Animal Reiki – Holistic Healing for Your Pet

The Power of Reiki for Your Pet’s Natural Health Care

Reiki is a healing treatment that is painless and gentle. Additionally, it delivers a powerful healing punch to humans and animals alike. In fact, animal Reiki is possibly more effective on pets than people because animals have a higher energy frequency in their bodies than people.

What is Reiki?

The word Reiki is derived from two Japanese words, Rei (ray) translating to “universal consciousness” and Ki (key) meaning “life energy.” The ancient method was restored to practice in Japan and is now gaining popularity in the Western world, as well.

Animal Reiki is a versatile treatment with the ability to treat both chronic and acute physical pain, mental instability and emotional trauma. Reiki treatment is based on the idea that there is a line of energy running through every living thing. This means that Reiki can provide help to anything that is alive. Areas of energy gather into metaphorical pools in certain areas of the body, known as chakras. Humans have seven chakras while animals share these seven with an additional eighth chakra. Physical, mental or emotional pain and trauma can block off chakras, inhibiting the flow of energy to other areas of the body. Reiki is a treatment designed to open up these blocked channels and restore balance to the flow of energy throughout the body.

The benefits of an animal reiki healing session for your pet

The benefits of animal Reiki can be seen immediately, even during the session itself. The animals can become relaxed during treatment. They may even fall asleep! Sometimes the opposite effect takes place and the animal is energized and invigorated from the treatment. Different reactions are the result of each specific animal and the problem that is incapacitating them. A Reiki healing session can vary in length from only five or ten minutes to well over an hour. The difference depends on how much healing the animal needs and how responsive they are to the treatment.

An animal reiki healing session ends when the animal has absorbed all the energy it instinctively knows it needs and slowly gets up and walks away. Many times an animal that has just completed treatment will say “thanks” with a nose nuzzle or gentle lick. It is truly fascinating to watch a session and observe the flows of energy opening up and being restored to a healthy level. Remember that while the benefits of animal Reiki are undeniable and are sure to support the best natural heath of your pet, it should be used as a complimentary remedy alongside regular veterinary care.
