What Makes Reiki Perfect for Animals?

Energy healing for horses and other animals

Reiki energy is the healing energy of the universal life force. Because animals are so sensitive to the energy that flows through all living things, it is easy for them to experience the healing benefits of Reiki. The Reiki practitioner creates a loving, compassionate space that opens hearts, comforts the physical body and brings a deep sense of well-being to the spirit.

Reiki for animals

Animal Reiki treatments are offered at your home, your barn or stable, or at your shelter, as well as remotely. Animals can participate individually or with their animal home mates. You can choose from a 30-minute session, a one-hour session, or a package of four 30-minute or one-hour sessions.

Sharing the quiet energy of Reiki in shelters and sanctuaries or in foster homes brings a sense of balance and security to animals in great need of comfort. Human caretakers too will experience the relief and release that Reiki treatments offer them. Reiki treatments for rescue animals and their human caretakers are offered on a voluntary basis at no charge.
