Step 1: Prepare Yourself (2–3 Minutes)
- Sit comfortably.
- Place hands on your heart.
- Take 3 slow breaths.
- Say silently:“I offer Reiki for the highest good of (dog’s name).”
Let your nervous system soften first.
Remember: calm healer → calm field.
🐶 Step 2: Connect to the Dog
You can use:
• A photo
• The dog’s name
• A clear mental image
• Or simply intention
Visualize them resting peacefully.
Imagine them surrounded by soft golden or lavender light.
If it’s your dog, you’ll likely feel connection immediately. If it’s someone else’s, state:
“With permission from (owner’s name) and for the highest good.”
✨ Step 3: Hand Position for Distance Reiki
Option A:
Hold your hands facing each other as if the dog is resting between them.
Option B:
Place the photo between your palms.
Option C:
Send Reiki through your heart and gently extend your hands outward.
You may feel:
• Warmth
• Pulsing
• Tingling
• Emotional softness
• Nothing at all (still working)
🌿 Step 4: Focus Areas (Energetically)
Move your intention slowly:
1. Head & Nervous System – Calm anxiety
2. Heart & Lungs – Breath + vitality
3. Abdomen – Digestion, immune system
4. Area of illness – Visualize soothing light
Imagine the cells relaxing.
Imagine inflammation cooling.
Imagine the body remembering balance.
Keep it simple — don’t force
⏳ Step 5: Timing
• 10–20 minutes is perfect.
• Once or twice daily during illness.
• Stop when you feel complete or energy naturally settles.
Dogs often:
• Fall asleep
• Sigh
• Stretch afterward
• Seem calmer within hours
🌙 Step 6: Close the Session
Say:
“Reiki continues gently as needed. Thank you.”
Visualize sealing them in protective light.
Then shake out your hands or wash them — clear your field.
