One of my life’s purposes is to help animals in whatever way I can, whether it’s empowering them using animal communication, sharing Reiki, or meditating with them. I also gain tremendous joy raising money for different animal rescue and welfare organizations since they usually run entirely on donations. These life-saving organizations need ongoing financial support to feed, house, rehabilitate, give medical care and re-home animals in need.

Service work is an integral part of who I am, and that’s why I’m offering a couple of different fundraisers this month to help animals that I hope you will support. 

On April 19th, I’m offering Meditating with Horses Fundraiser. This webinar will benefit Rising Starr Horse Rescue in Wilton, Connecticut, which saves, rehabilitates, retrains, and re-homes abandoned, neglected, or abused horses.

On April, 30. I’m excited to team up with the Shelter Animal Reiki Association’s Director, Kelly McDermott-Burns, for Meditating with Farm Animals. This webinar will benefit the animals at The Little Red Barn Farm Sanctuary in Turnbridge, Vermont. 

We will create a powerful meditation circle during each fundraiser to offer peace and compassion to horses and farm animals. You experience a heart-opening meditation using the Reiki-based Let Animals Lead® Method that you can share with the animals in your life.

During each webinar, you will learn how meditating with horses and farm animals can

• Calm your mind and body
• Enhance your heart connection with animals
• Strengthen your relationship with animals 
• Create a peaceful and compassionate space
• Heal and transform the lives of animals and you!

I believe it’s essential to give our loving and positive energy to the circle of life. I feel honored to share the potent tool of meditating with different types of animals with you. And I’m excited for the animals to receive the healing benefits of having you meditate with them.

You don’t need to own a horse or farm animals to enjoy meditating with them during these special fundraisers. Just bring your desire to have an open-hearted connection and willingness to connect with these amazing animals for healing and transformation.

I hope you will join us and invite your friends to support horses and farm animals. When we meditate collectively with animals, it can shift humans’ hearts and minds compassionately.

These days, many professional Animal Communicators, like myself, also practice Animal Reiki and vice versa. It’s beneficial to understand the differences between these individual healing modalities, the role of each practitioner, and why combining Animal Communication (AC) and Animal Reiki (AR) into a single session reduces the integrity and effectiveness of each technique.

It’s easy to confuse the two techniques because the successful outcome of an Animal Communication session and Animal Reiki treatment is to create harmony, balance, and mutual understanding between animals and humans. 

The purpose of an Animal Communication consult is to allow humans and animals to share their hearts together with the Animal Communicator, creating an active dialog and discussion between the animal and their human. 

An Animal Communicator’s job is to:

As a professional Animal Communicator, it’s my job to actively listen to the animal and their human. During an AC consultation, I create a bridge of mutual understanding by allowing the animal and human to have a two-way conversation in real-time with me acting as an interpreter. 

Once the animal’s perspective is known, I provide feedback, counseling, and support to clear up misunderstandings and miscommunication by clarifying the reasons behind problems and behaviors, which may feel confusing or overwhelming. It’s my intention to actively focus on an animal’s problems no matter how upsetting, like when they’re experiencing behavioral issues, illness, or death. 

The goal of an Animal Reiki treatment is to help animals through passive Reiki meditation.

The Animal Reiki practitioner’s role is to:

My intention as an Animal Reiki practitioner is to create a safe healing space for the animal through Reiki meditation so the animal can go into deep relaxation, which enhances the body’s natural healing response.  

For animals to experience the full depth of a Reiki healing experience, the animal and AR practitioner must go into silent meditation, which helps animals go into a deep relaxation where the animal can heal. 

It’s difficult for the animal and AR practitioner to go into the Reiki space if there is an expectation that the animal needs to do something other than relaxing. Plus, it’s impossible to carry on an active two-way conversation with the animal and their human while being in the passive state of meditation.

Many AR practitioners become confused about their purpose if they receive intuitive telepathic messages from animals. Just because the AR practitioner receives telepathic messages from animals during an Animal Reiki treatment doesn’t make them an Animal Communicator.

When I first began my Animal Reiki practice twelve years ago, I naively thought I could practice AC and AR at the same time. I quickly realized practicing AR required I take a passive role as I meditate with the animal. On the other hand, AC requires my active participation as I engage in a dialog with the animal and their person. I learned it’s impossible to be active and passive at the same time. 

Experience has taught me that it’s more beneficial and less confusing to offer Animal Communication and Animal Reiki as individual services. If I receive essential information from an animal during an Animal Reiki treatment, I will suggest to my human clients that they schedule a separate Animal Communication session so I can relay their animals’ messages.
