Animal Reiki Healing
Reiki is a safe and gentle “complementary” therapy that activates the parasympathetic nervous system to heal body and mind. It has potential for broader use in management of chronic health conditions, and in postoperative recovery. Specifically, Reiki is being used as a treatment and connection method in a number of ways for pets including:
Anxious or Stressed Pets
The number one primary benefit and response to Reiki with animals is stress relief and deep relaxation. The calm space created by a Reiki practitioner’s meditation invites the animal to join that relaxed environment. This can make Reiki an effective stress reliever for pets in high anxiety environments.
Coping With Illness and Surgery Recovery
When we are deeply relaxed, all our systems relax and can function optimally, and our immune system can operate more optimally. Our bodies can heal themselves when we can allow ourselves to relax. Reiki works by inducing that state or creating that relaxation that we need to heal ourselves.
End of Life Care
Reiki is offered in many hospitals and hospices for both family members and patients. When Reiki is used to help an animal pass, we find similar benefits. Animals handle death better than we do. They know they are dying; they need time to process this and to know they are leaving. Reiki can help provide that time so that a pet is not in severe pain as they cope with this impending change. It can also bring pet owners some peace as well, especially knowing that their pet is at peace, eating more and being more playful in their final days, and ready to say goodbye.
Bonding and Quality Time
Reiki can provide a way to strengthen the human-pet connection. Animals teach us, they share with us even more than we share with them. They are intuitive beings. Reiki can offer another way to connect with your pet and can be especially helpful if you have rescued a new pet with past trauma or notice significant changes in your pet’s demeanor.
