Reiki for Humans, Horses & Animals
What is Reiki & What can it do for Me &\or My Animals & Equines?
Reiki …. Calms the Mind, Empowers the Soul and Fills the Heart with Compassion’
James Deacon
The word Reiki literally translated means “Universal Life Energy” and is pronounced ‘Ray Key’. Reiki enables healing in People, Animals & Equines of all ages.
Universal…
Reiki is a natural, holistic healing system that treats the whole being. This applies to humans, animals, plants, trees, places, situations – anything that has life. Life happens constantly, it is who we are, what we are, what we do, where we are, it is everything that makes us unique and individual.
Life…
Life surrounds us and we move through a wide spectrum of experiences at various points in our lives.
We can experience ‘going with the flow’ or finding ourselves ‘swimming against the flow’. At these times life can feel like a struggle which can lead to stress, illness and feelings of general un-wellness. Reiki is non-invasive and creates healing and balance within us facilitating addressing problems, issues or blocks on all physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels
Energy…
Is the life force for anything that is living & is consistently and constantly all around us. By clearing blocked energy caused by stress, physical or emotional pain, we can re-balance to facilitate and promote relaxation and re-establish well-being.
Over the years therapies such as Reiki, Acupuncture, Homeopathy and Flower Essence Therapy have emerged as part the energy healing field that has been rediscovered from the wisdom and knowledge of ancient cultures. Used in modern times Reiki compliments both conventional and alternative therapies and can enhance their actions and lessen their side-effects.

Equine Guided Reiki & Meditation with horses
Equine Guided Reiki & Meditation with horses is practised in natural surroundings in the presence of one or more of our rescue horses. The connection during these sessions can unlock and help us understand what we need to handle the trials and tribulations of life, eg personal growth, empathy well-being, patience, peace, self-compassion, forgiveness, leadership, perseverance, and much more.
Horses are natural ‘In the moment’ beings. Unlike us, their thinking isn’t based in the past or present, just the here and now. As flight animals, their survival depends upon reading both their environment and the integrity and congruity of those around them and they give a unique ‘mirror’ to our own emotional and cognitive states.
Reiki is a Non-invasive, Complimentary, Holistic Therapy for all and can be helpful for emotional issues, trauma, physical illnesses & pain relief. Benefits include relaxation, re-balancing, wellbeing, healing & recovery.
Meditating allows us to observe what is going on in our own minds and helps us to learn to control our thoughts enabling us to feel calm, lower our heart rates and blood pressure giving us a general sense of calm, peace and well-being.
The sessions are either one-to-one, or small groups (maximum 6 people) and include the Reiki/Meditation and also discussion afterwards.
1 hour Session – 1 person £30; 2+ people £15 pp
Distance Reiki
How does Distance Reiki Work?
- Healing can be sent to anyone, anywhere at anytime.
- The Healing works according to an ancient principle called the ‘Hermetic Law of Similarity’ which describes how as we are all connected, made of energy and therefore part of a larger whole.
- We can invoke this law during a Distance session allowing the practitioner (me) to link into the energy field of the recipient (you) across time and space and
- The Healing is strengthened by invoking ancient symbols learnt though training
How is Distance Reiki Used?:
- To perform Reiki Healing on someone who is not physically present.
- To help with everything a Physical Session can – for example, clear blockages to help with: Stress, Anxiety, Physical Pain, Bereavement issues etc etc.
- To support, re-balance and be helpful for our wellbeing, connection to each other, the world around us and in our own spiritual development. – In todays Coronavirus society, Distance Reiki is a great way to look after your health and wellbeing and also the opportunity to discuss your session afterwards to help plan your way forward – whatever that is for us individually.
What to Expect in a Distance Reiki Session
- We will arrange a mutually convenient date & time and I will message you on the day – usually about 10 mins prior to starting the session.
- You will need access to somewhere quiet where you won’t be disturbed – this could be in your own home or garden (weather permitting) – wherever you feel comfortable.
- You can use a blanket if you like or burn your favourite oils – whatever helps you feel relaxed.
- You may feel tingling, increased feelings of relaxation and happiness and wellbeing during the session.
- I will message you on completion of the session – we can then speak on the phone or Face Time to discuss the session if you would like.
- As with face to face sessions, 3 Distance Sessions are usually beneficial
