Reiki Healing
Life Force Energy
Reiki is an energy healing technique in which a Reiki practitioner uses gentle hand movements with the intention to guide the flow of healthy energy (what's known in Reiki as life force energy) through the body to reduce stress and promote healing.
Reiki is gentle and noninvasive, and yet can powerfully address any health issue a horse may face as well as delves deep into physical and emotional problems caused by bad experiences or mistreatment.
Regardless of age or state of health, and beneficial changes can take place over a fairly short space of time. Below are some of the problems or areas that Reiki has been found to help with according to research studies.

The effects of Reiki build up cumulatively, so it is advised to have an initial course of treatments to help produce long-term beneficial changes, emotionally and physically. It is generally recommended to have a course of between 4-6 treatments, at weekly intervals. After this, future treatments can be discussed.
