This month is all about Animal Reiki, a non-invasive and complementary healing practice to promote well-being and good health for your pets.
You’ve probably heard of Reiki, it’s been around since the last century. Reiki is the combination of two Japanese words: rei “spirit” and ki, ” life energy.”
I’m always interested in different ways to help animals. And I’m excited to learn more about animal Reiki.
And since I wore my “I’m-still-a-researcher-at-heart” hat for this edition, you’ll find more useful links about Reiki.
To help us understand, I interviewed Dr. Patricia Lynn Mason, a wonderful teacher and practitioner of Reiki. Patti shared her 18-year journey practicing the art of well-being.
Enjoy!
