Usui Reiki: First Degree practitioner courses
for horses and pets

reikihorsestudent.JPG

Reiki stimulates the body's healing mechanisms, helping to re-balance the system and maintain health.  Reiki is also fantastic for releasing physical tension and imbalances caused by emotional trauma or stresses.  It can improve communication and enhance the relationship between person and animal.

The course comprises of the following:
  • Homestudy pack which includes questions on animal health and behaviour
  • 2 full days of practical training, plus assessment on safe handling
  • Case studies and observations

Students must enrole on the course at least one month before the practical dates to allow time to complete homestudy questions and have them marked.  Homestudy can be submitted via e-mail or post.

Having completed this course students receive a certificate to work on both people and animals.  Students may
 choose to work as a practitioner at this level, although most complete Reiki 2 before charging a fee.  Some people just use Reiki to benefit oneself, family, friends and their own animals.


During the course students will:
  • learn the history and theory behind Reiki
  • receive your attunement to 1st Degree Reiki. 
  • learn how to feel energy and develop your intuition
  • practice self healing techniques
  • learn protocols of using Reiki with both people and animals 
  • learn about basic animal health and physiology
  • learn about basic animal handling skills and psychology
  • practice the Reiki hand positions 
  • practice the scanning technique
  • learn how using Reiki on yourself can help your animals
  • learn requirements when working in a clinic or in collaboration with vets
  • learn to read body language and energy responses from animals
  • develop your ability to listen to energy and communicate using Reiki
  • learn about the energy systems of the body: chakras, auras and meridians
  • practice the techniques on eachother and give feedback
  • practice techniques on the animals

Having completed first degree, you can go on to learn further techniques at second degree level.

Cost: £175 (includes course material, certificates, snacks and drinks).

For information on dates and venues, please visit the 'Reiki course dates' page, or contact Jo Rose on 01273 299611 / 07989 505264, or fill in an
enquiry form.

NB: The course includes practice on dogs, cats and horses.  For those who do not wish to work directly on horses, I recommend that students observe them while they are receiving Reiki, as their body language responses are very clear and can teach the student a great deal.  It may also be possible to join a group which concentrates on pets only.  Please contact Jo for more information.

Feedback from some of Jo's students:
'I'm really enjoying using Reiki with animals, and finding it very beneficial. 
While giving my temperamental hunter, Farlow, a Reiki session, I was guided to a tooth abscess.  Since sorting that out, he's a changed horse and my husband is really enjoying riding him again.
I've been working on my husband's mare who has had mental and physical shocks in her life.  She is usually a hyper horse but really relaxes and releases with Reiki.'  Julie

'Since the Reiki course, my dog walking business has boomed.  The dogs are so much calmer and responsive with me that people are constantly asking me if I take their dog on my walks.'  Claudette

'As a veterinary nurse I have incorporated Reiki in to my day to day work.  This has been so effective that the surgery is now sending me out to help pets with emotional and behavioural problems in their homes.'  Dayna
