Reiki is an alternative form of healing/medicine using energy administered through a Reiki practitioner's hands. If broken down Rei translates to Universal (esoterically) and Ki means life energy that- any one living plant, animal or tree exudes.
Reiki was discovered in Japan by Dr. Miako Usui, in the early 1900's. Dr. Usui passed Reiki on to 3 people who became Reiki masters themselves who were then able to continue passing Reiki along. Reiki is taught in a series of attunements. There are three levels of Reiki attunements; Reiki Level I, Reiki Level 2 and Reiki Master. Only Reiki Masters have the ability to pass Reiki along to others. Reiki Level 1 is the most basic form of Reiki where Reiki Levels 2 and Reiki Masters have greater intensity in the energy they can give and focus more with Reiki symbols to better direct the energy to where it is needed.
In the beginning, Reiki was only used on human beings but more recently practitioners have been using it on animals with similar success. Reiki can be used to treat or promote healing of any ailment ranging from cancer to pain or other diseases more specific to body systems. There is no limit to the amount of Reiki any one animal or human being can receive. Reiki is a great addition to any treatment plan because there are no possibilities for drug interactions and no level of toxicity.
Things your pet may feel during a Reiki treatment
As with humans, there is a range of feelings emotionally and physically that an animal may experience while receiving a Reiki treatment. It is in my opinion that animals feel healing energies like Reiki a bit stronger than humans do because there is no element of disbelief or preconceived notions of how a Reiki treatment will feel. Most animals enjoy touch wether or not you are giving them Reiki. Reiki is just an added bonus to them.
Animals may become a bit confused at first if they have never had a chance to feel Reiki before but will soon calm down after they realize that they are not going to be hurt. Generally, after a few minutes of Reiki an animal will feel intense relaxation and then usually fall asleep. Reiki can be felt physically in many ways. Some of these ways include tingling sensations, extreme but pleasurable heat, vibrations and full body calming sensations.

Diffusers:
There are a LOT of different diffusers
This is one of most convenient . It is a plug - in to a USB port. It can be taken everywhere and easily inserted into a port for essential oil diffusion. The opening in the top is where oils are placed for diffusion. Blends can be diffused but because of the mix of oils sometimes the ability to be dispersed is more difficult. It is better to oils with consistency that is more thin and flowing. If a thicker oil is desired then thin it out with a thinner consistency oil.
This is one of the first diffusors Marila Veterinary Clinic used. It diffuses well in a smaller area such as an exam room or small bedroom. It has a glass bulb however and this can break especially at the base. Replacement bulbs are available. The small metal hole that oils are diffused out of can get clogged especially with thicker oils. Weekly maintenance is required. The diffusor is louder than others. The cord is shorter so the diffuser must be placed fairly close to the outlet. It is recommended to not use with children or pets in case the bulb breaks. If the diffuser can be kept out of the way then there is no problem. It is a good first diffusor.
This is the second diffuser Marila Veterinary Clinic used. It provided better coverage in the exam room. It still needed maintenance cleaning but not as frequently. It was the diffusor we sold to those interested in purchasing a first diffusor.
The Aria Diffuser is the third one Marila Veterinary Clinic used and still does. It is behind the front desk since it also has a glass dome. The glass dome is thicker and breakage has not been a problem. The maintenance is every other week. We have had the Aria for 4 years and it still is diffusing well. IT PLAYS MUSIC AND IT HAS COLORED LED LIGHTS. It is the preferred diffusor for the clinic. It disperses essential oils well and people have commented on how nice it looks. The other diffusor pictured allows someone to attach a bottle of oil to the diffuser stem and the mist comes out the spigot at the top. We have no experience with this diffuser however.
