As we mentioned in our last Ezine, a healing crisis is also known as the Herxheimer Reaction which occurs when the body is detoxifying too rapidly and toxins are being released faster than the body can eliminate them. A healing crisis can result from any holistic/natural therapy such as homeopathy, naturopathy, improved diet, or energy medicine. Many people may associate a “healing crisis” with cleansing or fasting. However, it can happen from raising your vibration through spiritual practices or energy therapies also.

The first time I recall experiencing a healing crisis was when I began meditating, and left my legal career to embark on my spiritual and healing journey. I felt feverish and headachey for months, and very thin-skinned emotionally. I needed extraordinary amounts of rest. Yet I knew I was not sick; I felt a strange sense that not only was I going to be okay, but that a new level of awareness and well-being would emerge, like the chrysalis from the cocoon.

You May Feel Worse before Feeling Better: “Peeling the Onion”

We often mistake healing crisis reactions and think we are getting sicker. Yet it often happens in the reverse. These symptoms can be brought on by a new diet or health regime, energy healing or spiritual work.

Dr. Stanley Bass, N.D. D.C. Ph.D. writes, “As you move toward better health with natural healing programs and better nutrition, healing begins to occur. As part of the healing process the body will begin to discard toxic residues which have built up in your body over the years. During the initial phase of healing, as your body begins to clean house, (detoxify) and your vital energy begins to repair and rebuild internal organs, you may experience headache, uneasiness, flu like symptoms and fatigue. These symptoms will pass as your body begins to normalize to a new level of health. You may feel worse before you feel better.”

“During the healing crisis, it is important to not suppress these temporary symptoms with drugs or the healing process may become interrupted,” notes Ginger Chalford, Ph D. “It has taken time to develop a chronically diseased state, and time is required to let go of the “locked” energy, piece by piece. It’s like peeling the layers off an onion.”

Surprisingly, often the crisis will come after one feels their very best and most energized, setting the stage for the elimination. The whole body gets into action. Most people feel an energy boost at the beginning until the toxins start dumping into the blood stream for elimination. I see this with animals too as they are placed on raw diets or sometimes after energy healing. It is as if the body is now strong enough to do its job to release whatever is compromising optimal health and well-being.

Hering’s Law of Cure – Healing Occurs from the Inside Out

According to Dr. Hering healing occurs from the inside out, meaning that toxins are excreted through the skin. This is especially true when the liver, kidneys and lungs have been impaired to some degree. It is also true for energy healing modalities like Reiki—they work on the causal level of dis-ease to bring about balance on all levels, emotional, spiritual and mental causes as well as physical.

My first physical example of this was in the early 1990s at a conference for a health supplement I was using with great results. The man next to me showed me his arms and torso–they had small red dots all over. He said that his whole body was covered with these red spots and gratefully, he stopped disrobing further as I emphatically pleaded “I believe you!!”

At first he thought it was a rash or allergic reaction. But he was not itching, and he did a bit of research. He then sent off some samples to a lab of skin scrapings and they found high levels of asbestos! He had been a construction worker for 20 years and had multiple exposures. Now he said his body was getting healthier, and able to excrete the toxic substance through the skin!

How to Minimize a Healing Crisis

If the Herxheimer reaction occurs, most health professionals suggest you cut back on your health detoxification program. However, the opposite is true for energy healing. It is often the time that people want to quit as it gets uncomfortable. This is the time to ask for help and receive as much healing as possible so that you can clear things with greater ease. The beauty of energy healing techniques are the speed and overall ease with which you can release accumulations of toxic thought patterns, emotions and physical symptoms.

Be kind to yourself — mentally, emotionally, and of course physically. Here are some tips for you to minimize discomfort:

• Drinks lots of pure alkaline ionized water (we love our Kangen water)
• Get minimal exercise daily
• Lots of sunshine (avoid midday in tropics)
• Get plenty of rest
• Take detoxification slowly … one step at a time
• Don’t increase the dose of herbals
• Keep the organs of elimination (bowels, lungs, skin, kidneys) open
• Take detox baths (ask me about the awesome DNR Body Soaks)
• Use essential oils for aches -like peppermint, wintergreen or PanAway and for emotional upliftment – Joy, Orange, Release (purchase Therapeutic grade oils at https://www.youngliving.org/kumari)
• Sweat by using exercise, saunas, baths, and herbs
• Avoid foreign chemicals and refined processed foods
• Apply Energy Healing techniques to ease discomfort and speed recovery

How Mindset Affects Healing Reactions

Once many years ago I was on the phone doing distant healing with a new client and a strange thing happened. Five minutes into the session she began to vomit, and she had not been ill at all. At first I thought perhaps there was something I did that caused such a strong reaction, and began to wonder if I should find a way to regulate the Reiki I was sending.

However, I immediately realized I had never had to do this before and reminded myself of the true nature of Reiki or Universal Life Force. Reiki is supremely intelligent energy, and most certainly not directed by me, rather it is the recipient’s own innate wisdom that applies the energy where it needs to go. So I nixed that thought pronto as I really did not want to make the error of thinking for one second this energy was about me.

I went back to our original conversation where the client exclaimed that she wanted everything in her life to change yesterday; a new job, a new home, a new husband! She was adamant that these major shifts couldn’t happen fast enough. Voila! A clue… I reminded her how she had been really impatient in her request for major change, and that could be influencing her experience.

I suggested she ask for her changes to occur with “grace and ease and divine timing”, and immediately she stopped vomiting and felt better. While this kind of dramatic release happens very rarely, it was a perfect example of how our mindset affects our healing process. Since that experience I have incorporated potent energy management techniques and intentions that facilitate our conscious alignments with more ease and consistently speed healing results and alleviate the struggle often associated with achieving higher levels of consciousness, vibrant health, and radical transformations.

Next Topic: Spiritual Healing Crisis: Are you suffering from Ascension Symptoms?

Many years ago I was in a meditation ashram relishing my favorite spiritual practice: chanting devotional Sanskrit hymns. The mantras, syllables and even the ragas, or melodies, were designed to purify the body, mind and spirit. My first spiritual teacher then asked everyone what they experienced and the answers were: “light, bliss, peace”, etc. Finally one brave soul raised her hand and said “I feel terribly agitated.” The guru was delighted and said “YES—that is VERY GOOD!”

Far from relishing in someone’s suffering, the teacher went on to explain that the very pure vibrations of the chant will work deeply on breaking up any denser energies, any less-than-happy thoughts and feelings and begin to clean out the closets, so to speak. A very good thing indeed, but it can be a very unpleasant, and misunderstood, process.

The same is true with energy healing. Most people will experience very pleasant sensations like warmth, tingling, peace, lightness, calm, happy, energy, hope and pain relief. Some will not notice anything, but may later find they feel very rested and refreshed. My mom was like this. She rarely felt anything in the moment of receiving Reiki but went into a deep sleep and always awoke feeling better.

Yet a handful of people may have what is called a “Healing Crisis”, experiencing very strong unpleasant feelings and sensations, like dizziness, nausea, extreme fatigue, intense pressure, strong emotions, headaches, even pain. It is not common but when it happens I feel just like my teacher: “Very good!!” Because I know that the energy is working on a causal level to bring up to the surface an old pattern, repressed emotion, old injury or illness process, and assist in releasing it. I also know that the person is going to feel VERY changed when something this intense happens.

For example, in my recent Global Distant Healing, one woman, new to energy healing, wrote that she felt sick with a very strong headache and that she had to be still or it worsened. She felt actually “knocked out” by the energy and in “some other place.” It was disturbing her, until the next day when she awoke:

“This is like a totally new place for me. I feel new, I feel changed. When old fear thoughts come in, it is so much easier to let them go. I feel aligned and more expansive. I really am amazed.”

I have never experienced someone remaining in this type of intense agitated place for very long. As a matter of fact, the more intense it is, the greater the shift afterwards. So it may seem strange, but I get very excited when a client experiences a Healing Crisis.

What is Healing Crisis (aka Herxheimer Reaction)
In the holistic health worldview, a healing crisis is seen as not only natural but necessary. In the article “Understanding Healing Crisis” Ginger Chalford, Ph.D writes: “The body has an inherent desire for perfect health… the body must go through an elimination process to achieve good health. The elimination process is often referred to as the “healing crisis…also known as the Herxheimer Reaction which occurs when the body is detoxifying too rapidly and toxins are being released faster than the body can eliminate them. A healing crisis can result from any holistic/natural therapy such as homeopathy, naturopathy, improved diet, etc.” I would of course insert here the Usui System of Natural Healing or Reiki.

“In a healing crisis”, Dr. Chalford continues, “every body system works together to eliminate waste products and set the stage for regeneration. Old tissues are replaced with new. A disease occurs when the body cannot make it through its natural healing crises for one reason or another. The body is “locked” into a destructive and shut down place, physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.”

While the symptoms of the healing crisis may at first be similar to the problem or disease it is meant to heal, there is an important distinction: elimination or release. A cleansing, purifying process is underway and stored wastes are in a free-flowing state. The body, mind, and spirit are no longer “locked.” Sometimes pain and symptoms are re-experienced during the healing crisis but it is temporary and on the way to being released or “healed”.

Reiki energy healing always works on the causal level to shift imbalance and dis-harmony and may bring to the surface past physical injuries, conditions and personal issues so that one can heal their unfinished business. And Yes, as my guru would say, “that is VERY GOOD.”

Stay Tuned: next article “How to Better Handle Healing Crisis”

Years ago after I gave a presentation at a local yoga studio a young woman approached me and asked what I did. I replied, “I do Reiki.” “I do too” she said excitedly. We spoke a bit about our mutual love for the healing art, then she asked again, “What do you do?”

I thought she didn’t hear me, and I kindly responded again, “I do Reiki”. Puzzled, she then clarified, “Yes, but I meant what do you do for a living??” “REIKI” I answered emphatically. Perplexed, she commented that I was the first person she ever met who was able to make a “living” doing Reiki. This really saddened me, as I know it to be true that so many practitioners would love to be merging their passion with their purse and have a profitable healing practice, or at least one that would sustain them.
One of the main reasons that some are able to do the healing work they so love and make a living, while so many others feel it is a pipe dream has to do with the concept of Mastery and Apprenticeship. Ideally, we are all teachers and students simultaneously, yet recognizing, accepting and honoring those relationships are key.

Secret #1: Attitude of Apprenticeship
My Reiki Master gave me a great compliment though at the time I wasn’t sure it was positive. When I applied for Mastery, she said “I can teach you—you are like a child.” Being open and willing to learn, having “beginner’s mind” is what she meant.

In another tradition, there is the Guru-disciple relationship. The disciple finds a Guru or spiritual master and requests acceptance as a disciple. This is followed by years and even decades of spiritual discipline, practices, and seva or selfless service in the ashram or spiritual community. In return for all the effort, the grace of the Guru flows into the disciple giving great wisdom and enlightenment.

Kumara and I know this path very well, as we devoted a combination of 50 years to our spiritual path in this way, logging untold hours of meditation, pranayama (breathwork), yoga, chanting, mantra repetition and sacred rituals.

And did I mention Service??? My first “seva” was cleaning toilets and laying sod. Kitchen seva, garden seva, hosting guests and holding massive events, building temples and labyrinths, and running AIDS hospices. You get the picture. And yes, we “paid” for the privilege. And we have no regrets, for what we got in return for our ample investment, is a wealth of spiritual wisdom, fortitude and grace.

In Japan the Reiki students performed treatments in the clinic daily for years before “graduating” to another level. And not all of them did get to the higher levels of Mastery.

My partner Kumara shared that an apprentice woodworker in Germany would pay the Master Carpenter a good amount per month for 3 years to learn the trade. Then another 3 years he would get some pay as a “Geselle”, and continue to learn the business end of the trade. Finally, he would apply for the honor of being a “Master” and take the appropriate exams etc. Not everyone made this level of artistry and business acumen.

The western addiction to “fast food” has spawned what my Master would call “fakey reiki”. Some students think they should be able to receive attunements online, or a weekend Mastery course and then wonder why they can’t teach and have a practice that supports them.

It is not just the students’ shortcomings here, but the teachers who are only offering the McDonald’s style courses at bargain rates that prevent the full transmission of the energy and power that is available through Reiki when true apprenticeship is acknowledged and understood.

Secret #2: Find a Teacher
Whether you are trying to master a musical instrument or wanting to become adept at a healing art, finding a great teacher will certainly speed up your learning curve exponentially. I find many folks here that equate reading books with acquiring knowledge on a topic. And while I love to read, I can tell you that the most impactful “learning” that I ever accomplished was with my teachers.

Often it is not just the words either. It happens sometimes primarily by a sort of osmosis, or transmission. The very state of being gets more easily downloaded than if you took years of book knowledge of a subject, especially in the realm of energy healing, personal growth and spiritual and intuitive development.

I am certainly not advocating giving away power here. But the results of devoting time, energy and resources to a true teaching are phenomenal. Personally I popped open immediately upon meeting my first guru from India. Just being near her was ecstatic. It was as if you got to enter into her energy field and transformations happened effortlessly. Then I spent the next 20 years absorbing the practices so that I could manage to hold that higher vibration more on my own.

When it comes to Reiki, I would recommend finding a Master who is focused full time on their healing art. Hopefully fairly successful so they are not in struggle, as that takes a ton of focus away from healing. Find one that you resonate with and feel good around. This is not to say they never challenge you but you should feel uplifted in general. One who is devoted to their own self-care meaning they receive regular treatments and attend to their own spiritual growth via meditation or other similar practices. A good place to start is to check the Reiki Alliance, as it if the only organization I know of that regulates its Masters via a personal interview before acceptance into the Alliance to assess how they were taught.

Secret #3: Invest in yourself
When you invest in a course or workshop, it may feel as if you are investing in that person or teacher. But the truth is you are investing in yourself through them. This concept can change the way you view these opportunities and allow you to take full advantage of them instead of wondering if it is “worth it”. Even when the experience is not always perfect, when you take responsibility for it you can always find a valuable teaching in it.

My guess is the young woman I mentioned earlier who never could make a living doing Reiki, personally had made very little investment in her training. And this is not just the students responsibility. The teacher too must set the standards high.

When Ms. Takata brought Reiki to the US so many years ago, she saw that Westerners tended not to value things unless they paid for them. So she established standardized fees for each level of Reiki which have not changed for over 30 years in the Reiki Alliance yet many have declared the values out of proportion. Takata sold her home in Hawaii to apprentice with Dr. Hayashi in Japan and learn Reiki.

Now I understand why Takata placed a very decent value ($10,000 in 1980—counting inflation it is over $28,000) on Reiki Mastery. I cannot begin to add up my investment in Reiki, energy healing and spiritual practice, combined with all the business, coaching and counseling trainings. And I have not one regret, it was totally worth every unpaid minute, and every penny borrowed.

Secret #4: Don’t be afraid to ask others to invest in you
Receiving energy exchange for services is just as valuable as giving it. The circle of giving is only complete when there is receiving. I encourage all my students especially after Reiki Level II to begin charging for their treatments.

Once I was feeling very exhausted and I couldn’t seem to clear it for weeks. When I meditated on it, the answer I received was I did not charge enough and therefore I was out of balance and alignment and getting depleted.

The rest of the message was this: You have a great fire hose of energy and healing to share, but you are only asking clients to come to you with a little garden hose. They are not able to receive the fullness of what you have to offer, and you are not feeling balanced. Right then and there I raised my fees. It was one thing to deny myself, but the thought that I may be blocking my clients and students from receiving more was unbearable.

Secret #5: Decide and take action
This is from my fabulous new conscious business mentor Kendall Summerhawk who says “Indecision robs you of massive amounts of energy.” Taking action is where many people fall down, especially spiritual seekers. You must move in the direction of your dreams and goals, with great intention. Even small actions performed consistently can have massive results over time.

Many years ago I moved from my spiritual community to a new city and was needing to find work. I knew my heart was telling me to do Reiki, but I had no way to get started. Instead of falling back on my law degree, I grabbed the Yellow pages and decided if I was going to have a healing practice I needed a massage table.

My small action allowed Spirit to step in, and I opened the page to “M” and found an ad for “Marriage & Family Counseling” that caught my eye as they mentioned holistic services. I tried to contact them for weeks with no response. Finally I drove to the office with my new Reiki resume, and eventually landed my first position in a Psychiatric practice offering Reiki treatments.

I encourage you to go for your dreams; in this time of great shift in human awakening and planetary evolution there is great opportunity. Now more than ever your dreams are within reach.

Thank you all for participating in the Free Healing transmission last Sunday night, on September 11th. If you weren’t able to attend, we missed you! However, you will find the stories that follow interesting!

Several advanced Reiki students both here and internationally joined me to send Reiki energy to nearly 500 people and their animal companions. You were joined by recipients from South Africa, Mexico, Canada, Argentina, Europe and all across the United States.

It is always so powerful when so many align with the same healing intention. And always a bit unique. We started out by directing the healing to all the Reiki Masters, and many great beings of Light and archangels, which got the healing essence off to a roaring swooshing start. As we send to such powerful souls, it amplifies the energies exponentially for all of us.

This time I included healing for everyone’s home and environment to help anchor the healing energy for you in your surroundings. This was very intense for me as my whole body began to feel like a lightning rod went through my spine to the earth. It is important to remember that everything is energy and keeping our spaces clear energetically is extremely helpful.

One new client from Arizona reported: “It was extremely POWERFUL AND WONDERFUL!!! For the first 5-7 minutes, I ”tuned in” and could feel the energy start to come before we got outside. My new pup Gus and I went outside and sat under my meditating tree and laid on the ground. Since you had worked with Gus before, I told him that you would be sending us healing energy; he seemed to recognize you and appreciate the energy!

The healing energy seemed to build in intensity. I could ”see” you and feel waves of energy coming from your essence. It felt like wave after wave of golden, pulsating energy to me. I also sensed the connectedness of the group and that this light was somehow bathing the planet as well.

This is exactly what I, and my Reiki students, have felt — that not only are we sending individually to each of you, but there is a wave of Healing Light going out around the globe, and ultimately each of you is connecting to the larger group.

It reminds me of the story of the 100th Monkey. One monkey on a remote island was observed to be learning a new skill of washing her food, and soon the other monkeys adopted this behavior. But what was astounding was this: once the whole troupe adopted the new skill, other monkeys around the globe were all at once washing their food! This raised the thought that there may be a universal consciousness that all of life taps into once a critical mass is reached (the 100th monkey in this case).

So when I do these Group Healings an unexpected phenomenon seems to be occurring. When we gather with the intention of giving and receiving Healing Energy, we are not just doing so individually. We are creating a new healing harmonic, a grid of healing light through our collective intention to be uplifted. The giving and receiving of support completes the circle and uplifts us all. That is why I truly mean it when I say that it is a great honor to serve in this way. I am deeply grateful to all of you who allow me to share what I have been given in such a beautiful way.

If this is something you would love to receive for you and your family members on a more regular basis, I have designed a very affordable and accessible Weekly Healing Program that you can begin receiving support immediately, no matter where you are. I call it my “Healing Insurance” program and truly energy medicine is one of the best ways you can take care of yourself and your family.

I truly would love to hear your experiences. If you had any sensation or result from these Free Healings, it is awesome to share them.  Please leave your experiences in the comments below!

As I communicate often with the spirit of those who have left their bodies, I long to share with those who are grieving and feel left behind the awesome feelings, sensations and awareness I experience from those who take flight from the body. It is not what many people may anticipate; guilt, regret, blame, what-ifs. It is quite the opposite generally, as I connect to the Soul level consciousness, which is filled with tremendous expansion, deep understanding, great awareness and light-heartedness, even bliss.

Actually this topic was specifically requested by my Mom, who transitioned a few short months ago. My mother’s Spirit was very communicative and present for me immediately after she left her body. This was quite unusual, as she had been very sick and on lots of medication at the time.

Lag Time for Clarity
Normally in this circumstance I need to wait for a week or more before there is clarity and the ability to communicate from the new bigger perspective. It is rare that a person or animal can pop out of one dimension (physical) and be instantly clear and present on the spiritual plane.

This happened once before with a man who was surfing, and died from a heart attack on the board as he paddled to shore. He was very spiritually focused for many years, and he was able to describe getting up from the surfboard, and walking through a kind of clear jelly-like membrane and voila! He was fully conscious on the other side. He too was quite ecstatic and able to clearly converse about it shortly after his physical death.

Generally it seems to take some time for souls to gather up the energies and regroup in a very different dimension. Only when a being (animal or human ) is quite advanced and aware spiritually do I feel that they are able to orient immediately and share their expanded awareness and spiritual experience. I usually ask clients to wait a few weeks to have a session for this reason.

Cosmic Cruise
Not my MOM—she was raring to go, chatting me up night and day about the Bliss of not being bound to an aging ailing body. She was ECSTATIC and wanted to tell me all about it. I felt like she was experiencing a Cosmic Cruise, able to travel anywhere in the universe instantly with just a thought. She was having a ball!

The first conversation I had with her the day after she passed I asked her to describe what she was experiencing. She related immediately; “you know how I so enjoyed the gorgeous tropical sunsets every evening here in FL?” Losing her eyesight made her extremely grateful for the beauty she was still able to observe each day. “Well, all I have to do now, is THINK of the sunset, and I AM THE SUNSET!!” she crooned excitedly, like a child at their first amusement park. I could feel tingles of joy.

Mom wasn’t close to finished bubbling. “And you, I just think of you, and I can MERGE right into you!” Indeed, I could feel her energy merging with mine as we spoke. By the way, this part is not common or necessary for communicating with Spirit, but does sometimes happen –only with my permission now.

She was delighted with her new abilities and perspectives that opened up to her. She was, as many of us who are left behind try to find solace in, Blissful and FREE.

Animals Spirits are Blissful too
I have experienced this overwhelming joy with so many souls, but one of the first ones really stands out. Pooh Bear, who I dubbed the Buddha Kitty, left his body at the vet’s office and within moments my client called me, quite distraught of course. She wanted to connect with her best friend.

At first I had trouble “finding” him. It took longer than usual and when I mentioned my difficulty connecting, I finally felt him, laughing at me. Pooh Bear said distinctly “ You can’t find me because you are not looking Big enough!” In fact, I had attempted to connect with his rather small kitty body as I had done many times before to send him healing energy. But this time I had to widen my scope, and eventually I cast my energy radar to the width of the whole room, and then I felt him. His energy was HUGE!

The next thing that happened has been life-altering for me. I couldn’t find words to describe the waves and waves of joy, freedom, and ecstacy flowing from him and through me. I knew my client was too sad at the moment to take all this in, yet I so wanted to share my experience.

With this intention, I quickly grabbed a quartz crystal nearby and asked Pooh’s spirit to fill this crystal with his awesome radiant essence, so she could perhaps feel some of what I was tapping into. Quarts crystals are extremely dense and are known for their ability to register and amplify frequencies. I shipped the energized crystal to her, with the instructions to open it when she was ready. I had no idea then what she might feel.

Several weeks later I heard from Pooh Bear’s mom that she opened the golden cloth pouch and removed the crystal, held it and burst out crying. She could instantly feel Pooh Bear’s unique Presence. Since this time I have offered to energize crystals with the essence of the departed souls, and share their unique messages, with the intention that others can access the enormous ecstatic energy and awareness that is available when Spirit takes flight from form.

My good friend, Dr. Masaru Emoto, world renown Water Crystal Expert, is asking for our help in praying for the waters of Japan

Please take a moment to read the request below. My wish is that we all take time to do our part in the healing process for this precious resource.

By Masaru Emoto
Please send your prayers of love and gratitude to water at the nuclear plants in Fukushima, Japan.

By the massive earthquakes of Magnitude 9 and surreal massive tsunamis, more than 10,000 people are still missing, even now. It has been 16 days already since the disaster happened. What makes it worse is that water at the reactors of Fukushima Nuclear Plants started to leak, and it’s contaminating the ocean, air and water molecule of surrounding areas.

Human wisdom has not been able to do much to solve the problem, but we are only trying to cool down the anger of radioactive materials in the reactors by discharging water to them.

Is there really nothing else to do?

I think there is. During over twenty year research of hado measuring and water crystal photographic technology, I have been witnessing that water can turn positive when it receives pure vibration of human prayer no matter how far away it is.

Energy formula of Albert Einstein, E=MC2 really means that Energy = number of people and the square of people’s consciousness.

Now is the time to understand the true meaning. Let us all join the prayer ceremony as fellow citizens of the planet earth. I would like to ask all people, not just in Japan, but all around the world to please help us to find a way out the crisis of this planet!!

The Prayer procedure is as follows.

Name of ceremony:
“Let’s send our thoughts of love and gratitude to all water in the nuclear plants in Fukushima”

Day and Time:
March 31st, 2011 (Thursday)
12:00 noon in each time zone

Please say the following phrase:
“The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant, we are sorry to make you suffer. Please forgive us. We thank you, and we love you.”

Please say it aloud or in your mind. Repeat it three times as you put your hands together in a prayer position. Please offer your sincere prayer.

Thank you very much from my heart.

With love and gratitude,
Masaru Emoto

After Suki, my teacher in doggie clothes, transitioned, my sister offered me a puppy, Nyoman. Everyone said she was a perfect match for me, and we did share an amazing connection. But I did not feel a complete “yes”. One day I was cuddling with Nyoman wrapped around the top of my head, and I began to ask if she was supposed to come live with me. I asked all the normal questions: “Is it in our highest and best good? Yes. “Will we have a great life together?” Yes. “Does she want to be with us?” Yes. I was stumped as I felt 99% “yes” on all levels, yet there was something not quite right. Finally I asked the $64,000 dollar question: “Will I fulfill my Soul Purpose if I take this puppy now?” “NO” came the answer loud and clear.

This is where I felt the hesitation. While on most levels it was a wonderful choice, it would be a distraction to fulfilling what I had set out to accomplish now on a Soul level. I felt that it was time to truly dedicate myself to my recently revealed mission of being: 1) a clear channel inspiring awareness and compassion on a global scale through exploring the human/animal spiritual connection; 2) a catalyst for global ascension through conscious vibrational healing.

While others may balance these two duties skillfully, I have a tendency to be a completely devoted, insanely present doggie mommy and relegate my other duties to the bottom of the list. I always semi-joked that I would like to come back next life as my dog!

Asking More Precisely Speeds Healing
In an animal communication workshop, I was demonstrating on a horse how I combine energy healing with telepathy. The horse did not release his back pain until the second day when we hit on a more precise question about why he was holding this pain. A past trauma surfaced, and we were able to feel his emotions for a bit and then he was able to easily release his stiffness.

I recently listened to an audio from my mentor, the pioneer in inter-species telepathic communication, Penelope Smith. She reminded me of a question I always asked my human clients to help them understand why they may be “choosing” to experience a certain negative situation from a spiritual perspective.

Penelope asked a very fearful cat who had a wound that the cat kept scratching open “what problem is this solving to have a wound not healing?” The cat thought about it and remembered long ago that she decided that if she were ugly enough, people and animals would stay away from her. With this new understanding uncovered, the cat had a complete turn-around, healing up very quickly and becoming very affectionate!

I have seen this phenomenon very often with pets and people. When we begin to consciously be aware of how an injury or illness may have benefited us, we then can re-evaluate and more consciously re-choose.

A 10 year old girl was visiting my family with her mother, an old friend who was touring the house with my mom. The daughter began complaining of pain in her injured leg. She had broken a bone playing baseball and had recently gotten her cast removed.

I offered some Reiki healing and she accepted, though quite skeptical. Normally children and animals are much quicker than adults to allow the healing energy to balance them. But this child had no energy flowing in her leg, and I suspected she was totally blocking the healing on some level. So I had to get creative to find a way to help a child understand why she may be holding on to the pain without creating any blame.

I remembered when I was 15, I fell off my horse and broke my elbow, and went to a prom with a cast. I kinda liked the attention I got from everyone as they lined up to sign my cast. So I got her to talk about how all the boys would sign her cast and draw funny things, and her eyes lit up retelling the stories. I asked if she enjoyed all the attention she had received with a cast, and she emphatically replied “YES”! Then I asked her how much she liked playing baseball, and she beamed. She was a very talented athlete and enjoyed it immensely. But her injury had benched her for months.

Then came the $64,000 question: “Are you ready to let go of the attention you are getting for being injured, and once again enjoy the attention you receive and the fun you have playing baseball?” She honestly considered this for a few moments, and then decided that yes, she would prefer the positive attention she got from her athletics.

Instantly the energy began flowing through her whole leg, and within seconds she excitedly declared “the pain is gone! She ran after her mom delighted to tell her of the “miracle” that her knee didn’t hurt anymore!

Benefits of Natural Disasters?
In the same light, I began contemplating the earthquake and tsunami and resulting radioactive threat in Japan. I decided to employ the same tactic and ask “What problem are these disasters solving for Mother Earth?”

I lit some sage, walked barefoot around our property, and received this message:

“The Grand Entrance to the New Dimension has been unfurled. Mother Earth is freeing herself of old “straight-jackets” or structures that have been inappropriately containing her.

You can send positive energies to ones who have crossed over. When you raise your vibration it helps them to come out of the chaos and confusion and go to their destiny as Spirit. To embrace the light and the love that is surrounding them and welcoming them Home to who they truly are.”

Restoring Ecosystems: Love is the Answer – Again
Synchronistically, I came across this excerpt from Penelope Smith in Species Link Journal, from the dolphins’ response to a question about how to restore ecosystems:

“The only thing that will restore the ocean and Earth to purity is the balm (vibration) of pure love…it is not the technologies of men that will save the oceans, but the energy of love brought to bear on the situation. Within this love, the proper actions and mechanical devices, minerals, herbs will be created that change the impurities magnetic alignment so that they are removed from toxic emanation and are realigned as nutrients for the Earth.

The vibration and halo of love emanation that you spread will enlighten all beings, so that all act in harmony and peace. This will bring the alignment necessary to restore the purity of the environment, which all the inventions of humans without the love could not do. We are here to help you to remember and to return that Oneness that is in your memory, and is our true nature.” (Excerpt from “The Cetacean/Human Evolution of Being, Summer/Autumn issue 1997)

In grade school my teachers taught that animals had no soul and therefore were inferior beings. It didn’t make sense to me then, and certainly does not ring true now. In fact, my experience is quite the opposite.

I have found animals to be amazing teachers in general, for demonstrating qualities humans could certainly aspire to, such as: unconditional love, light-heartedness, patience, persistence, and forgiveness. These are qualities that most of my clients would say their pets possess in abundance. But it doesn’t end there.

Author Penelope Smith observes that “animals can teach us about our own true nature, since most of them always know and never disconnect from awareness of themselves as eternal spirit functioning within the whole web of life.” I would have to agree. I have witnessed animals who are clearly Spiritual Teachers, serving to show us more evolved ways of being better humans.

I spent over two decades studying with renowned Spiritual Masters. Then I began to notice how certain animals were assuming the same roles, teaching us how to meditate, how to be fully present no matter what is happening, how to release old energies and patterns instantly, and how to do advanced and profound healings.

Animals as Meditation Masters
A client called me years ago about her cat who was diagnosed with cancer with very little time left. I sent Reiki and he had instant relief from many of the discomforts of the cancer. There was a sense of completion with his human, as he saw her through a very challenging time. But now he was a bit despondent as he was waiting to die. He needed another purpose.

So we talked about what he could focus on now and the cat showed me that he was a powerful and skilled meditator. His person confessed to being a bit stuck in this area, as she would get to a certain place of emptiness, and would become afraid. I suggested that the cat could become her Meditation Teacher with whatever time he had remaining…he became elated and got to work immediately.

Her “Buddha Kitty” then proceeded to support her by first going to different states of consciousness, having me describe them and hold the space, and then his person would more easily access them. Her fear diminished with each session.

Animals as Master Healers
I once asked my puppy Suki who she was in that little doggy body and she communicated that she was a “healer” but she wanted to be somewhat incognito and work unconventionally. I attuned her to Reiki early on, and made the mistake of initiating her paws. Suki proceeded to use her paws and “punch” people at times in their solar plexus, and just as I was about to scold her, people reported that she shifted major blockages they had been unable to release!

When Suki was very near transitioning, I was very sad as she had a huge open tumor on her shoulder. I curled up with her on the couch in my office one night. Suki immediately filled the room with a blanket of enveloping energy that was so thick I felt like I was in the Divine Womb, and all my fear and sadness melted away. Suki explained telepathically that I should not just treat the body with healing energy, but fill the room with it too so that people and animals would feel safe and be able to more easily release their limitations.

“Be Here Now”
Much of human misery stems from the fact that we are most often living in the past or the future, rarely in the present moment. Animals are incredibly able to demonstrate this ability to be fully present.

People often call me to find out if their animals are in pain. Though animals feel all types of pain, they often are not experiencing it the way humans are because they are not obsessing mentally about it. They have the ability to be fully in each moment. So one moment they are perhaps aware of their body and its discomforts, and the next they are watching a bird, and so fully in that moment that there is little or no pain experience.

So if you have been secretly wondering if your Snoopy is a Sage or Shaman, if Buddy the Beagle is a Buddha, or Lucky the cat is a Lightworker, you may be on to something. Don’t let the fur or feathers fool you! There are some pretty awesome spiritual adepts masquerading in animal garb. And I would love to hear your Teacher Tails :)
