Reiki Healing for Animals

I am now offering Usui Reiki distance energy healing treatments for animals by appointment.  I thought to offer this healing a few years ago, but lacked practice and experience. I now feel I have the experience to make Reiki available for pets and other animal friends. 

I have just completed my third successful energy healing for an animal, my own little dog, who suffered a "central nervous system event" according to the vet. The symptoms seemed stroke-like to me.

The first symptom was that the dog walked in quick and tight circles from time to time one afternoon, as if he was chasing his tail. The next morning, the dog was unable to move, had breathing difficulty, seemed "frozen" and near death. 

As I had never seen anything like this before and wanted to be sure the dog had not been poisoned, a trip to the vet and some antibiotics was my first action.  For three days I just held the little dog, offering 5 minute sessions of Reiki off and on through out the day. This healing was calming, and the panic left his eyes, his breathing returned to a more normal rate ( it had been very heavy and very fast ) and the muscles in his body relaxed somewhat. 

I went for a second opinion on his health three days later - on a Monday - and the veterinarians' suggestion was that as the dog was unlikely to have any quality of life that it might be wise to euthanize him at that visit. I was surprised by the comment, and instead opted for the addition of prednisone to his medication regimen. 

At the beginning of the CNSE, my little "Yorkipoo mix" could not raise his head at all. He required syringe feeding for water. He required soft canned foods and spoon feeding. This took time as the paralysis affected his jaw and he could not open his mouth. So, carefully, carefully, he had to lick the food from the spoon as best he could.

The dog could not move at all for almost a week and had lost control of his bodily functions. Needless to say, I bought a good many lap pads.

I decided to provide little Momo the best end of life care possible, and  I continued to treat him with Usui Reiki. Now, as this was a bizarre event, I did not offer very long Reiki sessions, but a series of short treatments through out the day. 

As I am very lucky to be blessed with friends in Reiki, Momo also received distant energy treatments from some very loving healers in town. As I write this,  some five weeks post event, he is happily wandering the house.  He has regained control of his body. He can drink from a bowl, eat from a bowl, is once again house broken, and has regained his bark.

At present the symptom we are working on is his wandering. He seems to enjoy exploring the house, however, I know this pacing to be a lingering symptom of the event. At present his central nervous system still seems to cause him to be in motion. As well, he is not yet able to always come in a straight path when called, but must come in a series of  arc and circles, although very happy to arrive for pets!

He is however able to find his crate and pause for a rest and a nap as need be. He has regained some spirit or personality and all in all, the consensus of friends and family is that the dog has had a "miraculous" recovery.

The second animal in my care that was healed with Usui Reiki was an elderly Siamese cat who had become very aggressive. In fact, he too was to be euthanized as his violent attacks on his care givers were frequent. The cat would bite the human arm, hold on, and then just shred the flesh with his claws. 

Having seen the result of this attack, it was clear this animal was emotionally quite disturbed and a danger to others - both human and feline. As his primary care giver (away from the home and unable to return to care for the cat due to work restrictions) learned of the impending death of his pet he asked me to take the cat and try to care for it as best I could.

I thought I might be a bit crazy for taking on this project, however, it was the right thing to do and at the time I had room for one more.  I will save the story of the healing of "Chi Baby", a lovely, lilac point Siamese cat for another post. The outcome is successful, and very lovely. 

I will continue to post on the topic of Reiki for animals, and to add a donation button to my site for those who wish to order energy healing for their pets. Should you require healing for your animal friend before the site is updated, please do not hesitate to contact me via email.

Emotional Freedom Technique - A submission by Allison Brooks

I am very pleased to publish an article submitted by Allison Brooks for your review. Although I have not met Ms. Brooks personally, she submitted the following article which I believe you will find helpful. (As with all posts to this blog, the purpose is to broaden awareness of healing modalities, and not to replace medical advice or treatments.)

With best regards,

Emotional Freedom Technique 

Invented by Gary Craig, the Emotional Freedom Technique--EFT--was first introduced to the public in 1993. The technique is based on the belief that negative thoughts and emotions create disturbances in a person's field of energy, resulting in the anxiety and depression. These imbalances of energy and emotions can lead to further imbalances of the immune system, resulting in sickness or other pains.

Sometimes, if these imbalances go unnoticed for periods of time, it can result in cancer. And since a diagnosis is stressful enough, negative thoughts can hinder healing. Many patients usually search for ways to control pain, anxiety and other negative occurrences without turning to the use of additional drugs. An increasing number of individuals are searching for natural and non-invasive treatments, even when no distinct cure can be offered.

The Process

As a type of complementary treatment, EFT is regarded by certain individuals as a form of psychotherapy. Practitioners try to assist the person to manipulate his or her body's energy field by training the patient to visualize a traumatic episode or memory in his or her life or while tapping on specific acupressure points. In this way, the Emotional Freedom Technique is similar to acupuncture and healing touch therapies, as well as other therapies that attempt to manipulate the energy field of the body.

Practitioners spend some initial time talking with the patient in his or her first therapy session, which allows the patient to speak of whatever concerns or issues he or she might have. Those suffering generally seek relief from anxiety and depression, although therapists state that numerous patients also hope the Emotional Freedom Technique will help relieve their pain.

After these issues are addressed, the EFT practitioner will proceed to show the patient the areas on which to tap and how to use the technique properly. Patients learn to make positive statements while tapping, such as "while I may sometimes experience depression, I wholly accept both my situation and myself." Some of the tapping areas may originate from the wrists and continue to the head, temple, eyebrow, under the eyes, nose, collarbone, chin, or underarm area. Proponents of the technique adhere to the belief that verbalizing acceptance of the problem will promote realignment of the energy field of the body.

Although the program's founder states that numerous individuals treated with EFT have shown improvement, there is not yet any scientific evidence to support this statement, or the claims that the progression of the cancer can be slowed through its use. However, there is no risk associated with the technique and there have been reports of cancer patients feeling better emotionally after participating in this treatment. Many doctors and patients with a low-survivability rate cancer, such as non-hodgkin’s lymphoma or pleural mesothelioma, swear by EFT. They said the positivity EFT brought them after treatments, made them feel more acceptant of the conventional treatments.

Anxiety, Self-Doubt, and Fear. Distance Reiki treatments can restore balance.

Since the end of May, I have received many calls from clients who are experiencing an unnatural increase in anxiety, fears about the future, and doubts about their own ability to succeed. These are all bright, successful people who have a history of material, emotional and spiritual success.

What seems to be happening is that they are "off center", and not without reason. The mainstream media in particular, which must report the news as it sees fit, presents a picture of our world and our planet that is most unsettling. During this time of global economic transition, many people are rightly fearful, and my post is not intended to dismiss the concerns anyone is having about their emotional or financial welfare at this time.

I do intend information for new clients who are wondering if Usui Reiki will benefit them, help them to feel more balanced, confident and emotionally secure. I am pleased to refer you to an article by a skilled Usui Reiki Master who speaks to the effectiveness of Reiki to address emotional concerns.

Energetically, one of the symptoms of stress and anxiety is an overactivity in the third eye chakra, while the crown chakra may be closed or restricted. Sometimes the throat chakra is also restricted.. meaning that the "size" or the "stregnth" of the energy moving in that wheel is less than other energy centers in the central column. This occurs because our "minds run away with us", causing us to become mentally transfixed by our worries an concerns.

Media, the financial troubles of friends and family, announcements about war, budget deficits are disturbing, and of course give "just cause" for more thinking about troubles. As well, some people are actually turning the stress inwards, blaming themselves for not being better protected, for not making better decisions, for a long list of actions not taken to ensure quality of life.

The metaphysical, and energetic constant is change. Everything, including our energy bodies, functions best in a balanced flux, a give and take if you will. However, worry can cut it's own groove in the energy record we play each day.. and over time, worry, no matter how well founded, corrupts the natural movement of energy through the chakras.

Usui Reiki is an energy modality that seeks to restore a natural balance to the human energy field. Natural in that the balance is your own rhythm.. the heart beat that is natural for you. In so doing, restricted chakras are loosed, wide open chakras are calmed, and the energy body gradually comes to rest in a condition of equipose.

It would be lovely if one could "think" one's way out of stress and anxiety, but troubles of the mind are often best addressed by healing the body, either through Reiki, massage or acupuncture. All these methods bypass the mind to create harmony in the body, thus making the body a more comfortable resting place for the mind.

Remote or distance Reiki healing is particularly helpful to combat stress, tension and anxiety because the treatment only requires that you relax, reclining comfortably at home, and allow the practitioner to send the healing energy to you. You don't have to drive, meet someone new, get dressed.. take time from your day... just choose an evening when you will have about 20 uninterrupted minutes to receive your energy healing.

I have provided a few links back my site to provide you more information, and am certain that if you are interest in choosing to schedule a Reiki treatment you will be able to find a healer you are comfortable working with. I invite you to remember that the universe is unfolding perfectly, that there really is plenty of love, money, peace, and prosperity for everyone. When we recall and vibrate at that frequency, our world becomes a better place.

Thank you for your kind attention to my post. I wish you every happiness.
