"About 2 years ago Erin-Blythe came to visit with me and my aging
cat.  I knew that he was uncomfortable and struggled with how
best to care for him.  He sat with Erin-Blythe while she gently
touched him and communicated not only with words but with a deep
understanding of his energy and pain.  He seemed to relax under
her hand
as only a cat can and looked deeply into her eyes as she
spoke to him.  Erin-Blythe then seemed to know where to put her
hands to ease his pain. After she left, he slept more peacefully
than he had for a long time."

Reiki can be used with animals in a way that is comfortable  
for them so that they are in control of the session.
It  will work toward easing the source of the discomfort or pain
and can assist when the time comes
for them to journey across the Rainbow Bridge.
To serve your animal companion's highest good
is Erin-Blythe's sole reason for treating him or her.  
In their book Animal Reiki (c. 2006) authors Elizabeth Fulton
and Kathleen Prasad note:
"With healthy animals, Reiki can help maintain health on all levels. Reiki
can heal illness and injury in animals as well as problems on emotional
and spiritual levels.  It is a powerful tool for emotional healing following
trauma, abuse, neglect, fear and trust issues, reaching deeply
into even the most damaged spirits.
Reiki can accelerate healing after surgery or illness. It complements both
conventional and alternative therapies and can enhance their actions and
lessen their side-effects."
