Reiki   :

(Pronounced RAY-KEY)

KI is the universal energy of life.

REI is the wisdom that comes from God. It is all knowing and understands all life energy completely.

Rei flows thru all living things by means of Ki. Therefore, there is universal knowledge and wisdom present in every cell of every living thing.

 Reiki is an ancient, oriental healing modality. It is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It is often described in Western cultures as “ spiritually guided life force energy “. The system of Reiki grew out of the teachings of Mikao Usui, a Japanese man who lived from 1865 to 1926. During his lifetime, he studied ancient religions and teachings.   While meditating on a sacred mountain one day, he received a powerful form of energy that knocked him unconscious for hours. He awoke feeling wonderful and refreshed and had the ability to call upon this newfound source of energy. He discovered that this energy had an amazing healing ability so he began to teach others how to access it.

 The use of Reiki is available to everyone and has been successfully taught to thousands of people. During a Reiki session, I am simply opening myself to become a channel for divine healing energy and universal wisdom to flow through me to the body of the patient (animal or human).  Sessions can be brief or long depending on the need of the patient. Normally, multiple sessions are necessary. When providing Reiki to animals, I simply ask them for their permission to receive Reiki energy.  I respect their level of comfort by offering either hands on or remote treatments, meaning I do not have to touch their body or be too close to them to promote the flow of the healing energy. A normal Reiki session includes placing my hands on the head, shoulders, stomach and feet of the animal. This creates a relaxed and peaceful feeling within the patient. It is both powerful and gentle and alleviates blockages of energy in the body, which creates many beneficial effects. 

 Reiki is a helpful technique for assisting animals who are experiencing life threatening illness or lack of confidence and anxiety. It is beneficial in restoring balance and an overall healthy and confident demeanor.
