Understanding Reiki Energy: Distance is No Barrier

As a Reiki Master, I often get asked whether online sessions can be as effective as in-person treatments. The beautiful truth about Reiki energy is that it transcends physical space and time. Energy healing works on quantum principles - the same universal life force energy that flows during an in-person session can be channeled just as powerfully through distance healing.

In my practice at Soleil by Suzanne, I've witnessed profound transformations in clients through both formats. The key lies in the practitioner's training, intention, and the client's openness to receive healing. Whether you're lying on my treatment table in Waalre or relaxing in your own sacred space at home, the Reiki energy flows where it's needed most.

Immediate integration support: Receive instant guidance and grounding techniques as you process emotions that arise

Best suited for:

Addressing Common Concerns About Online Healing

I understand that the concept of distance healing might feel unfamiliar, especially if you're new to energy work. Here are the most common concerns I hear and my honest responses:

"How can energy healing work through a screen?"

The healing doesn't happen "through" the screen - the video call is simply our communication tool. Reiki energy operates on a different plane entirely. Think of it like radio waves - they're always present, but we need to tune in to receive them. My training allows me to channel and direct this energy regardless of physical distance.

"Will it be as powerful as in-person?"

Many of my clients report equally profound experiences with online sessions. Sometimes, being in their own safe space actually allows them to go deeper into relaxation and healing. The energy is just as real and effective - what matters most is your openness to receive it.

"What if I don't feel anything?"

Not everyone feels dramatic sensations during Reiki, whether online or in-person. Healing often happens on subtle levels. You might notice changes in your sleep, stress levels, or emotional state in the days following your session. Trust that the energy is working exactly as it should for your highest good.

Making Your Choice: Which Format is Right for You?

Consider these questions to help guide your decision:

Choose in-person if you:

Are new to Reiki and want the full traditional experience

Respond well to physical touch and hands-on healing

Have specific physical symptoms or tension you'd like addressed

Find it easier to relax when completely away from your daily environment

Want to experience the full range of my healing tools (sound bowls, gemstones, etc.)

Choose online if you:

Have a busy schedule or transportation challenges

Feel more comfortable and open in your own space

Are dealing with anxiety about new environments

Want regular, consistent sessions without travel time

Are located outside the Netherlands but want to work with me specifically

Remember: There's no wrong choice, and you can always try both formats to see what resonates with you. Many of my clients alternate between online and in-person sessions based on their current needs and circumstances.

Maximizing Your Session Experience

Regardless of which format you choose, here are my recommendations for getting the most from your Reiki session:

Before your session:

Set a clear intention for your healing

Avoid heavy meals or caffeine 2 hours beforehand

Create a peaceful environment (even for in-person sessions, this mental preparation helps)

Stay hydrated

During your session:

Focus on your breath and allow yourself to receive

Notice any sensations, emotions, or thoughts without judgment

Trust the process, even if you don't feel dramatic changes immediately

After your session:

Drink plenty of water to support the energy integration

Be gentle with yourself for the rest of the day

Journal about your experience if you feel called to

Practice the personalized exercises I'll provide
