From the Publisher
Animal Reiki is a widely recommended by alternative healers:

"While there are many ways for us to teach and to heal other animal beings, this forward-looking book offers an often overlooked hands-on way for us to develop and maintain close social bonds with our animal kin. I learned a lot from reading Animal Reiki and highly recommend it to a wide audience."

--Marc Bekoff, University of Colorado
author of Minding Animals and Animal Passions
and Beastly Virtues: Reflections on Redecorating Nature,
and editor of the Encyclopedia of Animal Behavior

"How appropriate to offer Reiki to the animals in our lives! The cats in my life (and a few very sensitive dogs) have been performing Reiki on me for years. It's time to return the favor. Fulton and Prasad have created a much needed guide to a method of helping animals heal that is gentle, intuitive, safe, and powerful. Learn it . . . then use it."
--Susan Chernak McElroy author of All My Relations: Living with Animals as Teachers and Healers, Animals as Guides for the Soul, and Heart in the Wild

--Allen and Linda Anderson founders of the Angel Animals Network and authors of Rainbows & Bridges: An Animal Companion Memorial Kit

--Mary Lou Randour, PhD Director of Education for the Doris Day Animal Foundation and author of Animal Grace: Entering a Spiritual Relationship with our Fellow Creatures

--Christopher Day, MA, VetMB, VetFFHom, MRCVS author of Homoeopathic Treatment of Small Animals: Principles and Practice

Customer Reviews

An excellent resource
As a Shamballa MDH Level IV Master/Teacher and animal communicator, I wanted to be able to extend my practice to include healings for animals and their situations. This book has been a fantastic guide and my Rottweiler, Syrus, is already enjoying the benefits.

This book is outstanding!!!
Very inspiring and practical book on how to give wonderful Reiki energy to pets and all animals and even nature. They show how simple and beautiful it is to give Reiki love to the world of animals. I think the thing that impressed me the most was the picture she had of the 4 deer that were lined up waiting to get their Reiki. Unbelievably beautiful! The stories were just fantastic! The 32 year old cat! I hadn't known they could LIVE that long! I really can't say enough things about this book. I wish it was about 10 times as long! I have a very beat up semi-feral cat who would not let me give him Reiki. When reading the book I found out that hands-on Reiki is too intense for some animals, and she showed how you can just sit and let Reiki flow from your hands, and shower the animal. I tried that with him, and he was very receptive to receiving it that way, and has had his gashes finally clear up. This book is chock full of practical Reiki wisdom and heartwarming stories. I personally could not read the chapter on animals that were ''transitioning.'' If you're like me, I'd suggest skipping that chapter unless you need to use it for that sometime, then it would be very good. I VERY highly recommend this book for people who want to try their Reiki on pets or wild animals. This book is for people who use Reiki. This is NOT a book for people that just want to do stuff for their animals. You need to learn Reiki first; this is not a Reiki manual for people who don't know it. I find it a shame that people would come on here and criticize a book that is doing exactly what it was intended for, because they thought the book was something it was not nor was it intended to be. Additionally, if there are people who want to learn Reiki to be able to work with their animals, I highly recommend the Steve Murray attunements and Guide. They're not expensive, and you can learn Reiki well enough to use this book for your animals. You will also have a wonderful healing method at your disposal any time you need it; Reiki is simply invaluable.

rip off
This book's subtitle, "Using energy to heal the animals in your life," is misleading. It suggests that you, the reader, will be given instructions to use reiki energy to heal your animal friends. The reality is the book tells stories of how the author has healed animals using reiki. In fact, she states that if you want to learn reiki yourself, you can reference the training centers in her index.
This would all be wonderful if the book were entitled, "Memoirs of Reiki Animal Healer" but since it is not, I am taking my book back for a refund.
Great animal pics. but otherwise a total rip off.
