Stimulating the muscles and tissues of the body increases circulation and this improved blood flow brings healing. Increased circulation allows more oxygen to reach the tissues and if there are any wounds, inside or outside of the body, this oxygen will promote faster, more comfortable healing. Massage has also been shown to improve range of motion and lower the heart rate. This also relieves muscle spasms and reduces toxic compounds like lactic acid, which cause pain and discomfort.
REIKI (pronounced Ray-key) is a Japanese word meaning “Universal Energy,” the vital, creative force that flows through everything. Reiki is the use of energy to heal and can help remove blockages, balance energy and help identify physical pain. Reiki healing stimulates the energy to flow properly, while also cleansing the energy within and around the body to speed up the healing process. Performed remotely (distant healing), or in-person through touch, Reiki practitioners pass a higher frequency energy to their animal patients to assist them in healing themselves. Reiki is non-invasive and gentle, yet can help heal and energize an animal’s body on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. Read extra details on Reiki for pets.
When I invite my dogs to join in my morning Reiki sessions, they immediately come romping into the room. After lighting incense and flipping on the music, I lay back on the couch as my dogs take their normal positions.
Once the dog has absorbed all of the energy it feels it needs, it will walk away. Often, in my experience, before walking away, the dog will give me a sign of affection as a way to say, “Thank you”. This has usually taken the form of a ‘nose nuzzle’, ‘love lick’ or ‘love nibble’. Of course, I miss out on all the wonderful dog nuzzles, licks of affection and nibbles if I’m providing the Reiki session remotely. When I perform an in-person Reiki session, I will ask the client to have their dog in their most relaxing or favorite room. I want to make sure their dog is comfortable, relaxed and familiar with their surroundings. They don’t need to hold their dog in place or force them to stay on a bed or table. The Reiki energy will flow throughout their dog no matter where they are in the room. Often, they will lie beside me and allow me to gently move or place my hands over various parts of their body.
Canine Massage Puts More “Pep” in Charlie’s Step: You’d never know that Charlie, an athletic spaniel/basset mix, is 12 years old. However, his owner noticed subtle signs of aging and wanted to help improve his muscle tone and make him feel good. “Charlie is a high energy, athletic dog, who does everything at 150 percent. Over the course of his canine massage treatment, I noticed him becoming more and more relaxed and calm, even falling asleep as Gillian worked her magic. Dog massage has also helped Charlie’s athleticism. At twelve years old, he still loves to run and fetch. I believe that these animal massage treatments have helped improve his muscle tone. There’s a lot more “pep in his step,” and he is able to catch the ball on a bounce more often. He just seems happier and I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome.” Source: https://fourpawsholistictherapy.com/.
