Reiki is steadily gaining popularity in the animal world as a complementary health therapy.

Animals are intuitive beings, the calm space created by a Reiki practitioner’s meditation invites the animal to join that relaxed environment that brings about stress-relief and deep relaxation.

When we are deeply relaxed, our body’s natural healing ability is enhanced and our immune system functions at optimum level.

Reiki may help animals who have been sick for a long time recover faster.

Pets who are anxious at the vet, but requires many visits because of their sickness, or needs surgery, is better prepared for such situations with Reiki.

Reiki is offered in many hospitals and hospices for both family members and patients.

Similarly Reiki may be used to help an animal in the ‘end of life’ care phase.

Animals are known to handle death better than humans, however, Reiki may help them cope with severe pain, or process the fact that they are leaving resulting in them being more peaceful and playful even in their final days.
