What Is Distance Reiki?

Distance Reiki is a way of offering Reiki when the practitioner and recipient are not in the same physical location.

During your scheduled session, you can remain in the comfort of your own home or another quiet place while I conduct your Reiki session remotely.

There is no need to travel, join a video call, or do anything complicated. Your role is simply to give yourself a little uninterrupted time to rest.

Reiki is a complementary spiritual and wellness practice. People come to it for many different reasons, but there is no particular feeling or experience you need to have for a session to be meaningful.

Your Session

Each Distance Reiki session is personally conducted by me, F. Todd Forman, Usui Reiki Master/Teacher.

At your scheduled time, I conduct your individual Reiki session from my own quiet practice space.

You do not need to be on the phone or on camera.

You may sit, lie down, rest, read quietly, meditate if you choose, or simply take the time to be still.

Before your session, you may share an optional intention or focus. This is completely up to you.

After your session, I will confirm that it has been completed and may share brief personal notes or observations from the session.

Every session is individual.

How to Prepare

You do not need any special equipment or prior Reiki experience.

Before your scheduled session:

• Choose a quiet, comfortable place where you are unlikely to be disturbed.
• Silence your phone or notifications if possible.
• Sit or lie down in whatever position feels comfortable.
• Keep water nearby if you would like.
• Allow yourself a few minutes afterward before returning to a busy schedule.

There is nothing you need to perform, achieve or force.

You do not need candles, crystals, incense, special clothing, fasting, music or meditation unless you personally enjoy them.

Rest is welcome

It is completely okay if you fall asleep during your Distance Reiki session. Many people become deeply relaxed and may drift off to sleep. You do not need to remain awake or consciously focus on the session for the entire time. If you fall asleep, simply allow yourself to rest.

A comfortable atmosphere

If scent helps you settle in, you are welcome to use a favorite incense or other calming fragrance. Todd personally enjoys Nag Champa. This is completely optional—choose whatever helps your space feel peaceful and comfortable.

No incense or fragrance is required. Avoid scents if they bother you, and be mindful of allergies, asthma, pets, or others sharing the space. Never leave candles or burning incense unattended. If you may fall asleep, extinguish them before settling down to rest.

Simply give yourself the time and space to rest.

What Might I Experience?

Every Reiki session is different.

Some people describe experiences such as:

• warmth
• tingling
• relaxation
• heaviness or lightness
• emotion
• mental imagery
• a quiet or meditative feeling
• sleepiness
• vivid dreams later
• or simply a peaceful period of rest

You may also notice very little that feels unusual.

That is completely okay.

There is no required sensation, emotional response, vision or spiritual experience.

A dramatic experience does not mean the session was somehow “better,” and a quiet experience does not mean anything went wrong.

It is completely okay to fall asleep and allow yourself to rest. Falling asleep is not required.

Allow the session to be whatever it is for you.

About F. Todd Forman

Usui Reiki Master/Teacher

I created LOTUS12 as a place for Reiki education, practice, reflection and personal growth.

My approach to Reiki is calm, practical and personal.

I believe Reiki should be offered with respect, clear boundaries and without exaggerated promises.

Whether someone comes to LOTUS12 to study Reiki, experience a session, or simply learn more about the practice, I want the experience to feel welcoming and grounded.

Distance Reiki allows me to offer an individual session without asking you to travel or rearrange your day around an in-person visit.

You can simply choose a time, create a quiet space for yourself, and receive the session from wherever you are.
