How Reiki Professionals Can Support Their Pets During New Year Celebrations!

New Year celebrations bring joy, excitement, and often, fireworks. While the festivities are thrilling for humans, they can be distressing for pets due to loud noises, bright lights, and the general hustle and bustle. As a Reiki professional, you have the unique ability to support your furry companions during these stressful times using the healing energy of Reiki.

Here are some practical tips on how to help your pets feel calm and secure during New Year celebrations:

1. Prepare a Safe Space

Create a quiet, comfortable area in your home where your pet can retreat if they feel overwhelmed. Include their favorite blanket, toys, and some water. Before the celebrations begin, cleanse this space energetically using Reiki to infuse it with calm and peaceful energy.

• Visualize white or golden light filling the space as you set the intention for it to be a sanctuary of safety and comfort.

2. Reiki Sessions Before the Celebrations

Offer your pet a Reiki session to build a foundation of calm. Pay attention to their reactions and adjust the energy flow accordingly.

• Use hands-on Reiki if your pet is comfortable with touch, or practice distance Reiki if they prefer not to be touched.
• Set the intention for your Reiki session to promote relaxation and resilience.

3. Grounding Techniques

Ground yourself before working with your pet. Animals are highly intuitive and will pick up on your energy. A grounded and centered state will help them feel more secure.

• Practice a brief meditation or grounding exercise before starting Reiki.
• Use the Root Chakra energy to anchor both you and your pet during the session.

4. Calming Affirmations

Incorporate calming affirmations into your Reiki practice. Whisper or mentally project statements like:

• “You are safe and loved.”
• “You can relax; I’m here to support you.”

Affirmations paired with Reiki energy can deeply reassure pets during moments of anxiety.

5. Reiki During Fireworks

When the fireworks begin, stay close to your pet and offer Reiki. Keep your energy calm and grounded to act as a soothing presence.

• Place your hands lightly on or near your pet (if they are comfortable) and let the Reiki energy flow.
• Visualize a protective bubble of light around your pet, shielding them from the intensity of the noise and lights.
• Focus on their Heart Chakra to provide comfort and love.

6. Essential Oils and Reiki

Consider using pet-safe essential oils like lavender to complement Reiki. Diffuse the oil in the room or lightly apply it to your pet’s bedding. Ensure the oil is safe for their species and used in moderation.

• Infuse the oil with Reiki energy before use to amplify its calming effects.

7. Post-Celebration Care

Once the celebrations are over, offer a Reiki session to help your pet process any lingering stress. This is also a good time to check for any signs of trauma or anxiety and continue providing energetic support as needed.

Final Thoughts

As a Reiki professional, you have a powerful tool to help your pets navigate the challenges of New Year celebrations. By combining your Reiki practice with practical steps to create a safe and calm environment, you can ensure your furry friends feel supported and loved during this festive season.

Remember, the key is to remain calm and present. Your pets trust and look to you for comfort, and your energy can make all the difference in their experience. Wishing you and your beloved companions a serene and joyful New Year!
