Reiki for Animals


A few months after we moved here I decided to retrain as an Holistic Therapist. I love learning. Its a real buzz for me these days - bit of a shame I didn't feel the same when I was at school. (What is it that they do at school to completely put you off learning?) I emerged in the Autumn of 2005 as a qualified Massage Therapist and Reflexologist. The college I attended did other courses one of which was Reiki. Now I was really keen on complementary therapies but Reiki - no I decided that I wasn't up for that - its a bit "wooo-wooo" isn't it.

Actually NO its not. Not only does the recipient not have to believe in it, the practitioner doesn't have to either. And it was because this took the pressure off me that I decided to give it a go. One of my better decisions in life. I took first and second degree Reiki at the end of 2005 and loved every minute of it.

One of the best things about Reiki is that is a "non-return" therapy. I pass on Universal Energy but dont receive anything negative back from the client. Far from feeling drained after a treatment I feel energised and totally at peace with the world.

The most rewarding is the animals I have treated. I have treated dogs recovering from operations, with Leishmaniasis, with hip displasia and more. Every time I treat an animal it reaffirms my conviction that this therapy works. Dont get me wrong I am not saying that its a cure-all. However, the deep relaxation that Reiki brings about in both animals and humans really allows the body to do its work of healing. Animals just soak it up. They have no preconceived ideas - nor do they give out platitudes at the end of a treatment. Therefore the reactions of an animal are true and genuine and all the more valuable.

Reiki is just a harnessing of the Universal Energy that surrounds us. Anyone can practice Reiki, once they have had their channels opened, to receive the energy, by a Reiki Master. Many people just become a Reiki practitioner as part of their development through life. They use it on their families and pets and leave it at that. Reiki can even be sent from a distance and I have done this and received very favourable feedback from it. It also fits in very well with conventional medicine, enhancing the effect.
