 REIKI FOR ANIMALSOur animals make us feel good - We can do the same for them with Reiki. IMPORTANT - Reiki is not intended to replace the advice or treatment of a vet and medical conditions cannot be diagnosed. In all cases it is important to seek professional veterinary advice and diagnosis in the first instance. This important legislation forms part of the 1966 Veterinary Surgery Act. Reiki is a complementary therapy and can be used alongside other therapies and medication. Reiki may then be used alongside veterinary care as a complementary therapy. 
Animals usually respond very positively to Reiki and may visibly relax or sleep
throughout. It seems to be very calming and balancing for their emotions. Each animal, like each human, is an individual and therefore benefit in different ways to therapies such as Reiki. It is often useful for emotional and spiritual matters, as well as for physical issues. We all know that physical problems are often related to or exaggerated by emotions and stress. People often feedback that their animal friends become very relaxed, calm and serene. Animals express their feelings through their actions and when receiving 'hands on' Reiki will often lean into the hands of the Practitioner or move themselves to place an area of their body under the Practitioner's hands which needs energy. They may also sigh, yawn, breathe deeply, break wind, have gurgly tummies. All these indicate relaxation and a release of tension. During Reiki animals often snooze and seem to 'melt' as they deeply relax. Reactions of animals and their person's observations indicate that it may be helpful for our animal friends who have :-  stress related conditions recently had an operation or injury allergies a depleted immune system terminal illness, often in terms of calming and helping with appetite emotional issues eg. bereavement, separation anxiety, moving home, past abuse/mistreatment, traumaBy calming stress and anxiety, this often has a positive impact on general health - just like with people - so Reiki is great to help maintain good health or as a preventative measure. 
As with humans, Reiki may help the animal's own natural ability to heal itself, on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. It is an energy therapy and helps to clear any energy blockages that may be affecting the flow of Ki (or Qi/energy).  With our animal friends, some enjoy 'hands-on' Reiki, whereas others are happier not to actually be touched and the Reiki can be sent from a distance. Testimonials give anecdotal evidence that Reiki from a distance can be extremely effective. The animal naturally draws whatever energy is needed.Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a combination of two Japanese words Rei and Ki, meaning Universal Life Energy. The universal energy flows through, not from, the practitioner. It is not a religion or belief system and can be learned by anyone and is a wonderful way of bonding with your animal friends. Hayley uses Reiki regularly with the foster donkeys she cares for. She also uses Reiki with various animals locally and regularly visits Cyden Dressage to work with their competition horses. 
TESTIMONIALS Over the time I have known Hayley, I have received a variety of therapies from her (full testimonial on testimonials page). I not only trust and recommend Hayley wholeheartedly for myself and others, but admire Hayley's approach, which is comforting and supportive, as she dedicates time aside to explain and discuss the techniques and therapies which helps you feel comfortable and safe immediately. Also being an animal behaviourist myself, I have seen Hayley develop an amazingly powerful intuition with animals and along with successfully helping their ailments, she has a natural calming energy animals are instantly attracted to and trust. - G Stephen, Grimsby Benjy has shown a definite improvement since receiving distant Reiki from you. From having a somewhat nervous and rather anxious disposition, which exacerbated his colitis, he has become much more relaxed and chilled out. Most importantly, this change in his character has had a very beneficial effect on his overall health. In summary, he seems to be a much happier and calmer little dog, rather than the hyperactive and stressed out animal that he was previously - J Burrell Benjy passed away mid-Feb 2011. He had been expected to be put to sleep early December 2010, but the Vet decided the time was not right as he continued to be alert and have a reasonable quality of life, despite being very poorly with kidney problems. He received Reiki daily which gave him strength to eat and helped him relax through his last months. It was so lovely to see my stressed pony enjoy some quiet time, close his eyes and relax, which is so important and so rare. - J Day and Woody the Pony Woody has had Distant Reiki several times to help him settle into his new home - he moved to Wales since his first 'hands on' therapy. We really believed Cassie was going to die between Christmas 2010 and New Year as she wasn't eating, drinking and wouldn't go out, let alone for a walk and she just laid on her side, but very very peaceful. After the distance Reiki we could not believe how she improved. She is now back to normal, eating, drinking, walking and 'barking'. Even though we know she is terminally ill, it is so lovely to have had her longer than expected. Thank you so much. Will keep you in touch. Kindest Regards . - G and J Sinton , Cumbria Incidentally, Cassie is still going strong a year later! She is sent Distant Reiki as and when needed.  Thank you Hayley for a wonderful Reiki experience. Tyler, a normal giddy pup, originally slept in a crate with a blanket over and the door closed in the kitchen.
She was messing the bed in the night and if I left the crate open so she could go on the pad she cried and scratched at the door of the kitchen. Hayley visited me and Tyler at work and they hit it off straight away. Tyler was jumping everywhere, but Hayley is a very calming influence and Tyler soon laid in bed for a snooze. We talked about how Tyler was anxious at night and Hayley took a beautiful picture of her to do the Reiki with each evening for a week or so. I must admit I was a little skeptical about the whole thing but very intrigued to see what would happen.
Hayley asked me to just see if she did anything different. To be honest I completely forgot the first night all about it so took no notice of change but the next day I realised Tyler hadn't been put to bed with her crate door closed and blanket over!
No mess anywhere, so the next night I did it again and took away the blanket, and progressively over a week of Reiki, I took away the crate and Tyler was in a big girls bed and dry through the night.
Hayley kept in touch and still does to just check on Tyler, a fantastic experience and I would recommend a little Reiki for everyone's pooch. Thank You - K Mitchell and Tyler 
Archie the rescued guinea pig is making steady progress 8 weeks after the vet said there was nothing more that could be done. He is learning to eat for himself again and getting stronger and livelier. I am sure that the Reiki helped him. Thank you for your help. - S Tate, Cavy Corner Sanctuary Cavy Corner work tirelessly for many rescued guinea pigs and we often help out by sending Reiki to poorly guineas when needed to help them recover. 
My dog Danny, a 10 year old German Shepherd, started with a severe weakness in his back legs 6 weeks ago. We took him to the vets, who put him on medication but explained that the prognosis was not good, He continued to decline to the point that I was prepared to take him to the vet to be put to sleep. I don't know what stopped me to be honest. I told Hayley about this and she suggested that she send some Reiki healing to him. I have to say that I am very sceptical about this sort of thing, but I felt that it couldn't hurt. 6 weeks later, he is much better - I don't know if it is the Reiki, but Hayley is still sending it and he is continuing to improve, and I am starting to reduce the medication. His legs are still very weak, but he seems to have accepted that there are some things that he can't do and is content with life, and is happier than he has ever been. I don't know how long Dan will be with us, I guess that the weakness will come again, but he (and us) have had a happy and content reprieve. Thanks Hayley - Mrs R Atkinson, Christchurch Sadly Danny passed away early 2011 aged 11 - but we are pleased he had a good quality of life to the end. 
I have a 4 year old Labrador who ruptured her ligament whilst on her daily walk over the xmas period, she had to go through the trauma of having a metal plate inserted into her hind leg, this caused her much discomfort and pain and her usual happy self was replaced with a depressed unhappy replica... Hayley sent Reiki to help her heal and to restore her happy go lucky personality, overnight I noticed a change in her which improved on a daily basis and I am delighted to say that Sasha has now fully recovered and is as lively as ever.... Thank you Hayley, without your treatment she would not have recovered so quickly and she's saving her favourite bone to give you and a big sloppy kiss! - Mrs T Disdel Mrs Hayley N Drakes MIFR MICHT
