It works on the premise that all living beings have an innate ability to heal themselves and that disease, pain and emotional distress are all the results of imbalances — physiological, emotional or spiritual. By reducing stress and tension in the body, improving the flow of energy within the biofield, and calming the anxious mind, balance can be restored and healing can begin to take place. Because animals are, by nature, so sensitive to our energy and non-verbal communication that we share with them, Reiki is an ideal practice for use with animals of any age, temperament and state-of-health. During a Reiki session, most animals will become very relaxed or even fall asleep. While benefit can often be seen after just one session of 30 minutes, with regular treatments, Reiki can be even more beneficial and can often reduce symptoms of illness or discomfort, and improve overall quality of life.
