Help your new adopted pet with Animal Reiki

There are a lot of considerations to explore when you want to adopt an animal from a rescue/shelter environment.  Before you take that leap it’s important to remember the animal needs time to adjust, it doesn’t happen overnight.  There is guidance out there to the rule of 3…

3 DAYS - time to de-stress

During these 3 days your animal will have feelings of overwhelm, being scared and unsure of what is going on.  They won’t be showing their true selves.  They may be so nervous they won’t want to eat or drink.  They may try to hide under furniture and shut down.  They may even test their new environment.

3 WEEKS - its all about routine

During this period, your animal will start to settle in.  They will feel more themselves and get comfortable in the routine you have set with them.  They will start to show their true colours, whether through behaviour issues or you catching glimpses of their personality as they get used to their new home.  They will even start to think, is this my forever home.

3 MONTHS - this is my home

Your animal will feel relaxed and complete in the knowing this is their home.  Trust and a true deep connection will form.  Your animal will have a sense of security and settlement. 

Animals are all individuals, with their own personalities and their own back stories.  They can hold on to trauma and/or display anxieties and especially moving to a new home, their anxiety level will be at an all time high.  To help ease their transition into a new home, Animal reiki is a gentle and powerful practice that can help.  

The animal chooses to connect to the sharing of energy with the practitioner to help heal any issues they are experiencing.  This, in turn, helps them adjust in their new environment.  After receiving reiki, your animal may have subtle changes over the next few days or sometimes the animal’s behaviour can change more immediate.  There is no one size fits all, one session may work wonders and others need more time with a number of sessions.  A flexible approach to treatments is needed to suit each individual. 

Animal Reiki can help your animal release anxiety, stress and reassures them of the trust and love you and your home provide.  If you give your new fur baby a chance, they will shine.
