Animal Reiki is not simply a flow of energy into matter, the heart center of the channel is equally involved in the process or the healing session. There is a sharing of spiritual energy or healing vibrations that take place among the receiver and the giver. In the process they both gain benefit from each other.
So in this process when the practitioner offers reiki, he or she also receives back a certain amount of healing vibes from the animal in return of the healing offered. Again the reason is hard for some people to understand or accept, that animals are more spiritual and energy sensitive than the so evolved human beings.We invest immense dedication, practice and discipline to grow and evolve spiritually, whereas it comes naturally to animals. Spiritual energy is a natural form of energy present everywhere, in nature. All around us. It cannot be destroyed, it cannot be created. It can only be accessed by us and shared by us. It is present inside each one of us, sometimes we recognize it naturally, other times we gain access to it through conscious efforts and practices of meditation, therapy, tantra etc.

Practice Technique – One to One Animal Reiki Session
- First and foremost ground yourself, cleanse your own aura, focus upon mind body spirit as a whole. Then align your energy by taking some deep breaths. Release any kind of anxiety or concern, doubts or confusions out of your mind. Simply get into a relaxed state and step into the present moment. Now, mentally invite the animal into your Reiki mind space. Mentally, ask permission for healing, from the animal and wait to receive the answer in your heart space.
- Once you have sought permission from the animal, maintain a physical distance of just how much feels comfortable to you and the animal. Remember animal reiki is not touch healing, so there is no need for you to touch the animal unless the animal wants to come closer and touch you. Also learn about basic animal signs of that species before you come in for the session. This will come handy in understanding the mood and behavior through gestures, sounds and body language of the animal.
- After the above two steps, you may invoke the energy and connect to your spiritual team, guides or masters and give momentum to your healing session. You may also start by drawing Cho Ku Rei (CKR) in your mind space or in the air.
- Henceforth, imagine a beam of light coming out of your palm, with one or both your palms in open position. Allow the energy to flow through your palms towards the animal. Give option to the animal, to use their freewill to physically come in the range of healing light from your palms. The animal may sometimes come and go, allow them, whichever way they like. Do not force the animal in any way to come to you or within the Reiki rays. Let them decide for themselves.
- You simply become the channel for Reiki to flow through you while you meditate with the animal. You can choose to keep your attention with the animal in the room or you can simply go to your mind Reiki space. Remember that your relaxed state enhances the smooth movement of energy.
- A good observation will help you assess the direction of the session. Relaxed state is a quick sign to look for to assess the acceptability of Reiki by the animal. If the animal looks relaxed, means energy is being shared successfully.
Drawing Reiki session to a close
- Often when it’s time to draw the session to a close, the animal may get active again. It works as a confirmation to bring session to a close.
- Sometimes the animal may sleep through the end of the session. In such a case, allow your intuition to guide you when to end the session.
- Another clue that helps in deciding closure of the session, is the decline in the level of energy. You may feel the energy slowing down. Sometimes, the animal becoming active or sometimes exhibiting signs of discomfort.
- While drawing the session to a close, remember to thank the Reiki energy. Also in your mind, thank the animal for sharing with you the spiritual space. You may also want to draw CKR again to close the session. Cut cord or break the state, for the animal as well as yourself. Be grateful for the opportunity. After the session, you may wash your hands under running water and drink some water to fully ground yourself.
Great Reminders and Tips
- When offering distance healing you can use the photo of the animal as a surrogate to connect to them.
- Creating intentions using the name of the animal helps in developing a good bond and easy exchange of energies.
- Make use of Reiki symbols where ever need be, follow your intuition combined with your knowledge base to decide what to use when.

- Before invoking the energy its good to get in touch with your spiritual team as well as the animals.
- Through out the session be mindful of all the impressions and messages that you may receive which will help in carrying the healing more effectively.
