Animals are very open to Reiki, they seem to understand its power to heal. Reiki is gentle & non-invasive. It does not cause stress, discomfort, or pain, and yet it can yield good results. There is no physical manipulation or pressure applied during a treatment. Animals know instinctively when & where they need healing and how much they want. Animals suffer emotionally just as their humans do. They can feel fear, anxiety, frustration, loneliness, boredom & grief as well as the more positive emotions. Reiki can also help to heal old emotional traumas that may still be causing problems long after the event. It can relieve stress & promote mental & physical relaxation. Reiki can also alleviate signs & symptoms of many illnesses and injuries. Healing triggers the release of natural endorphins that have pain relieving & 'feel good' effects. The body's own healing ability is enhanced.
