A MEDITATION FOR RELEASE AND HEALING

Twice every Sunday I lead a Distance Reiki Circle for Animals. It's an spiritual meeting for like-minded animal lovers to gather for 20-30 minutes, wherever we may be, to tune in to higher energies for the welfare of our animals and our selves.  People don't need to be trainedinany way....Hi to our we quietly for about 20 minutes, listening to meditative music while I give prompts for relaxation and visualization, all the while sending Reiki energy to the animals and their people in the circle. All Reiki pracititioners are welcome to send as well...and if people aren't Reiki certified, then their presence and good intentions are enough to amplify the vibration. We always see power in group prayer and meditation.  I also recommend listening to healing music and provide links to the circle members.    Below are a few of my favorites:

1 Aeoliah's Music for reiki  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HejSiqQLF54.   This gentle angelc music is relaxing and conducive to meditation
2. The Eternal Om   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AE8n4U_tmuY    Monks chanting a deep OM raises our vibration and brings us to higher places
3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5dU6serXkg    Gentle sounds of Tibetan singing bowls raise your vibration  ...sound healing is very profound. The clip I linked to is 11  . You can play itall day or overnight as background music to continue the healing.

Sit comfortably with your animal at your side, by your feet,or in your inner vision if you are physically distint.

Take a deep breath in through your nose and hold it as long as you can. Feel your lungs fill with air not UP).so that your belly expands OUTWARD , not UP.   Then release slowly through your mouth. When you exhale, feel all negativity and tension leave your body.

Inhale again and feel the breathe circulate throughout your entire body as you hold that breath.  See every muscle, bone, tendon, organ, cell illuminated by this breath. When you release, visualize all debris dissipating in that exhale. 

As you breathe deeply again, see all dark spots vacuumed into this breath....clear it out completely.  Take as many deep breaths as you need to see this. 

Notice how your animal companion also begins  to breathe deeply.  When you breathe in again,visualize your animal also clearing out any darks spots, any illness,and discomfort.  When you exhale, exhale for our animal as well.  Visualize your animal illuminated by this breath that comesfrom the Light.

Breathe with intention:

Breathe in Light
Exhale darkness


Breathe in Love
Exhale Anger


Breathe in peace
Breathe out discord


Breathe in healing
Breathe out discomfort

Breathe in vibrancy
Breathe out disease

Feel this energy like an internal  massage. Place your hand on your dog or cat or bird  as you breathe and affirm, and see how they respond to the shifting energy.

Think RELEASE.

Sometimes when you release the negative that blocks you, you discover your gift. What's yours? Ask and let the answer arise.  Don't block it or force it.

Sometimes releasing means opening what's locked inside you. It doesn't have to be negative. Sometimes it is a gift that you have to share with others.  What is your gift?  How are you emerging?

Feel yourself bathed in light.  Visualize your animal bathed in light.  You are all encircled by this Light.  If you have a particular worry or healing request, make it now. Say it or think it and the Universe will hear.

Enjoy the peace and carry it with you always.

Why I Chose Animals

I suppose my mother had something to do with me loving animals. From the time I was five, she was bringing home creatures small enough to go undetected in our Brooklyn apartment: turtles, tortoises, and a half-moon parrot with whom I bonded so deeply that the memories of having to give him up (I had severe allergies) still fly at me like unwelcome shards of glass. I remember crying in the back seat of the car, my father double-parked with the engine running while my mother returned the bird to the pet shop. When she came back outside, she was holding a large tortoise, waving it at us, a permission seeking gesture for my father, who banged his hand on the steering wheel and yelled, "Goddamn it, Rhoda!" But we won. The tortoise came home with us. The parrot story goes deeper than simple loss of an amusing companion (which is never simple, anyway). At the time, I was five and silently enduring molestation at the hands of my paternal grandfather. I won't delve into the psyche

God's Covenant with Animals in the Old Testament

What is our human responsibility to the earth and its non-human inhabitants? Traditional Biblical scholars would say one of master-servant and ecologists would say one of caretaker. However, using either frame, neither movement has responded in full view of the evidence presented throughout the Bible that God clearly included animals in covenantal relationships with Biblical scholars neglecting the sanctity of animals and secular environmentalists neglecting God. A closer look at the Old Testament reveals that God designed humankind’s role in relation to the animals as one of stewardship rather than domination. Traditionally religious people often cite Scripure justify a master/servant relationship between humans and animals rather than one of partnership, but deeper investigation invites us to see texts rich with references, both literal and figurative, to the partnership between humankind and the animal world. From Genesis through Prophets and Wisdom Literature, the writers of the Ol

Animals, Divorce, Picador: Living in the Moment

I once heard George Carlin say dogs can't tell time; they don't differentiate between one minute and one day, so when we leave them, upon our return we get the same exuberant greeting whether we were gone for three hours or three seconds. This merits some thought. Is it that animals don't recognize time or that they don't worship time the way we do? We obsess over time lost and time coming; we struggle to retrieve the past, seeking some previously missed key to consequences we endure in our ongoing life sagas. Or we project and fantasize about the future, what will be, what could be, what we want. Doing so, we miss the present moment, the essence of a happy life. The Buddhists teach us that by living in the moment, we have no expectations and feel neither sorrow nor disappointment. So sensible. So difficult. Do our animals experience disappointment and resentment? If they do, such states are momentary. I am still winding through my fresh divorce, which I know in my hea
