Reiki Healing Energy for Pets

50% of all treatment fees for pets will be donated to Tails To Freedom by Tess Rath at Taoist Arts Center!

Reiki is a hands-on healing method that originated in Japan. The practitioner channels healing energy through her hands to the animal through a light touch either directly on the body or from a distance. The word Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is a Japanese composite word usually translated as "universal life energy". It is based on the idea that all living beings have life energy flowing through them. When life energy is high, your pets are healthy and balanced, more relaxed and less likely to get sick. When it is low, they'll often be more easily affected by stress and less resistant to illness.

Reiki is a safe complement to conventional Western medicine, Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, homeopathy and all other forms of healing. Animals, especially cats, are naturally receptive to the Reiki energy and tend to gravitate towards it readily. Some pets may initially prefer to experience the energy from a slight distance, rather than having the practitioner's hands directly on them. Reiki sessions for pets typically last 20-30 minutes. The frequency of sessions depends on each individual animal's health status and needs. Some health issues can be resolved in two or three sessions, others may take ongoing sessions on a recurring basis. As with all healing services that Tess provides, frequency of sessions will be tailored to your pet's individual needs.

Benefits of Reiki for pets:
• Enhances overall well-being.
• Strengthens the immune system when dealing with accelerated illness.
• Accelerates healing following surgery or illness.
• Increases trust and bonding between you and your pet.
• Can help with behavior issues by promoting relaxation and stress reduction.
• Provides comfort and relieves pain, anxiety and fear for terminally ill animals.

In Person Treatments

Reiki treatments given in person are either given in the pet's home if easily accessible. Most pets take to the energy readily and enjoy hands-on treatments. Some pets may be more comfortable from a slight distance. Whether given directly hands-on or from across the room, treatments are equally effective.

Distance Treatments

Reiki can be given at a distance. Distance treatments are just as effective as in person treatments and can be preferable to hands-on treatments in some instances. Some animals may live too far away for hands-on treatments. Others may be fearful of strangers, old and fragile, or close to death and may be better able to relax and absorb Reiki distantly. For people with very busy schedules, alternating distant Reiki treatments and in-person treatments is a good way to be able to give your pet the benefits of Reiki more conveniently. Distant treatments are also quick to schedule: in emergency situations, I can usually offer a distant treatment the same day. Similarly, if a pet seems to be coming down with something or needs additional support between treatments, distant healing can provide what is needed.
