Ever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Reiki&nbsp;is a gentle, noninvasive, holistic energy healing system that yields powerful results for body, mind, and spirit.&nbsp;Reiki&nbsp;is a wonderful healing tool for pain relief following surgery, easing symptoms of chronic conditions, calming an animal\u2019s anxiety and fear, and easing the transition at the end of life.&nbsp;Reiki&nbsp;can be offered in conjunction with rehabilitation or as individual&nbsp;Reiki&nbsp;sessions.<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>DISTANCE<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>REIKI<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to be present to receive Reiki energy. Energy is everywhere, and all it needs is intention and the ability to \u2018send\u2019 it. The practitioner&#8217;s focus and intention make it work. Energy, unlike matter, is not subject to the laws of time and space.I <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>REIKI FOR ANIMALS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reiki&nbsp;is ideal for use with animals because it is gentle and noninvasive. It doesn\u2019t cause stress, discomfort, or pain, and yet yields powerful results. Animals respond intuitively to&nbsp;Reiki\u2018s power to heal emotional, behavioral, and physical illnesses and injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For animals who are healthy,&nbsp;Reiki&nbsp;helps to maintain their health, enhances relaxation and provides an emotional sense of peace and contentment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For animals who are ill,&nbsp;Reiki&nbsp;is a wonderful healing method as well as a safe complement to Western Medicine, Chinese Medicine, homeopathy, flower essences, and all other forms of healing. For example,&nbsp;Reiki&nbsp;can reduce the side effects of chemotherapy, support an acupuncture or acupressure treatment, and enhance the effects of all modalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"214\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/mypurposepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-272\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypurposepath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/michelle-dory.jpg\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For animals with behavioral issues, especially fear-based aggression or anxiety,&nbsp;Reiki&nbsp;is a powerful tool to help them relax and stop the cycle of panic or anxiety. For animals in transition,&nbsp;Reiki&nbsp;is a powerful yet gentle way to provide comfort, relief from pain, fear, and anxiety, and to ease the transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BrightHaven Animal Sanctuary has used Reiki with its animals for years.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.brighthaven.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Learn more!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Watch for Animal Reiki classes this fall!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I offer Reiki for people and their pets.
