Horses decide whether they want you to put your hands on them when giving Reiki. Often my new equine clients are unsure of the energy and don’t want to come too close as they sense the different energy and this can take some getting used to. As Reiki flows to where it is intended and most needed, it means that I can send the Reiki energy to the horse without going anywhere near it and the horse will still benefit from the healing energy. (I can do this for the owner / rider too!)
What can you use distant Equine Reiki for?
As soon as you start practising Reiki you can give distant Reiki healing to your own or others’ horses (with permissions of course).
Distant Equine Reiki can be used for many things including:
- Any Physical healing
- Difficult to reach areas
- Nervous horses
- Horses new to Reiki
- Horses that are facing their final days
How to give a distant Equine Reiki treatment
1. Close your eyes and take a few long deep breaths
2. Focus your attention on your Tanden, attune to the healing energy and merge with the flow becoming one with the energy
3. Intend that this Reiki healing is to be sent to (name of the horse / owner / rider)
4. Visualise the horse standing in front of you (or look at the horse if you are physically with it)
5. Visualise the energy flowing into the horse generally or to the place where the energy is needed most
6. Continue to send the Reiki for as long as required or until the energy dissipates
7. When you have finished the treatment, visualise the horse disappearing (or look at the horse) take a couple of deep breaths, disconnect from the Reiki energy and open your eyes
A distant healing can be done for 10 minutes or longer if required.
Other ways to give distant healing
Distant healing can be used in many ways and one of the best ways I have found to send distant healing is to have a small notebook dedicated to your distant healing requests. In the notebook you will write the names of the horses you wish to send healing to. What you will then do is tune into the Reiki energy and put your hands on the notebook and start to send energy to everything contained within it. Intend that your energy is being sent to all of the horses within the book for the greatest good of all concerned.
You will find that 10 minutes or so will be adequate but you will know when to stop and bring yourself back to the room.
I often go through my notebook and tear out any pages of horses that no longer need healing and then add in new horses that require the Reiki energy. It is very interesting to review what happened to the horses after you sent the Reiki energy to them.
