Reiki For Animals

Reiki for Animals

 

Animals can absolutely

be treated and comforted with Reiki energy. No one

knows exactly what an animal experiences during a Reiki session,

but something

in them seems to let go and relax. They normally will become

very still and

seem to sense that something very special is taking place, and

gratefully take

the energy in.

Animals respond

very well to Reiki, and just like humans, Reiki can be used for

all

types of illnesses, injuries and emotional problems. Reiki can

accelerate the healing

process of animals, ease pain, and improve or help to continue

their quality of life.

The healing principles

of Reiki are the same whether you are treating

a family member, your neighbor, a complete stranger, or an animal.

The Reiki

energy flows just the same in all cases.

Animal anatomy is very similar to human anatomy, so you can usually

judge

hand positions fairly easily if you are trying to treat specific

organs.

It is very unusual

to encounter an animal who will not readily accept Reiki.

In addition, they usually show you by their body positions where

to place

your hands; be aware of how they turn their body towards your

hands. As with humans,

if you find an area on an animal that seems to draw a lot of

energy, spend more time

on that area.

It is always a

good idea to treat an animals endoctrine glands. (Pineal and

Pituitary, Thyroid and Thymus, Adrenals, Pancreas, Gonads and

Ovaries).

Absentee healings can be done if the animal is very restless,

or seems too

dangerous for a hands-on treatment. A good way to soothe an animal

before

treating is to pet and softly stroke the animal. Once the animal

has relaxed,

follow your intuition as to the hand placements.

Reiki can delay

the onset and progression of certain diseases in animals, and

can energize and revitalize older animals. For dying animals,

Reiki is a powerful

yet gentle way to provide comfort, relief from pain, fear, and

anxiety, and to ease

the transition to death.

Reiki practitioners

know that Reiki affects body, spirit and soul, and as such it

is

very good to use on pets with behavior problems or those with

signs of abuse.

Understand that abused pets won't usually want to be touched

at first. Try talking

to them in a soothing voice. Use slow movements, and try beaming

Reiki to the animal.

Once they feel the Reiki energy they tend to calm down, sometimes

very quickly.

Pets, especially

cats and dogs, will usually remain lying down during the Reiki

session for as long as they need the healing. When they've had

enough they usually will

stand up or move away. Normally, 20 to 30 minutes is plenty for

an animal.

Generally animals

like being touched behind the ears, on the head, above the eyes,

and under the chin, but also like to be touched on the belly,

chest and back.

Following are some suggestions for treating animals:

Birds: Put your hands on the bird cage,

or hold the bird in one hand with the other

hand over top.

Fish: Place your hands on the fish tank.

Cats and Dogs: Place your hands behind the ears,

One hand on top of the head and

the other under the throat, Hands on the belly, back, hips, or

specific organs.

You can also treat injured or pain areas directly or through

bandages.

Horses and Cows: Between the eyes, on the head, behind

the ears, back, hips, the neck,

and directly on injured areas and over bandages.

Zoo animals

or emergency cases:

If possible use hands-on treatments. If not, use distance healing.

*Reiki will also

help speed the healing process for animals who have undergone

surgery.*

If you have a pet,

experiment with giving them Reiki. I'm sure you will find that

they will

enjoy the loving energy of Reiki. It's also a good way to maintain

your pet's health.
