1. Animals know…
2.They often find ways of letting US know they know. (About two months before his death from cancer and heart failure, Bogart the Reiki cat appeared in dreams to three of Dr. Laurie’s friends. He asked them to please help her get ready for him to leave. A few weeks before he passed, he appeared to her in a dream with the same message.)
3. They are often worried about leaving us. (During a distant Reiki session, Garfield told Dr. Laurie that he was worried about how his person would grieve after he left. He said that his plan was to “face death like my feline ancestors, without fear.”)
4. The good news: Love never dies. The love you share is indestructible. The soul connection we have with our animals is truly a forever bond.
5. Meditating together can bring you closer. It creates a safe energetic environment for the two of you to feel connected and loved.
6. Creating a vision board for social media or a scrapbook to preserve beautiful times.
7. Dr. Laurie can offer suggestions for a goodbye ceremony that honors your relationship and a spiritual ceremony for helping your animal cross safely to the other side.
1) The right to be treated as a living sentient being until death.
2) The right to be cared for by caring, sensitive, knowledgeable human beings who will attempt to understand the needs of the dying; beings who will find merit in helping a soul in animal form to die with peace and dignity.
3) The right to be free from pain.
4) The right to receive prayer and Reiki. In the Let Animals Lead ™ school of Reiki, we invite the animal’s soul to communicate and ask if he/she/they would like to receive Reiki which is sent as a gentle lake of tranquility and healing.
5) The right to refuse prayer and Reiki. (Some animals do not want healing from an external source. We do not “send energy” without the animal’s permission.)
6) The right to receive comfort care and to die with peace and dignity.
7) The right to be held with kindness before one’s death.
8) The right to expect that the sanctity of one’s physical body will be respected after death.
Reiki meditation for healing offers a calm, focused way to honor and support your pet during their final journey. Through quiet, intentional practice, subtle energies are balanced, creating a peaceful environment. Over 30 years in private practice, I’ve guided many distant Reiki sessions, observing how meditation can help release tension and foster comfort. It’s about creating stillness and presence, not doing anything physical. Many report sensing guidance from spirit beings or unseen presences during these sessions, adding a gentle layer of support for both the animal and the caregiver.
Animal Reiki Meditation is a practice designed to center awareness on your pet’s energy and well-being. Unlike typical meditation, it focuses on connecting with the subtle biofields of animals, especially during transitional moments. With more than 30 years of private practice, I guide distant sessions that create calm, supportive energy for pets. People often notice a shift in mood or a feeling of peacefulness, and in some sessions, non-physical beings, like spirit guides, may appear to assist. This meditation helps honor your animal’s final journey with compassion and gentle presence.
Natural energy healing works with the subtle energy fields surrounding animals, promoting comfort and calm as they move through life’s final stages. In over 30 years of private practice, distant Reiki sessions have been used to balance energy and create a peaceful space without physical contact. Many clients notice shifts in awareness, as if unseen entities are offering guidance or comfort. Natural healing is gentle and unobtrusive, allowing pets to remain relaxed while offering humans a way to support their beloved companions with intention, presence, and compassion.
A Buddhist healing prayer can beautifully complement Reiki sessions by bringing focused intention and reverence to your pet’s final moments. While I conduct distant Reiki sessions with over 30 years of private practice experience, incorporating a prayer adds a mindful rhythm that enhances calm and presence. Many pet owners notice a sense of guidance or support from unseen beings during this process. It’s a gentle, contemplative way to honor the life of your animal companion, creating a serene atmosphere where both humans and pets feel supported and held throughout the journey.
