“those who are truly powerful do not harm themselves or others; instead, they use their energy to enrich all they know with love."

(yung pueblo)

Isn’t that exactly what our animal companions do for us, again and again? They are the best teachers in helping us remember to live in the moment and to step into the flow of love & gratitude.

This is my pal, Clark, who always reminds me to pause and soak it all in. His ability to be in the present moment helps me to slow down and be present, too. In the middle of farm chores this past summer, we took a necessary break to just be, feel the cool waters of the creek, take in some whiffs and let the sun warm our faces. Thanks, Clarkie!

🐾How do your animal friends help you slow down?

Animals are the best meditation teachers! They continually show us the freedoom found in letting go and simply being present. This is a key foundation honored in the Let Animals Lead Method of Animal Reiki. The more time we spend with animals, the more are able to see their radiance and honor their experiences.

What a gift to have Zoe Sensei join me for my morning practice. I opened my eyes and there she was, sitting perfectly still, paws tucked on her meditation pillow. When we created energy of peace and openness, we can become much more attractive to our animals friends. Zoe was very intent on soaking up all the goodness! ☺️💛🐾

When you study the Let Animals Lead® Method of Animal Reiki, you welcome vibrant practices into your daily life that will enrich your spiritual walk with animals in the most peaceful ways.

The LAL® Method is based on traditional Japanese meditation practices. Each is adapted to support the unique soul journey of people & animals by stepping into a space that is beyond words. In this space, he the language is one of compassion, connection and oneness.

Through the different levels of Reiki study, practitioners explore:

• The Five Reiki Precepts
• Breathing Techniques
• Mantras, Symbols & Chanting
• Sharing Reiki with other beings
• Reiki Blessings

And then...we let it all go of all practice and fall right into the Reiki Space of Oneness! Ahh! Freedom!

🎧Maya is totally vibing out to the latest episode of the Animal Reiki Talk Podcast: How to Know When Your Animal is Asking for Reiki. I’d say it is Pup-Approved! 🐾

The first 20 minutes offer helpful insights into cultivating mindful presence to tune into what animals are seeking. Next, participants ask really great questions and the session concludes with a lovely short meditation. Give it a listen!

Animals are so genuine in their presence. That is one of the many reasons they are such beautiful teachers when we explore the precept, “Just for today, I will be humble.” �
Being humble takes pressure of our human need for always knowing the answers. Humility invites us to step back and be open to what they have to share.

This week, when you spend time with the animals in your life, reflect on what message or reminders they share with you.

Nebbie, my dear companion for almost 14 years, reminds me again and again of what it means to be steadfast.

She is grounded, consistent and always herself. Isn’t that the same energy I want to bring to my own life & relationships?

What lessons do your companions share with you?

I am very happy to share that I will be facilitating a Level One Course in the Let Animals Lead® Method of Reiki this summer with my co-teachers, the wonderful herd of horses, at Finding Hearts Farm!

Horses are excellent teachers in mindful presence. We will gather in the sunshine to learn and practice the beginning teachings of the Let Animals Lead® method of Reiki created by Kathleen Prasad. Techniques are based in traditional Japanese Reiki Meditation and modified to nurture & support ourselves and the awesome animals in our lives on our unique soul journeys.

If you love animals or are an animal care-taker of any kind, this is an amazing opportunity to deepen your experiences with animals. Join us!

🌅 Good Morning from Knucklehead Creek!

I snapped this photo after I sang my morning Reiki song with Nebbie this morning.

A Reiki song? Yes! Well, part of practicing traditional Reiki meditation is reciting the five precepts each day. I usually do this at the barn. I have learned how to chant the precepts in Japanese, more on that later, and turned them into a little song that feels oh, so right in my body.

So, through my meditation, a quiet space was created and Nebbie stepped right in, soaking up the song and requesting that we stay a little longer. Through mindful presence, we tuned in to the moment together. Animals live in the energetic space, and it is so sweet when we can gently meet them there.

The Five Reiki Precepts, or, Gokai, are a pathway to living with compassion. In traditional practice, they are recited daily as part of our commitment to living our authentic purpose by quieting the noise and emotions from the outside so we can listen to the wisdom of our heart.

📝 Reflection Question: Which precept is calling for your attention today?

In the picture you see Sweet Basil Brown, February 2021 looking absolutely lovely in the snow. Part of my practice is to recite the precepts at the barn during morning chores allowing me to embrace the present conditions - rain, snow or sun! Today, we find ourselves in a similar circumstance as 2021 - still snowy, still cold, but always grateful!

🐾 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙠𝙞 𝘿𝙖𝙮! 🐾

On this day, all are welcome to remember, honor, give thanks and pray for all animals past, present and future.

Today was extra special for my family. After five months of care, we formally adopted our sweet foster dog, Coby. We have loved him since day one.

But what does this have to do with Animal Reiki?
Well, because of my own Let Animals Lead studies and the beautiful community it creates, I was encouraged to start volunteering at the local Humane Society to walk dogs. If I hadn’t done that, I never would have met this little critter, my husband wouldn’t have said, “oh heck, bring him home so he isn’t struggling at the shelter” and we wouldn’t have truly seen how our Lex sent him to us from the stars. Last night, my husband said, “let’s adopt him tomorrow and make it official.”

My response: “Oh my gosh tomorrow is World Animal Reiki Day! This is a perfect way to celebrate everything!”

Animal Reiki opens doorways, windows and gates we could not have imagined. It is such a beautiful journey and makes it so easy to be grateful for each day and ever day we are blessed to walk alongside animals.

Welcome home Coby-Dough! We love ya!
