Anyone can benefit from a course of Reiki treatments, regardless of age or state of health, and beneficial changes can take place over a fairly short space of time. Below are some of the problems or areas that I and others have found Reiki to help with:
Physical Injuries (tendons/ ligaments etc)
Sweet Itch
Laminitis
Colic
Box walking
Competition stress (for horse and rider!)
Performance
Wind sucking
Cribbing
Owner horse relationship
Loading problems
Appetite loss
Separation Anxiety
If your equine has any symptoms of illness you should call your vet.
Reiki is safe and will compliment any form of complementary or medical treatment.
The law currently states that before your horse receives a Reiki treatment you must gain veterinary consent. Before a Reiki practitioner will not diagnose or recommend any form of treatment.
After the treatment your horse will be processing the energy shared. Please allow 24 hours before carrying out intense exercise, so that your horse gets the most out of his/her treatment.
Please allow your horse time to rest and to have some peace and quiet, this will help the energy do its work.
Often an animal will drink more water in the few hours after a Reiki treatment. Please be aware of this and keep their water topped up.
There are many ways in which animals release during and after a treatment. One of these is to urinate. Please make sure your pet has access to relieve himself.
Animals are likely to experience some benefit after receiving one Reiki treatment, but to gain the greatest benefit from Reiki, it is advised to have a course of 4 - 6 treatments at weekly intervals, which allows the beneficial effects to build momentum and become more long lasting.
Last but not least… remember, our animals see in pictures… if we are constantly picturing them behaving in a way that is unwanted, we are actually encouraging it to happen. Try to imagine your pet healthy, happy and well whenever you think of him – where thought goes, energy flows!
