[Luminea · Rating 5 out of 5]

A quick but useful read specifically addressing providing Reiki treatments to animals in shelters. I found this to be an insightful book that you could provide to a shelter unfamiliar with Reiki. This book would be a good introduction to the benefits of Reiki for animals.

Very quick read (about 30 minutes). Gives some good tips for Reiki practitioners considering working/volunteering at animal shelters/rescues.

Good information here. It is expected that you are at least a Reiki 1.
