Hands
June 13, 2014
The picture to the left is of Peanut, one of the kittens from the feral cats that live at the acreage I recently purchased. My son and I play with the kittens daily to ensure that these cats when grown will be in good homes and will be easy for people to interact with.
The other night, during our daily kitten therapy, I picked Peanut up. When she was snuggled in my hands I heard her whisper, “Why do your hands feel so good?’
They’re Reiki hands. For any one familiar with Reiki and have been fortunate enough to receive a hands on Reiki treatment you will know exactly what Peanut means when she asks why my hands feel so good. A Reiki session makes one feel so good and relaxed. It is so wonderful. If you haven't yet had a Reiki treatment, you must!
Reiki focuses on unconditional love, acceptance, healing and well-being. So when I pick up a kitten, even if it was hissing when I began playing with it, it easily settles down and accepts me.
The mother of the other kittens is less fierce than Peanut’s. Just this morning, when my son and I were interacting with the kittens before we brought them into the house, she at first hissed at me, then watched me play with her coveted little ones. I sang her a song and she was entranced. I began singing Willie Nelson’s song, Mama Don’t let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys. Of course I changed the lyrics to don’t let your kittens grow up to be feral. The mother cat stayed there while I sang to her. Not one hiss. Maybe there is hope for her. I do direct Reiki to her almost every time I go into the shed that we made into a cathouse. She is still very wary, untrusting and feral. But she does not leap out the window as wildly as she used to. Where there is Reiki there is hope. And love. And healing. And acceptance.
