Product Description
Ideal for animal lovers who are interested in exploring complementary therapies, this book provides a thorough introduction to reiki, including step-by-step instructions for treating animals. Along the way, the authors relate stories drawn from their years of healing animals to show the power of this alternative method.

Animal reiki reveals how reiki treatments make animals active partners in the healing process, how reiki helps to develop the healer's intuition, and how reiki deepens the bond between humans and animals. Animal reiki offers noninvasive, gentle treatments for animals while helping humans deepen their understanding of and ability to communicate with animals.

Reader Reviews
I really can't say enough about this book! I routinely offer Reiki to my daughter's elderly dogs when I'm at her house taking care of grandkids. After reading this book and using some of the valuable tips and suggestions, I now have the dogs waiting at the door for me to come give them their "treatment." The chihuahua will yip and yap until he gets what he wants, and the older dog puts his hind-quarters right under my hands! I've also used the methods from this book on our neighbors' cows that strayed onto our ranch. The first time, they stood watching me very intently. The second time, I had four calves come up to me and one sniffed my hand and then licked it a couple of times. These are all cattle that are not tame in any way and are normally pretty wary. The next day, when I was walking to my car, that same calf left his mother's side to practically stand in my way--as if to say, "More, please!" (I knew it was the same one because it has an ear tag and I remembered the number!) Recently, I've been sending Reiki, according to the book's methods, to a feral cat that we've been feeding. Before I started doing that, she would keep her distance from me and run if I got too close. Just today I sent her Reiki from a distance of about ten feet. She got up, stretched and came up to within about 4 feet of me, curled up and closed her eyes and dozed. She was quite relaxed. This made me very happy because it's one of the indications the authors mention that an animal will show when it is accepting and enjoying Reiki. I think the most important thing I learned from the book was that we should ask the animals first if they wish to receive Reiki, and to tell them to take only as much as they want. Allowing them to make the decision instead of you making it for them is the key here. I look forward to continuing to use the principles from this book every chance I get.
