I
understand what counseling is, but what
does Spiritual counseling involve?
Reiki for Animals and Pets
Reiki healing, as other alternative
therapies is now being applied to
animals for disease treatment and
general wellness. Reiki animal
practitioners can be found in many
countries now. Many veterinarians use
Reiki as a support in addition to
conventional veterinary medicine.
Reiki healing does not involve the
administration of any drug, just a
gentle physical contact with the animal,
so it is unlikely to do your pet any
harm. Animals love Reiki and it will
work for them. If you are unable to
touch the animal then you can also do
distance or absent Reiki post Level 2.
Reiki is recommended for treating pain,
anxiety and behavioral problems. The
therapy can be calming and may help an
agitated animal become a more acceptable
pet.

Reiki
Treatment for Animals
There are several major differences
between working on animals and humans,
and it is important to understand and
remember them, as you set about your
work. First, it is of utmost importance
to do Reiki animal healing on your pets
as soon as you sense any changes in
behavior habits; i.e., temperament,
eating, elimination and general malaise.
*NOTE: the quicker you treat
animals, the quicker their return to
health and balance. Since animals can't
talk, we need to be aware of subtle
changes in our pet's behavior. If you
come home and your pet seems lethargic
and unconcerned with your presence, or
licking itself more than ordinary, or
doesn’t have energy to eat, play, etc.,
it could be they are not feeling well.
Animals can easily get hurt when we are
away; jumping, playing, chasing toys or
feeling energetic and trying to
dissipate it by running around the
house. If an injury is allowed to swell,
excessive fluids can gather in and
around the injury, increasing pressure
and decreasing the flow of energy to the
area of injury. This can result in
permanent damage to tissues and lengthen
treatment time.
When we become attuned to Reiki, we
often want to treat every hurt or
sickness, and in our exuberance to be
helpful, we may force a hands-on
treatment on our animals—making the
animal mad enough to strike out at us.
It is good to remember to approach any
injured or sick animal with caution and
love. Move towards an animal slowly, and
pet the animal lightly; pay attention to
any area which appears to be sensitive
to touch.
When
applying Reiki healing, lay your hands
ever-so-gently on the area in question;
try to ascertain the possible cause for
the animal's discomfort. Do not force
the animal to sit still, while you do
your work; rather raise your hands just
off the surface of the body. Reiki will
flow equally even if the hands are up to
4 inches above the skin. Do spend extra
time on sensitive areas, but remember to
treat the animals entire body—other
parts reacting to the initial injury can
be energized and brought into balance.
Also, continue to treat, until the
animal is back to their normal routines,
without any symptoms. Animals seem to
take longer to respond to energy
treatments than do humans. Treat the
animals daily, for as long as it takes
and treat them with gentleness, spending
whatever time is required to help them
get back to their playful natures.
If your animal in not acting lively, is
shy and won't eat, and won't allow you
to treat with hands-on, then try beaming
energy to it from a short distance. We
sit in a chair and when a sick or
injured animal does come close or lies
down near the chair, we just hold our
closest hand over or toward the animal.
When they have enough, they will move
away, and often later return to receive
additional energy. If your animal will
not permit treatment, but is not acting
normal, take it to the veterinarian. Ask
to be in the room with the doctor or
assistant, and learn from them; ask
questions, and give support to your pet.
They will remember the loving care they
received and will associate you with it.
When your pet next needs care and
attention, they will come to you more
readily. Remember, Reiki is a higher
frequency vibration and it may take time
before animals become accustomed to the
energy. But when they do, they will seek
it out whenever they become imbalanced. |

Treating
Animals With Reiki Healing
When treating animals with Reiki, it is
good to remember that all life-forms
utilize "Universal" energy, and that all
run optimally when filled with it.
When treating domestic animals (farm and
house) with Reiki healing, it is good to
start the treatment by laying hands at
the base of the ears near the neck. This
seems to calm down animals, and as in
humans, when the body is relaxed, stress
free, energy flows more easily and in
greater supply. Then the animal can be
treated systematically (hand positions
similar to those for humans) or simply
lay hands on the areas that you sense
are in pain or imbalance. Be guided by
your inner sense and feelings as to
where to lay hands and how long to leave
them in the positions chosen.
When working on small animals (mice,
hamsters, guinea pigs, frogs, and
birds), just cup your hands gently
around their bodies, without pressure.
You may experience a rapid heartbeat,
but not to worry, the animal will relax.
Obviously, you would not try to place
your big hands on such small animals,
but just allow the animal to be
surrounded in Reiki energy within your
cupped hands. If you treat small animals
during their sleep cycles, keep the
hands just above the surface of their
skin, so not to disturb them.
If the case of caged wild birds or fish
in a tank, it is best to place your
hands around the cage or tank and just
allow the energy to flow between your
hands; in this case it may be good to
treat for 20 to 30 minutes so the small
creatures can have time to absorb the
energy they need.
The larger the animal to be worked on,
the more positions a practitioner needs
to do in order to give the animal a
healthy dose of energy. If animals are
considered poisonous, wild and
dangerous, it is best to treat them by
distant techniques (Reiki Level 2). We
do recommend you keep a journal of your
treatment experiences on animals, and in
time you will build a valuable file on
how best to treat animals that are more
specific.
It is advisable to secure anatomy charts
of animals that you will be working on
regularly, so that you will know where
the most important organs are and can
treat them most efficaciously. The organ
placement of dogs and cats are different
from those of human bodies. Here are a
few facts that we have found important
in our practice on animals.
When treating injured or tame birds with
Reiki healing, place their body in one
open hand, making sure their wings are
folded back against their body in a
natural position. Make sure their
sternum is able to move freely, as this
is how they breath.
If you are treating a cat for "feline
leukemia", you want to cover the neck
area and under the jaws; this is where
their lymph nodes are located. You will
want to work on the chest where the
thymus gland sits and on the belly about
2 inches up from the hind legs on the
cats left side (belly up). This is
effective in building up an immunity to
the leukemia. A good hand position would
be to have the cat lying on it belly,
and place your thumbs just below the rib
cage and the fingers underneath the
cat's body. Just remember to treat the
entire body, with exception to the head,
legs and feet. If your cat has a bladder
infection, be sure to place your hands
over the pelvic area on top near the
spine. This sends Reiki energy to the
spinal nerves that enervate the bladder.
If an animal has a spinal injury, it is
effectively treated by placing the heel
of one hand at the base of the tail,
with fingers pointed toward the head,
and the heel of the other hand at the
base of the neck, with fingers pointed
toward the base of the spine. Then treat
other areas of the body that appear to
be traumatized by the injury.
Just remember a couple of important
facts...animals, specially wild ones and
those that roam freely out-of-doors can
become rabid, and caution must be taken
to prevent being bitten. If you are
bitten, take the animal to a
veterinarians and describe what
happened. Also, do not force an animal
to sit still while you do Reiki Healing
on them; they have their own time to
physically transition when their life's
chosen aim and purpose is completed, and
as such, they have free will not to
accept energy that would thwart their
situation. Every animal is different and
unique, and only by working with them,
and not on them, will you come to
appreciate the freedom (not domination)
of animals, and be gifted with true
"unconditional love". |
