Yes, Animals Can Receive Reiki Too

If you are a pet owner you may be wondering if you can get your pet a reiki session, and the answer is yes!

Technically any reiki certification but can be used to give animals reiki, but there are also specific animal reiki certifications, which I have. After recieving two different certifications of Reiki I & II—my second including Holy Fire Reiki—I decided to get my Animal Reiki I & II from a teacher that’s certified with the ICRT.

We learned specific techniques and practices for working with animals, as well as covered specific challenges that animals might face.

Do animals like reiki?

Animals can respond really well to energy healing since they don’t have any preconcieved notions about what it is, or about their healing process. Many animals (like many humans) seem to love it!

Some common animals that might benefit from reiki include dogs, cats, birds, and horses—but any type of animal might be receptive to the energy.

What to expect from an animal reiki session.

I offer animal reiki sessions remotely. These sessions are often scheduled to be a bit shorter than human reiki sessions, however the animal will ultimately set the length of the session—and let it be known whether they’re open to the reiki session at all.

These session are not hands-on. They are done through the energy alone, which makes the sessions safe and comfortable for all involved! It also means you can be located anywhere in the world.

While we might encourage a person to lay down and relax during a reiki session, it is not necessary for your pet or animal friend to do the same. They’re free to get up and move around, or do whatever it is they need to do. The reiki will work regardless.

I can send reiki by looking at a photo of your pet, or if you prefer, we can get on a zoom.

What can animal reiki help with?

Reiki is an energy healing method that helps to promote deep relaxation, which can then allow the body and mind to heal.

For animals, reiki can help with pretty much anything your pet might be dealing with. This includes things like physical ailments, as well as emotional situations like adjusting to moves or sharing space with new pet friends! It can help with:
