Reiki for Pets: Energetic Healing for Soothing Harmony & Health

When choosing alternative therapies for your pet, South San Diego Veterinary Hospital has what you need, including pet Reiki therapy. The word Reiki comes from two Japanese words. Rei, as it is used in 'Reiki,' is interpreted to mean spiritual consciousness, and Ki is the life force. Our Reiki practitioners channel healing energy to your cats and dogs, providing a gentle, noninvasive approach to increasing energy, pain reduction, relaxation, and overall well-being for pets.

The Healing Power of Reiki for Pets

Reiki for pets involves a gentle, hands-on approach where practitioners transfer healing energy to address physical and emotional imbalances. This therapy can be particularly beneficial for pets experiencing anxiety, stress, or recovering from illness or surgery.

How Reiki Works in Veterinary Care

In a veterinary setting, Reiki serves as a complementary treatment. It enhances the body's natural healing process, often leading to faster recovery. Pets receiving Reiki typically exhibit signs of relaxation and comfort, which can be especially beneficial in a clinical environment.

Benefits of Reiki Healing Techniques for Pets

Reiki offers numerous benefits for pets, including:
  • Alleviation of Stress & Anxiety
  • Enhanced Recovery From Surgery or Illness
  • Improved Mood & Energy Levels
  • Relief From Pain & Discomfort
Reiki is safe and noninvasive, making it suitable for pets of all ages and conditions. It's an excellent addition to traditional veterinary care, providing a well-rounded approach to your pet's health and happiness.

  • Reiki: The Usui Method of Healing Animals Holistically

    The Usui method of natural healing, as taught by Hawayo Takata, involves three levels or degrees. The healing energy begins to flow as soon as a practitioner has been initiated. The levels of Reiki are:

    • Level I Reiki: Connects the practitioner to the Reiki channel. 
    • Level II Reiki: Teaches long-distance or remote healing. 
    • Level III Reiki: Initiates the practitioner to become a Reiki Master and teacher.

  • Reiki Initiation & Attunements

    Each level requires its own set of attunements. Reiki initiations are for life. All healers use life force or Ki (Chi), but not all use Reiki. Reiki is given to a student through an attunement process. Reiki initiation attunes a practitioner to become a channel for the Reiki energy. It is a powerful, life-changing experience for growth along your spiritual path. The attunement energies are channeled into the student through the Reiki master. 


    Once someone has received a Reiki attunement, they will have Reiki for the rest of their lives. Once a person receives an attunement, all necessary for the practitioner to use Reiki is to place their hands on the person to be healed with the intention of healing; the Reiki will go where it is most needed. It can never do any harm because it will adjust itself to create the appropriate effect for them.
