Reiki healing started in the East but it is a concept that goes far back as people. Essentially, Reiki is the “laying on of hands” to promote health, wellness and well being. The idea is that we all, people and animals, have a “life force,” an energy running through us. When that energy is low we are more likely to experience illness and stress.

In this day, pets often need this energetic spiritual healing as much as people. Whether stressed in reaction to something going on in their world or their family—such as a move or family member leaving for college—or as a result of past neglect or —too common in this age where the loss of one’s home is a reality for pets as well as people.

Reiki seeks to soothe those disparate feelings in dogs. It can return them to a relaxed, stress-less state where they feel loved and experience overall well-being.
