Giving it Away

Something there is about sharing from the heart.  Guided by compassion, I open to love and see with clarity.  This is how life is meant to be lived, I am sure.

And so I give away what I do.  I volunteer at the Windham County Humane Society offering Reiki to the fearful animals as they transition in, and then onward to forever homes.  Reiki provides them some respite and peace in an otherwise confusing and chaotic time.  As we sit together I watch them calm; perhaps they climb on my lap, or cuddle next to me  in their bed.  A lovely Reiki nap allows them time to feel a sense of safety and trust again.  I can feel their pulse rate slowing, their breath deepening, their heart relaxing.  To be clear, my body reacts in the same way and so this is a gift for both of us!  We form a powerful bond, if only for the hour we spend together.  Our hearts touch, we expand, and we make room for joy in our lives,
