Chapter 9: Adapting Reiki Practice for Different Animals
The basic spirit of Animal Reiki remains the same across species: prepare yourself, invite rather than impose, begin hands-off, and allow the animal to determine their level of participation.

Chapter 8: Offering Animal Reiki: A Complete Session
An Animal Reiki session is not something you perform upon an animal. It is a practice you enter with them.

Chapter 7: Understanding Animal Communication, Choice & Boundaries
