Who has the energy....

I talk a lot about doing energy work and energy healing...you hear about it from other people or perhaps see posts on FB. But what IS energy work and when do you need it? If you remember back to your science classes, everything is made up of energy. Try an experiment....rub your hands together a few times, rubbing briskly. Now slowly move your hands apart, about a foot or so, and gradully push back towards the center. You should feel warmth and even some resistance. You have created an energy ball, see wasn't that easy? There are many types of energy work, but since I do Reiki the majority of the time , I will talk about that. Reiki was discovered in the early 1900s in Japan by Dr. Usui. It is taught person to person, using symbols and attunements. The word "Rei" is interpreted to mean "higher knowledge." It understands each person individually. The word "Ki" means "life energy." As long as something is alive, it has life energy. What does that mean for you and your pet? As your energy flows through your body, think if it's path like a river. It has a certain direction and must flow unimpeded to keep things moving, healthy and balanced. Just as logs or debris, etc. can dam up a spot in the river causing it to work harder, or even try to flow in a different direction, it can have the same effect on your body when things aren't flowing well. In people and animals, stress or illness can cause our energy flow to grow sluggish and not work properly. There is no "wrong" time to have energy work done. You (or your pet) do not need to be ill to have a session. The best way to STAY healthy is to have regular energy sessions done, to keep your body balanced and flowing as it should be. Reiki in paticular is wonderful for reducing stress, helping to heal faster, balancing the body before and after surgery, reducing the side effects of chemotherapy...well the list goes on! It is also great for performance dogs, enabling them to deal with the pressure and demands of all that work. Reiki, as in alot of types of energy work, can be done from a distance. The energy always knows where to go. Reiki also does no harm, and can be used if you are on medications, etc...it will not hurt or interfere with them in any way. So think about getting some energy work done soon, it can't hurt! Stay Healthy and Balanced.
