About Reiki

The word Reiki, pronounced “Ray-key,” is made of two Japanese words – “Rei” which means “God’s wisdom or higher power” and “Ki” which means “life force energy. ” So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.” Reiki is a Japanese holistic energy healing system that is noninvasive, yet yields powerful results for the body, mind and spirit. It is based on the idea that unseen life force energy flows through all of us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. The Reiki practitioner channels the life force energy by placing hands on or near the animal’s body.

When using Reiki to heal, the practitioner facilitates the healing process by allowing Reiki to flow in whatever amount is necessary. Reiki aims to remove anything blocking the flow of life energy in a gentle and effective way, allowing the life force energy to flow freely so the body can heal. Reiki is ideal for use with animals, because its effectiveness does not depend upon physical contact. The animal can control the treatment by accepting Reiki either hands-on, from a distance, or a combination of the two.

Pets are wonderful receivers of Reiki. Treatments usually have a soothing effect and many patients sleep quite comfortably during them. Reiki treats the whole animal including body, mind, emotions and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation, and feelings of peace, security and well-being.

Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of healing. Reiki can do no harm, even when used by a novice practitioner. It always goes to the deepest source of the problem, and always supports a path towards balance in the body. It has been effective at treating virtually every known malady and always has a beneficial effect. Reiki can offer relief from debilitating diseases, and expedite the healing process after your pet has experienced a traumatic injury or undergone a surgical procedure.
