Reiki energy healing and Theta healing are
slowly gaining popularity amongst people
around the world. After the success of this
method on humans for over a decade, Reiki
healing is now used to heal animals as well,
to rid them of illness, pain and psychological
disorders.
Reiki is energy, ultimately. It is a life force
energy and an imbalance in this energy can make
one unwell. Therapists say that disturbances or
blockages in energy cause illness and is referred
to as ‘negative energy’. It is believed that
animals absorb this energy from their owners
most of the time, in an effort to heal their owner
of their mental or physical illness. However,
these animals are unable to heal themselves. In
such a case, a professional therapist can help by
telepathically communicating with an animal.

professionally, for both humans and animals.
