Frequently Asked Questions

Distance Reiki for animals is an effective form of energy healing that transcends physical boundaries. This practice allows Reiki practitioners to channel healing energy to animals, no matter where they are located, promoting relaxation and well-being without the need for physical presence.

1. Energy Connection:
   Reiki is based on the principle that energy can be transmitted over any distance. Practitioners tap into the universal life force energy and connect with the animal through focused intention. This connection is established using the animal's name and specific imagery, creating a bridge between the practitioner and the pet.
2. Relaxation and Healing:
   Once the connection is made, the practitioner sends healing energy to the animal. This energy promotes deep relaxation, helping to alleviate stress, anxiety, and pain. Animals often respond intuitively to this energy and may exhibit signs of calmness, such as settling down or breathing deeply.
3. Customizable Sessions:
   Distance Reiki sessions can be tailored to meet the specific needs of each animal. Practitioners may gather information about the animal’s condition, preferences, and any areas of concern from the owner, allowing for a personalized healing experience.
4. Flexibility in Timing:
   One of the advantages of Distance Reiki is flexibility. Sessions can be scheduled at a time that is convenient for both the practitioner and the pet owner. Some animals may benefit from receiving Reiki while they are resting or during their routine, further enhancing the effectiveness of the session.
5. Follow-Up and Support:
   After a session, practitioner will provide feedback and suggestions based on their observations during the energy work. This allows pet owners to understand their animal’s responses and make any necessary adjustments to support their pet’s well-being.

 Animal Reiki sessions are typically limited to 15 minutes to accommodate the sensitive nature of animals. Many pets can become overwhelmed or restless during longer sessions, making it important to provide short, focused treatments that respect their comfort levels. This brief duration allows the animal to receive the healing energy without becoming stressed, ensuring a positive and beneficial experience. Additionally, shorter sessions can be more effective, as animals often respond quickly to Reiki energy. 

 Distance Reiki Session: No, you do not need to be present during the session. Animals are not required to be formally scheduled, as they have the freedom to move, lie down, or even play during the session. The Reiki healing remains effective regardless of their position or activity. 

In-Person Reiki Session: No, you do not need to be in the same room; however, you must be present to grant access to the home. It’s important that the environment is free from distractions. The pet parent is welcome to join the healing space, but we ask that they remain quiet and refrain from interrupting or speaking until the session is finished. In certain cases, the presence of a pet parent or animal guardian may be requested, especially when working with wild animals. 

Yes, your animal Reiki session is confidential unless you, as the pet parent or guardian, decide to allow ihealanimals.com to share a testimonial on social media or the website. 

At ihealanimals.com, we prioritize respect, privacy, and the sacredness of the Reiki exchange, adhering to high standards of integrity. This commitment fosters pure intentions within this sacred practice and nurtures honor, respect, and compassion for everyone involved. 

If an animal chooses not to want to partake in a session after the practitioner has asked for consent ihealanimals.com will conclude the session and provide a refund to the pet parent or discuss another day and time to reschedule. It is unlikely a pet will decline, but in the event this happens rest assured your money will not be lost. Additionally, ihealanimals.com may request a 5minute pre-consult with the animal to see if they are receptive prior to pet parent purchasing a session. Please review our code of ethics.

 
Most pets tend to feel very relaxed during or after a session and may even fall asleep. Reiki is always safe and never causes harm or pain. It's normal for pets to want to rest after a session, sometimes for a day, depending on the individual experience. Conversely, some pets may feel energized following a session.
