What is Animal Reiki?
For many years Reiki has been traditionally used for humans as a holistic, natural way to relieve stress, relax and heal. Reiki is a Japanese word that means” Soul Energy” or “Spiritual Life Energy”. Rei meaning “Soul” or “Spiritual Life” and Ki meaning “Energy”. Through the years it has been discovered that animals absolutely love Reiki and benefit from it greatly! Animal Reiki is a natural healing modality, a meditative practice, that is available for all types of animals for all types of reasons. Reiki can be a wonderful way to soothe and comfort nervous and fearful animals, animals in pain, ones who have suffered trauma, and those who experience anxiety, depression and stress. Animal Reiki can be a great support to animals that are shelter animals as it helps build trust again with humans. It also offers great support to senior animals and to animals preparing for their transition. Animal Reiki can also be done at a distance for those animals that are unable to be touched, moved, aggressive or wild. Our animals live in the here and now, and they understand healing energy and its benefits immediately. Some will actually come looking for it! It is amazing !
Using Reiki with animals can effectively address any problem an animal may face: physical, mental, and emotional. By offering our animals all the benefits of Animal Reiki we are giving something back to our animals for all the healing, joy, laughter, unconditional love they give to us!
Animal Reiki is a Meditative Practice
Many people have been led to believe that Human Reiki and Animal Reiki are the same but that could not be further from the truth.
Reiki with animals is not about " channeling "energy, "beaming" energy or applying hand placements that are commonly used in human Reiki.
Approaching an animal with your arms and hands stuck out forcing hand placements with expectations and a mindset that you are a healer and you are going to “fix” what's wrong or what you may think is wrong with an animal is in no way the correct approach. Not only will you have an unsuccessful experience, but by having that intention could scare the animal and may cause them to run away. It is important to understand letting go of ego and all expectations are necessary during the process of sharing and offering Reiki with animals and with people!
Animal Reiki treatments are not dependent on or upon physical contact for success!
When working with animals, it is best to begin by respecting their sensitivities and allowing them to lead in the healing process by coming forward on their own.
When we work with animals we work in partnership with them. Before offering Reiki, the practitioner should always begin by asking permission of the animal, look for signs of acceptance and respect the animal's decision to accept or refuse the offering of Reiki.
*Reiki is not a substitute for medical diagnosis and treatment.Reiki practitioners do not diagnose conditions, nor do they prescribe substances, nor interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional.Reiki practitioners do not manipulate energy or control the treatments with animals.
Energetic Harmony and Balance are the Essences of Reiki
Animal Reiki is to NEVER be forced upon an animal, nor any hand placements unless the animal initiates it. From an ethical standpoint, we respectfully owe it to our animals to let them lead the way by giving them the freedom to choose and accept healing at their own pace. Through training and experience, a practitioner will know the signs of acceptance to look for upon treatment and allow the animal to decide whether or not they want to accept the Reiki treatment.
Since animals are attracted to Reiki energy, most of the time they do accept the offering of Reiki, however, some may reject at that time or need to go at their OWN pace. That is why it is so important to let the animal lead.
Like humans, animals have their own healing path to follow. When working with animals, it is best to begin by respecting their sensitivities and allowing them to lead in the healing process by coming forward on their own.
