What to Expect During a Distance Reiki Session for Your Pet

If you’ve ever wondered what happens during a Distance Reiki session for your pet, you’re not alone. Many owners are curious about what their animal might experience — and what they can do to help make the session as beneficial as possible.

Whether you’ve booked a 24-hour, 3-day, or 7-day Reiki session, or a Focused 1-to-1 session, each one is designed to gently support your pet’s emotional and energetic wellbeing from the comfort of their own environment.

🌿 How Reiki Works for Pets

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive form of energy healing that helps bring balance to the body and mind. Because energy isn’t limited by distance, Reiki can be sent remotely — allowing your pet to receive calm, supportive healing wherever they are in the world.

Just as with people, animals respond differently to Reiki. Some pets are instantly relaxed, others may act just as they normally do, and a few may even seem a little restless or agitated for a short time. All of these responses are perfectly normal.

Reiki helps to release blocked or stagnant energy, and sometimes that process can look like temporary restlessness before balance returns. You may notice changes in their breathing, posture, or mood — or simply that they sleep more deeply afterwards.

🐕 What You Can Do During the Session

You don’t need to do anything special — Reiki finds your pet wherever they are. But there are a few things you can do to help them (and yourself) make the most of it:

Create a calm space if possible. Turn off loud TVs or music and let your pet rest where they feel safe.
Avoid interrupting them. If they wander off or fall asleep, that’s fine — trust that the energy is reaching them.
Stay relaxed yourself. Animals are sensitive to our emotions. Take a few slow breaths and enjoy a moment of calm while the session takes place.
Notice and observe. Some owners like to jot down what their pet does during or after — subtle things like yawning, stretching, or lying closer to you. These are often signs they’re releasing and rebalancing.

✨ The Different Types of Sessions

At JaimeWiles.com, you can choose from several types of Distance Reiki sessions for pets, each with a slightly different focus and feel.

🕯️ 24-Hour Session

A gentle energetic boost ideal for support during stressful situations, travel, or after a vet visit. The Reiki energy flows continuously for a full day through a crystal grid — offering comfort, reassurance, and balance.

🌙 3-Day Session

Perfect when your pet needs a little extra help — for example, when settling into a new home, recovering from an upset, or during emotional shifts. The ongoing energy over three days helps them process gently and feel more at ease.

🌿 7-Day Session

A deeply supportive option that provides consistent healing and stability throughout the week. Ideal for pets dealing with longer-term stress, behavioural changes, or emotional healing after loss. The crystal grid stays active, sending steady, nurturing energy day and night.

💫 Focused 1-to-1 Session (30 Minutes)

This is a live, concentrated energy session sent with specific focus on your pet’s immediate needs — whether emotional, physical, or behavioural. It’s often stronger and more direct, making it perfect when you want fast results or to address something specific. Some animals feel the effects quickly, while others may rest deeply afterwards.

💜 Gentle or Focused — Which Is Right for Your Pet?

The longer grid-based sessions (24-hour, 3-day, 7-day) act like a continuous wave of calm energy. They’re ideal for sensitive pets, rescues, or those needing gradual emotional support. Think of them as a soft, soothing presence in the background — quietly helping your pet feel safe and settled.

The Focused 1-to-1 session is more like a concentrated burst of light — stronger, faster, and sometimes more noticeable in how your pet responds. It’s best when a particular issue needs immediate attention or deeper clearing.

🐾 After the Session

Many pets will sleep more deeply, stretch, or show affection afterwards. Some may have a short burst of energy or act slightly different for a few hours as their system rebalances. This is all part of the natural process.

Trust that your pet’s body and energy know exactly what to do with the Reiki they receive. Offer water, comfort, and a calm space — and let them guide you on what they need next.
