Reiki from the Horse’s Mouth

Last weekend my horse Shiloh was suffering from some back leg issues.  Both of his hinds were really sore, so sore that it hurt to walk.  We thought at first it was coming from the right stifle, but when the barn staff looked at him, they said it was a bad case of thrush.  They ended up wrapping both back legs for support and told me to call the ferrier and have him come out at his earliest opportunity.

I made an appointment with the ferrier for the upcoming Monday. Then I called Reiki Fur Babies and asked if they would be able to do a reiki session on Shiloh. I was thinking this would give him some relief until he saw the ferrier.  Luckily, Reiki Fur Babies was able to reiki Shiloh that day.

Long story short, by the time the ferrier came ~ less than 24 hours after the reiki session, Shiloh’s legs were no longer wrapped and he had been turned out that day with his buddies.  When I led him out of the stall, he was walking 85% normal! The ferrier found little evidence of thrush, and what little he did find was easily cut out.

The mega difference was made by the reiki session!  Reiki FurBabies posted on their blog about this experience.  I asked Ming and Candy if they would like to talk to Shiloh to see how he experienced it.  Here’s what Shiloh said:

ReikiFurBabies: What does the energy feel like?

Shiloh: It’s a golden light that comes down in a triangle form, encompassing my entire body.  I am in the triangle, like being in a cocoon.  I could feel it in my right hip and leg, and then it radiated all the way up to my poll! It felt very good there at the poll, a nice pricking sensation.

RFB: How did you know we visited you?

S: I’m not silly! I knew you were there!! You humans can be so ignorant sometimes *sigh*.  I am a teacher, and we horses are so much more intuitive than you humans usually are. I knew, and all the horses in the barn knew you were there.

RFB: Do you horses just know what happened or do you talk about it.

S:  We just know, like I said we are highly intuitive and sensitive creatures.  All the horses felt the energy; even though I was encased in it, it radiated out to the rest of the barn.  We horses recognize and respect good energy.

I’ve gotten this energy from other horses before, but never from a human creature.  Now I know what it is called.  ‘Reiki’ is a good word.  What is California? I don’t think it’s close to my barn.  The energy came from California, went up and bounced off a star, and then came down to me.  That’s the triangle.

RFB: Would you like another session?

S:  Yes, this time on the right side of my neck, up into my jaw.  Don’t for the left side of my neck, and still work on my legs………..Don’t forget my tail, either.

As if the above is not interesting enough, some of the reiki energy radiated to me at my home, which is about 24 miles away from the barn.  I felt very calm and relaxed.  When I tuned into Shiloh to ask him how things went, he was yawning, which started me yawning.  I did not realize that the reiki would benefit me too!
