Why Distant Healing is an Effective Therapy

To understand why distance energy healing is an effective and complementary healing therapy it is helpful to have background information about human evolution and the physics of the energy world we live in. I understand this article is long, so if you are not interested in the physics of energy healing, you can easily skip ahead to another section of interest.

Universal Life Cycle

In late 2011, a trio of scientists discovered that since the big bang happened, the universe is expanding at an increasing pace, not decreasing like previously thought! This expansion itself is synonymous with the 'growing force'. As long as the expansion is increasing in speed, then all life encompassed by the universe is within a growing process. When the expansion pace stops, then the big life cycle of this universe will be mature, reproduction of the universe will occur and then the universe will start to break down and collapse back upon itself in the dying process. This life cycle of birth, growing, maturity, reproduction, decline and finally death is seen in every life form on earth.

Increasing pace of speed means all objects are vibrating faster and being subjected to increased vibration. This is seen easily in our sun, which grows hotter and puts out more energy each year. This means all life on earth is being subjected to a stronger vibration and energy each year, as the sun grows. We are growing too. This is obvious from looking at our fossil record that life on earth has been subject to this growing force for millions of years and there have been many growth cycles and metamorphosis of new species over time.

The Growing Force

What is this growing force? Well, that is something scientists cannot yet categorize, but it is likely equivalent to the large invisible portion of the universe known as dark energy, which makes up 70% of the universe. Only 5% of the universe is visible with objects such as the earth and stars, down to atomic level and the other 25% of universe is composed of dark matter. I understand the invisible dark energy to be the source energy that contains all potential. It is the growing force, invisible light, and is the source of the conscious intelligence that is present in all living forms. Because it cannot be seen, this means it has not manifested as any form, it is pure energy, and I liken it to the energy of our creator. 

An interesting fact of physics is "objects gain mass by moving through space". This means the growing force is causing all objects to gain mass, which includes us. From Einstein's famous equation of E=mc², energy is equal to the mass times the speed of light squared. As objects gain mass, obviously their energy increases and they vibrate faster. If you already understand you are eternal and cannot be destroyed, this means your energetic vibration and mass are increasing with each successive lifetime you have experienced.

Our Physical Reality

Physical life is not what it appears on the surface. The reality is all objects we can see and feel are mostly composed of space. From Nova's Fabric of the Cosmos Series Greene stated: "Matter is mostly empty space. If you take out the space and the mass of the Empire State Building, it would condense to the size of a super-heavy grain of rice. Space is not actually empty. It is seething with activity at the quantum level. Particles are continually flashing in and out of existence." The universe is 95% invisible space, the empire state building is the same and the solid matter is like a heavy grain of rice, the same is true of us. We look solid, but the reality is we are full of invisible space. That invisible space contains our source energy, our essence, our soul, our growing force, it contains dark energy and we are filled with the growing force itself, which is intelligent and indestructible. This growing force is what gives us intuition, creativity, physical form and allows healing to occur in our bodies to name a few things. Our solid aspect is our current physical manifestation that we can see, but as we know, it is only temporary and death will eventually destroy it. However, our energetic aspect is eternal and cannot be destroyed. All the forms and forces of the universe are within our bodies, we are part of the universe and thus an object and subject to the same laws of physics that affect objects. Spirituality is actually a physical force; it exists even if we cannot measure it. Spirituality is the intelligent consciousness that is present in all life. Consciousness is at the center of all the forces of physics, it is the unifying force that physicists cannot find and we are one with it. The source cannot be found in the normal way by observing past forms, it can only be located by dropping our attachment to physical formed reality and becoming still. When we are totally still, then we are one with it, we then can see it, feel it and know it.

We are all connected through the Universal Sea

The dark energy that fills the universe fills all objects as well. It is like an invisible fluid that can easily penetrate all objects because it has no solid particles, it is pure energy. Because there is no matter in dark energy, then no object can shield from being saturated by it. It is everywhere, ever-present and intelligent. We are all connected due to the existence of dark energy that permeates everything. Dark energy exists as a universally distributed and continuous fluid and by its nature is capable of receiving, propagating and communicating all the impressions of movement. It is comparable to the vehicle of transport of information between objects in the universe. Because the dark energy permeates everything, effectively there is no distance between any physical object in space-time and communication and transport of information happens instantly. This pure fluid fills all the space and interstices between all particles. We actually exist in a fluid world, like fishes in the sea, where any movement of a fish affects all other fish in the sea. Because of this universal fluid, we are able to approach each other, withdraw, communicate, and be connected to each other. This fluid is the sole mechanism for our reciprocal relations, it is consciousness itself.

What is Time?
In its simplest definition, time is a reference point about something that physically happened in the universe, where 'the time' actually exists primarily as a memory. Human time is a convenience to reference happenings of the past, present and future. Time itself exists due to the growing force, so can be seen as evidence of the growing force. There would not be time or future reference points if there were not an expanding growing force. If we were at the point where the universe had stopped expanding then matter would start to collapse back on itself and we would see the effect of 'reverse-time' or going backwards in time. If you could merge fully with the field of dark energy, which you can do by being entirely still, then time ceases to exist. This is because dark energy is the growing force and when you stop moving, then you are one with it, and thus no movement is detected, time then appears to stand still. An interesting 'spiritual fact' about time is all times exist at the same time. Any specific 'time' can be referenced and accessed by knowing unique qualities about the time in question whether it be past, present or future. This is because each happening has a unique quality of vibration and characteristics, which distinguish it from all other times. Okay, this explanation needs another spiritual fact, and that is nothing is ever destroyed, it only changes it shape. This fact makes distance energy healing possible for past, present and future events.

Human Evolution Today
Human beings today face a profound evolutionary transformation due to increasing vibration of the universe due to acceleration of the growing force and the effect it is having on our bodies. It seems our old human species is no longer suited to the new environment, and a transformation is being forced on us to metamorphosis into a new species. It is natural when near the end of a growth cycle, extra stress is put on organisms to transform and this is the main reason for the growing sickness, violence and stress we see today. Signs of this ongoing human transformation are increased symptoms of disease, elevated stress levels, increased violence and on the positive side spiritual awakenings in growing numbers of people today.

The evolution of humans on earth has been going on for thousands of years, and what is important to know about it is, each generation of humans has a higher level of self-realization. These days this is easy to see by the increasing number of people who are experiencing spiritual awakenings. As humans move through space-time by living successive lifetimes, our mass increases which also means our vibration increases. This is equivalent to saying our self-realization levels increase. This change in our energetic vibration and awareness level through successive lifetimes is primarily stored in the DNA, which contains instructions for our physical growing. When our vibration or mass reaches a certain threshold, it will trigger strands in the DNA to activate and a successive transformation or healing process will follow. The accelerated evolutionary forces we face today have the reason to raise our self-realization level. No matter where we are at individually in our evolution, the current times with the stress and problems we face give everyone an opportunity to learn about healing and transformation processes. The illnesses and difficulties we face today can motivate us to find solutions and ways to heal. Human evolution is the same as increased self-realization level and rising awareness is the same as the healing process. Healing is also the same as the growing process and always results in increased self-awareness. Healing and higher level of spirituality are the same thing.

What causes Disease?
As the growing force from the universe increases our internal vibration, it puts stress on our existing physical structure. It is like our physical structure and organization eventually reaches a point where it cannot exist in the increased vibration field and it starts to break down. This is a natural process of evolution, change and transformation and part of the universal growing force. With every living thing, there is a natural pattern or birth, growing, maturation, reproduction, then decline and eventually death. After reproduction, the physical form tends to be fixed, and while the growing force is still vibrant and present, it does not prevent decline and death because we are attached to our physical form and we prevent this force from healing and transforming us due to our attachment to the known and familiar form. The primary way we stay attached to the old form is by constant use of our mind-voice or thinking. Decline starts because we do not let go of the existing form and allow ourselves to be changed. If we were not attached to our personality, if we were not clinging to existing known forms, then we would simply transform and heal. When we do not let go of attachment to our old self, this causes stress, fear, violence and disease because we are resisting the transformation energy trying to keep the familiar mind-voice self intact. The higher the vibration of the universe and the more rigid our outer self, the less we allow change of our habits and conditioned ways, the sicker we will be. The truth is we have plenty of energy to heal us; the dark energy is abundant and instantly accessed. To start the healing process we need information about healing, practice and experience with energy healing and believing it is possible! Once we believe it is possible we will learn how to access this abundant healing source and healing will happen. After healing happens then we will be convinced of this powerful source, and will get an unexpected side-affect of higher awareness and spiritual awakening and be motivated to go on with it!


A living system is like being composed of two objects; there is the manifest part of our physical body and the part not manifest as our spirit or life force. Each is vibrating at a different rate. It is as if we have a strong perfect vibration deep inside us, but the physicality and structure of our body and personality that covers this, prevents the inside vibration from manifesting externally as a whole and perfectly ‘in the flesh’. The lower our physical level of vibration is, the more restricted the flow of energy is throughout our body and the sicker and less aware we are. The physical aspect of self is not our permanent or real aspect, rather it is our reflected visible aspect, it represents what we are currently capable to manifest given our self-knowledge and experience.

Our full potential is contained in our non-reflected invisible aspect, which is our soul, spirit or source energy. This vibration is the same as the vibration of dark energy or of the growing force itself. We can access this vibration and be one with it by placing our attention in the correct way to see it, feel it and be one with it. Our energetic aspect of self is indestructible, eternal and has abundant energy and information. Being part of the universal dark energy fluid that permeates everything, it is a vast resource of huge energy potential and contains much information. We are made of the material of the universe and we are made of light (dark energy). Because we have light inside us, when we get still, then there is no sense of time because we have matched the speed of light, because we are now being as one with light. A fact of physics states that at the speed of light, transformation from matter to energy physically happens. When we are as one with the source of light by being still, then transformation from matter to energy physically happens and our vibration increases and we become more aware. In the space of being still, transformation, healing and metamorphosis happens. Being still is the meditative state, and when we achieve it, we change. Distance healing is an effective therapy because it puts the person being healed into this still state that causes transformation and healing.

Energy Blocks

An energy block is an area in the body where energy has difficulty to move through which prevents healing of the area. Disease and injuries tend to manifest in areas of energy blocks. Energy blocks in the body also form along a line in the body, so when a problem develops in one area, it tends to later affect the next thing along that line. Energy blocks in the body have a direct link with a program of conditioned response in the mind for the use of this body section. Conditioned response maintains the energy block. All humans have thousands of energy blocks, which we have created due to our initial choices of response to happenings and conditioned use of our body, mind and emotions afterwards. The energy block will continue to exist until the conditioned response is removed, which happens when the mind reorganizes or is reprogrammed.

As we live our life, we accumulate more energy blocks and eventually the blocks become problematic and our body tells us this is so, by producing symptoms as it tries to heal our problems. When we have an illness or disease, this means our energy is not flowing through our body in an ideal way. If the energy were flowing ideally, we would have perfect health as the body always tries to maintain a homeostasis. When there are energy blocks, our system will respond by producing symptoms, which are a sign of restoration towards balance. If the normal way that the body eliminates toxins and harmful substances is blocked, it will find another pathway to eliminate them.

From birth onwards, we accumulate energy blocks from experiences in the tissues of the body and mind, which progressively reduce our physical energetic vibration and result in less ability for our body to maintain homeostasis. Energetic flows in the body get blocked and tension accumulates in tissues of the body around those blockages, reducing our overall energy. We create and maintain energy blocks in various ways. We unconsciously protect an area of the body that was hurt in the past to prevent experiencing pain in that area again. We make repetitive movements of facial and body expressions, which cause excessive strength in lines relating to those movements and weakness in areas of body not used. In our hectic lives we accumulate stress and muscle tension, and do not know how to release it daily. There is inherited genetic imprinting causing genetic disease, which is due to long unresolved issues of self-change. The reasons for energy blocks in the body are varied but there is one common factor, and that is due to our habitual use of our mind in a programmed way. The longer an energy block stays in place, the more our overall energy is reduced as it eventually spreads and starts to reduce energy flow in associated body parts. The lower our energy gets the less ability we have to stave off disease and maintain a healthy and flexible state in the body.


Common to all therapies and treatments is healing happens due to a boost in our energetic vibration. Massage releases tension from muscles, stored energy is released and returned to the system. Taking needed vitamins or supplements can make our system run smoother and more efficiently. If we are hungry and eat or are tired and sleep, then our energy is replenished. Taking a nature walk, can relax mind and body and release stress. Fasting and cleansing protocols can rest and clean the digestive system. It takes a lot of energy to digest food, and when we fast there is an immediate boost in energy, which many experience also as increased clarity and awareness. Switching to a healthier diet will increase our energetic vibration, as it takes less energy to digest healthy foods and the nutrient boost helps heal our body. Daily meditation releases stress and increases awareness levels. Exercise keeps energy vibration high, and tissues elastic and functional, opening areas of energy blocks in the body. Learning to go beyond conditioned response patterns of thinking and emotions, by reading, self-help groups, EFT or therapy greatly increases energy. Energy treatments such as distance healing, acupuncture, reiki, cranial sacral therapy, chiropractic, or zero balancing will all increase energy by released energetic blocks of various kinds.   

The reason we have low energy is primarily due to our attachment to our personality. We are conditioned creatures of habit, and the more we behave the same, the lower our energy gets over time. Anything we can do to shake up our energy and conditioned patterns will increase our energetic vibration, our awareness and have a healing and transformational side effect. While all the things above will rise our energetic vibration and cause healing to happen, the most effective way to have healing happen is to learn to merge with and become one with the dark energy source itself. The most profound healing happens when our mind is quiet and still, which for most people only happens for a few minutes in a special time of sleep at night. With stillness the source of the problem can be cured, which happens with a reorganization of the mind itself. Once we know this to be true, there only remains our task to become skilled at mediation and learn how to quiet the mind on demand on a daily basis. When we detach from our mind, by not using our mind-voice to animate our personality, then our energy body can freely be reorganized in the mind, body, and profound healing happens. Use of energy by the person as 'personality' is normally a 24/7 use of energy and not known by many is how much energy is needed to activate and animate the personality. When you learn how to turn this animation off, a huge energy gain is returned, healing accelerates as well as increased level of self-realization.

We all have the Potential to be healers

The dark energy is everywhere and inside everyone, everyone has access to it and has the potential to be a healer. I would go so far as to say every human will eventually become a healer, because self-healing is a necessary step to reach further steps in evolution. Everything is energy, humans are energy beings and all problems can be corrected energetically. The roots of human problems are attachment to material forms, or the visible world, which has the inherent problem to hide or veil our energetic reality. Our main physical attachment is to our ability to self-reflect by using our mind and then reacting emotionally from what we are thinking. This creates an illusion of an activated physical entity, or 'personality'. It is this illusion we generate with use of our mind and emotions that we are primarily attached. The longer we stay attached to generation and interaction with this illusion, the sicker we become. Ultimately, only an individual has the power to stop the habit of using their mind-voice to activate the personality, by using their will power, focus and skills of concentration to withdraw energy away from using the mind in this way. The more an individual practices doing this, the more mental clarity, emotional calmness, increased vitality and awareness they will develop. Eventually the growing force will be strong enough in each person, that they will gladly accept the challenge to heal themselves and will do whatever it takes to fully heal.

When you are first starting your healing journey, it can be a wise decision to get help from someone who has already healed themselves. These people have an abundance of information on healing and self-transformation, so you do not have to reinvent the wheel. They can be a great catalyst for your healing or spiritual awakening when you are first starting as their energetic vibration is much higher than most.

Distance Healing is a Natural Therapy
Energy healing is an effective therapy for any physical, mental, emotional or spiritual condition. Energy healing can easily be combined with conventional therapies with no negative side effects and addresses healing of the root cause of the issue. Energy healing is actually done by your own internal healer, which has a wisdom we cannot fathom. Energy healing thus works in a natural order, where your healer determines how to use the boost in energy to heal what is most important for your survival. As an energy healer you don't need to direct the energy in any particular way, you can trust that the internal healer knows perfectly how to heal the person and what is needed to be healed in which order. Having observed many healing processes, it is natural that your body will work first to clean out toxins and congestions in the lymph and organs and then to activate energy centers on the spine known as chakras, as this is the quickest way to ramp up your own energetic vibration. Cleansing nearly always happens first and is a good thing, because in later healings it is necessary to have an open functioning and strong elimination system to remove larger amounts of toxins.

Maintain Healthy Energy Balance
In our stressful times and increasingly toxic world, it is very important that people incorporate some aspect of energy healing into their daily lives. It is important just like brushing your teeth to prevent cavities, to do some healing activity each day to maintain mental clarity, emotional stability, vibrant health and awareness. The basics of energy healing is healing happens when the mind is quiet, so finding a way each day to settle the mind is the most important thing you can practice. The proven and age-old practice of sitting meditation is one of the most effective things to learn and do. With this practice, you learn how to turn off the mind-voice and deactivate animation of the personality. In the space you achieve quiet mind by doing this, your energy blocks will heal. Each second of quiet mind is very precious and there is great healing potential in even a second. Energy moves very fast, so a second can be a long time. As you practice, your ability to sustain quiet mind will increase, as well your awareness level, so each day you do it you start out stronger than the day before. Another effective tool is learning how to do energy healing and doing it daily. If you continue like this, you will fully heal yourself of all problems and then you will be in a great position to help others heal.

How does distance healing work?
In reality there is actually no distance between yourself and another person, we are connected though the ever present pool of universal dark energy. It is only in the visual and perceptual world that the world seems solid and we get the sense of being separated objects in time and space. Dark energy fills all spaces and connects us all as described above. Distance healing works just like an in-person healing with a few minor differences.

Distant energy healing happens by entrainment. From physics, we know that every thing vibrates. From Newton's Laws of motion we know when two objects meet each other, the vibrations of the two objects will synchronize with each other. The object with higher vibration will slow down and the object with slower vibration will speed up, until the two synchronize with each other and 'meet' to establish 'a line of communication'. This process of synchronization known as entrainment is a main reason why energy healing works. During entrainment as vibrations speed up and slow down, it causes vibration in all the tissues of the body, which flows through the muscles and does 'work' to open and heal areas of blocked energy. The synchronization process only takes a few minutes, and after this the vibration in both objects starts to accelerate from their synchronized 'meeting point'. The vibration in both objects will continue to increase, as long as the objects stay in contact with each other. This is done in a distance healing by maintaining focus and in person by lying on of hands. Increasing vibration means healing or transformation is happening in both objects, as it is removing stagnant flows of energy to be able to 'raise' the vibration to a higher level.

These energy blocks are like a line that runs through body and mind, so the entire line is opened from mind to body. As the vibration increases, it shakes people out of their conditioned habit of using their energy to animate their personality. In short, people receiving an energy healing tend to go quiet in mind and receive a real transformative healing, which cures the root cause of their physical energy block that has the cause in the mind itself. This is what happens during the healing phase of sleep to keep the body maintained, but it is a very short amount of time and is not long enough to heal chronic long-standing conditions. A skilled distance healer has the ability to put a person into a deep state of quiet mind for a long period, thereby giving the persons system a clear shot to cure the root cause of any condition, which exists primarily in the mind. I will tell you a secret. The physical object with the strongest energetic vibration you can entrain to (on earth) is another human being. A distance healer who has healed themselves can greatly increase another person's energetic vibration, because their own vibration is higher than most people. Getting distance healings from such a person can give you a large boost to help you heal the cause of your problem and to elevate your self-realization level.

Distance healing works at the energetic level, which is what makes it a very valuable healing method, because an energetic flow or imbalance is the cause of physical problem. Distance healing works to open energy blocks and reorganize the mind and nervous system, it is like opening up an energy channel that previously had low energy flow. This is the source of the physical problem and when the channel is opened, it allows energy to get to the area causing a healing of the physical problem. The actual healing is done by your own body; it is not done by the healer. The healer is only the catalyst to raise your vibration up high enough to allow the energy reorganization to happen. The physical change is later manifested as healed tissue in the mind and body, and becomes apparent when the cells replenish with new growth. A distance healing therefore can have healing effects that go on for many months afterwards.

How is a Distant Healing Done?
When in contact with a person locally, there is more resistance to being healed. Being physically touched creates reactions and resistance itself. It is hard for a person to fully relax and be in a meditative state while being physically touched. Distance healing can be much stronger than in person energy healing, because a person usually feels very little and if they do feel something, it is pleasant like blissful tingly light energy, which never feels threatening. When there is contact at a distance, there is much less personal resistance thus the body vibration can rise much higher as the person is not diverting any energy to 'protect themselves' and healing is more effective. A second reason why distance healing can be stronger than in person healing is the healer can maintain a deeper state of concentration and state of quiet mind, because there are fewer distractions, resulting in a higher level of vibration, which has more healing potential.

A distance healing is done by the healer first activating his or her own vibration to raise it to a high level to begin the energy healing. Next, the distance healer clearly identifies the being or place they want to energetically connect with. What is needed to establish a connection for distance healing is a clear reference to the person's unique identifying vibration signature. Several things are unique for each person and can be used such as photo, name, geographical location, birth date or an object the person once held. The other thing a distance healer specifies is the time for the distant healing. We need to specify the time we want to work with the person or thing. A distance energy healing can happen in any timeframe simply with the healer's intention because all times exist at the same time, sort of like there exist many parallel universes. Each individual has a unique vibration depending on the timeframe, as every living being is changing each second we are alive. The individual characteristics plus the timeframe and location creates a unique signature vibration, which a distant healer can tune into and connect with. Given the flexibility of the time parameter, distance energy healings can be given for past, present or future times.

Next, the distance healer states their intention for the healing, which is normally a request from the person being healed. This sets an intention, focal point and timeframe for the exchange of healing energy for the distance healing session. At the beginning of a distance energy healing, the healer requests a connection with the person, place or animal using the unique identifiers and requested time and then trusts it is so and then tunes into feeling the energy moving in their own body and enters into a meditative state. The synchronization process of entrainment can be felt as a pulling and pushing force as the connection between the people establishes. It is like the synchronization of a large wave. This is like establishing a physical link or cord between the healer and the other being and only takes a minute or so. It is comparable to lying on of hands when physically present. After the link is established, there are several different ways to give distance healings. What I do is visualize myself as the person I am connected with and give an energy healing to my own body using reiki and acupressure techniques using my intuition as needed. As the distance healing goes on, vibration in both healer and person being healed increases and progresses through a natural cycle. The strongest vibration is generated around the 45-minute mark and energy typically is working strongly at this time in the mind with the most profound healing. After the session is complete, the healer requests that the connection that was established with the person or place be disconnected. 

After A Distance Healing
After a distance healing physical problems are corrected energetically, and later on the physical healing will occur when new cells are grown in the problem area. During a distance healing, some people are very sensitive to the energetic healing and feel much and others are not and feel nothing. You do not have to be able to feel the working energy in a session for it to be effective, it is working whether you feel it or not. Ability to feel the working energy increases with a higher awareness level. After a distant healing people often feel highly energized and refreshed. It is normal not to be able to sleep the first night after a distance healing, as the nervous system is highly energized. Even with a restless sleep, people awaken in the morning feeling very rested.

What qualities should I look for in a skilled distance healer?
A skilled distance healer should state that they have healed themselves and are continuing to work with their healing. Healing is not a one-time event and must be maintained like the good habit of brushing our teeth each day to prevent cavities. A healer that meditates and gives frequent energy healings will be maintaining a strong vibration. The distance healer should have the ability to build up a sufficient force in the body at the start or raise their vibration to a concentrated level. They should have the ability to quiet their mind and maintain steady focus for a sustained period of at least one hour. Distance healing can be very effective for healing all kinds of problems such as headaches, colds, helping people recover from operations or traumatic events, preventing illness, boost energy when facing stressful events, healing past events, healing pets and healing any kind of mental, emotional or physical problem. It is also very effective to increase self-awareness level so distance healing is a type of shaktipat and useful for any spiritual seeker to increase their awareness level. Every day distance healing is becoming more widely accepted into mainstream viewpoints about its effectiveness as more people experience it's benefits. Energy healing is a skill I encourage everyone to sample, learn, explore, and bring into their daily life for maintaining vibrant health and acute awareness.
