Using Photos For Distance Healing

Distance healing works because of the interconnectivity that exists between all of us at a spiritual, or, if you like, energetic level; the rules of the physical world don’t apply here. You can make distance healing more effective by using a photograph of the person (or animal, or inanimate object) to focus your healing energy.

In Reiki distance healing, you’re taught to use symbols and mantras to connect with the person you want to offer healing to, in addition to the photo, to intensify the healing intent.

Symbols And Mantras

It’s fine to use these symbols and mantras if you feel comfortable with them, but really they’re just tools to use as aids to focus your healing intention. There are no rules to say you have to use them, and distance healing can be just as effective without them. Intention and focus is 99% of the work!

As an alternative to Reiki mantras, you could try reciting the person’s name a few times to focus your energy, either out loud or in your mind. If you feel using a symbol is powerful for you, and want to use something simple, you could try the infinity symbol, a figure ‘8’ drawn on its side over your left hand before you place the photo on it and enclose it with your right hand.

For me, this symbol characterizes the connection between all things at all levels.

Energy Flow

Now, in your mind’s eye see an image of the recipient enclosed blue-white healing light, and maintain this image for a few minutes or as long as you feel comfortable. It’s important that you don’t impose your own ‘need’ for the person to be healed. Stay neutral and let the energy flow where it chooses to go, allowing the person to take what they need from it. Don’t have expectations on the other person’s behalf; the healing they need may not come in an immediately obvious form.
