Remote healing session

So I started. I have never done remote healing, but it was extremely powerful in the way it worked. I first started collecting violet light on me, on my whole body, and creating a big ball of energy on my hands. I pictured in front of me the person I wanted to send the energy to, and first I just lifted my hands with the energy ball and poured it onto his head. I did that a couple of times.

I then remembered that a friend of mine, one day I was a bit sick, just tried to steal the "sick" energy from me and send it away. So I placed a hand on his heart chakra, and another on his head, and asked him to give me the illness. What happened later was amazing, his chakra started expulsing a very "nasty" energy on my hands, I tried to collect all of it and suddenly I noticed Terra Gaia, the Earth, telling me to send it to her. "I know what to do with the energy" she said, so I put my hands with the "bad" energy down to the floor, and send it to Gaia for transmutation. On every try, I filled myself again with white energy to protect my aura from absorbing the illness myself, and after a few more tries, I just stopped and cleaned myself again.

I have no idea is this worked or not, I can not ask that person directly, but I guess I will notice the results. There is something I did not, ask permission to his higher self to see if that person wanted to be healed or not. But as it worked, I assume now that the permission was granted even if I forgot to ask for it.
After yesterday’s experience, I am more interested about remote healing, and have decided to learn a bit more about Reiki, which is the most powerful tool I think exist to do this. I am going to keep trying to heal fully that person with more sessions. I thank Gaia and my guides for all the help I got yesterday, it was indeed an extreme great meditation!.
