Using a surrogate Teddy
- I am having amazing experiences using my teddy bear and working with people in other states as well as locally. I am blown away by the results. This is so awesome!

Distance healing
- I have had success with using a rough drawing of a body outline and a doll. I put the name of the patient on the drawing for focusing. We were 2 persons scanning a patient at the same time. One on a doll in a different room and one on the patient, marking our findings on drawings. After the scan, we compared notes and found a 90% correlation in our findings. The doll usually came slightly short because of the size being too small to make accurate diagnosis. Overall we found current and past injuries/problems on patients we have never seen before and known nothing about prior to the scanning. Old operations and accidents the patient had forgotten already. Scanning drawings and sending reiki to the person is my favourite. I once scanned my sister in law who lives 1000Km away after I got a sms that she was ill. I found areas over the stomach which were negative energy and found out later she had a stomach virus causing her much pain.

Strong connection
- I create a temporary cord with a person I am healing, usually straight to the heart chakra, but sometimes solar plexus and third eye. I ask the person to send me a photograph of themselves, usually a portrait and "find" them using their unique energy pattern. I like to organize a time when I do the healing and make sure that this person is relaxed and receptive for that time, sometime I have a conversation with the person via messenger whilst I am sending, so I get a direct feedback of how they feel. Everything I do is purely on intuitive level, I have not been taught how to do it, but it always works, especially with the emotional problems and chakra blockages, also the removal of unnecessary or damaging cords, even when I know nothing about the person I am healing, apart from their name.

Absentia healing
- I have used crystals for distant healing as it is very effective. I coorelate the colour of the chakras with the crystals as well as use my intuition if any additional crystals are required at the time of healing and it has been very effective for the patient. For eg: I had a couple who were childless for about 8 years staying in US. I am in India Mumbai I used crystals in their photos for two 21 days session. She was also a heart patient, she conceived and had a baby girl and today the child is 2 years. Like this I have handled many cases with or without photo, with crystals.

It's all in your intention
- Anything can represent the person you're sending Reiki to. It doesn't matter what you use. It is all in the intention that you set with the Universe. I often use a finger to represent a person. If I'm sending to more than one person at a time, I can either use one finger for each person, or write everyone's names on a list and send Reiki to the list. For more specific healing, I use my body to represent theirs and send to each area of the body with that person in mind.

Intention
- I have always sent Love and Energy to anyone in need right from my heart center just imagining the person receiving it through all the chakras and it has always worked wonders. I believe intention is most important. May the God in me greet the God in You. With Love, Mila

Animal Reiki & Surrogates
- I'm an animal communicator & reiki practitioner. Almost all my reiki treatments are absentia. I don't feel that using a surrogate is necessary, but that it can be helpful as a focal point. My preferred method is to use a photo of the animal (usually a client's pet). I do the same for animal communication. Photos make it easy for me to "tune in."

Surrogate Reiki
- I use myself under protective energy, I am an empath, intuitive, clarivoyant and sensitive. I use all etheric energies to boost the Reiki intent along with guidance from many ascended masters as I see and hear them. They allow me to know and understand, we speak and the Akashic information is provided as needed. Namaste, Silvershaman, much Metta

Distance Reiki
- I have used he teddy bear/stuffed animal approach and sent reiki without the bear, just imagining that I am holding the person in my hands or just imagining them laying in front of me. Both work. The client feels amazing results and it's really nice to run into them the next day and see them all clear and glowing. I have seen amazing healing. I actually prefer distance healing because I can focus better. I am able to put a hand on either side of the chakra (because the bear or imagined person is much smaller) This way, I can feel when the energy clears. I had a reiki teacher (a man) who was strong enough to put one hand on the front of my body and one underneath at each chakra and this is a really good, efficient way to do reiki. I can't do this unless I have a really small person on my table since I have a bum shoulder. Using the bear technique, I can do it from home with amazing results. Often, I work on someone in the Philippines and he says it's just like being in my clinic.

Teddy Bear for Distance Attunements
- I've done distance attunements using a teddy bear. Also used a bear to send distance Reiki... works great.

Teddy bears and other methods
- I've used a teddy bear (large one!) and could clearly feel "hot spots" coming through from the intended recipient. I've also used simply a photo or a folded list of names and intentions which I hold between my hands - and can always feel the heat buildup... imo, it doesn't really matter what one uses - or even necessarily that one uses some "thing" - but that the intention is there... I've even developed the habit of using the steering wheel of my car as a surrogate when I'm driving - to represent my entire distance list - set the intention before I start out, and then just let it flow! Keeps my hands on the wheel, and sends a little extra dose when I'm on the way somewhere... (-: I'm a firm believer in Reiki being "a way of life" - not just something I "do" at certain times and places - and the more I use it, the more ways I see to use it. Namaste!

Empathic Reiki Practitioner
- I can feel the pull of energies flowing from my palms when giving Reiki to someone across the miles as strongly as I normally would in person. I focus on the person receiving and can sense the location on their body the Reiki is flowing to, the head, stomach, legs, or wherever. I enjoy the connection over distances.
