Distant Healing (also known as absent healing, spiritual healing, or faith healing) is a process initiated by a mental effort of one person who has an intention to improve well-being of another person, or to resolve a situation. Healing intention may be defined as a compassionate mental act directed toward the health and well-being of a distant person(s).
There are many distant healing techniques, including prayer, Shamanic healing, Therapeutic Touch, Reiki, Quantum Touch, Qigong, ThetaHealing, to name a few.
Distant healing can be applied to situations to support the best possible outcomes. Please join me in distant healing initiatives.
