Reiki is a form of energy healing where practitioners receive an 'attunement' from a certified Master to connect them to the Reiki source. This allows practitioners to be a conduit for this incredible energy, allowing them to direct it's flow to other beings. From a spiritual perspective it's helpful to imagine the Reiki source as an endless well of energy that is of the highest vibration, purity and a good intentions. Different spiritualities call this high vibration energy different things but ultimately it is an unending source of the purest energy, most healing energy available in the spiritual realms.

What can Reiki help my Companion Animal with?

Similarly to humans it's excellent for relaxation, anxiety, mood improvements and pain management amongst many other things.
