Reiki for Dogs Healing Through Touch
Reiki for dogs involves the practitioner putting his or her hand lightly on or near the dog's body. The dog may enter a state of deep relaxation or sleep.The best way to understand what reiki means is to translate it from the Japanese. "Rei" can be interpreted to mean "universal" and "ki" is the life force which runs through us all. Different hand positions are used, depending on the condition being treated. Reiki practitioners say dogs seem to intuitively understand its power to heal. How Did Reiki Start?
Dr. Mikao Usui originated the system of healing in 1922 based first on his mystical experience on Mt. Kurama and then later by making use of his studies in many different areas of knowledge. A practitioner connects with the universal life force and then channels it through her hands to the dog she is working with. He or she works on various points on the body that correspond to its seven chakras. Reiki reduces stress, increases relaxation and clears the chakras of blockages caused by negative thoughts and energy. It can also speed physical healing.
