Pet lovers are turning to Animal Reiki to heal the animals because is has been reported to improve their pet's health, happiness and heal their pets - physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually using nothing more than pure vibrational energy and the palm of your hands.

Moey?s Story

As a Reiki Master, I?ve seen and experienced the many benefits of Reiki with human beings. This was a given. Little did I realize how powerful and receptive our dear friends, we call pets, are to Reiki until my Moey was hit by a car. We were advised by the vet that the bones in her hind, right leg were severely crushed. The prognosis was dim that the leg could be saved. However, knowing the power of Reiki, I told him not to amputate the leg.

And so, for one solid week, I provided Reiki healing to my Moey. Because of the tremendous amount of pain she was in, I did the healing sessions remotely. In my private sanctuary, I would send her healing Reiki energy four times a day, for 15 to 20 minutes each session. I could see her progressing daily and was anxious to hear the results from the vet. She was examined one week later. The bones had nearly healed completely! The cast was removed and she walked on all fours! Not only did she walk?she ran, she climbed, she jumped!

There is no doubt in my mind that had she not received the healing benefits of Reiki, Moey?s leg would have been amputated. I am thankful that I was able to be a catalyst in the healing process.
