But That’s Not Reiki!
But that’s not Reiki! A colleague recently mentioned someone said this about the Let Animals Lead® method of Animal Reiki by Kathleen Prasad that we practice. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but the conversation has bugged me since. Sure, we aren’t drawing symbols everywhere and placing our hands on an animal’s …

Reiki & Petsitting: A Perfect Combination
As pet sitters, we often encounter animals who are afraid, timid, confused or stressed because they are alone with a stranger in their home.

I knew from previous visits the turkeys were very receptive to Reiki. I sat on a low fence rail just inside the turkey enclosure. As I began my practice, the …
Reiki Finds Us When We Need it Most
Some years ago, my young, off the track Thoroughbred mare was just home from colic surgery. It was day one of 30 days stall rest, with five-minute grazing sessions throughout the day. She had many complications and was not out of the woods. I was a wreck as you can imagine. Day one, first graze, …

What is Animal Reiki? A Google search might leave you a little bewildered because of the differing approaches and perspectives.
