Reiki and the Bull Shark

July, August, September 2010

By Sylvia M. DeSantis

I chant the energy symbol under my breath as I grab the bull shark’s dorsal fin and shove her into the pounding surf once more. “Breathe,” I yell at her, at the sea, at my friend, and then notice with not a little surprise that I’m actually in the ocean and soaked. In that split second between loving this beached baby shark and understanding that she may not go back out to sea and live, I lose concentration and wonder if the restaurant will still seat us looking like bedraggled mermaids…

As Animal Reiki Practitioners, we all know what amazing teachers our Animal Friends are. Most would think that humans pass teaching to the animals; we have all, however, shared many experiences where we were the ones actually being taught. I write this now to share one of the greatest lessons I ever learned from an abused and frightened, little boy named Randy.

Life After Marbles

By Chrissie Slade

Thursday 6th November 2008 was a very sad day. Marvellous Marbles went on his way after a short illness. He chose his own time to go and I was with him at the end. Marbles was just over 6 years old - a good innings for a guinea pig. I adopted him when he was only a few weeks old and small enough to sit in my hand.

When Kathleen asked who wanted to work with the horses for our inaugural animal Reiki session at the May 2010 Reiki I workshop at BrightHaven Animal Sanctuary, I surprised myself by eagerly raising my hand. Don’t get me wrong - I love horses and think that they’re wonderful beings. However, I often feel intimidated by their sheer size. I soon learned why I was being drawn to the horses that day.
