Distance Healing, Reiki, and the Internet
I have long been fascinated by distance healing--the kind of healing that occurs when the healer and the subject are separated in space, sometimes when they are hundreds (or more) miles apart.
My first experience of this kind of healing occurred several years ago, when the healer and I had set a time for the healing to occur. I felt something stir within a few minutes before the appointed time, and later learned that she had started early.
A friend of mine was once caught in an airport for several hours. She is up in years and was quite uncomfortable sitting on the floor (the only space available) so she called a healer/friend who sent good vibes to her through the airways (or the field, to be more accurate). My friend's discomfort quickly disappeared, and she was able to wait out the delay in peace.
Edgar Mitchell, on the film called "The Divine Matrix" that is being privately circulated, relates his own experience. He was suffering from a kidney problem, so he called a healer hundreds of miles away in Oregon and asked for help. His ailment was soon cured.
All of these stories and more are becoming more and more common. However, I did not realize that similar techniques are now being offered though the internet. If you go to the following Utube site, you can experience a group healing from a circle of reiki practitioners.

I tried it last night and indeed felt many pleasant sensations as the nine-minute process continued. Of course, I may also have been reacting to the music that accompanies the sessions. And other similar sites are also available on Utube. I did not find all of these as effective as the Pioneer Valley group.
All of us have healing potential. What if we included such "long distance" transmissions as part of our daily practice? I'm sure that many of us do send prayers to our friends in need, or for the planet itself. Many Buddhists include "all sentient beings" at the conclusion of their prayers
But what if we did, in fact, regularly send healing energies into the atmosphere? Would the "field" not become stronger and more unified as a result? Would we as a group not benefit?
Even primitive humans used long distance transmission of energies. We know this because certain ancient cave drawings show the male hunters at work, with a line connecting them with their female companions back home. Actually, the line extends from the root of one to the root of the other. The root chakra is a powerful source of energy. And so is the heart. What if we created a vast field of interlinking connections of heart and heart around the world? What then?
