Reiki on Horses

Reiki is a Japanese word for universal life-force energy. It is a healing technique performed by laying of hands to re-balance the body’s energy, reduce pain, and produce well-being. Reiki is a safe, non-intrusive healing energy which channels itself to where it is needed to help open energy blockages and stimulate the body’s natural healing ability.

Please note: Reiki complements veterinarian care and does not replace it.

Where does the session take place?

• At cross tie.
• In the horse’s stall.
• In the paddock.

How is a session conducted?

• A session, especially the first one, might begin with some grooming and cleaning of the horse’s face.
• Horse is asked telepathically whether s/he would like to accept the Reiki energy healing.
• Once accepted Reiki healing is commenced.
• A session is a series of hand positions applied either with light-touch directly on or close to the horse’s body.
• In "distant healing" the horse is at a visible range in a fenced field.

Session preparation

• Make sure the horse is fed and is cleaned up prior to the session.

Other considerations:

• Depending on the situation I might need  someone familiar to the horse to stay with us. It could be only at the beginning of the session or through the entire session.
• After a session, if possible, do let your horse rest at least for the rest of the day or preferably 24 hours.

Number of sessions

I believe horses benefit tremendously from Reiki healing however I respect your decision about when to request the next session for your horse.

Based on past experiences sessions could be:

• On request.
•  Regular weekly basis.
• 3-6 concentrated sessions within 1-3 weeks.   
• 14 concentrated sessions within 7 weeks, with 2 consecutive days per week.
