You have begun your Reiki practice and received a request to perform Reiki on someone’s pet or livestock. Whether you intend to have a strict animal clientele or a combination of human and animal, one thing is clear: love all animals. By loving, I do not mean you are required to accept a particular species as clientele. I mean, understand all animals are energetic creatures whom we have a spiritual bond with as healers. It will not be spiritually or financially beneficial to you if you cannot understand the energetic strength that animals hold. Animals are more in tune with nature and spirit. Some are just as adept at being healers as you are.
If you have a pet yourself, you understand the love and goodness that sharing space with your animal has in your home life. You also always feel the energy flow between you and your pet. Just as I do with my fur baby, you probably Reiki him or her every day, all the while receiving as well as giving universal energy each time. If you are a healer who is not a pet owner, do not dismiss your ability to help an animal in the healing process. Reiki energy is for everything, including assisting animals. People especially need healers for their animals who have suffered because of the negligence of others.

This is what healers must do with all animals. In performing Animal Reiki, it is up to the healer to be in tune with Reiki energy to where he, she, or they can sympathize completely. This allows for effective removal of the trauma and the pain instilled. A proper explanation about how Reiki helps ease the animal and owner into a safer emotional space should occur at the initial consult. You want the owner to know and feel confident that you are the right healer to assist in this process. Be sure to show your skill in not only Reiki, but your understanding of the emotional intelligence of all animals.
Recommend that the owner receive Reiki simultaneously or separately to help their animal in the healing process. As mentioned, animals are energetic creatures. If the owner is still carrying the pain and trauma for their pet, then it will be difficult to release the trauma in your…
