“They know they are dying, they need time to process this and to know they are leaving.” Reiki can help provide that time so that a pet is not in severe pain as they cope with this impending change.
“Animals handle death better than we do,” says Clune. When Reiki is used to help an animal pass, we find similar benefits. Reiki is offered in many hospitals and hospices for both family members and patients. Clune shares how Reiki can help put a pet more at ease prior to walking into those situations. If you have a pet who is anxious at the vet, but requires many visits because of their sickness or needs surgery, Reiki can help prepare them. Reiki can also be helpful throughout the medical process. “I have seen animals who are sick for a long time and they get better more quickly or heal after surgery quickly with the help of Reiki.” Reiki works by inducing that state or creating that relaxation that we need to heal ourselves. “Our bodies can heal themselves when we can allow ourselves to relax,” explains Prasad. When we are deeply relaxed, all of our systems relax and can function optimally and our immune system can operate more optimally. This can make Reiki an effective stress reliever for pets in high anxiety environments, be that a shelter setting or even at home with a new baby in the house. The calm space created by a Reiki practitioner’s meditation invites the animal to join that relaxed environment. “The number one primary benefit and response to Reiki with animals is stress relief and deep relaxation,” says Prasad”. It has potential for broader use in management of chronic health conditions, and possibly in postoperative recovery.” Specifically, Reiki is being used as a treatment and connection method in a number of ways for pets including: Anxious or Stressed Pets In fact the NCBI has even found through studies that, “Reiki is a safe and gentle “complementary” therapy that activates the parasympathetic nervous system to heal body and mind. Reiki is steadily gaining popularity in the animal world as a complementary health therapy. This transfer of energy has been known to help individuals either better cope with or move past emotional and physical pain. In practice, Reiki utilizes the meditative space provided by the healer to the individual to connect and offer calm. “Different mediation tools including symbols and mantras and breathing and visualization practices help to create the necessary environment,” says Prasad. The system of Reiki - that being the practice of Reiki to heal and treat - provides hands-on natural healing through touch when applied from one living thing to another. We are all born with spiritual energy, it’s the essence, it’s the innocence within us.” “I’m not going to go to a Reiki master and have them put it in me.

“We all have Reiki within us,” says Jeanne Clune, CPDT-KA Behavior Consultant at Behavior Vets NYC, Fear Free Certified Trainer and Let Animals Lead Reiki Teacher. “That spiritual energy makes up everything in the universe,” says Prasad.
Rei, which means spirit, and Ki, which means energy, so it directly translates to “spiritual energy”.
According to practicing Reiki Masters, including Kathleen Prasad of Animal Reiki Source, author and the creator of the Let Animals Lead Method, “We are all Reiki, everything is Reiki.” The translation of the word is made up of two Japanese words put together. If you speak to a Reiki expert and simply ask the question, “ What is Reiki?“, you will most likely get an answer along the lines of, “ What isn’t Reiki?“. So naturally, if it’s good enough for people, we can’t help but wonder if it could also benefit our pets? But before we get to that… What Exactly Is Reiki? Today Reiki is practiced all over the world and seems to be gaining popularity by the minute. It’s an energy-based Japanese holistic method applied through noninvasive, nonmanipulative gentle touch that dates back to the 1900s. Reiki has provided a path to healing for many people who are coping with mental, physical, and spiritual difficulties. So, when we see our dog, cat, or any other animal friend suffering - be it from anxiety, old age, or illness - we’re willing to do anything to provide that comfort and relief to them. Our pets provide so much happiness, love, retreat, and even peace in our lives.
