Therapies such as Reiki may help animals who are nervous, frightened or anxious by promoting a sense of relaxation. In a calm, relaxed state they are likely to feel more at ease and more trusting, and be less reactive to environmental factors that are stressful.
The use of Animal Communication can be extremely valuable for distressed animals too. When we communicate with them, caringly explaining what is happening, it takes away some of the fear of the unknown.
