We are just conduits for the healing energy which has its own innate wisdom about what needs to be healed. Ask for highest good for the animals on all levels, believing in the healing intelligence of Reiki.
Before a treatment I am preparing myself. I know that animal will recognize and be affected by my emotions. I try to calm and center myself as much as possible before beginning a treatment.
Find a quiet place and a comfortable position to give a treatment, build trust, respect boundaries – they are very important aspects to make a bond with animals. Animals want us to be well and safe and they want the same for themselves. They also like when we talk to them.
