ANIMAL REIKI INFO | Den of Healing

Animal Reiki is:

A unique method of working with animals wherein the Practitioner works in equal partnership with the animal. All animals, no matter how small or unique, should be approached with humility and respected as spiritual teachers in life and healing. Animals, like humans, possess physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual behaviours, to which Reiki can bring a profound healing transformation.
A mental focus technique used to develop an “All is Well” state of mind for the Practitioner, who sees the animal’s perfection in the present moment rather than focusing on what is “wrong”.
A mindful meditation practiced with animals rather than an energy-based therapy done to them.
A partnership between the Practitioner and the animal.
Respectful to the animal’s right to chose how they wish to receive Reiki during a session. The animal must always be given agency.

A modified version of human Reiki. It is its own unique method.
A hands-on interaction with the animal. Touch is only used when the animal seeks it out, and only then as a compassionate support to the animal.
Animal communication. Animal Reiki should be kept separate from animal communication. The goal of each modality is different so they should not be performed at the same time. We do not need to know what is wrong with the animal, but rather connect with the animal and hold space for the animal to support them in their own healing.
A way to diagnose medical conditions.
A treatment for medical ailments.
A system that works with chakras or animal anatomy.
