Remote Bowen Healing
Distance healing, or remote healing, as it’s also called involves sending healing to a person.
For example, healing can be given through personal sessions where the client is present or through distance healing. As the name suggests, the client and practitioner are not together during the remote healing session. In fact, the healer and the client may not even be in the same country. The distance doesn’t really matter.
The healing is possible as energy healing doesn’t require close proximity.
The energy is transferred to the person receiving the treatment through Intention. It’s all about the power of intention, the belief of the healer and the receptivity of the receiver.
So, how does this work?
Let’s take for example how electricity works. Electricity, being energy, is usually generated in one location (power station) and transmitted to another location to supply power to buildings, streets and so forth. The electricity travels along power lines to bring the energy to specific and far-reaching locations.
Energy healing works like this also but using invisible energetic lines or meridians for the healing energy to travel along.
The healer however doesn’t generate the energy or uses their own energy. They simply channel universal life force to the person or situation. The person receiving the treatment must always agree to the healing first.
A call first to prepare the client and to encourage a relaxed state that will not be disturbed and any distractions like phones turned to airplane mode. Should the client have time restrictions post-treatment, an alarm to gently bring them back out of rest can be used. A chat post-treatment or email communication can help.
To get a better understanding of how this works, we need to look at the way in which we function energetically.
Each of us has several energetic bodies or levels, starting with the physical body. The physical body is made up of meridians and energy centres called chakras. There are seven major chakras and numerous minor chakras found throughout the body. The chakras or energy centres allow us to give and receive energy, which we are doing all the time even if we are not aware of it. This happens each time we meet someone. Take, for example, when you meet someone for the first time and feel an instant connection with them. Your frequency or vibration is a match to theirs.
Other levels include the emotional field, where our emotions reside, the mental body which houses our thoughts and mental processes and the spiritual body. There are a number of layers to the spiritual body which is associated with our spiritual needs. The energy field or aura is made up of all these energetic bodies.
When we realise that we are not just a physical body and that there is much more going on than we realise, we can begin to understand how distance healing works.
The practitioner uses great intention to heal the client. This focus is what makes the treatment work as well as one-on-one treatments. Think of this intention to heal as similar to someone praying for another.
During remote healing, the practitioner tunes into the client's energy and intends that the healing goes where it is most needed.
Distance healing can be very powerful and effective. It's a useful way to send healing, particularly if a client is incapacitated or if the client and healer are located at a distance. Distance healing can also be used after a one-to-one healing session if the client needs additional support.
What to Expect
A remote healing treatment works in a similar way as an in-person healing session.
The treatment can last up to an hour but usually is given during shorter 30-minute sessions.
We first talk over the phone or video call. We may do some guided breathing or meditation to help you deeply relax.
We will then pause or end the call, and I will begin the distant Bowen treatment.
You then relax in a comfortable position and practice meditating or becoming still. You'll be in a quiet place, without distractions or interruptions – just as it would be in your regular therapy in my clinic room.
Often people experience similar sensations during the treatment such as feelings of heat or coolness or tingling. Others report feelings of deep relaxation and peace.
After the healing, I'll give feedback by email or phone and offer guidance and advice when relevant.
We will speak again later to discuss what has been done and aftercare.
