Animal Reiki I & II

 Animal Reiki energy has a unique frequency of animal life force energy. Put, Animal Reiki is meditating with animals for peace and healing. The biggest benefits of Animal Reiki are stress relief, a strong sense of well-being, and a greater quality of life. This keeps the spirit and original teachings of Usui intact as much as possible while modifying the physical and mental approach of the practitioner to make sure animals are empowered to choose how (and indeed, if) they want to connect for healing. Honoring the choices and wisdom of animals in their unique healing journeys is the most ethical way to help animals with Reiki. 

“The Animal Reiki energy received in this course empowers the practitioner with vitality and life force. The Animal Reiki energy restores the blessings between the animals and the people. It unifies the human and animal consciousness in the Reiki practitioner. The Animal Reiki energy and course heals the people as much as the animals. This class works with the Divine Animal Kingdom as is as much about them healing us, as us healing them. It is a true exchange.”
