I love stories that ‘show’ us the possibilities of Reiki healing. One of my favorite Reiki books all around is ‘Animal Reiki’ by Elizabeth Fulton and Kathleen Prasad. It’s full of so many great Reiki and animal stories that just open you up to SO MANY healing possibilities and really show you what you + Reiki are fully capable of doing. Remember, Reiki is healing energy that comes from a benevolent and intelligent Source. So, it knows exactly what each of us needs and wants AND more importantly, what we are ready to heal. SO ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! 
The only limitations to Reiki healing is our soul’s free will (what our soul knows we are ready, willing and able to heal and release today) AND mostly, our human blocks and fears. Doing Reiki on animals, because they are usually quicker to be ready to heal than humans, can be exciting to show us what is possible with Reiki. Animals usually have less blocks and fears to healing than humans do so they start showing healing changes more quickly, usually.
This book has SO many good stories. I’d like to share one with you to ‘wet your whistle’ and hope you will want to read more. Please do not do Reiki on wild animals and allow your own pets to choose how they want to take Reiki. So, I typically will start a Reiki session hands OFF and allow the animal to come to me. Please overall, RESPECT the animals.
Book Excerpt from ‘Animal Reiki.’
THE WAITING STAG
By Elizabeth Fulton
“One day as I was coming in from the car carrying groceries, I encountered a deer in our entry courtyard. It is not unusual to find deer there. The herd that lives in my neighborhood knows that I am fond of them and that they are safe here. But this deer, a young stag who had just shed his antlers, was unfamiliar to me, and he was standing there with a very purposeful expression on his face, as though he had been waiting for me.
He looked directly at me and held up his left rear leg. When I didn’t immediately comprehend his message, he turned around and licked the area above his hind hoof several times. Sure enough, there was a half-dollar-size chunk of flesh missing, with a deep puncture in the middle of the wound, and the area was red, swollen and infected. From the pronounced limp he showed when he took a couple of steps, I could tell it was extremely painful.
I put my groceries in the kitchen, sat down on the doorstep and offered him Reiki. Almost immediately I felt a strong flow of Reiki energy. The young stag stood facing me for a while, then shifted so that the injured leg was the part of his body closest to me. Gradually his head lowered and his eyes half-closed as he relaxed into a semi-dozing “Reiki state,” the injured leg twitching occasionally.
It was a chilly day, and only a small patch of sun shone into the entry courtyard. Several times during the treatment the stag roused himself from his half-dozing state and moved over to the patch of sunlight as it shifted around the courtyard, carefully positioning his injured leg closest to me each time. This continued for an hour, at which point I had to end the treatment because of an appointment. I was honored that this young deer had come to me for healing.
The next day I found him waiting for me- twice! Each time I was able to put everything aside and sit down and offer him Reiki. During the first treatment, some neighborhood dogs started barking menacingly nearby and he bounded off, but several hours later he was back, ready to resume his treatment. Each time his head went down and he entered a relaxed “Reiki state” more quickly than he had the previous treatment. The deer came for daily treatments for the next several weeks, missing only days when there were heavy rains or carpenters at work in the courtyard. A month later his wound had healed and his limp had disappeared, but he continued to come for short treatments every few days, apparently greatly enjoying the experience of a Reiki treatment and understanding its healing action.”
Josslyn again- The intuition and wisdom of animals touch me to my core. They are fabulous Reiki teachers. Give it a GO! Allow the animal the choice to have Reiki. I learned through this book, sit near by and in the Gassho (prayer of intention) OFFER the Reiki to the animal/s and say something like “they may take as much, as little or none of the Reiki I offer, it’s up to them.” Then put your hands on your lap facing up and feel/visualize/have a knowing of the Reiki flowing to the space. The animal choose it in there way. I have had animals climb into my lap, lay next to my lap or feet, lay on the other side of the room, in the hallway or even ‘snub’ me and walk into the other room. But, even from the other room I felt them taking the Reiki and I felt when they were done. Respect the animal first and foremost and they will be great a client and teacher for you.
Reiki Blessings to you all,
Josslyn

REMEMBER – Reiki works safely alongside any other healing modality or medical intervention. But, it is NOT a substitute for medical help. Please, if you have serious hair loss, please consult your doctor and get blood work or other testing done to get answers. AND add Reiki to that!!
REIKI FOR EVERY DAY LIFE
When my dad was young his Aunt and Uncle raised him. He said he learned everything good from his Uncle Karl. He had so much respect for Uncle Karl and his word was my dad’s law in life.
One thing Uncle Karl taught him was to massage his scalp every morning. He told him, IF he massages his scalp rather vigorously every day, he would not go bald. He really did not want to go bald. But, what kid actually does as a young teen, way before the chance of going bald? My dad as a kid, that’s who.
Well, whether it was the massaging of the scalp or the true belief in Uncle Karl’s words, it worked. My dad did not go bald, but his younger brothers did; and at a somewhat early age. My dad was always very proud of his hair because he had dedicated and worked at it. When he died at 84 he had a full head of blond hair, a little less full then when he was young, but a full head of hair none the less.

WHAT’S UP IN THAT TRAILER?
My dad usually did this ritual early in the morning before his showers. I only know this because when we would go camping in the summer. Every single morning my dad would shake the camper for about 5 – 10 minutes while he leaned way over so he was upside down in front of him and very vigorously massaged his scalp. This action would shake our trailer- A LOT. He’d shake the trailer so much it would wake us all up so I couldn’t go back to sleep again, even on vacation. (That was probably also his secret secondary plan.) But, this was so important to him, that he keep his morning absolution every single day, he didn’t mind the wrath of two teen girls screaming at him for waking them up too early on their summer break. I wonder what our fellow campers thought was going on in our camper as they walked by us to their morning shower? Hmmmmmm, I bet they had absolutely no idea my father had discovered the free miracle cure to baldness.
My dad dedicated himself to this goal and did it every single day and it worked, for all we know. I believe intention and action almost always work. Add Reiki and Yes, it always helps.
JUST ADD REIKI
When I started losing my hair from age and hormone issues I thought about this as I was shampooing my hair. I decided to apply Reiki and (not quite so vigorously) massage my scalp while I shampoo and just let Reiki do, what Reiki does; heal!!
REIKI ALWAYS HELPS!
(We just don’t always know how it helps.)

Scientifically I can’t tell you my hair is growing back because of the Reiki although I apply this most days; there’s no money to create that study. But, my hair seems thicker and healthier to me and that’s all that matters. It helps me to know I’m doing something positive about it.
Sometimes, we just need to Reiki something every day for many years and it will help. Intention meets attention + Reiki! A powerful combination.
REMINDER OF SOME REIKI TRUTHS
*** There is no wrong way to do Reiki. Just do it!!
*** Reiki is Divinely Guided and is always for your best and highest good. IF you are meant to have a full head of hair and DO this process, it will work, most of the time. Life happens.
WHAT DOES EDGAR CAYCE HAVE TO DO WITH THIS?
Edgar Cayce would from time to time get letters from his clients (His readings were all done through snail mail at the time) who had received a healing/reading from him and it didn’t work. In most of these cases Edgar Cayce would write back and tell them to NOT GIVE UP or DO IT LONGER, MUCH LONGER!! YEARS LONGER! Most people give up before results.
THE HOW
Reiki is Divinely Sourced and Guided, therefore, it hears your thoughts and you can direct Reiki with your thoughts.
Ask Reiki to:
* Shoot Reiki out through your fingertips to thicken your hair growth
* Remind you -to do this every time you shampoo.
* Run Reiki every time you shampoo even if you forget to ask

* Ask Reiki to heal your scalp, hair follicles, acupressure points on your scalp
* Ask Reiki to open your crown chakra or others near the area
* And any other healing intention that comes to you
So, think about yourself and your healing practices. What would benefit from you doing it more and longer and WITH REIKI?!!!
That is a question for you to answer yourself, but please do share with us IF you feel so called to do so; especially if this helps you in any way. We love to hear from you.
Love and Light,
Josslyn

Congratulations Reiki II Graduates! You are all EMPOWERING yourselves on this fabulous life journey with Reiki!
In Reiki II we learn the three Reiki Symbols which help people create a tangible connection with Reiki. Sometimes learning Reiki is hard for people in Reiki I because Reiki is totally new and an INTANGIBLE. Some people are good with intangible and some people are better with tangible things; things they can see, touch and smell. Well Reiki is tangible after practice when you really GET it, but if people don’t practice and don’t ever FEEL that connection, they might quit or find it very hard to continue and use it very little. I highly recommend taking my Reiki I class where we spend quite a bit of time learning HOW to use Reiki in our every day lives and in the cracks, as well as a hands on technique. But, I also recommend going on to level two, even if you don’t feel you quite GET IT yet because the Reiki Symbols often tie it all together for people and then they are able to understand it much more and then have more of a confidence and motivation to use it more in their lives.
It doesn’t matter WHY you take a Reiki class in the beginning, but if you don’t feel confident enough to use it in your life, you won’t get any of the benefits. Reiki is a healing miracle in so many of my student’s lives and mine, if it has not been a miracle in your life, please come to some of my workshops and start learning what Reiki really truly IS and HOW it can benefit YOU. Reiki is ultimately for YOU. If you feel better, calmer, and more confident in handling life, then you are better able to help others, be kind to others and be the person you want to be in the world.
Especially in these times, that is what we all need. We all need Reiki right now.
My longer Reiki classes are all about helping you to feel confident in using Reiki in any aspect in your life that you want to feel better and healthier about: relationships, job, family, home, romance, manifesting, healing, etc. ALL aspects. Reiki is not just a hands on healing technique, it’s a Divine Energy for healing your entire person and life.
Parden me for getting on my little “Reiki is Incredible” soap box, but it truly has been such a miracle in my life, I just want to help other people connect and understand it as much as my students and I do. Because when you understand it, you use it, when you use it, it heals you. It’s really that simple, and then also, not. We are here to help you use Reiki in your life to heal whatever you choose and whatever your soul chooses.
I can’t make you take a Reiki class, but when you are ready, I’m here to guide you through it and continue walking next to you on your path. This is my soul path. Josslyn
Honoring my Reiki Students,
CONGRATULATIONS
to my Reiki II Practitioners!!!
Emily, Darcie, Nikki and Michelle
