We literally vacationed on the farm – not only took up quarters there – no, we spent almost the entire time on the farm.
One morning the goat “Shiva” was limping. No wonder, goat Shiva was like pig Rudi “free roamer” on the farm and had a lot of nonsense in his head. My son (13) just said, “Mom, you have Reiki – you can treat the goat.” I didn’t want to ask the farmer – something in me was still afraid to “out” myself.
But I asked the goat if I could give her Reiki. I told her that she could walk away if she didn’t want to. Shiva stopped for a quarter of an hour and had his left rear ankle treated. The next day again and on the third day she was no longer limping. That was already a great experience for me, but it was to come “even thicker”.
I had registered that a cow had a gate to herself, but didn’t give it much thought. Besides, there are some things that are different on a Demeter farm. So I asked the farmer and he told me that the cow had a suppuration between the eye and the nose and only now the wound was open and the pus could finally drain. That’s when I told him that I had Reiki in my hands and would like to give Reiki to the cow. He allowed me – the cow would be peaceful and would not hurt me. But he did not want to come into the gate himself, because the cow would bandage him with pain, he had disinfected her wound only a short time ago.
So it was with a fair amount of respect that I entered the gate. The cow was lying down and I could put my hands well on the head and neck. My husband was standing outside the gate and would have surely come heroically to my rescue…he took pictures.
I was able to treat for quite a while, but suddenly the cow stood up – I couldn’t even get up from my crouch that fast – and came menacingly close to my chest with her horns. There the fear won in me nevertheless and I saw that I came as fast as possible out of the gate… The farmer meant later only that she had not threatened me, he interpreted the gesture rather as gratitude. However, these declarations of love were then too violent for me.
In the early evening, the farmer came to see me again. While he didn’t want to press me, and if I was scared it would be okay, he would ask me to treat the cow again that evening. (I declined for the time being – I wouldn’t go into the gate again alone). He would have to disinfect the wound again anyway and would be with me in any case. Reiki would have done the cow good, after the treatment the eyes would have been more awake and shiny, she would have eaten and also drunk… And he assured me he would fix the horns to the gate with a rope….
That’s how it was. He treated the wound – I treated the cow with Reiki. I did notice that the hands were reacting, but I was so preoccupied with myself and my fear that I could not perceive the cow’s reactions. And later I still went to bed with soft knees and shaky hands. It was a great experience and everything was so clear – I really wanted Reiki II – imagine if the cow had been a tiger… !!!!
Many thanks, dear Mischa and René, for your work.
PS from René: S. told me about the above story in the Reiki 2 seminar… where she learned the remote treatment (not only for Tiger).
