Hey Reader, The moment a practitioner shares their distance work feels less potent than in-person sessions, I already have understanding of what's happening. They're trying to send energy across space like it's a package through the mail. And it's nothing they're doing "wrong". I understand it, because that was my experience of distance Reiki too, for many years. This is exactly what practitioners have said to me repeatedly recently. "It feels surface.

Hey Reader, If you're like some of my Spirit-led Reiki Pathway graduates (.. you might not be - the beauty here is take what resonates for you & leave the rest), you've tried everything to fix the depletion.
