Reiki (pronounced: Ray-key) is an energy healing technique, originating from the Japanese word (Rei) which means “Universal Life” and (Ki) which means “Energy”. It is a gentle and effective form of energy work and helps to return your body to its natural balance, the triad of body, mind and spirit. As Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not affiliated with any particular religion or religious practice. Life energy flows through all living things and Reiki Practitioners understand that everyone has the ability to connect with their own healing energy. When the energy flows freely, we can tap into unknown reserves of power. When the energy becomes weak or blocked (often said to be caused by negative thinking, unhealed trauma, or stress) it could lead to symptoms of physical or emotional imbalance. Reiki can help relieve stress, promote relaxation, increase awareness, relieve pain and have a positive effect on all negative conditions.    

Animals are very sensitive to energy and love receiving Reiki energy. Reiki corrects energy imbalances in an animal’s body and can occur from a distance. It is ideal for pets because it is gentle and noninvasive.
