Reiki is definitely an experience to be seen as each person or animal will respond differently. My work focuses on animals (horses, dogs, cats) and I wish I had a camera to show you the visual amazement and verbal expressions that the owners share as they watch their animal not only respond to the Reiki session but guide the session. Following a session I often receive emails stating:” I just came back from bringing horses in for the night and Marut acted positively 10 years younger! “, or “Hannah was a more relaxed dog right from the time we left your office”.
This work has become a passion of mine as I become a communicator between the animal and their owner. We unravel the unknown history which can explain behavior issues or unexplained physical injuries. We watch as an animal tells his/her story and immediately becomes settled and relaxed as the secret they have been carrying is released, and they can begin to heal and move forward in their healing process. Each animal has a story to tell or a situation they want to share, this s the work that I offer.
When physical trauma is the concern, the use of Reiki, Essential Oils and Gem stones has incredibly positive effects. These holistic options provide the tools for the body to heal itself, fixing the root cause and not the symptoms, sometimes without the use of drugs. I love to watch these animals return for their second or third session and a whole new animal is walking through the door. This becomes more apparent with the horses (although they don’t walk through my door!) because with their sheer size the changes are magnified. I have seen animals have ‘hissy’ fits as the Reiki unleashes pent up anger, upset or trauma. I have watched as these energies are released and the animal settles, relaxes and takes a HUGE sigh.
Each experience is as important as the next. Very often the healing session for the animals is also affecting the owner as they feel the release and are so relieved that their animal is feeling better. Sometimes the animal and owner have shared similar experiences in their life and this is when I call the session a 2 for 1 deal, as both are receiving a healing. Occasionally the animal will be their on false pretences as it is their owner who the animal feels would benefit from a Reiki session – the unknowing into the knowing is the fascination of this incredible modality.
