Welcome to White Stag Reiki

When you spend time around animals, you enter a world where the things that bother us as humans like frustration, stress and worry - has no place or significance. All the over-investment we put into things that realistically have a limited positive contribution to our lives, fades away, and we find ourselves instinctively being kind, showing love and appreciation, all of which are feelings that make us feel good and often help us put things into perspective.

​

You've probably already seen how an animal will assess you before deciding whether or not to come up to you or let you get close to them, some might be nervous initially, but they ultimately make their decisions based on your energy. Animals use energy all the time, they can tell if you are sad, feeling unwell or angry, and their behaviour can often be a reflection of your own energy.

 

Animals sense the healing power of Reiki better than humans because they already understand it, plus, unlike humans, they have no preconceptions. My cat will always come into the room where I am giving a treatment (if allowed of course!) and often lie on my client. When she's had enough she'll leave, and that's one of the reasons why Reiki with animals differs to that of humans. As opposed to the human expectations of receiving Reiki energy, the animals make all the decisions. I offer the Reiki energy to them and they will decide how i.e. hands on/off/from a distance, and very importantly if, they want to receive it. As with most pets (definitely cats!) they're the boss and I know my place!

​

Your intention to use Reiki for your pet will undoubtedly come from a very loving place, and it is because we love them that we want to 'fix' any ailments or behavioural issues they might have. However, if your pet does not want to receive Reiki, then their decision has to be respected. Just as a human will decide whether or not they want to receive Reiki energy, a pet must be allowed to make that decision for themselves too, and not feel like they are being subjected to what we, as humans, think is best for them.

​

As with Human Reiki, Animal Reiki is a gentle complementary therapy that helps promote relaxation and natural healing. Reiki energy is used to heal the mind, body and the spirit, but it is important to understand that it is not a replacement for traditional Veterinary care, however, it can work very well alongside it.

​

In person (at their home) and distance Reiki is available for animals.
