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. |

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.
