Reiki Healing For Cats 2021

Most responsible owners only want the very best for their cats and to this end many invest in a variety of products and equipment that help improve and enrich their cat’s life.

Many cat owners also seek out complimentary therapies that can help achieve these objectives which can be used either when they have problems or as a preventative method of helping their cat’s well being.

One such complementary therapy is Reiki Healing.

What is Reiki?

Reiki, pronounced “ray-key”, is derived from two Japanese words which loosely translate to “Universal Life-force energy”.

This ‘life force energy’ refers to the natural energy that is invisible but is all around us and is freely available for everyone. This invisible energy also runs throughout our bodies.

At times our energy levels are depleted, and the energy flow in our bodies becomes slow or is ‘trapped’ and ‘blocked’. This can lead to feelings of tiredness and a general lack of energy. In fact, we often say things like “I’ve got no energy today” or “my body feels out of cirque today” don’t we? This can be because our internal energy is trapped or blocked.

Reiki works on the basis that the person who gives the Reiki (sometimes known as a ‘Reiki healer’) taps into this natural energy source and acts as a conduit by transferring some energy through their hands to the person or animal receiving the Reiki.

Reiki is a very gentle and totally natural non-manipulative healing therapy, which anyone can do either on themselves or other people, as well as for animals too. Dogs love Reiki!

It simply involves laying hands gently on various parts of the body and holding the position for a few minutes before moving the hands to another position.

Or, you can hover your hands over the body without actually touching.

There is no pulling, pushing or prodding or any form of manipulation. There is no invasion such as with needles and no potions or tablets are involved either. It is purely about gently placing hands on the body or hovering over the body, transferring this energy to the receiver helping to create a healthy energy flow to encourage the receiver’s body to self-heal.

How could Reiki benefit my cat?

Cats share a very similar body structure to humans. Just like us they have a framework of bones covered in skin to protect the comparable range of internal organs and so consequently cats can suffer from a similar range of both physical and psychological illnesses and conditions as we do.

Of course as we know there’s a legal requirement that a sick or injured cat is treated by a qualified vet but the great thing is once the illness or condition has been diagnosed and an appropriate treatment prescribed, it is highly possible to use Reiki alongside this treatment to help complement the work of the vet and speed up the healing process.

Reiki is a holistic therapy so simultaneously it can assist your cat on a physical level at the same time as helping with any emotional issues such as stress or anxiety – in fact it’s possible both are interrelated.

One of the biggest benefits of Reiki is its calming effect, which can really help cats that are a bit nervous or ‘stress’. Therefore, a ‘dose’ of Reiki could be ideal to help relax your cat whenever they find themselves in any stressful situations.

Phew! that’s an impressive list isn’t it?

Many cats find a Reiki session so relaxing that they fall asleep either during or after the session has finished.

Because Reiki is so simple to perform there is no need to carry out any preparation prior to giving a session. You can start and finish giving Reiki as and when you want to or when it’s required.

However, it always has to be the cat’s choice whether they want the Reiki and it should never be forced on any cat, or other animal, if they either don’t want Reiki that day and, any session should stop when your cat decides “I’ve had enough energy for now thanks!”

In fact, they’ll just walk away!

It’s uncanny how cats can sense the energy that radiates from the person giving the Reiki and will often make an approach and place their nose, or paw in the hands of the Reiki giver and start purring. It’s their way of saying “Hey give me some of that wonderful Reiki”. It’s lovely when this happens.

The awesome thing is Reiki is very gentle and simple and can do no harm, only potentially good things for your cats.

So how do I get some Reiki for my cat?

There are basically 3 ways that you can get some Reiki for your cat.

1) Book a Reiki session

You can seek out a Reiki practitioner near to your location and book him or her to come to your home to give your cat a session. You will obviously need to pay a fee.

Prices vary but you should expect to pay around $60 [£50] for a 45-minute session. Be aware though that you might need several sessions to work on a particular problem. Reiki shouldn’t be considered a ‘one hit wonder’. Also bear in mind that your cat might not be receptive to the Reiki on the day and time you have booked and paid for the session, assuming they haven’t gone ‘walk about’ at the time anyway! You should never force any cat to have Reiki.

2) Attend a training course and learn yourself

Anyone and everyone have the ability to give Reiki healing. No special skills are required and you do not need to be ‘gifted’ in any way as some Reiki practitioners might lead you to believe!

The key to being able to give Reiki healing is to be ‘attuned’ to Reiki. This is a short harmless process that releases your natural in-built ability to give Reiki. This atonement forms part of a training course where you should receive a manual and guidance on how to give Reiki to people and even yourself. Only a Reiki Master is able to carry out this atonement process but do check first that the course you attend will also show you how to give Reiki to cats, as most won’t do and therefore any manual they give you won’t include it.

Usually on such courses you receive a Reiki Level 1 or Reiki First Degree Qualification

3) Learn Reiki yourself via a Quick and Simple Home Study Course (except there’s no studying to do)

Not everyone likes to attend a live course… all that travelling, taking too much time out even if you can find a Reiki trainer who works with cats.

Case Study

Melanie a Reiki Home Study from Virginia, USA has already helped this 'devil of a cat'!

Melanie, who completed Rob’s Reiki for Cat’s Home Study course says “During the atonement I felt my hands getting warmer and my feet feeling tingly or like falling asleep.

An hour after I went to my friend’s house and thought I would interact with her devil of a cat she has. He is not a nice one. He had attacked me a few months ago scratching at my legs while hissing and giving me a growl. Anyway I proceeded into the same room as he and walked in after my friend. (Please keep in mind this cat actually bites and scratches his owner and she has had him since he was 6 months old). He was resting on his perch.

He yawned several times then growled once or twice. I have never been afraid of animals and not of him. My friend told me to give him a treat and see what he does. I retrieved several pieces from the bag and laid them by his food bowl as instructed by his owner as this is what she does as well.

As he jumps down and comes toward me he looks into my eyes and I softly tell him you're ok and I won't hurt you. He comes over to me and allows me to rub his head and back, something he has never allowed me to do before ever. It gets better...he also jumps up to my face and smells me and then let's me feed him a treat. His owner said she has never been able to do this herself without being bitten. I believe he knew something was different about me this time than from the last when he tried to bite me.”
