I read a book called Animal Reiki which stressed the importance of giving the animal the freedom to accept or reject reiki. I knew that we were supposed to ask permission before giving or sending reiki to anyone, but I completely forgot to apply the same concept and courtesy to my own puppy! I remember one instance where I literally chased him around the living room for over half an hour because he would not stay still and accept the reiki treatment that I was so convinced he needed. As it turned out, I needed the reiki, not him - he was only mirroring my issue. Now, I let him decide whether he wants reiki or not.

I love reading your posts, E. I find it all very fascinating. I guess I'm going to have to buy a book and read up some more.
