My Journey , So Far                                                                                                           

by Chris, Reiki II

It’s hard to believe that JoAnn and I met over seven years ago, when our children started Kindergarten together.  I knew from the start that she was someone I wanted to get to know better.  One day, in passing, she mentioned her Reiki work, and I heard her passion, listened politely, and went about my business.  I didn't know it, but a seed was planted.

 

 

 


Years later, we began talking again about her Reiki work, and my interest kindled.  I was attuned in October, 2004 for Reiki I, and felt an immediate shift.  Besides my “blowtorch” hands, the biggest change I noticed was that I was now followed, almost stalked, by animals of all sorts.  I started seeing the same one-legged bird near the local supermarket.  Undisturbed sleep became a thing of the past, as every night my cats would find new ways to intertwine themselves with me.  My neighbor’s 75-pound, three-legged dog wanted to be my lap dog.  I quickly realized that this was my calling – to work with animals, to help and heal that which they could not verbalize. 

 

 

 

I had my Reiki II attunement in May, 2005, and my Master attunement on April 15, 2008.  In that time, I have continued to read, learn, practice, and experience spiritual growth that, in the past, I never thought I needed to or could achieve.    Animals and their people continue to seek me out, and I continue to offer them whatever gifts I can.  Why else are we here, if not to make each other laugh, share love, and help the voiceless?

Lots of people talk to animals.... Not very many listen, though.... That's the problem.
