The term Reiki can be translated as ‘universal life energy’. Reiki is both a personal spiritual practice and a Japanese healing art, the experience of which encourages a deep state of relaxation therefore reducing the effects of everyday stressors, as well as allowing the biological energy filed or ‘biofield’ to rebalance. Though a variety of Reiki systems have developed – all are based upon the original principles and practices of Mikao Usui (1865-1926).
The healing art of Animal Reiki
When used as a healing modality, a Reiki treatment typically involves a hands-on session that creates a deeply relaxed and meditative state in the client. This can lead to reduced sensations of stress and anxiety, a promotion of wellbeing, and by inducing the relaxation response, an encouragement of the innate healing ability within each individual that can lead to a reduction in a variety of symptoms.
Reiki for both illness and everyday wellbeing
As Reiki is a non-invasive, gentle therapy, it can be experienced alongside both veterinary and complementary medicine without interference. Reiki treatments are becoming more widely accepted therapy to encourage animal wellbeing. However, Reiki sessions can also be used to deepen a client’s own spiritual or meditative practice, or be used as part of an ongoing strategy to maintain wellbeing in everyday life, by recharging and balancing the bioenergetic aspects of self.
What happens during a Reiki session?
Animals can stand, sit or lie down whilst this Reiki practitioner places and moves their hands near various parts of the body, sometimes touching the body and sometimes hovering slightly above. Whilst many Reiki practitioners follow a set sequence of hand positions moving at regular intervals during a session, Emma works more intuitively depending upon each individual.
