Animal Reiki Practitioner's Approach

---

Reiki for animals is a safe and natural healing practice which can be used to help dogs, cats, horses, and other type of animals with a wide range of issues and conditions ALONG with their traditional veterinary care.

This can also be used as a stand-alone treatment to enhance your pet’s overall peace and well-being. The benefits of Reiki for pets are the same as those for humans, although Reiki sessions for animals are typically done in a slightly different way. 

As the animal reiki practitioner, I listen to and honor the animal’s preferences and choices. My main focus is to create a calm and peaceful space through meditation and simply invite the animal in, if they wish to share the space. 

I focus on a non-judgmental, All-is-Well state of mind, without focusing on the areas that need “fixing.” The animal will have the choice to say “No” and leave, to say “Maybe” and stay in the vicinity and observe until they feel trusting, or to say “Yes” and participate in the ways that make them feel comfortable. 

In this method, there is no “right way to behave.” The animal can move, can explore their environment, can take breaks from the space, and can choose whether or not to make physical contact. 

Some benefits animals may receive from a reiki energy session:

• Stress reduction
• Increased energy
• Reduction of pain
• Emotional release
• Help with behavioral problems
• Deepen the relationship and bond between pets and their humans

What are some things you may notice about your pet/animal following a session?

Understand that circumstances vary widely from animal to animal. Many animals, however, may go into a deeper, more restful sleep as a result of the session. Depending on the circumstance, the animal may also show signs of being more playful, light-hearted, and have an increase in appetite. It is important to understand that the benefits of a Reiki session may also appear long after a session has been received. Results may not always be initially visible.  I highly recommend to watch and document changes in your pet after a session.  I will follow-up after a session to check in on your pet and discuss any changes and address any questions you may have as results from the session.

End of Life Transition:

Reiki may increase overall comfort, facilitating a sense of calm acceptance and a more peaceful transition.
