Have you got any questions or experiences you'd like to share, about Reiki for Animals? I started sharing Reiki with my RSPCA foster cat, Tigger, during the Summer of 2020, and was blown away by how quickly it helped him
de-escalate from anxiety and panic, and start to feel safe. I remember one time, sitting at the top of the stairs with him, giving him hands-off Reiki but directly for the first time, and at a certain point he just melted - rolled onto his back, purring and showing me his tummy, like a contented little kitten! After seeing how it helped his physical symptoms too (sensitive stomach) as well as his jumpiness and reactivity, I started to offer treatments to the animals at the RSPCA shelter Tigger came from.
A few of the ways Reiki has helped rescue animals I've worked with
Helps them to feel more relaxed
Helps them to feel safe, and in a held, comfortable energy
Helps them feel seen, connected with and understood
Helps them to process and release trauma, worries, confusion and anxiety, in a safe, gentle way, at their own speed
Empowers them to use the energy to heal in their own way, with no judgement, no expectation and no performance required from them.
Have you got any questions about animal Reiki, or Reiki for shelter animals? If so, ask away on this forum! Volunteering with the RSPCA was an incredible learning experience for me - in all kinds of unexpected ways, and I believe it has helped my work as a Complementary Therapist for humans, as well as for my work in Reiki for Animals.
Here's a link, if you'd like to book a treatment for your companion animal.
