Do you want to expand your personal healing journey?
Are you wanting a deep communion with the animals in your life?
Are you ready to become a professional Animal Reiki practitioner?
This class is similar to Okuken Reiki training for humans, with the addition of the focus on animals. In this class, you will be introduced to the classic Japanese Reiki symbols and mantras to help deepen your connection to the energy of Reiki, thus promoting deeper healing for yourself and the animals. You will also learn affirmations and visualizations to help you connect on a more intimate level with animals. In addition, Okuden teaches how to become a professional Reiki practitioner.
In this intermediate course for animals, you will learn:
- Advanced classical Japanese techniques and meditations
- Three symbols and three mantras

- Becoming a part of the Reiki Community
- Receiving on-going support from your teacher

Time is reserved for lots of practice and meditation, so that by the end of the class, you have a full experience of Reiki energy and a fuller knowledge of the System of Reiki, putting you in a great position to expand your own spiritual practice and to start treating animals for pay.
