Using Reiki on Animals, Plants and Other Items

Reiki is a form of universal energy and as such is ideal for healing all forms of life. When healing animals and plants, you will notice that the energy flows into them in much the same way it does people. It also tends to relax animals just as it does humans.

Protection With Reiki

The power symbol and the mental/emotional symbol have important protective abilities. In many versions of the first degree attunement process, the power symbol is the only Reiki symbol planted in the hands. It's placed there in part because of the extensive protection it provides. It protects the healer from the client's personal energy, the client from the healer's personal energy, and the energy current from both the healer and client's personal energy.

Empowering Goals with Reiki

At the second degree level, three different primary subcurrents of energy are available to the Reiki practitioner which can greatly assist with empowerment and manifestation if they are understood within that context.

First, there is the current represented by the power symbol. It might be more appropriate to call this the empowerment symbol because of the special properties of the energy it represents. This symbol may be used to empower any goal or desired manifestation. It is a key to a very powerful form of energy and may be used for nearly anything. This is the energy in the Usui System of Natural Healing which provides the push to make things manifest.
