While there is no difference between “Animal Reiki” & “Human Reiki”, animals can receive & experience Reiki differently than how humans do.
Here are some important differences to point out:
🐴 Animals are quite sensitive to energy & usually are more in tune with their own energy fields & picking up on the energy fields of others.
🐝 Animals often feel Reiki more strongly & take Reiki more quickly than humans.
🐱 Animals most often prefer hands off Reiki.
🐕 Animals may prefer to have Reiki on a part of their body that is not the area they are having challenges.
🦙During Animal Reiki, the animal, not the Reiki practitioner, controls the session. They choose if, when, & how they receive the Reiki energy & determine when the session is complete.
Animal Reiki can help animals in a variety of ways, in dealing with:
🤍 Trauma
🤍 Illness or injury
🤍 Behavioural challenges
🤍 Changes to routine or house moves
🤍 Reduce stress or anxiety
🤍 End of life transition
🤍 Animals in spirit
It is important to note that whilst Animal Reiki is complementary to veterinary care, it is not a replacement for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.
Animal Reiki encourages slowing down, connecting with, & holding space for your animal companion & often creates a closer bond 🐾.
Have you heard of Animal Reiki or had an Animal Reiki session done for one of your animal companions?
