Reiki For Animals


Animals have always been a very important part of my life. My earliest memories include those of the dogs and cats that were and integral part of our family. At times there were sad goodbyes as age claimed these much loved friends but always a new character arrived to fill our hearts and be loved.

Horses became my life’s work after I gained a position working in an equestrian centre. This was the start of an exciting career revolving around horses. From that time, 30 years ago, horses have been a major part of my life.

Why Animals Need Healing


By nature animals are very sensitive. Not only do they suffer from physical problems but living a lifestyle that is influenced by humans can create mental and emotional disturbances.

Negative human moods can cause them worry and anxiety. In the same way as humans suffer from stress, so can animals.

Healing works on a holistic level, treating the whole system. Behavioural problems, which may have a root cause in past incidents, can be helped by the healing working at a deep level, which may well release past traumas.

Animals are naturally in tune with the healing energies, which are gentle and non invasive, working to restore and improve general health, helping any animal for any condition.

The benefits of Reiki apply to animals in just the same way as they do for humans.

Sceptics might say that healing works because the receiver mentally wants it to work. This idea is, however, shot to pieces by the very fact that animals respond so well to the healing energy and they cannot mentally convince themselves that they feel better. They certainly don't understand anything about healing or that they can be helped in such a way. A placebo effect cannot be considered when working with animals; the response from them is very real.

It is important that the owner of an animal must seek advice from a Vet when it is clearly needed. Reiki healing is a complementary therapy and will work to enhance any treatment program suggested.
