My love for healing animals using Reiki energy began with my very own sweet Oliver. Here is his story...
Ollie
came into my life as a 16-week old kitten with his 2 sisters. Sadly
they had been abandoned — left outside in a shopping cart in front of
PetSmart. I was only planning to adopt 2 kittens, but I just
couldn’t leave one behind... so all three came home! Unbeknownst to me, Oliver had feline
distemper when I adopted him. I realized something was wrong within
a few days and took him to the vet for treatment. He was such a
snuggly sweet kitten who was great about taking his meds, and he soon
recovered from the distemper. Unfortunately, the seizures and a slightly
off-balance walk (like John Wayne) remained.
Oliver usually has seizures
when he is sleeping, and it is very difficult to watch him go through it. His head shakes violently and his mouth
opens and closes quickly, gnashing his teeth. I remember one time, he was napping on the couch and fell off, landing on the floor like a rag doll
(unlike the typical cat response of landing on their feet). We try to wake him up but
he's in such a deep sleep that takes quite a bit of effort and we run the risk of getting injured ourselves. I
constantly worried about him hurting himself! I also worried because
he wasn’t getting restful sleep. Thankfully Reiki has made a
significant positive difference and Ollie now can sleep more comfortably
and peacefully — which also means that I feel more relaxed as well. Oliver
recognizes the power of Reiki and lets me know when he wants a treatment by
pressing his head into my hands. I find that as long as we do Reiki
every couple of weeks, the seizures are almost completely gone, and are
much milder.
Oliver constantly lets me know how much he loves me with a very special
Oliver hug. It wouldn’t be morning without one! He jumps on my lap, rubs
my arm, lays his head on my shoulder and puts one paw up over my arm
while I hold him in both of my arms. If I “forget” he meows until I sit
down so he can get his hug. It is a moment I am grateful for every
single day. Once in a while, I even get more than 1 Oliver hug in a day!
