How to Send Healing Energy to Someone

When someone we love is going through a tough time, it's only natural that we want to help them in any way we can. But what do you do when you can't be there in person? That's where sending healing energy comes in. By focusing your energy and intentions toward the other person, you can help them heal from afar. Here's how:

1. First, find a comfortable place to sit or lie down. You may want to light some candles or incense, or play some calming music to create a peaceful atmosphere. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to center yourself.

2. Once you feel grounded, bring your awareness to your breath and let go of any thoughts or distractions that are floating around in your head. Now it’s time to raise and gather your healing power. Breathing deeply, feel the clean, vital energy of the earth and sky flowing into your body until you have more than enough to share with the person who needs it. Set the intention that this person receives your healing energy and allow it to flow freely. Trust that the universe will deliver your message and let go of any attachment to the outcome.

3. Visualize the person or animal you wish to send healing energy to. Picture them surrounded by a bright white light. See the light entering their body and filling them with peace, love, and healing. Alternatively, you can picture different colors of light depending on what type of healing you want to send. For example, green is associated with physical healing, while pink is associated with emotional healing. Don't worry too much about the color and shape of the light being "correct"--the visualization is simply an aid for shaping your intention.

4. Once you have a clear image in your mind of the person or animal surrounded by healing light, hold that image for a few minutes while repeating a mantra such as "you are safe, you are loved, you are healed." Do not "push" or force energy onto the person--this can be disruptive in certain situations, such as when a sick person needs rest. Instead, hold the energy near them where they can access as much or as little as they need. Their energetic body (and yours) will know what to do with it.

You can also add your own personal touch by imagining specific things for the person or animal. For example, if they are dealing with a physical illness, you might visualize the light growing like branches and leaves to restore their health and vitality. If they are going through an emotional rough patch, you might imagine pure liquid light washing away their sadness and pain. 

5. When you're finished, open your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Thank the universe for its assistance in sending healing energy. You may want to journal about your experience or meditate on it further before moving on with your day. Although you’ve decided not to expect it (see step #2), don’t be surprised if you get a call or a text from your loved one saying that they’re feeling much better!

Sending healing energy is a powerful way to show your support for someone who is going through a tough time--even if they're far away. By taking some time to center yourself and focus on the person in need, you can help them physically, emotionally, and spiritually. So next time someone pops into your mind that could use some extra love and light, don't hesitate to send them some healing energy!
