Reiki pronounced (RAY-KEY) is Japanese for universal life
force energy. Reiki is healing energy which flows through the
practitioner and out through her/his hands. This gentle method of
healing usually results in a totally relaxed animal. Reiki un-blocks
energy and assists the body in optimizing healing wherever it is
needed.
What does Reiki feel like?
During a treatment, the client usually feels a warm sensation, or
one that feels ‘tingly’ on the areas that are touched. Others feel
no sensation at all. Most animals enjoy Reiki but some are not
comfortable with the sensations and may get up or move away from the
practitioner’s hands. I have four cats, and two are not comfortable
receiving Reiki for whatever reason. I cannot stress how important
it is to respect the animal’s wishes and not ‘push’ Reiki. Reiki
should never be imposed, but willingly accepted. You will know what
your animal’s wishes are the moment Reiki begins flowing through the
practitioner’s hands.
Does Reiki conflict with Christianity or other religious teachings?
Reiki healing, like veterinary medicine, is not tied to any particular religion, and
is practiced by members of all faiths. Many Christians in particular see Reiki as an opportunity to
follow the teaching and examples of Jesus healing the sick. The ability use Reiki to do
good works for people and their pets is a wonderful gift, and
we at ReikiPets.com have seen and heard so many stories of Reiki making a positive
difference in the lives of friends, neighbors, and even strangers thousands of miles away,
that we encourage people to discover what Reiki can do for them. We also teach that
as one of God's gifts, Reiki is available to everyone to learn and use to make the
world a better place.
Will my animal’s problem/issue clear up immediately?
It
would be highly uncommon for your animal to clear up all of his/her
issues after just one Reiki session. What you will notice after the
first session is a feeling of deep relaxation. in your animal.
He/she may let out a deep sigh or go into a deep sleep. Some animals
have actually snored as I worked on them. With equines, the most
common response is licking and chewing, yawning and stretching. It’s
advisable to let all animals rest for 24 hours or more following a
Reiki session as the energy continues to work through them.
It is
important to note that Reiki works for the Animal’s Highest Good. If
there are underlying causes to a particular problem, Reiki will
attend to those first. There is no set time table for results
although many owners report seeing movement after four to five
sessions.
Reiki is a complementary therapy
Reiki is not meant to be a replacement for good veterinary
medicine but as a complement to it.
