Animal Reiki Source provides a unique healing and educational program that combines Japanese Reiki meditation practices with teachings about the sensitivities, preferences and wisdom of our animal teachers. Creator of the Let Animals Lead® method and President of Shelter Animal Reiki Association, Kathleen Prasad, founder of Animal Reiki Source, is the global pioneer and leader in the profession of Animal Reiki. Due to the simplicity and profound effectiveness of the Let Animals Lead® method, thousands of students from all over the world have incorporated these techniques into their lives with great healing success. Many shelters and sanctuaries have also adopted this method as a way to bring peace and comfort to the animals in their care. The Let Animals Lead® method offers simple meditation techniques that anyone can do, that help us to open our hearts to animals as teachers and healers. When we live our life in this open and present way, animals, who are so pure and sensitive, feel it, are drawn to us and want to share with us and support us. A beautiful, peaceful, compassionate space that honors and allows animals to lead their own healing process: this is the Let Animals Lead® method in action.

Presence plays an important role in our Animal Reiki practice.

When you show up with body, mind and heart presence, animals feel safe to connect with you—in their own way, and on their own time. 🙏

This month, we explore presence as the foundation of Animal Reiki.

Presence is not something we do—it’s something we embody. 🙏

When we soften our bodies, quiet our minds, and open our hearts, we create a space where animals feel safe enough to choose connection.

February invites us to practice not worrying, to trust stillness, and to meet animals with gentle awareness—just as Deer does. 🦌

Owl teaches us that wisdom does not come from doing more, but from listening more deeply. 🦉

In stillness, animals speak. In patience, trust grows.

May we allow Owl to guide us back to quiet presence, honoring animal choice, subtle communication, and the wisdom that arises when we soften and wait. 🙏

Meditate with animals for a happier and more peaceful life!

Hi, I’m Kathleen Prasad, and I’m so glad you’re here! Even though I’ve been pioneering the field of Animal Reiki for over 22 years, have taught thousands of animal lovers this sacred healing art, written multiple books on the subject, authored the Code of Ethics for the profession and have created the world’s first and only nonprofit dedicated to helping rescued animals with Reiki, I’m also a California girl, wife and mother to a teenager, dog and a horse. I’ve faced breast cancer twice in the past several years and am passionate about the ability of Animal Reiki to guide us through even the most difficult and dark times with courage and grace.

What is Animal Reiki? The Let Animals Lead® method of Animal Reiki teaches animal-guided healing through meditation. This unique perspective on healing helps humans support animals with peaceful acceptance, and through the letting go of judgment, worries, the need to fix and the need to control outcome. It’s also a powerful tool for self-healing!

Animal Reiki Source® is my teaching academy and home to my Let Animals Lead® method of Animal Reiki.

I’ve created the Let Animals Lead® method not just as a bold new approach to Animal Reiki, but also as a model for holistic healing that is animal-led and supports living with compassion and loving-kindness in the world. This method has its foundation in my human-focused Reiki training but uses a different and unique animal-centric approach where animals guide the sessions by their preferences and choices and are honored as spiritual teachers.
