Hi, Marina,

Allie is lucky to have found AID and I’m blessed to work with them and offer Reiki to their animals and their caretakers. One of the wonderful things about Reiki is that the practitioner receives healing, too.

Namaste,

John

Hi, Taruni,

Yes, I’m learning to trust those impulses I get while offering Reiki. I don’t “hear” anything from the animals yet, but I’ve found that the impulses are communications from them. It’s important to be open to them, act on them and observe the animal’s responses. They will always tell you in some way what they want.

Namaste,

John

Dear John,

What a wonderful story about Allie – she may be vision and physically impaired, but she communicated with you and was very clear! Thank you for your respect and sensitivity to Allie and all the other animals you work with at AID. And thank you for sharing your story – it inspires others to offer compassion, love and Reiki whatever way we can, wherever we can.

Blessings,

Kris (Taruni)

Hi Louise,
I have known Marilyn Lofgren at PROUD for many years and have gotten all my dogs from her. I told her what I had planned and she was totally open to the idea even though she didn’t know really what I was talking about!lol!! I tried to explain it to her but I don’t think she got it right away. Now I do treatments for her as well as the dogs and it sold itself. I would be happy to talk with you about it or meet with you and you could go out with me. It’s very informal, but would give you an idea of where to start. Healing is needed all over and we can’t have too may practitioners.
I will send you my home number in Fresno via your e-mail.

Hi, Sylvia,

I can understand your concern. It’s important to detach emotionally from the outcome when offering Reiki, although that’s often easier said than done! It helps to remember that Reiki always heals on some level, even if the physical body is not “cured”.

Our task is to channel the Reiki energy as best we can. What they do with it is up to the recipient. We have no way to know their path nor their relationship with the universe so we simply offer Reiki and do our best to accept that whatever happens is for their highest good.

Allowing Reiki to guide you is the best thing you can do. Be open to the guidance and do your best to “be Reiki”.

Namaste,

John
