A Reiki Second Level Healer or a Reiki Master Healer can use the Reiki distance-healing symbol Hon Sha Ze Sho Nen (pronounced as "Hon-Sha-Zee-Show-Nen") for:

• Sending Reiki Healing to help people who live far away.
• Sending Reiki Healing to people across the room.
• Sending Reiki Healing into the future to help a future event or with a specific task.
• Send Reiki healing into the past to help heal any circumstances, which, in turn, will have a domino healing effect into the present and future.

When you use the Reiki distance-healing symbol, time and distance have no meaning. Most Reiki Healers believe that the distance-healing symbol is the most helpful and powerful symbol of Reiki.

Each Reiki Healer will do distance healing in a different way. Basically, you have to visualize the person or circumstances (past, present, or future) to whom you want to send healing. If you have a photo, you can use that or you can imagine the person or you can simply send it to someone you barely know, but who 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 Reiki.
