Reiki: A Soothing Energy to Ease Dogs' Fears of Fireworks

Fireworks, while a source of joy and celebration for many, can be an anxiety-inducing experience for our furry-babies. Dogs, in particular, are known to be highly sensitive to loud noises and sudden bursts of light, which are characteristic of fireworks displays. Fortunately, there are various techniques available to help calm and comfort our beloved pets during these stressful times. One such method gaining popularity is Reiki, a gentle and non-invasive practice that utilizes universal life force energy to promote relaxation, balance, and well-being. In this blog, we will explore how Reiki can be utilized to ease dogs' fears of fireworks, providing them with a sense of calm and tranquility.

Understanding Dogs' Fear of Fireworks:

Before delving into the role of Reiki in calming dogs during fireworks, it's crucial to understand the nature of their fear. Dogs possess acute hearing and can perceive fireworks as a threat due to their loud noise, unpredictable flashes, and vibrations. They often exhibit signs of distress such as trembling, panting, pacing, hiding, or attempting to escape. First and foremost, it's essential to create a safe and secure environment while addressing their emotional state.

My fur-babies get a reiki treatment before fireworks begin in the evening. They love it. All I have to do is say, “Would you like some Reiki?” And they come running and lie down in front of me. If I have a reiki treatment table up, they LOVE jumping up and relaxing while I flood thier little bodies with healing and calming energy. 

The Essence of Reiki:

Reiki, originating from Japan, is a holistic healing modality that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and emotional well-being. It is based on the concept that universal life force energy flows through all living beings and can be channeled to promote healing. Reiki practitioners act as conduits for this healing energy, allowing it to flow into the recipient's body, helping to restore balance on physical, mental, and emotional levels.

Reiki for Dogs:

Dogs are highly receptive to energy, making them ideal candidates for Reiki therapy. The soothing, non-invasive nature of Reiki can help dogs feel at ease, reducing their anxiety and promoting a sense of inner peace. As I said before, my dogs love the feeling of reiki. Sometimes they fall asleep while I am treating them. I know reiki is working because they yawn and can’t stop kissing my hands. I have to gently guide their heads down so they can relax. So cute. 

  

Incorporating Reiki During Fireworks:

To incorporate Reiki into your dog's fireworks experience, consider the following steps:

1. Preparation: Create a safe and comfortable environment for your dog. Prepare a quiet space where they can retreat, preferably away from windows and loud noises. Ensure they have access to their favorite toys, bedding, and water. I use a noise machine to help block out noise or sometimes I will play calming music. 

2. Seek a Reiki Practitioner: Look for a qualified and experienced Reiki practitioner who specializes in working with animals. They will be able to provide tailored sessions to address your dog's specific needs. Feel free to reach out to me if you don’t already have a reiki practitioner. 

3. Schedule Sessions in Advance: Book Reiki sessions for your dog before the fireworks event. The timing can vary depending on your dog's sensitivity and needs. By scheduling sessions in advance, you can help your dog build resilience and a sense of calmness leading up to the fireworks.

Conclusion:

As pet owners, it's our responsibility to ensure the well-being of our furry babies, especially during challenging times such as fireworks displays. Reiki offers a gentle and holistic approach to easing dogs' fears, providing them with a sense of peace and tranquility. By incorporating Reiki into your dog's routine, you can help them navigate the fireworks season with reduced anxiety and increased emotional well-being.

If your fur baby needs extra care this holiday season, please do not hesitate to contact us. Heidi at Blossom Bioenergetics is a certified Reiki practitioner specializing in animal healing and is passionate about helping pets find balance and serenity during stressful times. Together, let's create a safe and soothing environment for our four-legged companions, ensuring they can enjoy the celebrations alongside us.

Remember, every dog is unique, so it's important to observe their individual responses and provide the necessary support accordingly. With Reiki and a little extra care, you can help your beloved dog feel more secure and comfortable during fireworks, fostering a stronger bond and ensuring their well-being throughout the holiday season.

Reiki Energy Healing From a Distance

Reiki, an ancient energetic healing therapy based on the idea that a universal life force energy flows through all living things and connects us all. There are many traditions who use energetic healing modalities. Reiki is one of the more known traditions. Reiki practitioners use their hands to channel this energy to promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. If you're reading this for the first time, your initial thoughts are probably similar to most people who first hear about Reiki energy healing.

"The Look"

I often get “the look” from people who are skeptical of energetic healing therapies like Reiki. You know the look. It might be on your face right now.

Raised eyebrow, squinty eyes, maybe eyes rolled back in the head. But don't stop reading! According to an article on Reiki and skepticism, the author suggests that Reiki is an experiential healing art, meaning that people will only believe in it if they experience it themselves. Additionally, a lack of understanding of Reiki and how it works could contribute to skepticism.

I understand. I was skeptical too before I learned more and tried Reiki myself.

I have found that most energy healing skeptics are skeptical because they don’t understand it and have not heard of the vast scientific evidence supporting its effectiveness. In fact, more than 5,000 scientific research studies have been published demonstrating the effectiveness of energy healing and have found that it does work. Studies have found that energy healing helps relieve pain, it eases anxiety and depression, speeds recovery after surgery, clears foggy brain, and helps to heal from countless diseases and illnesses as well as emotional and spiritual issues.

We Need a PR Machine!

So why don’t more people use energetic healing? I have a theory. People don’t know about it, don’t understand it, have heard false information about it, and/or don’t see the value of this healing modality for themselves. I have often said that Energetic Healers need a good PR team to get the word out and inform the public of the benefits of bioenergetic healing, such as Reiki.

How Does Distance Reiki Work?

While Reiki is traditionally a hands-on practice done in a treatment facility, distance Reiki is becoming increasingly popular. But how does it work, and is it legit?

Distance Reiki, also known as remote Reiki, is an effective form of energy healing where a practitioner sends energy to a recipient who is not physically present. Distance Reiki can be sent to anyone, any where in the world, and can be received in the comfort of your own home.

When I work with people at a distance, I connect to them energetically, using intention and visualization to send Reiki energy. I have my patients find a place in their home that is relaxing and free from distraction. Then the recipient sits or lies down and listens to a healing meditation and music while I give the Reiki energetic therapy. Most people fall asleep because Reiki is so relaxing and calming. After the session is complete I make a call back to the recipient to discuss the outcome of the session.

Is Distance Reiki Legit?

Despite the lack of being together in a treatment room, distance Reiki has been shown to be just as effective as hands-on Reiki. In fact, I believe that distance Reiki can be even more powerful, as it allows the recipient to fully relax and receive the energy with fewer distractions.

Several scientific studies have shown the effectiveness of distance healing, including one study published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, which found that distance Reiki was effective in reducing pain and anxiety in cancer patients.

Want to try it?

Still skeptical? Why not try it and see for yourself? If you're interested in trying distance Reiki, Blossom Energetics is offering a complementary 15-minute session using the code "Try15". During your session, you will experience Reiki energy and see for yourself the power of distance healing.
