Animal/Pet Reiki Information

The practice of Reiki is a Japanese healing art that has been practiced for the last one hundred years. The word Reiki comes from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy”. Reiki is not affiliated with any religion or religious practice belief or suggestion. It is a subtle and effective form of energy work using guided life force energy of the practitioner and participant. 

All living things on this earth have life force energy, including our four-legged family members. Reiki is the life energy that flows through all living things. Animal Reiki is another form of the practice Reiki, focused on the healing, relaxation and calming of the animal participant.  Reiki is a non-invasive, hands-on healing modality that promotes mental relaxation/calming and physical healing for animals and their caregivers. It can be hard for caregivers to witness the aftermath of the mistreatment of animals. Animal Reiki helps re-center the caregivers' emotions, allowing them to be present, to be grounded and to have clarity in moments of duress. The ability to set aside our personal emotions allows us to be present in the healing process of the animal we are trying to help and to be in a space of non-judgment, balance,and compassion for the animal. 

Reiki is internationally recognized by institutions such as the National Institute of Health for its positive effects on the holistic health and healing for both animals and humans. Worldwide acceptance of Animal Reiki now includes the increasing number of case studies that illustrate how positive the addition of a Reiki treatment has reduced stress, managed pain, and expedites overall healing to both animals and humans. When the entire body is relaxed, the mind is grounded, and the spirit is still, healing from within occurs as nature intended.  

Reiki is proving useful in a wide variety of home, hospital, and animal shelter settings as it can be safely practiced at animal rescues, within the comfort of home, and in veterinary settings to reduce stress, address trauma, and forge meaningful connections with animals as a complement to their normal care routine. Reiki is safe and allows the natural healing practice to help dogs, cats, horses, and other natural wonders with a wide range of issues and conditions. Reiki is a perfect complement to traditional veterinary care. 

Another technique widely utilized by practitioner is Animal Distance Reiki for pets which can also be helpful in animal healing.  Distance Reiki is performed when the animal can remain in the comfort of your own home, hospital, or shelter while the practitioner sends Reiki healing from a distance. Distance sessions can be particularly beneficial for larger dogs, horses, cows, and other large animals that aren’t easily transported. 

Animal Reiki may be utilized to: 

• Promote relaxation, especially in times of stress, during fireworks or a thunderstorm, or prior to a vet visit 

• Support the whole-body healing process after illness or injury 

• Relieve pain and decrease side effects of medical procedures 

• Help support animals that are pregnant, ailing, or with chronic or acute health conditions 

• Provide comfort and physical, mental, and spiritual support for animals and their people at the end of life 

Animal Reiki is safe for the animal and provides a holistic healing approach to aid in the healing whether that is mental, physical, or psychological. Services are provided with love and intention of healing your pet. Animals too need to also release those thoughts, feelings that no longer serve them. That is why I do what I do.  

If you would like to have your four-legged family member receive a Reiki treatment, contact me via email to schedule a date/time. Sessions are 30 minutes or 60 minutes in duration and can be performed in person or with Distance Reiki.   

Peace and light,

Reiki -- What it is and what to expect

Imagine yourself laying on your back, eyes closed, soft calming music in the background. You are in a positive tranquil place. For the next 45 – 55 minutes you are space that is designed for your serenity, your peacefulness, your healing time. As your body relaxes and absorbs the tranquil space around you, your Reiki session has already begun.

Reiki serves as a way to direct your body’s energy to attempt to remove energy blockages, whether mental, physical, emotional, that stall healing and prevent resolution and recovery. Reiki is often used to help sufferers of chronic disease, pain, anxiety, PTSD, other ailments and conditions. Reiki helps the body to create the ideal environment for healing itself.

Reiki healing begins with the Reiki practitioner using a hands-on approach with light touch on the body of the person to be healed. The life force energy “Ki” is what produces the healing flow of positive energy through the body and the bodies seven Chakras. The practitioner will guide the receiver through the process of relaxation, visualization and releasing during the session. The practitioner is neither channeling nor focusing on any intentions but rather being the conduit of Divine life force energy. Think of the practitioner as a faucet and the receiver is a bucket being filled with life force energy they need for their own mind, body, emotions, or spirit.

On the day of the session it is advised that you drink plenty of water, both before and after the session. It is also recommended to stay away from caffeine and sugary sweets. Wear comfortable clothes and socks, and avoid hats and jewelry. After a brief intake with the practitioner, get ready to be transported to your own personal space where healing, releasing and freeing yourself from things that no longer serve you are your new reality. Some sleep, some cry, some laugh, some are awake the entire time, some hum along to the music, but no two sessions are alike. Your healing is your healing – whatever needs to be healed is directed by you. Guided by your mind, your body, and your feelings. It’s your healing.

If this sounds like something you wish to experience, then make an appointment today.

Blessings and Light,

Aura Cleansing

On this earth, we are all interconnected and our auras, or the human energy field, constantly interact with the energy field of other beings and the environment. Aura clearing can quickly and easily release energetic blockages from all levels of the energy field, working more quickly than Reiki alone. These blocked patterns can be recent, from childhood, or even from a past life.

For example, if you feel drained or overwhelmed in large crowds or with certain people, then you have experienced this interconnectedness. Your aura, your energy field, picked up the energy of others.

Our personal energy field is affected by interactions with other beings as well our physical environment - electromagnetic pollution, air quality, water quality, food we eat and also our own emotional state.

Most of the time we take care of our physical body, by exercising, drinking plenty of clean water and making healthy food choices; but we also need to take care of our Energy body on regular basis. Aura cleansings help to purify our spirit and bring closure to issues we carry from life state to life state.

There are many ways to cleanse the aura, one of which is taking time for yourself, meditating daily, engaging in arts, listening to your favorite music and anything that nourishes your soul, helps your Energy field stay vibrant and clean.

Energy aura cleansing by a Reiki Master is another powerful tool that can break the cycle of habitual thoughts, actions and negatively we humans think we have to carry with us each day. An aura cleansing is a non-invasive, hands-on technique that is much like a traditional Reiki treatment. The Reiki Master will focus on your outer aura, which is usually a 4-7 foot extension of your physical body, in which Reiki is applied to the aura to release blockages and cleanse the chakras to allow the body, mind and spirit connection to be united, as they should be.

Drinking lots of water and having a light to do list after your treatment is best, as your body, mind and spirit are in flux releasing the old and allowing you to embrace the new energies, thoughts, and ideas enter your consciousness. Out with the old and in with the new is the mantra for this healing treatment.

If you feel like an aura cleansing is a treatment you wish to pursue, contact our Reiki Master to set up an appointment at ReikiWHA@gmail.com to begin your next step toward health and healing.

Cleansing the Aura

Lately, I have been asked more about aura cleansings and what is involved with cleansing a person’s aura. First I think it is of importance to understand what an aura is and understand how powerful it is. Aura is a field of electromagnetic energy that radiates from living things. Your dog, cat, pet spider, fish in their tank swimming around, all are emitting an electromagnetic energy. This energy exists outside the range of normal vision, but can be sensed or felt when that energy is negative, bad, or just not in sync with your frequency. Every day we are connecting and sensing the aura field of other people, objects and things. Even a book, clock and tree emit an aura. 

Cleansing your aura removes the dark, negative energies that linger or have clung onto your psyche. By cleansing the aura, you are allowing for a better positive flow into your personal energy field. If your aura is clouded with the negativity of others, it can prevent you from having or fulfilling your own wishes, dreams, ideals. Carrying around the negativity of others decreases your own energy field and leaves us feeling weak, helpless, even depressed and fearful. 

Your aura is a very important piece in your overall holistic health an if you have accumulated any negative or limiting energy, you will greatly benefit from a Reiki based Aura cleansing. Although as a living being it is impossible to avoid all things negative, but having an aura cleansing it a great way to release that which does not serve you and recharge your own spirit. 

The process itself is much like a Reiki treatment itself. During the session, energy work is also completed on aligning the chakras and bringing body, soul, and mind into alignment. After the cleansing, clients report feeling lighter, happier, more relaxed and an over-all sense of release. 

Aura cleansings are recommended every 3 -6 months to release the accumulation of negativity and to keep your own personal goals in alignment with your mind, soul, and body. 

Contact me today at Reikiwha@gmail.comto schedule your aura cleansing and get ready to release the past, embrace the present, and be your best, tomorrow.

Distance Reiki

Today, as this is written, April 1, 2020 – we all find ourselves in the surreal position of learning a new normal. With schools and businesses closed, living in isolation at home and weirdly searching for a pack of toilet paper, we all adjust day by day to the unbelievable numbers globally and locally that COVID-19 has created in our lives. This is a time of anxiety and confusion; but this is also a time of self-centering and regeneration.

As we social distance from one another, it is a time to also connect via the apps, phones, and computer technology we have access to in this electronic age. It is a time to reconnect as a human being with your fellow human beings – a phone call, a video chat, a letter in the mail can be a lifeline to the ones you love. This small gesture is positive dose of goodness that gives you the spark internally to connect with humanity and does wonders for those receiving your concern.

Anxiety and stress are factors that creep into our psyche and cause us a physical reaction. Whether it is in the form of a headache, dehydration, or fatigue, it all stems from the spinning of our minds as we are either thinking of the past or worrying about the future. Anxiety is a symptom of worry and control. When we worry about what is to come, we are not focused in the moment. Right now. While reading this blog you are probably thinking of 8 different things and 7 of those things are linked to the future. When we are focused on worrying about the future, we miss out on the moment of now. We miss the details of what is happening in your world right now. Enjoying the taste of a fresh brewed cup of coffee; or cracking open that package of girl scout cookies that you were saving. It is those details we lose when we worry about the future and literally do not stop to smell the flowers.

Reiki is a practice that provides you with what you need in the moment you receive it. It is not something that is delayed, to save for a later date; it transmits the healing life force energy to where you need it – whether that is mind, body or spirit. The energy goes to where you need it to heal and release what no longer serves you. If you have physical pain, recurring thoughts or rift in your spirit, Reiki will flow to those areas to bring you peace, calm and healing. It happens during the treatment and is a step toward regaining your health and healing.

Distance Reiki is practiced via video chat with the Reiki Master to perform the treatment. I have witnessed how Reiki, pronounced ray-key, promotes overall balance—balance of the mind, body, and spirit. It is a very simple healing practice. It is a painless, non-invasive treatment that can be used in conjunction with any other medical treatment. Distance Reiki can be performed at any time and may produce highly effective results. As told to me by clients after their treatment, the reported benefits of Reiki included relaxation, less anxiety, less depression, and even pain management. In our social distancing world, these benefits can be obtained by a distance Reiki treatment.  

If you find yourself in need of centering, calming or healing – distance Reiki may be for you. Contact me today to schedule your appointment at Reikiwha@gmail.com

We are all in this together.

From the Light within,
