Animals tend to be very attuned to life force energy. If pets are present where Reiki is being practiced, they will often gather around or under the Reiki table. They want to receive healing for themselves and just enjoy the experience.

Working With Animals

When working on animals, the practitioner acts as an open channel, facilitating the flow of life force energy and following the animal’s cues.

As with humans, the practitioner works within the energy field and just on the surface of the body. But, depending on the animal, the session may be conducted by simply beaming energy (typical for puppies, birds, and wild animals). They may also channel through petting strokes (often for dogs and cats), or through the laying of the hands.

Each animal has its own appreciation of the self-healing process and will make it known through body language or energy. They will typically indicate when they have had enough and the session is over by posturing or moving away.

Talking to Your Animal Friend

One wonderful advantage of Reiki Healing is that the human (practitioner) and animal can more easily communicate. For example, human thoughts and language are translated into life force energy that dogs can readily understand. Similarly, the animal’s response in thoughts and barks are translated into life force energy that we humans can sense and understand. At times it can feel as though you’re having a conversation with your client.

Offering Reiki for pets can be a remarkably satisfying experience.
