The Animal Reiki Course heals people as much as animals and deepens our role as partners and caretakers within the divine animal kingdom."

Animal Reiki I & II are taught together during a two-day class and includes two Animal Reiki Placements (attunements). For those who want to share Reiki with animals, this beginning training is comprehensive. Upon completion, you can offer Animal Reiki treatments to all species of animals.  

To qualify to take this class, a student must have taken Reiki I & II from any lineage. 

The Animal Reiki energy received in this course is a unique Reiki energy given to us as a special life force energy for the animals.  The Placements given in the ICRT Animal Reiki I & II class will attune and unify the Animal Reiki symbol with each student’s existing Reiki energy and symbols and allow the practitioner to channel the Animal Reiki energy.  

This course includes practitioner skills, tools, and techniques needed to share Reiki with the animals. It is a combination of lecture, discussion, and practice and is open to all Reiki lineages. The information and techniques for both levels include:  

• The history of ICRT Animal Reiki. 
• Animal Reiki defined and discussion of priorities for animals. 
• An Usui Reiki symbols refresher. 
• The Animal Reiki symbol—The Tree of Life.
