It was 3:20pm on a Friday afternoon in New Jersey, and I was trying to shift my energy field to a stranger in California. At least that’s how Francis Naudet, founder of Four Nobles Holistic Healing, explained long-distance Reiki to me the night before my session. Sitting in his Laguna Beach home, Naude first unrolls some crystals, then plans to run his hands over the formations, as if they were shrunken, shiny versions of my body.
