How Food Choices Can Support Our Animal Reiki Practice

This Thursday is Thanksgiving in the United States, a day that often centers around the eating of a stuffed turkey.

Probably never? Well, here’s a reason to celebrate: The bison was recently named the national mammal of the United States by President Obama! The law he signed—the National Bison Legacy Act—doesn’t offer any new protections to bison (also known as buffalo), but it does raise their status to that of an official symbol of America, similar to the bald eagle …

Simple ways to support the adorable sloth

Have I mentioned how much I love sloths? One of my dreams, in fact, is one day to share Reiki with a sloth. (If only I could be so lucky!)
