What is Animal Reiki?

Reiki is an energy healing technique in which a Reiki master uses gentle hand movements with the intention to guide the flow of healthy energy (what’s known in Reiki as life force energy) through the pet’s body to reduce stress and promote healing. The animal is an equal partner in the healing process, free to move about during a healing session, receiving only the healing energy he or she needs not what we humans think the animal needs. Reiki is just as effective from a distance as it is hands-on, hands-on reiki is only initiated by the animal.

Reiki compliments your animal’s health and wellness because it is safe, noninvasive and heals on some level even if we do not see it, promoting a sense of harmony, peacefulness and overall well-being, which allows the animal’s body to heal itself.
