Some Reiki teachers contend that attunements can not be sent from a distance. The most common explanation I have encountered for this is that the teacher must be present to channel the energy for the student. I, however, disagree on this issue. As a Reiki Master Teacher, I have performed numerous distant attunements and all of them have been quite successful. Since I don't know all the reasons why some say it can't be done, I can't address them but I can address why I believe it is possible to send a distant attunement.
When I was training to become a Reiki Teacher, I was taught that the most important ingredient in an attunement is intent, and this holds true of every other aspect of Reiki as well. I learned that when I gave an attunement I was only acting as a channel for the energy and that the attunement would be carried to the student through my intent. This description sounds exactly like a distant Reiki session and I have yet to come across a Reiki Teacher or practitioner of level 2 or higher that disputes the ability to send Reiki from a distance. So the logical question arises--if I am acting as a channel for the Reiki energy during a distant session and it is carried to the client, why couldn't I act as a channel for a distant attunement and have that energy carried to the student as well? In my experience, this is exactly what happens.
I know the idea of working from a distance sounds quite unusual. After all, how can energy be sent from point to another? My theory on this (I am not a scientist but I have done some reading on this subject) is that since electromagnetic fields extend infinitely into space at the speed of light and thoughts are measurable electromagnetic fields, then thought (intention) is capable of traveling everywhere at the speed of light. [ref. The Energy Healing Experiments by Dr. Gary E Schwartz. Pg. 22, 26]. So now the question arises--if a Reiki session or attunement is traveling everywhere all at once, why doesn't everyone in the world receive it? One possible explanation is a quantum physics concept known as Wave-Particle Duality. Wave-Particle Duality is the concept that all matter and energy behave like both a wave and a particle. A wave can be thought of as radiant energy and a particle as being matter. They exist on the one hand in states which evolve like waves when they are not observed, and like particles when observed. The key is the observation. So it is possible that when a Reiki practitioner focuses on a single client during a session or a teacher focuses on a student for an attunement, since the observation is on that individual, only that person will see a result. I definitely don't know for sure that this is how sessions and attunements work over a distance but it it's one possibility.
I learned in my first Reiki class that Reiki is unlimited and it certainly has shown itself to be that way in my experiments with it. One thing that is very clear to me is that, regardless of the mechanism, my experience and the experiences of many, many other Reiki Teachers show that attunements can definitely be sent over a distance.
