Description
Before offering Reiki in the presence of an animal, it can be helpful to return quietly to your own practice.
Returning to Presence is a printable guided journal created for personal self-Reiki. It offers a calm and beautifully illustrated space in which animal Reiki students, practitioners and pet caregivers can strengthen their own relationship with Reiki.
Through gentle instructions and spacious reflection pages, the journal invites you to practise slowly, remain receptive and allow Reiki to flow where it is needed for your highest good. There is no need to force sensations or reach a particular outcome. Simply arrive, practise and notice what naturally unfolds.
FOUNDATIONAL REIKI PRACTICES
The journal introduces six foundational Japanese Reiki techniques:
• Gassho
• Joshin Kokyu Ho
• Kenyoku Ho
• Hatsurei Ho
• Reiji Ho
• Byosen Reikan Ho
Each technique is followed by a dedicated reflection page with generous, unlined writing space. You may write briefly, fill the page or leave space around your words—whatever feels natural to you.
The journal also includes pages for:
• Setting a gentle intention for your practice
• Weaving the techniques together
• Developing your own personal Reiki sequence
• Resting in presence and oneness
• Bringing Reiki awareness into everyday life
• Reflecting on how you would like your practice to continue
A FOUNDATION FOR ANIMAL REIKI
This is a journal for your own self-Reiki practice rather than a record of sessions with animals.
Personal practice can support the steady, patient and receptive presence that is so valuable when sharing Reiki space with an animal. It invites you to become comfortable with stillness, trust the unfolding of the practice and approach Reiki without pressure or expectation.
