Yesterday, we gave a warm welcome to the newest addition to our K9 1-ON-1 family, Sharon Cooper. She was kind enough to pass along some valuable information on Reiki For Pets so we could share it with you.
Reiki is a hands-on healing method that originated in Japan. The practitioner channels healing energy through their hands to the animal through a light touch either directly on the body or from a distance. The word Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is a Japanese composite word usually translated as "universal life energy".
It is based on the idea that all living beings have life energy flowing through them. When life energy is high, your pets are healthy and balanced, more relaxed and less likely to get sick. When it is low, they'll often be more easily affected by stress and less resistant to illness. Reiki is a safe complement to conventional Western medicine, Chinese medicine, herbal medicine, homeopathy and all other forms of healing.
