Reiki
This is my Severe Macaw receiving a Reiki treatment.  As soon as he
feels the energy from my  hand, his feathers ruffle and he drifts into
his own private La-La Land.

A real talker, he made me so proud when  about a year after I brought
him home, he asked me, "Want Reiki?"

You can watch him say "Want Reiki" on you tube!
     What is Reiki?

    1.  Healing Energy. Reiki is simply Universal Life Energy that we as practitioners channel for healing body, mind, and spirit.
    2.  Soothing Energy.  It works on the body, mind, and spirit, producing calming effects.
    3.  Cleansing Energy.  It raises our vibration as it clears our energy field of debris and blockages that interfere with our growth.

    Who Performs Reiki?

    All healing comes from the same Divine source.  Reiki is one method with ancient Tibetan and Japanese roots whereby energy is   transferred through  from a
    Reiki Master to a student/initiate.  It can be hands on or auric (just above the body in the auric   field).  Anyone who has been attuned by a certified Reiki Master
    can practice Reiki.Three levels are taught in the traditional Usui Method of Natural Healing (the type of Reiki I perform and teach).  First Degree focuses on the  
    physical attunement and physical healing and purpose/history of the art.  Second Degree expands the Reiki energy, teaching sacred symbols   to   use for
    distance and emotional/psychologtical healing.  Third degree, the Reiki Master level, enables practitioners  to teach and initiate  others.  It  raises one's vibration
    further to promote healing of the self and others

    WHO RECEIVES REIKI?

        Reiki works on all living things (and even on inanimate objects, too).  Of course, people were the  initial Reiki clients,   but
      the energy works wonders on all living things.  Plants and animals enjoy tremendous benefits from Reiki, and in my
      experience, even more than people since they are neither skeptical of nor resistant to natural healing methods.  When I
      received my Reiki I training back in 1989, I didn't realize how important it was until I came home that night to see my terminally
      ill standard poodle in distress from  auto-immune intestinal diseased.  I  gave him Reiki energy, and within moments, the violent
      noises in his belly subsided, and he fell into a calm sleep.  I knew then what would be my primary purpose as a Reiki
      practitioner and completed the next two levels of training within a couple of years.  I have never been sorry.  I have had quite a
      few terminally ill canine  clients; it is truly a gift for them as it eases the effects of stressful chemotherapy
      and aggressive steroidal therapy.  It also eases the transition from this life to the next, for animals and people as well.
      Many hospice patients benefit from Reiki in this regard.


    How is it ADMINISTERED?

    People receive Reiki treatments on a massage table.  The recipient lies on the table while the practitioner administers reiki
    at chakra points or over the entire body and on areas that require particular attention.  We always start at the head (crown) as energy flows Often the client will
    drift off in meditation or sleep while soft music plays in the background.
    A full hour Reiki session will cover both front and back of the body and leave the client to silently process for about ten minutes after the energy  ha s been
    absorbed.  Many people feel deeply relaxed after a session.  Another way to experience Reiki, though not   quite as   deeply as during a private session, is at a
    Reiki circle.  Participants sit in a chair in a circle while the Reiki Master and  perhaps other practitioners    walk around the room and administer Reiki at the
    crown, shoulders, and upper body.  Usually   meditative music, perhaps a guided meditation, and  low lighting create a peaceful environment.  Reiki Circles are
    usually free although the laws of exchange do apply, so most centers pass a basket          around  for a voluntary donation.

    Can Anyone Learn?

    YES!!!!  Reiki requires no prior experience or belief system. It is not confined to an elite few but meant for planetary healing and is   therefore  accessible to
    everyone with an interest.  Anyone, regardless of spiritual background, training, religious conviction, or   intuitive ability can be attuned  and practice Reiki.
