Reiki can be a really beautiful way to relax an animal to allow tension to be released and allow communication and understanding to eventually take place. Often, it is anxiety that is blocking the subtlety of communication between owner and pet. The process can be given hands on or hands off.
I decided to train with Edwina Grey and Penelope Meredith in horse Craniosacral, (I am not a trained Craniosacral therapist). It helped me to understand my own horse and how her traumas shaped her behaviour, which in part reflected my behaviour in my reactions to her. As in part a result of this, and the growing understanding that has developed between Lizzie (my mare) and myself we have a really beautiful relationship for which I am extremely grateful.
Craniosacral has been useful in that it is more subtle than Reiki and is useful in particularly sensitive animals such as my own mare Lizzie.
