What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a holistic healing modality for stress reduction, relaxation, and spiritual growth that also promotes healing.

Reiki is a simple, natural, and safe method of energy healing that anyone can use. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.

Reiki can also be used with animals, and animals tend to love it. Reiki can help animals in the same ways it helps humans: to balance and nourish the physical body, and to balance mental and emotional energy.

Reiki is particularly effective in helping animals who have been traumatized, or who are experiencing physical or behavioral difficulties. Reiki in combination with telepathic animal communication can assist animals in very powerful ways.

Reiki has been successfully taught to thousands of people of all ages and backgrounds all over the world.

  • How Reiki can support and enhance intuitive and telepathic communication with animals
 

“I enjoyed self-pacing, and the ability to review a lesson again and again.”

– Diane D.

“I feel that Reiki has helped me to become more emotionally centered and more aware of my intentions as I proceed through each day. It has helped me to become more compassionate in my dealings with clients in my volunteer work. My cat and I seem so much more closely connected as she joins me when I practice Reiki for myself or include her in a session.”

- Beth

About Nancy Windheart, Reiki Master-Teacher

Reiki is one of the most powerful tools that I use in my daily personal life, as well as in my animal communication and intuitive healing practice. As a Reiki Master-Teacher (I am a Professional Member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals), I use Reiki daily for myself, my animal family, and with my human and animal clients.

My journey with Reiki started after I began my professional practice as an animal communicator. I was interested in Reiki because I wanted additional tools that I could offer to my clients and their animals, particularly those who were healing from trauma, or had emotional, behavioral, or physical issues that could benefit from the supportive holistic healing energy that Reiki provides.

I was initially drawn to Reiki as a supportive service that I could offer to my clients and their animal friends. What I didn’t expect, really, was how much Reiki would change MY life.

As a Reiki Master-Teacher, my mission is to share the gift of Reiki and to train people who wish to become Reiki Practitioners. Because of my work as an animal communicator, Reiki for animals is a large part of my professional and teaching practice. Reiki has also become an intimate part of my personal spiritual practice, connecting me more deeply to source energy and the divine love that is available to all beings.

I invite you to join me in discovering the benefits and blessings of Reiki!

Ruzuku Course Platform

This course is taught on the Ruzuku platform.

Here’s the deal: I’ve been a teacher all of my working life, and I have (ahem) more than a fair bit of experience, including high school, university, and adult education programs. I know a wee something or two about curriculum design.

So, I’m fussy about how I teach what I teach.

I searched and searched for a way to present my classes online that had the curriculum design elements that I wanted and knew my students needed.

This one has it. I was impressed…and, well, it’s not always easy to impress me.

I love this platform, both as an instructor and as a student. It has everything you want in an online class format:

  • easy-to-use class navigation
  • feeling of accomplishment as you complete the steps of the course
  • online community where you can interact with other students and the course teacher
  • easy-to-use format that makes accessing course materials simple and fun
  • fabulous support from the Ruzuku team for any technical questions

The Ruzuku platform holds all of the class materials–handouts, recordings, videos–so that they are always accessible online from wherever you are, using your computer or mobile device.

The feedback from students about the Ruzuku platform has been fantastic. You’ll love it!

"I love the fact that this course is available online, which makes it available to me independent of my physical proximity to the course. That is flexibility. I like being able to work at my own pace – but with structured check-in calls. The course is very comprehensive and it is wonderful that the live calls are built into this structure, so that we may also benefit interactively from both Nancy’s instruction and each other’s shares."

– Diane D.

"The Ruzuku platform was so easy to use–even on my Kindle!"

– Amy B.

What Some of My Graduates Have Expressed…

 

“My expectations were exceeded. There was enough background information to help me understand the development of Reiki, and practice exercises to help me become more comfortable with the technique, how the energy works through me, etc. I’ve taken Nancy Windheart’s animal communication classes and feel she is a talented and intuitive teacher, healer and animal communicator — so I was confident that this would be another excellent course.”

– Deanna S.

“As always, it was a well structured and wonderfully taught class. The curriculum was easy to understand and to follow. Not only do you have the gift of your knowledge to share, you have such a genuine and deep passion for wanting your students to… excel that it shines through in your teaching. Thank you for all you give to each of us.”

– Jennifer Nicolella

Frequently Asked Questions

Who can learn Reiki?

There are no educational prerequisites required to attend beginning Reiki classes. Anyone can learn Reiki who has an open heart and an open mind and a desire to help others. Even people who are skeptical have learned to embrace Reiki as a result of direct experience.

Although many health care practitioners, veterinarians, veterinary technicians, nurses, doctors and therapists use Reiki in their profession, most people who are trained in Reiki begin by using it for their families and friends.

Is Reiki a religion?

No, Reiki is not part of any specific religious practice or tradition.  Working with the Reiki energy can help enhance one’s religious or spiritual practice, but it is not a religion within itself. Reiki is practiced by people within many spiritual traditions, and it is also practiced by people who have no religious or spiritual belief system.

How is Reiki for animals different than Reiki for humans?

Reiki is Reiki; there is no difference in the Reiki energy whether it is used with humans or animals.

How humans and animals receive Reiki, however, can vary greatly. When sharing Reiki with animals, it’s important to understand these differences. The Reiki for People & Animals classes classes address this topic specifically.

I’ve never taken an online class before. Do I need any special technical skills?

No special technical skills are required! All you need is a computer or mobile device with Internet access, an email address, and a telephone, laptop, or tablet for the live calls.

The Ruzuku platform is designed to be easy to use, even for novice online learners. The Ruzuku support staff is excellent and consistently available.

How long will I have access to the online class materials?

The class materials will be available indefinitely on the Ruzuku platform.
