💛 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐢𝐤𝐢 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐇𝐨𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫!💛
I am very happy to share that I will be facilitating a Level One Course in the Let Animals Lead® Method of Reiki this summer with my co-teachers, the wonderful herd of horses, at Finding Hearts Farm!

Horses are excellent teachers in mindful presence. We will gather in the sunshine to learn and practice the beginning teachings of the Let Animals Lead® method of Reiki created by Kathleen Prasad. Techniques are based in traditional Japanese Reiki Meditation and modified to nurture & support ourselves and the awesome animals in our lives on our unique soul journeys.

If you love animals or are an animal care-taker of any kind, this is an amazing opportunity to deepen your experiences with animals. Join us!

🌅 Good Morning from Knucklehead Creek!

I snapped this photo after I sang my morning Reiki song with Nebbie this morning.

A Reiki song? Yes! Well, part of practicing traditional Reiki meditation is reciting the five precepts each day. I usually do this at the barn. I have learned how to chant the precepts in Japanese, more on that later, and turned them into a little song that feels oh, so right in my body.

So, through my meditation, a quiet space was created and Nebbie stepped right in, soaking up the song and requesting that we stay a little longer. Through mindful presence, we tuned in to the moment together. Animals live in the energetic space, and it is so sweet when we can gently meet them there.

𝐏𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐬 & 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐬

The Five Reiki Precepts, or, Gokai, are a pathway to living with compassion. In traditional practice, they are recited daily as part of our commitment to living our authentic purpose by quieting the noise and emotions from the outside so we can listen to the wisdom of our heart.

📝 Reflection Question: Which precept is calling for your attention today?

𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘥𝘢𝘺,
𝘈𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘰𝘵.
𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵.

In the picture you see Sweet Basil Brown, February 2021 looking absolutely lovely in the snow. Part of my practice is to recite the precepts at the barn during morning chores allowing me to embrace the present conditions - rain, snow or sun! Today, we find ourselves in a similar circumstance as 2021 - still snowy, still cold, but always grateful!

🐾 𝙏𝙤𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙒𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝘼𝙣𝙞𝙢𝙖𝙡 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙠𝙞 𝘿𝙖𝙮! 🐾

On this day, all are welcome to remember, honor, give thanks and pray for all animals past, present and future.

Today was extra special for my family. After five months of care, we formally adopted our sweet foster dog, Coby. We have loved him since day one.

But what does this have to do with Animal Reiki?
Well, because of my own Let Animals Lead studies and the beautiful community it creates, I was encouraged to start volunteering at the local Humane Society to walk dogs. If I hadn’t done that, I never would have met this little critter, my husband wouldn’t have said, “oh heck, bring him home so he isn’t struggling at the shelter” and we wouldn’t have truly seen how our Lex sent him to us from the stars. Last night, my husband said, “let’s adopt him tomorrow and make it official.”

My response: “Oh my gosh tomorrow is World Animal Reiki Day! This is a perfect way to celebrate everything!”

Animal Reiki opens doorways, windows and gates we could not have imagined. It is such a beautiful journey and makes it so easy to be grateful for each day and ever day we are blessed to walk alongside animals.

Welcome home Coby-Dough! We love ya!

Morning Gratitude: Naked Ponies!

Finally we will have temps reaching almost 30° which means sun in our hair and probably some good rolls in snow to get the blanket itchies off! Phew!

Instead of rushing through chores, I work hard to create space to be with no agenda while I’m at the barn.

The habit of creating space to be allows us to feel the big joy found in little things.

☕ Hello All and welcome to February! Brrr!

If you are interested in learning a little bit about Reiki meditation each month, you might enjoy reading my monthly newsletter at 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙠𝙞 𝙎𝙚𝙡𝙛-𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝘾𝙖𝙛𝙚 on Substack. I like this platform because it makes it very easy to share ideas, in a different way than here on Facebook. This space is a cozy nook for people interested in Reiki meditation for self-care to stop by for some nourishment and inspiration, similar to the way we go to a coffee shop to rest, think or chat while enjoying a good cup of something and a snack. You don't need any experience with Reiki meditation to stop by!

Each month, I explore a traditional Reiki concept and include a simple meditation to try out. If you subscribe, you will receive this newsletter right to your inbox, or you can just visit when you need a Reiki pick-me-up.

See you at the Café!

✍️ We have come to the end of a very long January. Here are three questions to ponder or write about in your journal as this cold winter month draws to a close.

For inspiration to guide your reflection, you may find the January Meditation titled "Freeze, Thaw, Flow" from The Reiki Self-Care Cafe helpful.

💡Sometimes your just need to sit on hay bales in the shed on a 12° night to collect your thoughts and rest for a minute because your body tells you to stop. It’s been a challenging week on many levels. But, what made me smile and recharged my spirit was noticing that light always finds a way to shine, even when it’s a big barn flood light on an absolutely freezing night.

In Reiki practice, sometimes we are the ones who shine. Sometimes, it’s others, helping us to remember our own path. The important thing is to always keep an eye out for the radiance and if you can’t find it, maybe it is you!

🌱 Mindfulness Practice Tip 🌱

Try bundling a short meditation with a routine task or moment in your day. For example, every morning after I have mucked & distributed hay and grain, I most always hang out in the stall to practice hara breathing, contemplate the five precepts and have a quiet moment of gratitude for all the animals that share home with us. Some days, my head is a mess, other days, it’s very peaceful. Both are awesome because with diligence, these small moments add up to help cultivate a vibrant practice and balanced energy.

Give it a try! Pick any routine task, place your hands on your heart space and invite yourself to take 5 breathes down to your belly. It is really that simple! 💛

Nebbie, on left, always makes sure that Basil, right, doesn’t leave one pellet of grain behind!
