Three Pet Sessions: Three Very Different Results

Part 1

As I’ve said over and over again: I don’t cure, or heal, any ONE of any THING and Reiki always works only toward the highest healing good of an individual, animal or situation.

Since I’ve been speaking about animals I thought I’d give a few examples from the many animals I’ve worked with where there have been very different outcomes.

One of the first animals I worked on was a dog who did not like to have her belly rubbed by anyone other than her owner.

One day the owner was telling me about a recent visit to the vet. The dog seemed to be in pain and was not eating. She was drinking water but was not eating anything. The vet, having done quite a few tests, said there was nothing they could find that was giving this 13 year old golden/lab mix a problem. He felt it was just old age, the dog was considered geriatric at this point, and there was nothing they could do for the animal. I suggested a new vet since this vet seemed to be taking a very apathetic approach. After all, the owner said the dog was in pain and would not allow anyone to touch her. She asked for a Reiki treatment and I scheduled one immediately.

I went to her house and saw the dog lying in her doggie bed, obviously lethargic and in discomfort. She was in no way interested in having anyone approach her. I began to administer Reiki at a distance so she could acclimate to the energy. After approximately 5 minutes of her staring at me and feeling the Reiki energy coming toward her, she began to move her front paw as though calling me over. I approached her very slowly and gently put my hands on her back and head. She allowed that for quite a while. Then I slowly moved my hands to her neck and side. That too was allowed. She then lifted her paw and pushed my hands onto her belly. I administered Reiki for approximately 20 minutes at which time she barked and pushed my hands away. I went back the next day and the same thing happened. After that, on my following visits, she allowed me to put my hands on her belly and administer Reiki for the duration of the session.

Animals know where they are hurting and they will guide the hands of the practitioner to the area of pain. Because they have no preconceived notions about Reiki and only know it feels good, they accept it readily and easily.
This dog got better each day. After 6 treatments, she began to push my hands away after shorter amounts of time within each treatment. She wasn’t accepting full treatments because she didn’t need them. One day, she just looked at me, got up and walked away. She was done. She was letting me know she no longer required my services. She lived another 7 years and on the rare occasions I saw her, yes, I too, along with her owner, was allowed to give her belly pets.
