What is Online Healing?

A. Rohlandt

The term online healing refers to alternative healing that is advertised or performed via an online platform or website. Healing energy can also be sent during an Internet-based chat, or web cam session. This also may be referred to as distance healing since it can be performed without seeing or touching the client. Some healing methods that are offered in this way are reiki, pranic healing, and quantum healing.

Many online healers have their own websites where they advertise their services and provide information about themselves, their qualifications, and the fees they charge. There are also websites that allow healers to create profiles. These sites sometimes charge a commission on services rendered.

Online healing can be performed from anywhere in the world, as long as the practitioner is trained. It is believed that energy is not limited by time or distance and that physical contact is not needed between the client and practitioner. This means that energy healing techniques do not require direct contact with the client to be effective, which makes it suitable for online sessions.

Reiki is one of the most popular types of distance healing offered online. The practitioner is trained to receive reiki energy and to sense the areas that require healing. Once this connection is made, the reiki energy can be channeled to the client, regardless of his or her location. Some practitioners send healing during a chat or web cam session, while others simply send healing once the client contacts them via e-mail.

Pranic healing works in much the same way as reiki in focusing on the energy fields around the body. Energy is used to manipulate and cleanse the aura and to help clear any energy blocks. This healing method can also be practiced via distance and is believed to be beneficial for a wide variety of health problems.

Quantum healing is also offered online, but it is not as common as the above-mentioned techniques. The practitioner connects with the client on an extrasensory level in order to affect the client’s energies and mindset. Quantum healing is believed to alter the mind so that changes in the body occur. It is a common belief that the mind can be used to control matter, and this is also the principle behind quantum healing.

Online healing can also be performed as part of an Internet-based psychic reading. Some psychics or intuitive advisers study distance healing techniques in order to assist their clients. In a situation where trauma or emotional distress is present, online healing can be given to help calm the client.
