Reiki The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body; emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and well being. Many have reported miraculous results.
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
An amazingly simple technique to learn, the ability to use Reiki is not taught in the usual sense, but is transferred to the student during a Reiki class. This ability is passed on during an "attunement" given by a Reiki master and allows the student to tap into an unlimited supply of "life force energy" to improve one's health and enhance the quality of life.
Its use is not dependent on one's intellectual capacity or spiritual development and therefore is available to everyone. It has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds.
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki comes from a higher belief, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
Animals have no dogma or beliefs associated with them other than the beliefs of their owners; therefore, reiki can be offered and accepted or refused totally naturally and at the animal’s own consent rather than with the owners request. A horse/pony will accept or reject the offer of reiki. Their sense whether it is sixth or extra sensory, is extraordinary to us and they are far more able to know what they want and need than we are about them.
In other words, if we offer Reiki as a therapy to a horse or pony, they can accept the offer or reject it. Rejection does not mean that they are beyond help and with reiki we can just offer it to the situation surrounding their problem or trauma and with many cases this has proven to be just as effective.
The Equine nation tends to regard Reiki along the same pleasure lines as food, hay and grooming…. A must! So it is quite unusual to find a rejection from a horse/pony. A refusal is usually to do with trust and harmony. If this has been lacking in the history of the animal then they wont trust us to do anything for them other than abuse and insult. Reiki will then be given to the situation surrounding and causing the anguish rather than directly to the animal itself. From this the situation can be calmed and toned down to a placid state whereby a therapist can be introduced and balance can be restored to the horse karma and spirit. This is a common case with ponies that have been brought out from the forests in the drives in the UK (i.e. New forest and Dartmoor).
