Pamela (00:07):
Hi, and welcome to the Reiki from the Farm Podcast,
brought to you by me, Pam AllenLeBla from Hidden Brook Farm.
I am a scientist, abusinesswoman, and a licensed
Reiki master teacher with theInternational Center for Reiki
training.
Each week in this podcast,you'll be entertained as you
learn about a wide variety ofrelevant Reiki topics helping
(00:30):
you become a more knowledgeableand effective Reiki
practitioner.
We caution you though thispodcast may also dramatically
improve your life.
And we are so happy that you'rehere.
(00:57):
So on this month's Reiki shareand this week's podcast, we're
actually talking about Reiki foryou and your Animal Companion,
and I'm really happy to have allof you here with me.
A lot of you know that I justfinished an election.
(01:18):
Campaign on Monday night.
This past Monday was theelection and so it's really
lovely to have a chance to behere with you.
Today with this, before we govery far, I did just want to let
you know that this weekend May3rd and fourth, I have a level
(01:39):
one and two class.
There's still two spots in theclass.
May 5th to eighth is in theevenings, in the eastern time
zone is a Reiki masterclass.
May 10 to 11.
Is a weekend animal Reiki levelone and two class that's in
person and online at the farm.
But I am, I think I've only gotonline students, so I am
(02:02):
thinking of switching it to justonline.
And then May 12th to 15th.
Online in the evenings is myanimal Reiki master class, and
then the following weekend.
May, 17th to 18th is our onlinehealthcare Reiki class.
So my colleague Tracy isteaching it at the Northeast
(02:23):
Reiki retreat this week as wemeet.
And so I'll be finding outtomorrow morning from her how it
all went.
And I'm really super proud ofit.
I think the manual is about 109pages and it's just, it's really
complete.
And can help.
Folks bring healthcare Reikiinto a variety of healthcare
(02:45):
environments.
There's still, I think, fourspots left in the online class,
three or four.
And so if you did wanna join usthe weekend of May 17th to 18th,
that's a Saturday and Sunday,please do.
And then August.
Nine to 13th is a level one andtwo and masterclass.
(03:06):
Where we go whale watching thatclass is both online and in
person.
In Campobello.
Would love to have you join us.
A lot of people come to upgradeso that they can become a
professional member.
So if your classes, if yourcourses weren't with a licensed
teacher.
You'd like to become aprofessional member of the Reiki
(03:26):
Membership Association, the ICRTReiki Membership Association.
Those five days would do that.
And you can take just one andtwo or just master, and then the
following week, August 16th to20th.
And these are, saturday, Sundayfor the level one and two, and
then Monday to Wednesday for themaster classes, August 16th to
(03:50):
20th.
I have animal Reiki level oneand two and master.
So I would love to have you joinus for that.
As we get started today, just aswe began a little sparrow went
and landed right outside mywindow.
And one of the things I like todo is pull up the spirit
(04:12):
animals.
I've got my little spirit animalpocket guide to just let me know
when an animal shows up.
Like that.
And especially when they show upand just land really close so
that you'll see them.
There's usually a message behindit.
So I just like to take this as acollective message for all of us
tonight.
When the Sparrow shows up, itmeans this is a very productive
(04:36):
and prolific time.
Look for the nobility in themost common of things and
people, including yourself.
Walk with poise, your head heldup, eyes straight ahead, showing
the world your self-respect anddignity.
It might also mean that yourheart is opening more and more
(04:56):
to the love you receive, andyou're more readily expressing
love.
And it could also mean that yourenergy and vitality are
awakening and you'll findyourself whistling or singing
without even being aware of it.
So I want to thank that sweetlittle Sparrow for showing up
for us today.
(05:18):
And it's very fitting becausetoday we're going to be talking
about animal Reiki.
And this is something that evenif you are, even if you are not,
don't have an animal with you.
It's something that animal Reikiis really amazing for humans as
(05:40):
well.
That's something that we're allgoing to take some benefit from
today.
And if you do have an animalwith you, let's just talk about
that a little bit.
But first, before we do, let'sjust go ahead and activate our
Reiki and go into a little bitof an invocation.
So just bring your handstogether at your heart with your
(06:04):
thumbs in the prayer position orGassho, and go ahead and
activate any Reiki symbols thatyou have.
And if you have the animal Reikisymbol, be sure to include that.
And just take a moment now andreflect on the different animals
(06:28):
that have touched your life.
And some of them really standout, and yet they were all
important.
There's a theory.
(06:49):
Dr.
Temple Grandin expresses that itwas actually only when we began
to form bonds with dogs that ourown evolution shifted as dogs
took on some of our duties.
(07:09):
Then the frontal cortex of ourbrain, the neocortex was able to
develop.
We were able to let go of someof the.
More primitive, the need forstrong olfactory senses and so
on.
As the dogs took on those dutiesfor us, and with each animal
that we've formed an alliance orallegiance with, it has freed us
(07:33):
up to other things.
And when we consider the draftanimals that for our ancestors.
We traveled with and they plowedour lands and so on.
We've had a long associationwith animals, and yet it's
interesting that, for instance,there are more horses on the
(07:57):
world today than when they werethe primary mode of
transportation.
So a lot of our animals havemoved more into the companion
role.
That's just been so veryimportant in our own formation,
(08:18):
how we evolved as a person, as asoul.
So just taking a moment to sendReiki to all of those animal
companions and to invite them tojoin us to today.
Even animals that have aredeceased can receive Reiki.
(08:40):
So this is for all of our livingand deceased animal companions
from the beginning of our lives,the beginning of time.
We take a moment now to saythank you to them for the gifts
(09:01):
that they brought us.
And this is very reciprocal.
So each of them also say Thankyou to you because you made a
difference in their lives.
And in the end there isgratitude.
(09:22):
Thank you.
Amen.
So Reiki in animals aresomething that is as natural, as
peanut butter and jelly, but Iam a big fan of peanut butter
and jelly.
They go together.
When I first learned Reiki.
(09:45):
I became aware that I wassomething called an empath, and
I know we've talked about thatin different classes before.
So I was someone who not onlywas aware of, but also absorbed
some of the denser energies ofothers.
And there's a pretty good chanceif you're listening to this, and
if you're a Reiki practitioner,you might be an empath too, but.
(10:11):
I also had become aware thatanimals are even more sensitive
than most humans and thatthey're energetic beings.
And one of the things I noticedwas that my horses, I was I had
a horse business where I taughtpeople to work with.
(10:35):
Kind of gentler techniques withhorses and.
People would come sometimes in astate of high stress or anxiety,
and they would leave completelyzen.
And I loved witnessing it, but Ihad started to notice that some
(10:55):
of the stress was building up inthe body language of my horses.
And some of the horses wouldeven run away when some of the
more troubled students wouldshow up.
Or when any students showed upand I thought no, that's not
what I wanted to accomplish.
I wasn't really running my horsebusiness to make money.
(11:17):
I was running it because Ibelieve if you want to learn
something really well teach it.
And I was really interested inand delving into a new way.
At that time, back in, in 2009,2007, I guess I started my
business.
I was delving into a new way ofworking with horses and it was
(11:39):
called natural horsemanship.
And there were very different,all kinds of different
iterations of it and differentways of doing it.
And so I thought, one of theways I could learn this really
well is to teach it.
Plus, by starting a horsebusiness, I could buy more
horses and I could get moretack.
So it was a win-win for me.
But what wasn't win-win waswatching that stress in tension
(12:00):
build up in my horses.
So my Reiki teacher I had donesome business consulting for her
and she felt that I didn't feelshe owed me anything, but she
still felt that she did.
And she offered in exchange toattune my horses to Reiki, and I
had noticed how much Reiki hadhelped me.
(12:21):
So I said, absolutely, yes,whenever you're available,
please go ahead and do that.
So she did.
She attuned at first, only fourof the 11 horses that I had at
the time wanted Reiki.
So she attuned those four, butshe said, why don't we give it a
few weeks and see if the otherswant Reiki?
Once they understand more whatit is.
(12:41):
So I noticed a difference inthose four.
Immediately.
One of the four that did wantReiki was the one that was
running away when her studentsarrived.
And the tension and stress justwent completely out of her body.
And she started to enjoy thelessons again, which was lovely.
(13:02):
Then a few weeks later, she, myteacher came went and attuned
the rest of the horses to Reikiand.
We noticed pronounceddifferences, changes in their
personality.
Particularly I think of Lizziebecause she was so shy.
She was our youngest.
She was a baby and nobody eversaw her.
(13:24):
She was constantly hiding behindher mother and.
The next day after the Reikiattunement, she was at the fence
saying, hi, I am Lizzie.
Who are you?
And just her shyness comcompletely went away, which was
beautiful.
So from that moment on, I knewthat animals and Reiki really
(13:44):
went together.
But later on when I learned atthe master level.
That was one of the things Iwanted to learn was how to
attune animals and, how highwould you take an animal if you
attuned them?
And I was so grateful to have anopportunity after the cla, my
masterclass in England to talkwith William Rand.
(14:07):
And I thought he would saysomething like maybe you
shouldn't attune them, or maybeyou should only attune them to
level two, or something likethat.
But he didn't, he said.
Ask them if they want anattunement first.
Don't ever force an attunementon any animal and with a, by
attunement you, actuallyconnecting them with the energy
(14:28):
because most animals do enjoyreceiving a Reiki session.
But sometimes an animal, manytimes animals also enjoy getting
connected with the energythemselves and in attunement.
So that they can channel theenergy when they want to.
And so William's recommendationwas first, ask them if they want
(14:48):
one and honor whatever they,whatever you hear.
And he was aware that I couldcommunicate with animals.
And sometimes that's somethingthat opens naturally with people
as they learn Reiki.
And then also I have my animalcommunication class, which helps
people.
To understand it as well.
(15:10):
But he said, ask them if theywant an attunement, then ask
them what level they want to goto and work your way up to that
level.
And he said, I would take themall the way to master Pam if
that's what they want, what theyprefer.
So that was amazing.
I came home, I started, I all ofmy horses.
Not all of them wanted to go tomaster level, but all of them
(15:33):
were level one from my teacher.
And then many of them went tolevel two and then eventually
level three.
And then many did go on tomaster.
And when I learned Una Reikiabout half the herd.
Was interested in Una, half theherd wasn't.
And so about half the herd movedup into Una.
(15:54):
But then later on I learned holyfire.
And once I learned holy fire,they all wanted holy fire.
So they all went to the masterlevel.
Even the ones who had werestaying at level three with
that.
And as I began working with thehorses, as they.
Were able to channel Reiki notonly did some of their
(16:15):
personalities.
Shift.
And a lot of horses that maybehad some traumas or issues those
really lifted for them.
But I started noticing that inmy Reiki classes, they were
Reiki classes, but in my horseclasses, a lot of the horses
would use Reiki on theirstudents.
(16:36):
And I was seeing everybodyyawning and relaxing really
deeply.
It actually made for verybeautiful lessons.
I never asked the horses to.
That's one of the things that'svery important when an animal
has an attunement, that youdon't put any expectations on
them.
(16:56):
You just allow them to.
Use the Reiki however they wish,however they see fit.
Sometimes they'll use it on you.
My horses use it on me all thetime.
My horses decided that theywanted to use it on their
students.
And so quite often they do.
They don't seem to have to askpermission.
They seem to know whether theyhave it or not, and just
(17:18):
innately know.
And so that began my journeywith Reiki and animals and.
Combining that with animalcommunication just learned so
very much.
But one of the things I learnedwas just as in the same way as
my horses were taking on some ofthat stress and tension from
their students.
Many of our companion animalsshare our burdens and we also
(17:43):
share theirs.
It goes both ways.
Like sometimes we feel reallyguilty about that.
Oh no, I'm putting all myburdens on my animal.
But the animals are very clearthat I.
If they're in your life, they'rethere to, that's their purpose,
is to share your burdens.
And they're very clear that youare also sharing theirs, that
(18:05):
it's a reciprocal relationship.
It's not one way at all.
So that's a very beautifulthing.
And sometimes I've had studentsor clients say, please tell them
to stop sharing my burdens.
And to date, I've never beensuccessful with that.
The animal says, no, they're myperson.
Of course I'm gonna share theirburden.
(18:27):
What they've told me instead is,if you don't want us sharing
your burden, then look afteryourself better do your self
care and do your own Reiki andget.
Sessions or, do whatever youneed to do to stay healthy,
because I'm always going toshare your burden.
So eventually that you guys ledto animal Reiki and some of you
(18:51):
know that in a class in 2017, Ithink it was 2000.
Or 2016 maybe with William Rand.
I received a little tap on theshoulder'cause I'd written some
articles about this and people,I got some great feedback from
the articles.
And in that class I got a littletap on the shoulder that said
(19:14):
you're to create a course.
Called Animal Reiki, and I said,it is funny because usually when
I receive guidance, I argueagainst it a little bit.
And I whinge and complain and Iexplain why I shouldn't have to
do that or don't wanna do that,or whatever.
And I think maybe for the firsttime ever when the energy said
(19:36):
you are to create animal Reiki,I just said, yes, absolutely.
Without one has, without anyhesitation whatsoever.
And, and then I found out laterin the class, in that same class
was when I got a tap on theshoulder to become a licensed
teacher as well.
But I found out later in thatclass that Colleen Benelli was.
(19:58):
Also, or was already working onanimal Reiki for the ICRT.
So I got in touch with Colleenand indeed she was open to
receiving help, but they hadbeen working on it and working
on it, and the energy keptsaying it wasn't ready.
So it wasn't until Holy Firethree showed up in 2018 that the
(20:20):
enter, and that was exactly atthe same time that I was
accepted into the licensedteacher program.
That the energy said it wasfinally ready.
And so together with Colleen,myself, Sue Strong and Robin
Bonelli, the four of us gottogether.
We met in Portland, Oregon forfour days and just worked 12
(20:44):
hour days, four days straightand.
Maybe even longer and justlistened.
And we listened and listened tothe energy.
And what eventually came was theanimal Reiki horse.
And in fact, that listeningprocess, I was explaining to you
that my colleague Tracy Sullivanand I have created a healthcare
(21:07):
Reiki course.
And that process of listening tothe energy for what it wanted,
what it needed, what was tryingto come through, that really
served us well because we wereable to do the same process with
healthcare Reiki, which wasquite.
Quite lovely.
So many people have used Reiki.
(21:31):
The Reiki that you have, theYasui Reiki or whatever type of
Reiki that you have withanimals, and there's nothing
wrong with that.
That's what the four of us,Colleen, Robin, Sue and I,
that's what we did for over adecade.
Was use the we had a YasuiTibetan lineage of Reiki and
that, and then the Yasui HolyFire lineage.
(21:52):
Those were the lineages of Reikithat we used with animals, and
most animals were receptive toit.
Most animals enjoyed getting asession.
Many animals, if it were open toreceiving an attunement, if that
was more appropriate for theanimal.
Or more helpful.
And so over the course of thedecade that I worked with the
(22:18):
energy, I guess we started.
Working on animal Reiki inJanuary of 2019.
So it was about a decade ofworking and then nine, eight or
nine years of attuning animals,I had the opportunity to attune
hundreds, maybe even a thousandor more animals, and get to see
(22:40):
what that did.
It was so beneficial for, forall of them actually.
And then I got an opportunity tosee what it was like to receive
Reiki from animals to also doReiki sessions.
So I worked professionally withit and as an animal communicator
to, to get additionalinformation for quite some time.
(23:00):
And when we had, when we startedlistening, we thought we were
just going to be teaching peoplehow to use the energy they
already have.
With animals, and that's notwhat happened at all.
In fact, it what we receivedwent so far beyond what we
thought we were doing it.
(23:21):
The animal Reiki showed us thatit had its own energy and it's
very soft, but very strong atthe same time, like very
powerful but softer.
Than the yasui energy, which wasinteresting because probably
about 10% of the animals that weworked with Yasui Reiki, we all
(23:42):
noticed it.
About 10% were not reallyinterested in it, like it was
maybe a little too intense forthem, and we noticed that made a
really big difference.
The animal Reiki was not asintense, and so it worked out
really well.
So its own energy, and there wasa really powerful message that
(24:07):
came through with animal Reikithat I'd like to share with you.
And it, it just, I don't know itjust really shifted something in
me.
The animals told us, if we couldonly teach you to love
yourselves.
(24:28):
As much as we love you, that'sthe one thing we think you're
beautiful and we would like, wejust wish you would see that
too, that you're incredible,magnificent.
And when you learn to seeyourself through an animal's
eyes, it's incredible actually.
(24:48):
They see the light within us.
They see the beauty, they seethe magnificence.
They don't see all of the thingsthat we think that are wrong
with us.
Those are just illusions anyway.
They can see through theillusions, they can see to how
beautiful and brilliant each andevery individual on the planet
is.
(25:09):
And that was the one thing thatthey wanted for us is for us to
see our beauty and a messagethat Colleen had with the earth.
A little bit bef prior to theclass was that the earth had
said.
You're beautiful.
Colleen had asked one day, whatmust you think of us?
(25:32):
And the earth told her, you'rebeautiful.
And if only you would realizethat if only you could see your
beauty, you would create yourlife from a place of beauty.
But when you believe yourselvesto be destructive, you then
create your life from that.
So the animals have asked us toshift our perspective and stop
(25:52):
focusing on what's wrong or whatwe don't like.
And start focusing on what'sbeautiful and brilliant and
magnificent.
And I found personally that I.
It's just, it's brought backchildlike wonder for me, like I
just, I look around the earthall the time and just, you can
(26:17):
see the beauty now in everyoneand everything.
And that is another one of thegifts of.
This animal Reiki, and I'mtelling you a bit about it'cause
this is the energy I'm going touse tonight and you can use your
own Reiki, but I am going and ifyou have animal Reiki use that.
But if you don't, I'll besending you some so that you can
get a sense of what thisfrequency is.
(26:40):
And another thing that theanimal Reiki really did for us
is it healed the belief ofdominion over.
So there's a belief in not justChristian.
Society, but in many differenttraditions.
In Christian, it goes along,it's in the book of Genesis
where we, there's a, anunderstanding that of dominion
(27:04):
over the earth, but it, thatsame dominion over belief exists
in many different religious andspiritual traditions except
maybe Buddhism and.
What that, what the animal Reikienergy showed us is that we
misunderstood what dominionmeant.
(27:27):
Dominion didn't mean, over, itmeant in communion with, there
may have been a mistranslationor a misunderstanding at some
point in history, and we wereshown that it was meant to be
not dominion over the earth, butcommunion with the earth.
And the animals of the earth.
(27:48):
And one of the things that mostof us noticed with animal Reiki
is that as we went through thehealing exercises and the
placements in the class any, Idon't know about you guys but.
Many people, many sensitivepeople feel a little bit like we
(28:11):
don't belong on the planet.
Like maybe, there's somethingjust a bit different about us or
whatever.
And I.
The animal, like when that ishealed, that dominion over
belief is healed, you just getthis really deep sense of
belonging on the earth.
So these are some of theenergies that I'd like to use
(28:34):
today.
And just to give you an ideaabout your animals and how they
may receive the energy, some ofthem may, many of them will get
very dozy and sleep, but someactually have the opposite and
they get a little bit hyper inthe energy.
Most animals are really happy toreceive the energy.
(28:56):
They don't necessarily need tostay in the energy as long as we
do.
So sometimes about partwaythrough, they get up and they
shake and they yawn and theystretch, or they do one of, some
combination of those things.
And then they might just, tootleoff and do their own thing or
they might then get hyper.
So they tend not to take, theytend not to take quite as long
(29:19):
and yeah and most of them arevery open to this.
So this can be a reallybeautiful thing for you to
experience with your animal.
You may have some burdens thatthey're sharing that can lift,
they may have some burdens thatyou are sharing that can lift
and.
What you'll notice is foranimals, this is gonna support
(29:40):
their physical healing.
It can reduce anxiety, it canstrengthen trust and connection
with human companions.
And I've noticed I mentionedjust before we started that my
daughter just adopted a littledog yesterday from Texas and
yesterday he was pretty.
(30:02):
Afraid of all his surroundingsand pretty much everything.
And I asked my daughter,yesterday he wasn't interested
in receiving Reiki and you neveractually send, you never
actually do Reiki for an animalwithout having permission from
the animal itself as well as thecaregiver.
(30:22):
And so I didn't ask, but today Ijust checked in and I heard that
he was interested in receiving.
So I reached out to my daughter.
She said, yeah absolutely.
Mom, go ahead.
And I can't believe thedifference in that dog in a day.
He's, she sent a video over, shesaid, yeah, nevermind.
Laying around sleeping and beingscared of everything he's
(30:44):
playing.
Now we notice that it just comesalong so much.
More efficiently or quicker withwith Reiki in the mix with
humans.
This energy is gonna give you achance to deepen your bond with
your animal.
May, it might help develop yourintuition a little bit more.
(31:06):
And move us more in alignmentwith an the way animals
experience things.
And you're also going toprobably notice peace and
relaxation and healing.
So there's a lot of examples ofhow this energy has helped.
I know I had a, a dog once, hewas only a year old, but he was
a Rottweiler and coming onto ayear, I think he was 10 months
(31:28):
old and he was starting to showsigns of aggression in shows.
He was a show dog.
With only with male handlersand, but it was.
It was enough that it could beserious with a dog that large.
We wound up doing attunement forthat dog, and that went
completely away.
It doesn't always work.
(31:50):
But in that instance, it did, itwent co completely away from the
moment that he had hisattunement.
And he just lived a happy,healthy life and was just a, oh,
just a delightful dog.
And, I.
I went several years withoutseeing that dog.
He's passed on now, but I wentseveral years, like maybe six
(32:12):
years, seven years withoutseeing him.
And then as he was older, anolder dog might've even been
more than that.
It might've been more like eightor nine years.
And then I saw him again and heknew who I was immediately and
brought me his favorite toys.
It was just.
Just amazing and delightful.
There's just so many examples ofhow this energy has helped both
(32:36):
the animals and their humancompanions, what are some of the
things, whether you have animalReiki or not?
Here's a couple of things thatyou can do to practice Reiki
with your animals.
The first thing is just invitethem into a space that you've
filled with Reiki, and thenallow it to be their choice.
(32:58):
Let them come and go.
If they wish, and you'll findthat some animals are what we
call Reiki sponges or Reiki hogslike cats and horses.
Sometimes you have to say okay,that's it.
I can't, an hour's gone by ortwo hours have gone by.
I had one cat, I had two dogs.
One cat that would just laythere and want Reiki for hours
(33:21):
on end.
And sometimes that happens.
And then you've got otheranimals who prefer to be able to
move in and out of the energy asthey wish.
And what's important is that youdon't need to have your hands on
an animal to do Reiki with them.
In fact, I've noticed that manyanimals really prefer a
hands-off style of Reiki.
(33:43):
They prefer if you just activateReiki, say around you and in
your field.
If they can come and go.
So we don't ever have to beamReiki at an animal or chase them
down.
It's really important that werespect whether they wish to
receive it or not.
And we just offer it and allowthem to choose.
(34:04):
So there's a few things you cando.
It's easier for most animals tobe in their own environment.
To receive a session rather thango to a strange place.
And if an animal is morecomfortable in a herd, for
instance, or a pack then you cando Reiki on an individual
(34:24):
animal.
While it's still out in thefield in the pack, you can just
imagine the Reiki going besidethem and allowing them to step
into it if they wish to, oryeah, you can use the distance
symbol.
You can also send Reiki withyour eyes using gii hoe Don't
forget, and animals really liketo receive Reiki with the breath
(34:47):
Coqui hoe as well.
What is important in an animalReiki session is that you always
keep yourself safe.
So if you're working with alarger animal, stay outside the
stall or outside the fence.
If you're working with an animalthat's safer to be muzzled, keep
them muzzled.
And you have to keep your eyesopen.
(35:11):
Just to make, just to observeand keep everyone safe.
You may wish to play music, butyou don't have to.
If you do play music, just keepin mind that, many animals have
a better sense of hearing thanwe do.
Yeah.
And many animals are just opento receiving.
(35:34):
So with that in mind, I'm justgoing to welcome you to this
shared experience for you andyour animal Reiki companion.
This is something a littledifferent than what you'll find
in the manual.
It's something I decided tocreate for our session tonight.
And so whether your animal'swith you physically or is
(35:58):
present in spirit.
This meditation will work forall of you, everyone.
And if you may have an awful lotof animals, that's okay.
Reiki is limitless so I'm justgonna invite you to just make
yourselves really comfortableand if you're with you, just
allow them to get comfortableand relaxed.
(36:20):
And if you're in a safe space,go ahead and close your eyes.
Taking a deep breath in and justletting it out and just focusing
on your breath and take a fewbreaths this way.
(36:47):
Go ahead and place your handsover your heart.
With every inhale tonight, justfeel yourself connecting with
the earth.
Just aware of its steady,nurturing energy, remembering
(37:14):
that our bodies are made of theearth to give our spirit.
Life and breath.
And on every inhale, I justinvite you to pull the energy of
Reiki into your body on yourbreath.
And with every exhale, I inviteyou to release any tension or
(37:35):
stress or worry.
And I'm particularly beingguided tonight to mention the
energy and the collectiveconsciousness.
And the importance of justreleasing anything you've picked
up that's not your own.
And we're just gonna breathehere together for a dozen
(37:56):
breaths or more.
And as we do, we just releaseall empath energy and all
energies that are not ours.
As well as any tension orstress.
(40:13):
I'm just noticing the slightlydifferent frequency as animal
Reiki moves into the mix andsurrounds you.
You might imagine or visualizethe animal Reiki energy as a
(40:36):
beautiful golden light thatsurrounds both you and your
animal companions.
Just notice how peaceful andsafe the energy feels.
The space feels the energy is inyour shared Reiki field and it
(41:01):
fills it with love and healing.
And as it does this, I inviteyou to bring your awareness to
your heart.
Just imagining the Reiki energyand the animal Reiki energy
flowing into your heart, fillingyou with peace and calm, warmth,
(41:33):
and as this fills your heartspace, just imagine it then
expanding outward.
Creating this beautiful, gentleconnection of light of Reiki
between you and your animalcompanion.
(42:05):
And as Reiki continues to flow,I invite you to repeat this.
To yourself on behalf of you andyour animal.
We are safe, we are loved.
We are whole and twice more.
(42:28):
We are safe.
We are loved.
We are whole.
We are safe, we are loved, weare whole, and we're gonna
(42:49):
remain here for a few momentstogether.
(44:02):
If there are any pieces of yourenergy that have become
scattered, they concentratearound you.
Now moving through the filter ofReiki energy, they're cleansed
and they move back into you backwhere they belong.
(44:26):
I.
And we'll give that process abit of time to take place.
(46:25):
Take a moment to.
Focus on your animal companion,whether they're with you in
their physical nature, or focuson their energy.
If they're with you in spiritform, just imagine the Reiki
(46:50):
energy flowing.
Toward them and just invitingtheir acceptance.
You don't need to direct orcontrol the energy.
Just trust that your animal,whether they're in physical or
spirit form, knows how muchReiki they need and where it
(47:14):
should flow.
And as the Reiki energy beginsto flow.
It's already been flowing, butit begins to flow with more
intensity to your animalcompanion.
Just feel the connectionsdeepening between you a shared
(47:36):
bond of love and peace, andwe're just going to stay here
for several moments together.
(48:26):
And now both you and your animalare receiving Reiki and animal
Reiki, the divine energy of theheavens and of the earth.
Just notice the energy flowinginto both of you equally.
I.
Or however many animals youhave, just nurturing and
(48:50):
balancing your shared space.
And as you become aware of this,I invite you to feel gratitude
for this moment of healing andconnection, knowing that Reiki
(49:11):
supports you and your animals.
Imperfect harmony.
I.
(52:43):
I am just feeling into thatdeepening connection before you
bring your awareness to youreyes back into the room.
Take a deep breath and comeback.
And when you're ready, you canopen your eyes.
(53:07):
You can observe your animalcompanion silently.
Thank them for sharing thisexperience with you, and just
take a moment to thank Reiki, tothank yourself for.
(53:27):
Taking this time of healing, andI invite you to carry the peace
and love of this session withyou into the rest of your week,
hoping that you have a beautifulweek and that your animals do
too.
(53:51):
I invite you to continue sharingReiki with your animals whenever
you can and whenever it feelsright to you.
I'd like to thank each and everyone of you for being with us
today, and I.
(54:14):
I hope that you have a beautifulweek.
Thank you for being thebeautiful light that you are in
the world.
Namaste.
Hi, and welcome to the Reiki from the Farm Podcast,
brought to you by me, Pam AllenLeBla from Hidden Brook Farm.
I am a scientist, abusinesswoman, and a licensed
Reiki master teacher with theInternational Center for Reiki
training.
Each week in this podcast,you'll be entertained as you
learn about a wide variety ofrelevant Reiki topics helping
(00:30):
you become a more knowledgeableand effective Reiki
practitioner.
We caution you though thispodcast may also dramatically
improve your life.
And we are so happy that you'rehere.
(00:57):
So on this month's Reiki shareand this week's podcast, we're
actually talking about Reiki foryou and your Animal Companion,
and I'm really happy to have allof you here with me.
A lot of you know that I justfinished an election.
(01:18):
Campaign on Monday night.
This past Monday was theelection and so it's really
lovely to have a chance to behere with you.
Today with this, before we govery far, I did just want to let
you know that this weekend May3rd and fourth, I have a level
(01:39):
one and two class.
There's still two spots in theclass.
May 5th to eighth is in theevenings, in the eastern time
zone is a Reiki masterclass.
May 10 to 11.
Is a weekend animal Reiki levelone and two class that's in
person and online at the farm.
But I am, I think I've only gotonline students, so I am
(02:02):
thinking of switching it to justonline.
And then May 12th to 15th.
Online in the evenings is myanimal Reiki master class, and
then the following weekend.
May, 17th to 18th is our onlinehealthcare Reiki class.
So my colleague Tracy isteaching it at the Northeast
(02:23):
Reiki retreat this week as wemeet.
And so I'll be finding outtomorrow morning from her how it
all went.
And I'm really super proud ofit.
I think the manual is about 109pages and it's just, it's really
complete.
And can help.
Folks bring healthcare Reikiinto a variety of healthcare
(02:45):
environments.
There's still, I think, fourspots left in the online class,
three or four.
And so if you did wanna join usthe weekend of May 17th to 18th,
that's a Saturday and Sunday,please do.
And then August.
Nine to 13th is a level one andtwo and masterclass.
(03:06):
Where we go whale watching thatclass is both online and in
person.
In Campobello.
Would love to have you join us.
A lot of people come to upgradeso that they can become a
professional member.
So if your classes, if yourcourses weren't with a licensed
teacher.
You'd like to become aprofessional member of the Reiki
(03:26):
Membership Association, the ICRTReiki Membership Association.
Those five days would do that.
And you can take just one andtwo or just master, and then the
following week, August 16th to20th.
And these are, saturday, Sundayfor the level one and two, and
then Monday to Wednesday for themaster classes, August 16th to
(03:50):
20th.
I have animal Reiki level oneand two and master.
So I would love to have you joinus for that.
As we get started today, just aswe began a little sparrow went
and landed right outside mywindow.
And one of the things I like todo is pull up the spirit
(04:12):
animals.
I've got my little spirit animalpocket guide to just let me know
when an animal shows up.
Like that.
And especially when they show upand just land really close so
that you'll see them.
There's usually a message behindit.
So I just like to take this as acollective message for all of us
tonight.
When the Sparrow shows up, itmeans this is a very productive
(04:36):
and prolific time.
Look for the nobility in themost common of things and
people, including yourself.
Walk with poise, your head heldup, eyes straight ahead, showing
the world your self-respect anddignity.
It might also mean that yourheart is opening more and more
(04:56):
to the love you receive, andyou're more readily expressing
love.
And it could also mean that yourenergy and vitality are
awakening and you'll findyourself whistling or singing
without even being aware of it.
So I want to thank that sweetlittle Sparrow for showing up
for us today.
(05:18):
And it's very fitting becausetoday we're going to be talking
about animal Reiki.
And this is something that evenif you are, even if you are not,
don't have an animal with you.
It's something that animal Reikiis really amazing for humans as
(05:40):
well.
That's something that we're allgoing to take some benefit from
today.
And if you do have an animalwith you, let's just talk about
that a little bit.
But first, before we do, let'sjust go ahead and activate our
Reiki and go into a little bitof an invocation.
So just bring your handstogether at your heart with your
(06:04):
thumbs in the prayer position orGassho, and go ahead and
activate any Reiki symbols thatyou have.
And if you have the animal Reikisymbol, be sure to include that.
And just take a moment now andreflect on the different animals
(06:28):
that have touched your life.
And some of them really standout, and yet they were all
important.
There's a theory.
(06:49):
Dr.
Temple Grandin expresses that itwas actually only when we began
to form bonds with dogs that ourown evolution shifted as dogs
took on some of our duties.
(07:09):
Then the frontal cortex of ourbrain, the neocortex was able to
develop.
We were able to let go of someof the.
More primitive, the need forstrong olfactory senses and so
on.
As the dogs took on those dutiesfor us, and with each animal
that we've formed an alliance orallegiance with, it has freed us
(07:33):
up to other things.
And when we consider the draftanimals that for our ancestors.
We traveled with and they plowedour lands and so on.
We've had a long associationwith animals, and yet it's
interesting that, for instance,there are more horses on the
(07:57):
world today than when they werethe primary mode of
transportation.
So a lot of our animals havemoved more into the companion
role.
That's just been so veryimportant in our own formation,
(08:18):
how we evolved as a person, as asoul.
So just taking a moment to sendReiki to all of those animal
companions and to invite them tojoin us to today.
Even animals that have aredeceased can receive Reiki.
(08:40):
So this is for all of our livingand deceased animal companions
from the beginning of our lives,the beginning of time.
We take a moment now to saythank you to them for the gifts
(09:01):
that they brought us.
And this is very reciprocal.
So each of them also say Thankyou to you because you made a
difference in their lives.
And in the end there isgratitude.
(09:22):
Thank you.
Amen.
So Reiki in animals aresomething that is as natural, as
peanut butter and jelly, but Iam a big fan of peanut butter
and jelly.
They go together.
When I first learned Reiki.
(09:45):
I became aware that I wassomething called an empath, and
I know we've talked about thatin different classes before.
So I was someone who not onlywas aware of, but also absorbed
some of the denser energies ofothers.
And there's a pretty good chanceif you're listening to this, and
if you're a Reiki practitioner,you might be an empath too, but.
(10:11):
I also had become aware thatanimals are even more sensitive
than most humans and thatthey're energetic beings.
And one of the things I noticedwas that my horses, I was I had
a horse business where I taughtpeople to work with.
(10:35):
Kind of gentler techniques withhorses and.
People would come sometimes in astate of high stress or anxiety,
and they would leave completelyzen.
And I loved witnessing it, but Ihad started to notice that some
(10:55):
of the stress was building up inthe body language of my horses.
And some of the horses wouldeven run away when some of the
more troubled students wouldshow up.
Or when any students showed upand I thought no, that's not
what I wanted to accomplish.
I wasn't really running my horsebusiness to make money.
(11:17):
I was running it because Ibelieve if you want to learn
something really well teach it.
And I was really interested inand delving into a new way.
At that time, back in, in 2009,2007, I guess I started my
business.
I was delving into a new way ofworking with horses and it was
(11:39):
called natural horsemanship.
And there were very different,all kinds of different
iterations of it and differentways of doing it.
And so I thought, one of theways I could learn this really
well is to teach it.
Plus, by starting a horsebusiness, I could buy more
horses and I could get moretack.
So it was a win-win for me.
But what wasn't win-win waswatching that stress in tension
(12:00):
build up in my horses.
So my Reiki teacher I had donesome business consulting for her
and she felt that I didn't feelshe owed me anything, but she
still felt that she did.
And she offered in exchange toattune my horses to Reiki, and I
had noticed how much Reiki hadhelped me.
(12:21):
So I said, absolutely, yes,whenever you're available,
please go ahead and do that.
So she did.
She attuned at first, only fourof the 11 horses that I had at
the time wanted Reiki.
So she attuned those four, butshe said, why don't we give it a
few weeks and see if the otherswant Reiki?
Once they understand more whatit is.
(12:41):
So I noticed a difference inthose four.
Immediately.
One of the four that did wantReiki was the one that was
running away when her studentsarrived.
And the tension and stress justwent completely out of her body.
And she started to enjoy thelessons again, which was lovely.
(13:02):
Then a few weeks later, she, myteacher came went and attuned
the rest of the horses to Reikiand.
We noticed pronounceddifferences, changes in their
personality.
Particularly I think of Lizziebecause she was so shy.
She was our youngest.
She was a baby and nobody eversaw her.
(13:24):
She was constantly hiding behindher mother and.
The next day after the Reikiattunement, she was at the fence
saying, hi, I am Lizzie.
Who are you?
And just her shyness comcompletely went away, which was
beautiful.
So from that moment on, I knewthat animals and Reiki really
(13:44):
went together.
But later on when I learned atthe master level.
That was one of the things Iwanted to learn was how to
attune animals and, how highwould you take an animal if you
attuned them?
And I was so grateful to have anopportunity after the cla, my
masterclass in England to talkwith William Rand.
(14:07):
And I thought he would saysomething like maybe you
shouldn't attune them, or maybeyou should only attune them to
level two, or something likethat.
But he didn't, he said.
Ask them if they want anattunement first.
Don't ever force an attunementon any animal and with a, by
attunement you, actuallyconnecting them with the energy
(14:28):
because most animals do enjoyreceiving a Reiki session.
But sometimes an animal, manytimes animals also enjoy getting
connected with the energythemselves and in attunement.
So that they can channel theenergy when they want to.
And so William's recommendationwas first, ask them if they want
(14:48):
one and honor whatever they,whatever you hear.
And he was aware that I couldcommunicate with animals.
And sometimes that's somethingthat opens naturally with people
as they learn Reiki.
And then also I have my animalcommunication class, which helps
people.
To understand it as well.
(15:10):
But he said, ask them if theywant an attunement, then ask
them what level they want to goto and work your way up to that
level.
And he said, I would take themall the way to master Pam if
that's what they want, what theyprefer.
So that was amazing.
I came home, I started, I all ofmy horses.
Not all of them wanted to go tomaster level, but all of them
(15:33):
were level one from my teacher.
And then many of them went tolevel two and then eventually
level three.
And then many did go on tomaster.
And when I learned Una Reikiabout half the herd.
Was interested in Una, half theherd wasn't.
And so about half the herd movedup into Una.
(15:54):
But then later on I learned holyfire.
And once I learned holy fire,they all wanted holy fire.
So they all went to the masterlevel.
Even the ones who had werestaying at level three with
that.
And as I began working with thehorses, as they.
Were able to channel Reiki notonly did some of their
(16:15):
personalities.
Shift.
And a lot of horses that maybehad some traumas or issues those
really lifted for them.
But I started noticing that inmy Reiki classes, they were
Reiki classes, but in my horseclasses, a lot of the horses
would use Reiki on theirstudents.
(16:36):
And I was seeing everybodyyawning and relaxing really
deeply.
It actually made for verybeautiful lessons.
I never asked the horses to.
That's one of the things that'svery important when an animal
has an attunement, that youdon't put any expectations on
them.
(16:56):
You just allow them to.
Use the Reiki however they wish,however they see fit.
Sometimes they'll use it on you.
My horses use it on me all thetime.
My horses decided that theywanted to use it on their
students.
And so quite often they do.
They don't seem to have to askpermission.
They seem to know whether theyhave it or not, and just
(17:18):
innately know.
And so that began my journeywith Reiki and animals and.
Combining that with animalcommunication just learned so
very much.
But one of the things I learnedwas just as in the same way as
my horses were taking on some ofthat stress and tension from
their students.
Many of our companion animalsshare our burdens and we also
(17:43):
share theirs.
It goes both ways.
Like sometimes we feel reallyguilty about that.
Oh no, I'm putting all myburdens on my animal.
But the animals are very clearthat I.
If they're in your life, they'rethere to, that's their purpose,
is to share your burdens.
And they're very clear that youare also sharing theirs, that
(18:05):
it's a reciprocal relationship.
It's not one way at all.
So that's a very beautifulthing.
And sometimes I've had studentsor clients say, please tell them
to stop sharing my burdens.
And to date, I've never beensuccessful with that.
The animal says, no, they're myperson.
Of course I'm gonna share theirburden.
(18:27):
What they've told me instead is,if you don't want us sharing
your burden, then look afteryourself better do your self
care and do your own Reiki andget.
Sessions or, do whatever youneed to do to stay healthy,
because I'm always going toshare your burden.
So eventually that you guys ledto animal Reiki and some of you
(18:51):
know that in a class in 2017, Ithink it was 2000.
Or 2016 maybe with William Rand.
I received a little tap on theshoulder'cause I'd written some
articles about this and people,I got some great feedback from
the articles.
And in that class I got a littletap on the shoulder that said
(19:14):
you're to create a course.
Called Animal Reiki, and I said,it is funny because usually when
I receive guidance, I argueagainst it a little bit.
And I whinge and complain and Iexplain why I shouldn't have to
do that or don't wanna do that,or whatever.
And I think maybe for the firsttime ever when the energy said
(19:36):
you are to create animal Reiki,I just said, yes, absolutely.
Without one has, without anyhesitation whatsoever.
And, and then I found out laterin the class, in that same class
was when I got a tap on theshoulder to become a licensed
teacher as well.
But I found out later in thatclass that Colleen Benelli was.
(19:58):
Also, or was already working onanimal Reiki for the ICRT.
So I got in touch with Colleenand indeed she was open to
receiving help, but they hadbeen working on it and working
on it, and the energy keptsaying it wasn't ready.
So it wasn't until Holy Firethree showed up in 2018 that the
(20:20):
enter, and that was exactly atthe same time that I was
accepted into the licensedteacher program.
That the energy said it wasfinally ready.
And so together with Colleen,myself, Sue Strong and Robin
Bonelli, the four of us gottogether.
We met in Portland, Oregon forfour days and just worked 12
(20:44):
hour days, four days straightand.
Maybe even longer and justlistened.
And we listened and listened tothe energy.
And what eventually came was theanimal Reiki horse.
And in fact, that listeningprocess, I was explaining to you
that my colleague Tracy Sullivanand I have created a healthcare
(21:07):
Reiki course.
And that process of listening tothe energy for what it wanted,
what it needed, what was tryingto come through, that really
served us well because we wereable to do the same process with
healthcare Reiki, which wasquite.
Quite lovely.
So many people have used Reiki.
(21:31):
The Reiki that you have, theYasui Reiki or whatever type of
Reiki that you have withanimals, and there's nothing
wrong with that.
That's what the four of us,Colleen, Robin, Sue and I,
that's what we did for over adecade.
Was use the we had a YasuiTibetan lineage of Reiki and
that, and then the Yasui HolyFire lineage.
(21:52):
Those were the lineages of Reikithat we used with animals, and
most animals were receptive toit.
Most animals enjoyed getting asession.
Many animals, if it were open toreceiving an attunement, if that
was more appropriate for theanimal.
Or more helpful.
And so over the course of thedecade that I worked with the
(22:18):
energy, I guess we started.
Working on animal Reiki inJanuary of 2019.
So it was about a decade ofworking and then nine, eight or
nine years of attuning animals,I had the opportunity to attune
hundreds, maybe even a thousandor more animals, and get to see
(22:40):
what that did.
It was so beneficial for, forall of them actually.
And then I got an opportunity tosee what it was like to receive
Reiki from animals to also doReiki sessions.
So I worked professionally withit and as an animal communicator
to, to get additionalinformation for quite some time.
(23:00):
And when we had, when we startedlistening, we thought we were
just going to be teaching peoplehow to use the energy they
already have.
With animals, and that's notwhat happened at all.
In fact, it what we receivedwent so far beyond what we
thought we were doing it.
(23:21):
The animal Reiki showed us thatit had its own energy and it's
very soft, but very strong atthe same time, like very
powerful but softer.
Than the yasui energy, which wasinteresting because probably
about 10% of the animals that weworked with Yasui Reiki, we all
(23:42):
noticed it.
About 10% were not reallyinterested in it, like it was
maybe a little too intense forthem, and we noticed that made a
really big difference.
The animal Reiki was not asintense, and so it worked out
really well.
So its own energy, and there wasa really powerful message that
(24:07):
came through with animal Reikithat I'd like to share with you.
And it, it just, I don't know itjust really shifted something in
me.
The animals told us, if we couldonly teach you to love
yourselves.
(24:28):
As much as we love you, that'sthe one thing we think you're
beautiful and we would like, wejust wish you would see that
too, that you're incredible,magnificent.
And when you learn to seeyourself through an animal's
eyes, it's incredible actually.
(24:48):
They see the light within us.
They see the beauty, they seethe magnificence.
They don't see all of the thingsthat we think that are wrong
with us.
Those are just illusions anyway.
They can see through theillusions, they can see to how
beautiful and brilliant each andevery individual on the planet
is.
(25:09):
And that was the one thing thatthey wanted for us is for us to
see our beauty and a messagethat Colleen had with the earth.
A little bit bef prior to theclass was that the earth had
said.
You're beautiful.
Colleen had asked one day, whatmust you think of us?
(25:32):
And the earth told her, you'rebeautiful.
And if only you would realizethat if only you could see your
beauty, you would create yourlife from a place of beauty.
But when you believe yourselvesto be destructive, you then
create your life from that.
So the animals have asked us toshift our perspective and stop
(25:52):
focusing on what's wrong or whatwe don't like.
And start focusing on what'sbeautiful and brilliant and
magnificent.
And I found personally that I.
It's just, it's brought backchildlike wonder for me, like I
just, I look around the earthall the time and just, you can
(26:17):
see the beauty now in everyoneand everything.
And that is another one of thegifts of.
This animal Reiki, and I'mtelling you a bit about it'cause
this is the energy I'm going touse tonight and you can use your
own Reiki, but I am going and ifyou have animal Reiki use that.
But if you don't, I'll besending you some so that you can
get a sense of what thisfrequency is.
(26:40):
And another thing that theanimal Reiki really did for us
is it healed the belief ofdominion over.
So there's a belief in not justChristian.
Society, but in many differenttraditions.
In Christian, it goes along,it's in the book of Genesis
where we, there's a, anunderstanding that of dominion
(27:04):
over the earth, but it, thatsame dominion over belief exists
in many different religious andspiritual traditions except
maybe Buddhism and.
What that, what the animal Reikienergy showed us is that we
misunderstood what dominionmeant.
(27:27):
Dominion didn't mean, over, itmeant in communion with, there
may have been a mistranslationor a misunderstanding at some
point in history, and we wereshown that it was meant to be
not dominion over the earth, butcommunion with the earth.
And the animals of the earth.
(27:48):
And one of the things that mostof us noticed with animal Reiki
is that as we went through thehealing exercises and the
placements in the class any, Idon't know about you guys but.
Many people, many sensitivepeople feel a little bit like we
(28:11):
don't belong on the planet.
Like maybe, there's somethingjust a bit different about us or
whatever.
And I.
The animal, like when that ishealed, that dominion over
belief is healed, you just getthis really deep sense of
belonging on the earth.
So these are some of theenergies that I'd like to use
(28:34):
today.
And just to give you an ideaabout your animals and how they
may receive the energy, some ofthem may, many of them will get
very dozy and sleep, but someactually have the opposite and
they get a little bit hyper inthe energy.
Most animals are really happy toreceive the energy.
(28:56):
They don't necessarily need tostay in the energy as long as we
do.
So sometimes about partwaythrough, they get up and they
shake and they yawn and theystretch, or they do one of, some
combination of those things.
And then they might just, tootleoff and do their own thing or
they might then get hyper.
So they tend not to take, theytend not to take quite as long
(29:19):
and yeah and most of them arevery open to this.
So this can be a reallybeautiful thing for you to
experience with your animal.
You may have some burdens thatthey're sharing that can lift,
they may have some burdens thatyou are sharing that can lift
and.
What you'll notice is foranimals, this is gonna support
(29:40):
their physical healing.
It can reduce anxiety, it canstrengthen trust and connection
with human companions.
And I've noticed I mentionedjust before we started that my
daughter just adopted a littledog yesterday from Texas and
yesterday he was pretty.
(30:02):
Afraid of all his surroundingsand pretty much everything.
And I asked my daughter,yesterday he wasn't interested
in receiving Reiki and you neveractually send, you never
actually do Reiki for an animalwithout having permission from
the animal itself as well as thecaregiver.
(30:22):
And so I didn't ask, but today Ijust checked in and I heard that
he was interested in receiving.
So I reached out to my daughter.
She said, yeah absolutely.
Mom, go ahead.
And I can't believe thedifference in that dog in a day.
He's, she sent a video over, shesaid, yeah, nevermind.
Laying around sleeping and beingscared of everything he's
(30:44):
playing.
Now we notice that it just comesalong so much.
More efficiently or quicker withwith Reiki in the mix with
humans.
This energy is gonna give you achance to deepen your bond with
your animal.
May, it might help develop yourintuition a little bit more.
(31:06):
And move us more in alignmentwith an the way animals
experience things.
And you're also going toprobably notice peace and
relaxation and healing.
So there's a lot of examples ofhow this energy has helped.
I know I had a, a dog once, hewas only a year old, but he was
a Rottweiler and coming onto ayear, I think he was 10 months
(31:28):
old and he was starting to showsigns of aggression in shows.
He was a show dog.
With only with male handlersand, but it was.
It was enough that it could beserious with a dog that large.
We wound up doing attunement forthat dog, and that went
completely away.
It doesn't always work.
(31:50):
But in that instance, it did, itwent co completely away from the
moment that he had hisattunement.
And he just lived a happy,healthy life and was just a, oh,
just a delightful dog.
And, I.
I went several years withoutseeing that dog.
He's passed on now, but I wentseveral years, like maybe six
(32:12):
years, seven years withoutseeing him.
And then as he was older, anolder dog might've even been
more than that.
It might've been more like eightor nine years.
And then I saw him again and heknew who I was immediately and
brought me his favorite toys.
It was just.
Just amazing and delightful.
There's just so many examples ofhow this energy has helped both
(32:36):
the animals and their humancompanions, what are some of the
things, whether you have animalReiki or not?
Here's a couple of things thatyou can do to practice Reiki
with your animals.
The first thing is just invitethem into a space that you've
filled with Reiki, and thenallow it to be their choice.
(32:58):
Let them come and go.
If they wish, and you'll findthat some animals are what we
call Reiki sponges or Reiki hogslike cats and horses.
Sometimes you have to say okay,that's it.
I can't, an hour's gone by ortwo hours have gone by.
I had one cat, I had two dogs.
One cat that would just laythere and want Reiki for hours
(33:21):
on end.
And sometimes that happens.
And then you've got otheranimals who prefer to be able to
move in and out of the energy asthey wish.
And what's important is that youdon't need to have your hands on
an animal to do Reiki with them.
In fact, I've noticed that manyanimals really prefer a
hands-off style of Reiki.
(33:43):
They prefer if you just activateReiki, say around you and in
your field.
If they can come and go.
So we don't ever have to beamReiki at an animal or chase them
down.
It's really important that werespect whether they wish to
receive it or not.
And we just offer it and allowthem to choose.
(34:04):
So there's a few things you cando.
It's easier for most animals tobe in their own environment.
To receive a session rather thango to a strange place.
And if an animal is morecomfortable in a herd, for
instance, or a pack then you cando Reiki on an individual
(34:24):
animal.
While it's still out in thefield in the pack, you can just
imagine the Reiki going besidethem and allowing them to step
into it if they wish to, oryeah, you can use the distance
symbol.
You can also send Reiki withyour eyes using gii hoe Don't
forget, and animals really liketo receive Reiki with the breath
(34:47):
Coqui hoe as well.
What is important in an animalReiki session is that you always
keep yourself safe.
So if you're working with alarger animal, stay outside the
stall or outside the fence.
If you're working with an animalthat's safer to be muzzled, keep
them muzzled.
And you have to keep your eyesopen.
(35:11):
Just to make, just to observeand keep everyone safe.
You may wish to play music, butyou don't have to.
If you do play music, just keepin mind that, many animals have
a better sense of hearing thanwe do.
Yeah.
And many animals are just opento receiving.
(35:34):
So with that in mind, I'm justgoing to welcome you to this
shared experience for you andyour animal Reiki companion.
This is something a littledifferent than what you'll find
in the manual.
It's something I decided tocreate for our session tonight.
And so whether your animal'swith you physically or is
(35:58):
present in spirit.
This meditation will work forall of you, everyone.
And if you may have an awful lotof animals, that's okay.
Reiki is limitless so I'm justgonna invite you to just make
yourselves really comfortableand if you're with you, just
allow them to get comfortableand relaxed.
(36:20):
And if you're in a safe space,go ahead and close your eyes.
Taking a deep breath in and justletting it out and just focusing
on your breath and take a fewbreaths this way.
(36:47):
Go ahead and place your handsover your heart.
With every inhale tonight, justfeel yourself connecting with
the earth.
Just aware of its steady,nurturing energy, remembering
(37:14):
that our bodies are made of theearth to give our spirit.
Life and breath.
And on every inhale, I justinvite you to pull the energy of
Reiki into your body on yourbreath.
And with every exhale, I inviteyou to release any tension or
(37:35):
stress or worry.
And I'm particularly beingguided tonight to mention the
energy and the collectiveconsciousness.
And the importance of justreleasing anything you've picked
up that's not your own.
And we're just gonna breathehere together for a dozen
(37:56):
breaths or more.
And as we do, we just releaseall empath energy and all
energies that are not ours.
As well as any tension orstress.
(40:13):
I'm just noticing the slightlydifferent frequency as animal
Reiki moves into the mix andsurrounds you.
You might imagine or visualizethe animal Reiki energy as a
(40:36):
beautiful golden light thatsurrounds both you and your
animal companions.
Just notice how peaceful andsafe the energy feels.
The space feels the energy is inyour shared Reiki field and it
(41:01):
fills it with love and healing.
And as it does this, I inviteyou to bring your awareness to
your heart.
Just imagining the Reiki energyand the animal Reiki energy
flowing into your heart, fillingyou with peace and calm, warmth,
(41:33):
and as this fills your heartspace, just imagine it then
expanding outward.
Creating this beautiful, gentleconnection of light of Reiki
between you and your animalcompanion.
(42:05):
And as Reiki continues to flow,I invite you to repeat this.
To yourself on behalf of you andyour animal.
We are safe, we are loved.
We are whole and twice more.
(42:28):
We are safe.
We are loved.
We are whole.
We are safe, we are loved, weare whole, and we're gonna
(42:49):
remain here for a few momentstogether.
(44:02):
If there are any pieces of yourenergy that have become
scattered, they concentratearound you.
Now moving through the filter ofReiki energy, they're cleansed
and they move back into you backwhere they belong.
(44:26):
I.
And we'll give that process abit of time to take place.
(46:25):
Take a moment to.
Focus on your animal companion,whether they're with you in
their physical nature, or focuson their energy.
If they're with you in spiritform, just imagine the Reiki
(46:50):
energy flowing.
Toward them and just invitingtheir acceptance.
You don't need to direct orcontrol the energy.
Just trust that your animal,whether they're in physical or
spirit form, knows how muchReiki they need and where it
(47:14):
should flow.
And as the Reiki energy beginsto flow.
It's already been flowing, butit begins to flow with more
intensity to your animalcompanion.
Just feel the connectionsdeepening between you a shared
(47:36):
bond of love and peace, andwe're just going to stay here
for several moments together.
(48:26):
And now both you and your animalare receiving Reiki and animal
Reiki, the divine energy of theheavens and of the earth.
Just notice the energy flowinginto both of you equally.
I.
Or however many animals youhave, just nurturing and
(48:50):
balancing your shared space.
And as you become aware of this,I invite you to feel gratitude
for this moment of healing andconnection, knowing that Reiki
(49:11):
supports you and your animals.
Imperfect harmony.
I.
(52:43):
I am just feeling into thatdeepening connection before you
bring your awareness to youreyes back into the room.
Take a deep breath and comeback.
And when you're ready, you canopen your eyes.
(53:07):
You can observe your animalcompanion silently.
Thank them for sharing thisexperience with you, and just
take a moment to thank Reiki, tothank yourself for.
(53:27):
Taking this time of healing, andI invite you to carry the peace
and love of this session withyou into the rest of your week,
hoping that you have a beautifulweek and that your animals do
too.
(53:51):
I invite you to continue sharingReiki with your animals whenever
you can and whenever it feelsright to you.
I'd like to thank each and everyone of you for being with us
today, and I.
(54:14):
I hope that you have a beautifulweek.
Thank you for being thebeautiful light that you are in
the world.
Namaste.
