What Is Reiki?
Reiki comes from 2 Japanese words: “Rei” meaning universal wisdom and “Ki” meaning life force energy (like ‘Chi’ or ‘Prana’). Reiki is the gentle channelling of energy through the hands to restore balance to the body.
How Can Reiki Help My Animal?
Reiki supports the body’s natural ability to heal by releasing blockages in the chakra system and consequently easing emotional or physical misalignments.
It offers deep relaxation and relief (and does not interfere with any medication). Animal reiki can help with:
Physical complaints - for example, skin conditions, joint problems, arthritis, ear problems, digestive upsets and infections. Reiki can be used safely alongside any medication prescribed by your vet.
Emotional concerns - like grief, trauma, aggression. Just like us, animals can suffer from stress; healing can help release emotions so the animal feels more comfortable in themselves and in their surroundings.
Pre/Post Surgery - Reiki provides comfort/relief so can help prepare your animal for surgery as well as aid their recovery.
Maintaining balance and well-being … helping your animal live joyfully!
It’s Your Animal’s Choice!
All animals have freewill to choose to receive reiki … or to refuse it! In my experience, animals love it. They are usually much more ready to let go of stress/strain than us humans! Please note that Reiki it is not a substitute for vet/medical attention. I am not a qualified vet so cannot diagnose medical conditions.
How It Works
Here’s what to expect in an Animal Reiki session:
For ‘in-person’ sessions, I’ll come to your home - as animals are usually more relaxed on home-turf. We will be wherever your animal is most comfortable – the lounge, their stable etc.
Ideally it will be quiet, so your animal wont be disturbed/interrupted. You are welcome to be in the room, in fact I encourage this, particularly for the first session.
I'll sit near your animal and begin offering Reiki energy to them. Your animal may need a few minutes to get used to the feeling of the energy coming through, they might want to adjust where they sit/stand/lie down; they are free to come and go. Your animal then chooses how they wish the treatment to proceed – if they want ‘hands-on’ they might position themself under/closer to my hands or they may choose to enjoy the treatment from a short distance. Or a mixture of the two!
Sessions usually last up to 1 hour, according to the animal’s needs, and cost £30.
