What is Reiki?

Reiki is a hands-on healing method that was rediscovered by Mikao Usui in Japan in the nineteenth century. It can be used on both animals and their owners to promote well-being and good health. The word Reiki literally means universal life force and it is this energy or life force that exists in all living things that can be activated for the purpose of healing.

How does it work?

Every cell in our bodies is surrounded by an electromagnetic field which vibrates at a certain frequency when we are well. During illness, depression or other abnormal changes, the cells vibrate at a different frequency causing changes in the magnetic field.

Reiki Practitioners believe that by laying their hands on the energy centres of the body they can channel additional energy from the 'Universal Source' into the recipient. This boosts the ability of the body to rebalance the energy centres by assisting the cells to return to their normal vibrational level. This also stimulates and opens the natural healing channel within the body that promotes physical, mental and emotional healing.

The Reiki treatment

Reiki can help to heal problems in both ourselves and our animals. It can be used safely, has no adverse side affects and can sometimes work when all else has failed. I work with the animal and the owner and this may include healing sessions for both. I use my communication skills to find out exactly what the animal is feeling either physically or emotionally and whether there is a problem that is being reflected from their owner. Please note that veterinary permission is required to enable me to perform healing on an animal.
