The Reiki distance-healing symbol is Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (pronounced as Hon-Sha-Zee-Show-Nen). This symbol broadly means, having no past, no present and no future. Another way of interpreting this symbol is saying, "The Buddha in me contacts the Buddha in you". The Reiki distance-healing symbol is used to send Reiki energy from one place to another. The Reiki practitioner is in a particular place and from there he sends the Reiki energy to another place. When you use the Reiki distance-healing symbol time and distance have no meaning. Most Reiki practitioners believe that the distance-healing symbol is the most helpful and powerful symbol of Reiki. Using the symbol gives the practitioner access to the life records or "Akashic Records", of a person. This information can be used in karmic healing. Negative experiences of the previous life, parallel life and of this life that have been forgotten, but are affecting an individual's behavior can be brought back to the conscious and dealt with. After this the person will be free of their influence.

While using Reiki for long distance healing, do not concentrate on healing a particular problem like a backache. Simply send Reiki energy do not limit them. By doing this the energy will go to the part of the body which needs it most. In long distance healing the energies work on the subtle body of the person like the Chakras and the Aura. It does not work directly on the physical body of the person. In long distance healing energies take time to work on the physical body and ease physical pain. The person you are sending long distance healing to can feel it if he has an open mind. They can often tell you what you have done and when you did it. Reiki distance healing takes less time than hands -on treatment. All it takes is a few minutes to send distance healing. You can create a Reiki distance healing system that will automatically repeat the sending of energies to the person you want. If you do this you must set a limit on the number of times the energies are sent otherwise it may continue forever. If you have set a number limit you must renew and empower the long distance healing every day. Always remember that it your intentions that guides the transmission of energies.

Uses of Reiki Distance Healing:

• Using Reiki to heal and help people who live far away.

• Beaming Reiki to people across the room.

• You can send Reiki energies into the future to help you through a specific period or to help you with a specific task.

• You can send Reiki into your past to help you understand your past and remove any trauma in the past that is affecting you negatively in the present.

Each Reiki master will do distance healing in a different way. Basically you have to visualize the person you want to send healing to. If you have a photo you can use it, you can imagine the person or you can simply send it to someone you barely know, but needs distance healing. The most important thing in distant healing Reiki is the intention with which you are sending the healing. All you need to do is to clearly formulate your intention, use the Reiki long distance healing symbol and send energies. The distance-healing symbol is a Japanese Kanji, which represents the human body including the charkas and the five elements.
