Reiki For Animals You Say?

Animals can easily be treated and comforted with Reiki energy. It is hard to tell how animals experience Reiki, but they do relax during a session. Animals tend to become still and seem to sense that something special is taking place, and they often help by moving their body to show the practitioner where to put their hands. Pets, especially cats and dogs will often remain lying down during the Reiki session for as long as they need the healing. When they have had enough they will move away. Around 20-30 minute session is ample for an animal. 

 

Reiki works the same whether you are treating, animals, children, a stranger or a family member; the Reiki energy flows just the same in all cases. Since animal and human anatomy is similar, the practitioner can judge hand positions fairly easily when they are trying to treat something specific. Reiki is especially easy to administer to animals who are used to regular grooming such as cats, dogs, horses etc. But even animals that are not usually groomed such as fish or birds can benefit with distant Reiki. Animals respond well to Reiki, and like humans, Reiki can be used for all types of illnesses and injuries and even emotional and behavioural problems. An interesting side-effect of performing Reiki on sick animals, is that it helps their human companions too

Reiki can help accelerate the healing process, ease pain and improve their quality of life. Reiki can also delay the onset and progression of certain diseases and can help revitalise older animals. For animals who are dying, Reiki is a gentle way to provide comfort, relief from pain fear and anxiety and ease the transition. 

 

Ideal times to give Reiki to animals are:

• When they are ill: Reiki helps the healing process and works with any type of medical intervention.
• When they are young or old: You can use Reiki on an animal of any age or situation. But the young and old have special needs, which Reiki can be beneficial for.
• When they have been through a trauma: It can be obvious like an accident, a move, abuse or loss. However, even if you don't know exactly what the problem, is you can use Reiki to help.

Have you used Reiki on your animals? How did you know it was effective? What was the issue that you were trying to help with? If you have a pet that would benefit from Reiki, please get in contact, I would be honoured to help.

What is Reiki Used For?

So what are the benefits of Reiki? What do you use Reiki for? How do I know when I need Reiki?

I found a great summary here of Reiki Benefits: 
Reiki works on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels, and can help you enhance every aspect of your life. For example:

• Reiki calms. It reduces stress, and provides deep relaxation, comfort & peace. It supports good health and vitality.
• Reiki may bring spiritual clarity.
• Reiki offers relief during emotional distress and sorrow. Reiki helps in the grieving process. It cleans and clears the emotions from being so draining and offers perspective.
• Reiki relieves pain.
• Reiki can improve good blood circulation and stop small bleedings.
• Reiki can cleanse organs (liver, kidneys, arteries, spleen, gall bladder, lungs & heart).
• Reiki is safe to treat sympthoms of imbalance: chronic and acute conditions, stress related disorders, conditions related to sinus, menopause, migraine, cystitis, asthma, chronic fatigue, arthritis, back sciatica, insomnia and depression - to name a few.
• Reiki speeds up recovery from surgery or long-term illness. As it tends to reduce side-effects, it helps in adjusting to medicine/treatment. For example, Chemo-therapy patients who received Reiki noticed a marked  decrease in side effects from treatment. Reiki can also be put directly in medicine (as well as food and water).
• Reiki purifies environments, and can facilitate the removal of bad energy or pestering spirits from an office, house, garden, room, etc.
• Reiki helps athletes to heal faster from injury faster and to perform better.
• Reiki is for everyone: it helps heal adults, elderly, babies (on mother's stomach), toddlers, children and pets.
• Reiki for pets? Yes, pets may be helped in their recovery from stress, separation anxiety, trauma, and illness. Treat your pet with a dose of distant healing following doctor's treatment. 


Reiki is fantastic emotionally and spiritually.  It can encourage letting go of tension, fear and anxiety or other negative emotions. This is why it has been called 'a secret art of inviting happiness into your life.' This alone can be life changing for some people. Reiki also assists in the purification and the cleansing of the energy pathways; the meridians, nadis, chakras as well as the aura. It is also very beneficial to people who are working on personal and/or spiritual growth.

So you can see there are many, many benefits of Reiki, I find it hard to believe there would be someone it doesn't benefit. If I can assist you in any of the above or in any other way, I would be honoured.

You’ve seen it all, heard it all, even done it all and you are still no closer to finding what makes you happy!

You know what you want to be like, you’ve read all the self-help books, but I am
going to say here and now STOP RIGHT NOW YOU ARE WASTING YOUR TIME!
The answers are already inside of you, and all that is required is for someone to
shine the light on the answers so you can say “OMG Of course!”

Imagine the AB’s reading a few rugby books and then taking the field against the
Wallabies… can you imagine the next day’s headlines – AB’s FAIL again!

This doesn’t happen for a very good reason… because there is a coach. That one
person that shines the light on their talents provides them with the ‘how to’,
the ‘from where I am standing I see…” the “did you know you could…?”

The coach – your coach is right here and available every week to tap into.
So if you want to stop smoking, lose weight, become a better parent/partner/friend
colleague/ business owner you can this is for you.

The P.E.A.C.E Programme is based on finding Perfection, Excellence, Abundance,
Courage, and Excitement in your life that allows you to achieve the goals you
are too scared to set in case of failure.

If you were asked that age old question “if you were guaranteed NOT to fail, what
would you do?”

The AB’s don’t fail because of the self-belief in themselves that is supported by
their coach. Their talents have the opportunity to shine through and achieve
amazing results on the rugby field.

Now let’s get together and begin to shine the light on you and how when you get rid
of all of the uncertainty, the doubts, the self-depreciating and the negativity
what YOU CAN ACHIEVE!

Book now to secure your place on the next available course beginning 23rd April 2012. Each student will receive a certificate of achievement on completion of the course along with a FREE Surprise Gift – that will inspire you and remind you of your Goal for Inner Peace.

What Reiki is NOT

There are a lot of misconceptions about Reiki. When the uninitiated hear the word 'Reiki', it's likely that a few inaccuracies will pop into their mind. I am going to debunk a few common misconceptions:

Is Reiki some kind of new healing 'voodoo' that only the gullible fall for?

The short answer is no, it can't heal you directly like taking panadol for a headache. It can't heal a specific issue like cancer or MS. Reiki should be considered more like an additional support to other methods of therapy. Reiki helps the body to aid itself in releasing stress and tension by creating deep relaxation. It can help accelerate healing and assist the body in cleansing toxins.

In addition, Reiki is not 'new, nor a 'fad', it has been around a long time, Reiki was developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui.

Is it some kind of weird offshoot of Tai Chi?

Tai chi is a martial art, it is gentle exercise that tends to encourage calm and peace with your self and the world. All the while gaining strength, balance, and flexibility. Reiki on the other hand is a hands-off gentle approach which yes, like tai chi works with chi, or life energy, but there are no moves or postures involved.

Is Reiki a religion?

This is a common misconception. No, Reiki is not a religion, nor a sect. There is no god in Reiki, no deities, no prayers. Reiki is about moving energy and thus, it's no religion at all. You can use Reiki while practicing any religion you choose. It can, however, open your spiritual practice. 

Is Reiki some fancy massage treatment?

I can see how it can be confused for massage, as hands move over the body, but the practitioner barely touches you . The Reiki Practitioner directs the energies by holding their hands above the body or only touching lightly. The practitioner does not knead, rub or prod you in the slightest.

So there you have it, do you you have more of an idea of what Reiki isn't? I have been a practitioner since 2007 and would be honoured to work with you. So tell me, what have you heard about Reiki compared?
