For the past two weeks I have been doing continuing education for Reiki through S.A.R.A.(Shelter Animal Reiki Alliance) and still have 6 weeks to go. My "homework" consists of different meditations that focus on building a safe and calm space for the Reiki to do its work. This has brought up a great question. Why do we love our pets(animals) so much? For me it is the fact that they are there to help us be present and calm in each moment. You may love to go throw a ball with your dog or go on a hike but when it comes down to it you (usually) can just sit calmly with your pet or within the nature that you and the animals share to help keep you at peace and allow for Reiki to heal you. It is well known that I love animals but it is the peace that they have helped to show me that I wish to give back to them when I do Reiki.
