Keeping My Distance: A look at distance healing sessions

Dear Tina,

How do distance healings work?  It just doesn’t make sense how an energy worker can balance someone when they are not physically there.  Could you explain this please?

Dear Keeping my Distance,

I completely understand why the idea of distance energy work, healings and readings just don’t make sense.  Let me explain.

First off, energy is everything.  Energy can never be created or destroyed.  What is here has always been here and always will.  It cannot disappear, it can only change forms.  Our bodies are energy as well as our thoughts, feelings, spiritual purpose, etc.  Energy is everything.  It is basically data communicating to the world around us.

When a healer connects to a client, they are connecting to that person’s energy, not only the energy of their bodies, but everything that embodies them.  I can only speak to my process, so after I connect to a client, I tune into their energy through sight, sound and touch.  I speak directly to their spirit which brings their whole energy system in front of me and shows me what needs to be worked on.  Because energy is simply communicating data, it doesn’t matter where the person is physically located.  Sometimes I have in-person clients that need to use the bathroom in the middle of the session.  That’s no bother because I’m already connected to them, I just continue the healing as they take care of business!

The important thing to think of related to distance work is your comfort level.  Most importantly is trust.  You should feel comfortable with the practitioner and trust that they are actually working with your system since you are not physically there.  Second, if you feel you need an in-person session to get the full effects, honor that need.  Again, the process for a practitioner is the same whether you’re in-person or not, however, if it doesn’t feel real to you then the healing won’t stick.  Your comfort is a first priority.  Many people prefer distance work because you usually get a full report detailing  the session which may be difficult to remember if you were just listening during the in-person session.
