho-Ku-Rei for increased effectivity. You can draw the symbols in your mind, with your hand, or simply visualize the symbol in its complete form.

Each distant healing starts with the intention to send the healing to a specific person. Sending love, prayer, light, colours, healing, imagining someone well and healthy, are all distant healing techniques. What makes the difference to Reiki distance healing is the addition of the sacred Reiki symbols. They are said to filter and amplify the Reiki energy.

So first is the intention, second your person, third you visualize or draw the symbols (in sequence) and while you draw or visualize them, say the name of the symbol you are drawing three times. This can be done in your mind or out loud.

You can program the Reiki energy to kick in whenever needed by the person or to be repeated at weekly, daily or hourly intervals. Specify when the treatment should stop, i.e., as long as it is desirable for the highest good of the person, at the end of the week or month, etc. Ask your guides. Play with new ideas, see what works for you. Anything is possible.

Methods
The following is a variety of distant healing methods. They all work very well. The key to distant healing really seems to be intention.

Out of body Excursion

Imagine being with the person, doing hands on healing session

Shrink the person

You imagine the person shrunk to your hand size and do a healing on her

Mama Earth Doll

A quite popular method is the use of Terri's Mama Earth Doll. You use the Mama Earth Doll as a surrogate (replacing your person). Put your hands on the Doll and let the Reiki flow, imagining the Doll to be your person. Again, use the symbols, first the Sei-He-Ki, then add the Cho-Ku-Rei and the Hon-Sha-Ze-Sho-Nen to whirl the healing off through space to your person. You can also use a Teddy Bear, other stuffed animal or doll as a surrogate.

Photograph

Holding a picture of your person in your hands you let the Reiki flow to the person. Again, include the symbols.

The Rose Technique


Create a rose in your imagination, give it the name of your person, send Reiki to the rose and watch it bloom, add the symbols in sequence, hold for as long as you can, then let the picture dissolve.

Condensed energy transfer

With the person in mind you draw the symbols in the given sequence, visualize your person bathed in vibrant light (no need to determine the colour, it will be given), then send the symbols all together off to your person.
This method is quick and condensed.

The Thumb Method - and more, check Light and Adonea's Pages

You can empower the thumb of your hand to represent a person, situation or a relationship. Put your thumb into the other hand and as you do Reiki on your thumb, intend you are doing Reiki on the person, situation, or relationship (for the highest good of all involved).

For people as well as any other situation the Condensed Energy Transfer or Plain Visualization works very well. Intend to send Reiki to a person, situation, relationship, object. Draw each symbol in your mind saying its name three times as you draw it, then draw the next one, and then the last one. When all three symbols are drawn and lined up in front of you, send them off to the person, situation, relationship or object.

Once you have gained some experience in distant healing, this process will take a few minutes only and can be done anywhere, anytime (in the bathtub, while you're cooking, at work, while waiting at an intersection, etc.).

If you are more comfortable with a surrogate, treat yourself to Terri's Mama Earth Doll. It is well worth it. Then use the Mama Doll as a replacement for your person, situation, relationship, object. Put your hands on the Doll and intend the Reiki to flow. Add the symbols and their name (three times) in sequence.

This way works as well as the first one. Remember, all the various ways for distant healing are effective and work. Intention is the key-word here. I do encourage you to try out a few and find which one feels best to you. There are many more ways, and you can create your own personal distant healing technique.
