💙 Sweetie Pie here to remind us on this fine Friday that All is Well. 💙

Now, you might say, “But, the world is a mess” and have a lengthy list specifically outlining why All is absolutely not “well.”

Reiki practice reminds us again and again that despite what is happening, we have the choice to connect with our still point, our place of inner balance, peace & compassion and the radiant connection that flows through all living beings. This knowing is what keeps us spiritually supported, resilient, clear and calm at any time we choose. We can choose to be centered in the storm or choose to be swept away by it’s force.

💙Sweetie Pie is waiting for her new people at the Humane Society of Carroll County, Inc. We went for a sunshine walk last weekend. She was a bit uncertain but, true to her name, very sweet. Her owner of eight years passed away so she is on a new phase of her soul journey. Let’s wrap Sweetie Pie in positive thoughts & love while she waits for her new family to find her. 💙

•• Meet the Teacher ••

Hi. I’m Annie. In no particular order, I really love animals, Reiki meditation, coffee and books. I’m also an elementary school librarian and mostly a homebody. I am a teacher at heart and enjoy facilitating experiences for others to explore Reiki for Self-Care as well as how to embrace Reiki with animals. I’m really looking forward to this Saturday when I will be teaching the Level One Course in the Let Animals Lead Method®️ of Animal Reiki created by Kathleen Prasad. I have the best co-teachers there - the beautiful horses of Finding Farm in Frederick, Maryland.

I spend a lot of time studying & practicing Reiki so I can bring the best experiences to my students. There is always more to learn.

Reiki keeps me grounded, joyful, calm and grateful. Even when I find myself angry or straying from the path, it always helps me come back to my heart.

One more fun fact, on the rare occasions when an orieol passes through our farm, it takes my breath away.

I always feel like a kid on Christmas morning when I’m with horses - happy! With me is my perfect friend, Sweet Basil Brown.

The system of Reiki is a spiritual practice that invites people and animals to 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙩 body & mind, 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚 obstacles, 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙧 what needs mending, 𝙧𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙢𝙗𝙚𝙧 authentic purpose and oneness and 𝙧𝙚𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙣 to daily life with mindful presence.

💜Close your eyes. Place one hand on your hara (low belly) and one one your heart. Take three slow breaths. Feel the breath of life fill your body and release it back into the universe. 💜

Small moments connecting our breath, our thought and our body gently bring us back to center, one breath at a time. "Just for today" really is as simple as one inhale and one exhale at a time.

The Five Precepts help our mind to contemplate what the heart already knows to be true.

Our heart, our soul, our intuition, is not angry or scattered with worry. Our true heart is grateful and compassionate. We practice honesty (even when it is hard) to stay in alignment with these truths and live from the wellspring of this energy. This energy is peaceful, grounded and clear. Reiki meditation is one pathway into this space of love, authenticity and light.

💜Last weekend we welcomed a new practitioner into the Let Animals Lead®️Method of Animal Reiki community! I wish I was able to snap better photographs but was trying very hard to to step into their space. It was also great to have my very own teachers, Nebbie & Sweet Basil Brown, lead the session and show us what it is to move in and out of the space based on their own needs. Welcome, Jane! 💜

Long blinks, licking, chewing, yawns, walking, pawing, droopy head and snorts are all ways energy moves out and makes room for relaxation with horses.
