The day was perfect, and the entire class was held outside in the presence of the horses. Here are comments from the students: "The most positive experience I had was working with and seeing the responses of the horses." --Linda "It was an incredible experience. I feel very honored to have been a part of this." "An excellent transition from Reiki on humans to Reiki on animals. --Alison "I just love being around horses!" --Sandra Next class will be later this year.

He's friendly, loud and very sweet. He has a flea allergy, and in the last few days has been barking at every noise and itching a lot. Dobi made friends with me quickly, then began barking at his person, trying to tell her something. It seemed to me he was saying, "let's do this!" His person got a blanket, which he likes to cuddle in and he settled down. He was very receptive, and licked my hands often. He seemed to relax more and more and at one point kissed me on the nose. Initially, he was barking at every noise coming from an overhead apartment, but after a while he stopped barking at the noises. A few days after the session, his person told me "He seemed more relaxed in general. and some great naps! He was really conked out and dreaming. I can tell when he dreams because he twitches and his paws move, as if he's running -- it's pretty cute. He's also barking less at nosies. Lucky loves Reiki. A horse at Freedom Ride, Lucky's first experience with Reiki consisted of a 30 minute "nap" during which he stood very still near his stall door with his head lowered. Since then, he comes immediately to the stall door when he hears my voice, and stands with his head over the door so I can touch him as I share Reiki. He usually starts yawning and seems very content to stay with me until we are complete. Many horses like to graze while receiving Reiki, but Lucky wants a hands on, complete attention Reiki session.
