About Reiki and Energy Therapy

"Reiki is an ancient hands-on healing art that brings harmony to the body, mind, and spirit."
– Jeri Mills, M.D. author of Tapestry of Healing and Healing is Believing

Reiki is universal “life force energy”. Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese technique for healing. “Rei” means universal and “Ki” means life energy. The word “Ki” is also Chi in Chinese, Prana in Sanskrit, and Ti or Ki in Hawaiian. All of these mean life force. Everything that is alive has energy. The more energy one has, the more one can experience life and be a part of life. Reiki is a form of healing energy that is channeled from an attuned healer. This energy allows one to open to healing and new ways of being. It enhances relaxation, encourages self-awareness and adds a feeling of love and joy to one's life. This then creates an environment for healing to occur. This “life force energy” is spiritually guided and allows one to heal on different levels. Since it is spiritually guided, the recipient needs to be open to whatever form the healing takes and know that whatever the form is, it is for their highest good.

Reiki is very gentle but powerful. It has been know to aid in cases such as cancer, heart disease, broken bones, stress, emotional issues, and much more. A Reiki Practitioner is a channel for the energy and is therefore not actually “doing” the healing. Reiki works on many levels: mind, body, emotion, and spirit. Therefore the recipient's body determines the actual flow of energy. Reiki aids the body's natural ability to heal physical aliments and opens the mind and spirit to the causes of disease, disharmony, and/or pain.

This non-invasive therapy requires the recipient to be open and willing to explore new possibilities for living. During a Reiki treatment the Reiki Practitioner transfers universal “life force energy” to the recipient. This safe, non-manipulative treatment requires no particular belief system and is effective with all who are open to the energy. During the treatment, the recipient remains fully clothed. This healing session allows the recipient to relax and go within. Individuals may or may not fall asleep during a treatment. Reiki opens a space for energy, joy, love, and forgiveness to enter. All will experience something on some level. Reiki is deeply relaxing and beneficial and is not contraindicated by any condition. Experience the joy and relaxation that Reiki provides!

Energy Therapy and Animals

Animals typically are familiar with the "world of energy". They communicate with each other in this realm and naturally know if a particular ‘energy' is appropriate. Therefore, Peg has found that most companion animals and horses are very open and receptive to Reiki. Reiki is universal "life-force energy" and is pronounced (ray key). "Rei" means universal and "Ki" means life force. It is an ancient Japanese technique that enhances well-being and promotes balance. It is a gentle, non-invasive energy that works on many levels. Reiki is a form of energy therapy that is channeled from an attuned practitioner. It has been known to aid in providing relaxation, assist with behavioral issues, and much more. It compliments all healing modalities.*

Peg has been offering Reiki to animals from the beginning of her journey with Reiki. When giving Reiki to animals, Peg allows the animal to dictate the length of treatment and whether or not the animal is touched. Peg creates an energetic connection with the animal and allows the session to progress. Often times she receives additional information regarding the animal's health and well-being. If this does occur, she will pass this information on to the human companion. Like humans, animals suffer from stress and anxiety. Animals at times may be aggressive, have fear issues, lack concentration, or lack cooperation. Reiki and Energy Therapy assist with these issues. Animals that have been rescued often times require several sessions to bring about trust, peace, and harmony with their human companion. It is worth mentioning that ‘service animals' greatly appreciate the loving energy that a session with Peg provides. These animals in particular give so much, and Reiki treats the entire animal: mind, body, and spirit. Another benefit of Reiki is that it can assist animals that are making their transition by offering comfort, relief from pain, fear, and anxiety. This is a soothing way to ease the transition to death and at the same time provide loving support to the dying animal's family. Reiki is always a gift.

Peg has found that once Reiki has established a compassionate framework, additional energy therapy can be given that will aid in releasing trauma or trapped emotional issues. One such technique that Peg uses is Dr. Bradley Nelson's The Emotion Code, which is a process that releases rapped emotions. These trapped emotions can result in undesirable behaviors, difficulty concentrating, and even the underlying cause of physical and mental imbalance. According to Dr. Nelson, “Much of our suffering is due to negative emotional energies that have become trapped within us. The Emotion Code is a simple and powerful method of finding and releasing theses trapped energies. Domesticated animals, like humans, respond to this treatment in a positive manner. Often times, the shifts that occur happen quickly for animals because they don't pretend that they are feeling a certain way. Their way of being is totally authentic and in the present moment.

In addition, Peg may use essential oils to aid or enhance a treatment. Peg is a distributor for Young Living Essential Oils, which are pure therapeutic-grade essential oils. Essential oils are the aromatic liquids found within shrubs, flowers, trees, root, bushes, resins, and seeds. Young Living Essential Oils are nature's living energy and provide therapeutic assistance. Since the olfactory system is so closely connected to the limbic system, these oils when inhaled have a profound physiological and psychological effect.

Peg's intent along with the various tools that she has acquired over the years, create a safe space for transformation on a deep level. The shifts that result can then open a space for new learning, greater companionship, peace, and joy. Often times more than one session will be required because Peg allows the animal to dictate the length of the session. This approach communicates to the animal that they are safe and in control of the process.

These therapies can be given in person and as a distance treatment. Distance treatments are the same as in-person sessions. The same flow of energy and relief is experienced except that Peg is not physically with the client. Energy therapy opens a space for relaxation, joy, love, acceptance, and peace. Give your pet a treat and offer them the gift that Peg can provide!
