Reiki For Your Dog
Reiki (ray-key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is shared by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. Reiki comes from the Japanese Rei and Ki meaning spiritually guided life energy. This definition is from reiki.org and applies to animals and people alike. For that matter, one can Reiki ANYTHING…I have used Reiki on my computer, vehicles and pretty much everything.
Reiki can help many physical and emotional issues that our dogs have. It seems that the longer they live with man, the more problems they seem to develop. Eckhart Tolle commented that he is surprised dogs are able to stay as sane as they DO!
• Anxiety and stress-related behavioral problems (thunderstorms, 4th of July, travel, etc.)
• Chronic pain or discomfort like hip dysplasia and arthritis
• Heart disease and cancer management
• Helps rescued dogs assimilate into their new loving home (yours)
• Ease the transition for dogs near death (this has been a great help for me and my own dogs)
Reiki is shared with hand positions that are specific to each type of Reiki. Each position is used to create a certain energy outcome to help bring your dog into balance. Many Reiki practitioners use Reiki on the dog’s chakras to balance the dog. Then they concentrate on the specific area that may be of concern. For example, I go over my dog I am working with, balance their chakras using Reiki, and then I go back and concentrate on the area of concern. I also use my The Blissful Dog Vibrational Essences in conjunction with Reiki as I work on specific issues.
Dogs have the same chakra systems that people do (for the most part) with extra centers in their paws, etc. This is covered my Dog Chakra article.
These charkas are specifically connected to different glands in your dog. Reiki will make the glands release hormones directly into the blood stream and control all aspects of your dogs daily activities and healthy thinking. The key is balance…all things in moderation and in balance!
Reiki is a gentle but powerful healer. It will balance your dog’s energy, organs, and glands. It has proven to strengthen immune systems, relieve pain, clears toxins, and enhances personal awareness while relaxing your dog.

I have done Reiki for years but I have to admit that I have never tried it on a dog before. I think I will give it a go now!
What a great article. When I slipped a disk in my back I had a chiropractor come to the house and Bailey, my cockapoo, would always pop up on the table. Then I started doing Svaroopa Yoga (which is WONDERFUL!) so I have the mat and blanket pillow set up in the bedroom. Bailey does his morning stretch there every day. It’s amazing. He helps remind me to not only do my yoga practice but to live well and seek joy in little things. “He sure knows how to show joy in every little thing”.
