Some weeks, sitting in traffic to get to a wellness session is exactly the kind of stress you’re trying to escape. Maybe you live in Cavite, Cebu, or Singapore, and our holistic wellness studio isn’t anywhere near you. Or you’re so tired that getting dressed and going out feels like too much.
You can still rest and reset. With distance Reiki, the session comes to you.
What is distance Reiki?
Distance Reiki is a Reiki healing session you receive from home or anywhere you are. Reiki doesn’t depend on touch, so an online session follows the same steps as one in the studio while you lie somewhere comfortable and we stay connected on Google Meet. At Sphaera Lucis, it’s 60 minutes and the same ₱3,288 as a studio session.
In the Reiki tradition, energy isn’t limited by distance, and Reiki Level 2 practitioners are trained specifically in distance healing. They learn techniques for working with someone in another room, city, or country.
An online session runs like this:
- We connect on Google Meet, talk briefly about how you’ve been feeling, and make sure you’re comfortable.
- You lie down on your bed, sofa, or a mat with your phone or laptop nearby, and we begin with a gentle sweep of your energy field.
- We check your energy centers and send Reiki, with crystals and a relaxing sound playing in the background, while you rest and embrace the experience.
- We reconnect, talk through anything you noticed, and share simple ways to stay grounded.
Does online Reiki work as well as in person?
It’s the question we hear most, and it’s a fair one. In our experience, online sessions are as relaxing and meaningful as studio sessions. Aileen began offering distance healing in 2020, and during the pandemic it became a quiet refuge for many clients.
Some people even prefer it. There’s no travel before or after, so you can stay in that relaxed state instead of heading straight back into traffic. You’re in your own space and your own clothes, and you can rest for as long as you like when the session ends.
Everyone is different, though. If you’re curious about both, try one of each and see which suits you.
How to prepare your space at home
You don’t need anything special. Find a quiet spot where you can lie down for an hour without interruptions, and let the others at home know you’re unavailable. Silence the notifications on your phone and laptop. Keep the device close enough to hear us but out of reach, so you’re not tempted to check it.
Wear loose clothes. A pillow under your knees helps, and keep a light blanket nearby, because some people feel cool when they relax deeply. Dim the lights or close the curtains if you can, and have some water ready for afterward.
During the session, it helps to focus on your breathing or notice sensations in your body. Your mind will probably wander, which is normal. Bring your attention back when you notice.
What clients notice afterward
Here’s what some of our clients said after their distance sessions, in their own words:
“I had never tried it before but because I was feeling off my course, I asked for a session with her. During my distant session, I had time to relax… I woke up with a warm feeling in my shoulders and chest. It was powerful but I was totally at ease.”
Ven M., Metro Manila
“I was skeptical at first since it was done remotely. I’m grateful I tried it.”
Marissa Z., Philippines
“It started with a tingling sensation in my body and then gradually I was in deep sleep. After the session I felt very relaxed and light.”
Soumik B., India
People often feel warm or tingly, deeply relaxed, emotional, or sleepy. Others feel very little in the moment and then notice better sleep or a calmer mood over the next few days.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a camera on?
Only at the start and end, so we can talk face to face. During the Reiki part, you can turn your camera off and rest. Keep your audio on so we can guide you back gently when the session ends.
What if I fall asleep?
That’s fine, and it happens often. It usually means your body is finally resting. The session continues either way, and we’ll gently call your name at the end.
Can I join from abroad?
Yes. Clients join from across the Philippines and from other countries, including the UK, Australia, and the US. We’ll confirm the session time in Philippine time (GMT+8) so it’s easy to plan.
Is energy healing near me the same as an online session?
If you’re searching for energy healing or Reiki near you and travel isn’t practical, an online session follows the same steps as a studio session. If you’re in Metro Manila and prefer to come in, our studio is in Makati.
