Distant energy healing, also known as remote healing and absent healing has been practiced by healers in the Far East for centuries.' In recent modern times many modalities of distant healing are being recognized and practiced in the West.' More and more people are turning to alternative healing therapies such as distant energy healing to enhance their health and well being.

Distant healing and energy healing therapy is being clinically studied in the West by places such as the California Pacific Medical Center in Northern California. China has done many scientific studies on the effectiveness of qigong distance healing by qigong healers.

One strict double blind study on almost 400 patients by cardiologist Robert Bryd determined that people who were prayed for had better outcomes than those who were not.'The field of Quantum Physics may provide some answers why distance healing works.'

In the early 1980's a team of scientists at the University of Paris led by Alain Aspect made an incredible discovery that may be one of the most important discoveries in modern science. They found that under certain circumstances some subatomic particles were able to communicate instantaneously with each other no matter how far apart they were from each other. It didn't matter if they were millions of miles apart.

In other research in 1997 Nicolas Gisan duplicated these findings and concluded that some particles appeared to be communicating at the mind boggling speed of 20,000 times the speed of light.

These conclusions may give clues as to why distance healing works. Well known quantum physicist David Bohm concluded the reasons why subatomic particles can stay in contact with each other despite vast distances is not because they are transmitting some unknown signal back and forth but because the separateness of the particles is an illusion. Bohm surmises that at a deeper level of reality the particles are not individual entities but are extensions of the same fundamental something and everything in the universe is infinitely interconnected.

Some scientists are now recognizing what mystics from many traditions have said for millennium, that we are all connected and that we are not separate.

Distant healing energy can get transferred over long distances because we are all connected. It doesn't make any difference if the one transmitting the energy is in a different state or country than the recipient.
