😻 From suffering & restless = to calm and rested
Here Gucci’s story
My colleague at work was beside herself when she was told by the vet that her cat was so sick that there was nothing they could do for him.
Hearing her upset, I was keen to find a way to console her. Then I remembered that reiki can help someone transition peacefully. So, I thought even if reiki cannot heal him, it might make his passing peaceful. So, before I knew it Gucci the cat was scheduled for a reiki session that evening. I just did the session the exact same way I would a human. I didn’t just do the healing, I got, what I describe as a full body scan (I get this in all my sessions). So I scribbled it all down and fed back all the details to Gucci’s mommy. Here is what she said:-
I've had my cat Gucci for 13 years. We grew up together, so when the vet told me he won't live very much longer, my heart sank. I LITERALLY felt my whole world shatter. A week went by with this news, I refused to accept it and then I couldn't even look at him because reality started setting in everytime I looked at him. For a while now Gucci has been limping, and he got sick here and there as he is an older cat but this time was different. He was weak, the weakest I've ever seen him, he wasn't sleeping well, he was throwing up a lot and the vet said it's because his overweight and he won't live very much longer because this will start affecting all of his other organs.
I was basically mourning him already and it got so bad to the point where it started affecting my work, health, and everyday life.
Then I spoke to Natalie, I couldn't stop crying on the phone. We agreed to do a Reiki healing session for Gucci.
At the time of the session Gucci was just being his regular self, but by the end of session, he was so calm. The calmest his ever been since the trip to the vet.
And Natalie told me so many things about Gucci that finally made sense - like Gucci has never took to my emotions, everytime I'd cry, he'd move away and I always wondered why - and Natalie finally made it all make sense by telling me that his a bit of an autistic cat (he struggles to know how to process my emotions). She also picked up that his belly is inflamed as well as his joints which explains why he limps - we did notice swelling on his two front legs for a while now. It also explains why his been throwing up (his inflamed belly). Natalie also told me that his swallowing has been affected and his throat is dry which explains why his been drinking so much more water recently, so much so that we actually now have bowls of water around the house so it's easier for him to drink at night.
She also picked up that his zest for life has diminished.
But the next day (after the healing session) he was himself again, I could see relief in him, in his eyes. He wasn't looking so gloomy/sad anymore. He slept through the night (the night of his session) usually he wakes up 3/4 times throughout the night.
This session not only helped Gucci, but me as well. I can honestly say that I felt like a mad person. I felt like I was going insane because I kept thinking about my life without him - I also felt that he was overweight because of me, but Natalie grounded me and helped me to get my head straight so that I can focus on him and take care of him while he is still here.
I'm so grateful for Natalie. If it wasn't for her, I don't think I would have not gotten my head in the right space again. And Gucci, he wouldn't have gotten the relief he did.
Now I feel so much at peace knowing what I know about him and knowing that he has some relief thanks to Natalie. Gucci is going to have another session with Natalie soon and that makes me even more happy because I know he will get even more relief.
