geography is not a barrier to connection
Distance Reiki Healing
Reiki — at a distance
Here is general info about our Reiki practice that applies to both in-person and distance work.
Distance sessions are conducted over video call. During the treatment, you are invited to turn your camera off and find a laying or sitting position that can allow your body to fully relax. Before & after the treatment, we will have time to talk about your intentions and debrief your experiences.
Giving a Reiki treatment from across the world works by the same principles that “hands-off” treatment in the same physical room does — by holding focused, compassionate, loving intention towards the recipient. The primary function of gentle physical touch between practitioner and recipient is to support relaxation; it is not strictly necessary in order for Reiki to flow.
Some people feel they can relax more easily when they are in the familiarity and privacy of their own space. For others, physically travelling to receive an in-person session may be time-, cost- or energy-prohibitive.
What happens in a distance session?
Distance sessions follow the same basic structure as in-person sessions.
In general, a 60 minute distance session is structured such:
- Intake conversation & arrival practice ~ 5-10min
- Reiki treatment ~ 40-45min
- Debrief ~ 5-10min
Establishing energetic connection over distance
When sending Reiki, it is helpful to know “who” and “where” to send it to. During the intake conversation, we will take a few moments to ask about where you currently are — acknowledging the land you are on & inviting it in to our session container. Feel free to share as much or as little as you prefer about your current location.
Preparation for a distance session
We want you to be as comfortable as possible during the session. Please do whatever you need to create a physical and energetic container for yourself that can support relaxation, such as:
- Using headphones to minimise potentially stressful “distractions” around you
- Having water, snacks, blankets, pillows, an eye cover, something soft to lay down on
- Turning off your notifications, make sure you won’t be disturbed by other humans for the hour
- Lighting a candle or incense, having meaningful objects or elements of nature close by
- Feel free to join from your bed, the forest floor, or any location that feels supportive
We also recommend giving yourself at least 15min of spaciousness and quiet between our call and your next meeting or appointment.
Distance Reiki sessions are offered by Kirien over Zoom, and cost €50 for 60 minutes.
FAQs
-
Everyone is different, and I can’t guarantee how it will be like for you. For those with limited experience with energy work, I typically invoke the metaphor of “meditating together”. Sometimes, meditation is simply deeply relaxing and stress-relieving; other times, it can also involve spontaneous transformative insights and other experiences typically described as “spiritual”.
Sometimes people fall asleep during the session — this is quite common and very welcome.
There is no right or wrong, better or worse experience — I trust that whatever experience you do have, is the one that’s most needed right now.

On Zoom.
You can join from any location you like. If you prefer not to be on camera at all, audio-only is also possible.
“I see the mycelium as the Earth's natural Internet, a consciousness with which we might be able to communicate. […] Because these externalized neurological nets sense any impression upon them, from footsteps to falling tree branches, they could relay enormous amounts of data regarding the movements of all organisms through the landscape.”
