Distant healing

What do we know about Qi. Is it constricted by time and space as we think we are? Through the healing practices and multiple experiments we know that Qi is a kind of a field and it can be transmitted or received, perhaps just as radio-waves.

What do we know about a field

Radio waves? Let's say we stick to the science taught at schools. In physics there is a proven concept that any electro-magnetic field is infinitely large. Next door to a radio station the waves will be obviously stronger, however in other parts of the planet or even in the Space the radio signal may also be successfully received, providing the receiver is attuned to the same frequency.

And how about the Qi field?

Comparing to electro-magnetic fields, Qi-energy is more disperse and subtle. It cannot be detected even by very sensitive scientific equipment and it penetrates the gross matter with ease. According to the ancient scriptures, Qi is present everywhere - it is the property of the Universe.

In Qigong (or other energy healing traditions) it is possible for a practitoner to attune to the patient located somewhere else within the universal field of Qi. And it is also entirely possible to harmonise the Qi field of the patient at a distance. The intent and prayers of the practitioner have no boundaries. They lead the Qi-energy penetrating and surrounding the receiver in a way to regulate his or her body and mind, and to promote healing.

Treatable conditions

All those issues where Qigong is applicable in person may also be helped at a distance.

What is the difference then?

The obvious difference is absence of the personal connection. It might be good to develop a personal connection with your practitioner, for your comfort first of all. On the other hand it might not be so good, as if this connection is developed the practitioner has a chance to get more involved into your situation as a human being, and apart from serene compassion may also develop some pity for you (or for himself :)), which affects the clinical judgement and treatment. A certain degree of withdrawal is required for a good treatment.

Distant treatment is also naturally more subtle and sometimes even more precise. For example, in my personal practice I try to avoid some areas of the body when I do the treatment - simply for cultural reasons, even if the problem is rooted there. Instead of stimulaing those areas (which would be far more efficient!) I have to go a long way, stimulating other points that have actions on those areas. In distant sessions this is not an issue, as all the sensations you have are your personal, private experience.

How does it work?

The time is arranged between the practitioner and the receiver. During the session it is preferable if a patient stays calm and relaxed in the lying down position. Usually, there are common sensations of Qi felt during the treatment. They may include feeling of heat, mild pain or heaviness in some parts of the body, or otherwise lightness or elation. All of these are temporary and will go away when the Qi flow is restored through the blocked channels in the area.

Some relief is often felt straight after the first session, however most beneficial is to commit at least to three sessions in a row. Sessions repeated every week until a sufficient relief is observed.

It is important to understand that distant sessions may also induce Qi reactions. It may or may not happen, and there is no need to worry about it in advance, because this is planting the seed of expectation in your own mind.
