The system of Reiki is a spiritual practice that invites people and animals to 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩 body & mind, 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 obstacles, 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙧 what needs mending, 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 authentic purpose and oneness and 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣 to daily life with mindful presence.

💜Close your eyes. Place one hand on your hara (low belly) and one one your heart. Take three slow breaths. Feel the breath of life fill your body and release it back into the universe. 💜

Small moments connecting our breath, our thought and our body gently bring us back to center, one breath at a time. "Just for today" really is as simple as one inhale and one exhale at a time.

The Five Precepts help our mind to contemplate what the heart already knows to be true.

Our heart, our soul, our intuition, is not angry or scattered with worry. Our true heart is grateful and compassionate. We practice honesty (even when it is hard) to stay in alignment with these truths and live from the wellspring of this energy. This energy is peaceful, grounded and clear. Reiki meditation is one pathway into this space of love, authenticity and light.

💜Last weekend we welcomed a new practitioner into the Let Animals Lead®️Method of Animal Reiki community! I wish I was able to snap better photographs but was trying very hard to to step into their space. It was also great to have my very own teachers, Nebbie & Sweet Basil Brown, lead the session and show us what it is to move in and out of the space based on their own needs. Welcome, Jane! 💜

Long blinks, licking, chewing, yawns, walking, pawing, droopy head and snorts are all ways energy moves out and makes room for relaxation with horses.

My friend and I were just chatting about how sometimes a teacher/life keeps repeating a lesson until you obtain the objective.

Well, at first glance, after my dear teacher intentionally knocked over the very full wheelbarrow, I thought maybe she was telling me it was time to deal with my own mental “muck” or maybe something even more profound.

However, after more reflection, it occurred to me that she knocked it over because I was taking too long retrieving her morning cookies that are kept in the door behind the wheelbarrow. The message: Prioritize our mutual love of sweets and stop worrying so much about manure. It will turn to soil eventually, anyway.

Even when dealing with piles of muck, we humans find a way to complicate things. Sometimes, it really is just about seeking joy in something as simple as a morning cookie. ☺️

💜Horses don't need to work as hard as we do to dwell in the present moment - that is their normal zip code. 💜

Reflection Questions: What will I do today to give myself permission to set down worries & anger to open myself to the present moment with love & gratitude?

How can will I embrace presence like a gentle & wise horse rather than a frantic human?
