Did you know that distant healing, or non-local healing, uses meditation methods? It has been practiced since ancient times by Far Eastern healers and teachers as a spiritual healing art form.

Mystics in many of the world traditions have long recognized distant healing, using it as part of their meditative practice. And meditation has been called many things including, "practicing the presence". When used to heal, either by spiritual intent such as prayer or in distant contemplation such as meditation, it is truly practicing the presence of oneness.

Yet we also know, thanks to the body of work by renowned physician, Dr. Larry Dossey, M.D., that a new language is required for the successful merging of spirit with western medicine, which traditionally relies on the empiracal data of Neutonian physics. Since western medicine shies away from terms that tend to be loosely applied by many practitioners of distant or non-local healing, perhaps we are due for some new thought on how to discuss this healing art form, especially while under examination in clinical studies. See Spiritual Healing and the Non-local Gap.

Today, energy healing modalities like distant healing are being practiced in the West in response to patients' preference. As we've witnessed modern Western medicine integrate with traditional Eastern medicine, we've seen the advent of clinical trials on the efficacy of energy medicine, including distant healing¹.

People know, from the fire core of their being, that each of us is one with all life, without needing the confirmation of Neutonian physics, or even quantum physics scientists, some of whom recognize this as fact: that we are connected.
