“Just as water ripples outward with the drop of a pebble, Reiki flows to exactly where it’s needed for the highest good of all.”  

~Cathy Malkin, The Animal Muse

As a Reiki Master Practitioner for over ten years, I’m still in awe of the incredible healing power of Reiki. The more I practice Reiki, the more I see how the Universal Life Force Energy ripples outward flowing to precisely where it’s needed the most.

When clients sent up Reiki sessions for a particular animal in their family, I encourage them to be with their pet during the treatment because Reiki frequently benefits other family members including pets and humans. 

An excellent example of what I call the “Reiki Ripple Effect” happened when I offered a beautiful 16-year-old Golden Retriever mix named Shanti distant Reiki.

Shanti’s human, Serena requested Reiki to support her best friend, who was recently diagnosed with cancer, and for an upcoming move. Given all the different holistic options, Serena felt long-distant Reiki was the best choice to compliment Shanti’s cancer treatments and help decrease her anxiety around the move.

Before Shanti’s first Reiki session, I suggested Serena and her two cats create a “healing circle” around Shanti. In other words, I wanted Shanti’s family to sit or sleep close by one another while I offered Reiki to Shanti.

After Shanti’s initial treatment, Serena shared the following feedback:

Reiki goes where it needs to go, right?

It went straight to my own body, which has been in intense body pain for over a week. After Shanti’s Reiki session, I had NO pain for two days!

As for Shanti – the light in her eyes are bright as her eyes tend to become dull when she is uncomfortable. And her gorgeous coat has shined up. . . it’s palpable!

The cats? They’ve have been playing more. 

Also, thanks for getting rid of my dang virus that had a hold on me.

That’s the Reiki Report!

After Shanti’s third Reiki treatment, Serena wrote:

Three times is apparently the charm. Shanti seems transformed this evening standing for her supper, which she hasn’t done in weeks.

Serena and Shanti’s experience highlights Reiki’s innate intelligence and its ability to go to whoever needs it, which in this case, created positive healing results for the entire family, including Serena.

Reiki works by bringing about a deep relaxation response. 

By increasing relaxation, Reiki promotes healing while decreasing stress, pain, and anxiety in your animal companions.

Holistic by nature, Reiki helps with all aspects of your animal’s being, whether it’s physical, emotional, mental, behavioral or spiritual. One of the best aspects of Reiki is it can do no harm and safely complements all healing modalities whether they are holistic or Western that you may be using under the supervision of your veterinarian.**

There are many benefits to offering Reiki to your animal family including:

1. Reiki can be offered in-person or from a distance so your pet can receive Reiki in their homes or where ever they feel comfortable and safe. This facilitates helping pets enter into a deep relaxation space where innate healing begins.
2. Animals, no matter their species, intuitively trust, understand and respond to Reiki.
3. Animals with behaviorally-based issues like reducing fear, anxiety, aggression, depression can benefit from regular Reiki treatments. 
4. Holistic by nature, offering on-going Reiki treatments promotes balance and harmony in your pet’s life. When pets feel peaceful it adds to their happiness.
5. Offering Reiki when you’re on vacation or go out of town helps your animal family to stay calm and relaxed. It also reinforces to them that you’re always connected to them and will return home.
6. Surgery and other veterinarian procedures can be stressful for your pet. Reiki supports your animal by helping them to stay calm and relaxed. 
7. Regular Reiki treatments help pets cope and deal with acute and chronic illnesses. 
8. Reiki supports animals who are in hospice care and throughout the dying process. 
9. All species, including those who have returned home to Spirit, benefit from receiving Reiki.
