Reiki For Family, Friends and Pets

Reiki is a spiritual healing art with its roots in Japanese origin. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy.” Reiki is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. It is not massage nor is it a system of religious beliefs or suggestion. It is a subtle and effective form of energy healing using spiritually guided life force energy, the energy which fills our whole universe and all living things. This energy is channeled through the hands of the practitioner into the body and aura of the receiver. It is an ancient healing system that has been used for thousands of years and was developed by Dr Mikao Usui.

Reiki is the least complicated, truest and most effective technique for wellness, as it is an excellent compliment to Western medicine. It is holistic in nature and will not adversely interfere with any drug, diagnosis, or belief system. Reiki can also be sent to someone who is not physically present, this is called distance healing. It can also be used on animals and plants. During a Reiki session, the person receiving Reiki can lies or sits, fully clothed, while the practitioner places his hands lightly on or a few inches over the person’s head and body. Reiki opens the mind and spirit to the causes of disease and pain and the necessity for taking responsibility for one’s life. Reiki heals on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual to help return the body to its natural perfect state.

The point that the Reiki principles make is the life force relies on the views and judgments that we practice and make known, in other words, if we think in a positive manner and try to feel only good feelings, the life energy is profuse. If we only have negative thoughts about ourselves and about people around us, the life energy weakens. The outcome is poor health of the mind, body and spirit.

Reiki is used hand-in hand with orthodox medicine more and more all over the world. It has been useful with therapies such radiotherapy chemotherapy, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, vitamin and nutritional therapy, and general medical drug therapy.

Reiki helps friends, family, including our pets (animal loves Reiki) to relax their stress levels, detoxify their systems and heal their injuries or illnesses more rapidly. The health benefits mean you can cope better with all worries to do with, work, relationships and money. Reiki experience varies from person to person, but it never ceases to amaze.

The side-effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy can be greatly eased, including nausea, anxiety, exhaustion and the tension in scar tissue Recovery from surgery can be quite surprising, for us and for our pets especially when the treatments begin some weeks previous to the surgery. Carry on the Reiki after medical treatment and it all comes together to help and improve after-effects and recovery time. You can also arrange some distance healing, which will also add to the recovery time.

Your Stress Effects Your Pets

We live in challenging times and external stressors abound. It’s been long proven that owning a pet has beneficial effects on our health. People and pets often mirror each others’ physical and emotional states. Since pets are so sensitive to our emotions, they can become sick as a result of our stress.

It may be the pet’s stress, such as having a new pet to adjust to in the house; but it can just as easily be the owner’s stress. The emotional turmoil brought on by such difficulties as household financial problems, frequent job travel, marital differences, new babies, and home remodeling can affect our pets in very tangible ways. Our stress can induce undesirable behaviors in our pets, such as inappropriate urination. More importantly, our stress can also influence the development of actual physical illness in our pets as well as in ourselves. Stress relief for pet owners won’t solve every pet health problem, but can go a long way toward alleviating many of them.”

Reiki can help relieve stress in people and pets. To prevent your stress from affecting your pets, come for a treatment for yourself. If you find that your pets are already affected by your stress, joint treatments for people and their pets can often be beneficial.
