Reiki for cats ~ If you are looking for a gentle and noninvasive technique for supporting feline wellness, look no further than Reiki. Reiki can create relaxation and peace in even the most stressed-out cases-thus it is ideal for cats living in loving homes, as well as shelter and rescued cats. Reiki can help to speed healing after surgery or illness, reduce side-effects of medicine and other treatments, relieve pain, improve behavior problems, heal anxiety-related problems and, when physical healing isn't possible, ease the transition to death.
The system of Reiki is Japanese in origin. "Rei" means "spirit," and "Ki" means "energy," so the word "Reiki" literally translates to "spiritual energy." Reiki is also a spiritual practice, albeit one without dogma and beliefs, so it is compatible with any religious philosophy. Your intention and commitment to the "doing" of Reiki (meditation and opening to the flow of energy) is important to your own development and healing, as well as your ability to connect with animals successfully. On a personal level, practicing Reiki can deepen your intuition and cause tremendous internal healing on all levels.
Since the way and flow of Reiki is toward perfect energetic balance, it always finds the origin of the problem (since all health problems are "dis-ease" or imbalance) and supports energetic harmony (rebalancing and clearing the energy "flow"). Its harmonic nature also makes Reiki completely safe and ideal for use with other modalities, both conventional and holistic.
Cats are especially sensitive to Reiki energy and will benefit greatly from the approach of treating from a distance, meditatively and respectfully "offering" rather than physically and actively "giving" Reiki with physical contact (as is often done in human Reiki treatments). Incorporating this philosophy with all cats, even those comfortable and familiar with humans, results in a greater openness from the animals and thus greater successes in their treatments.
