From time to time, you will hear people speak about Mercury being “in retrograde”. In simple astronomical terms, Mercury retrograde is an optical illusion. From our vantage point on Earth, the planet Mercury appears to move backwards in the sky for a few weeks. Of course, it is not actually reversing direction; this apparent backward motion is caused by the relative positions and speeds of the Earth and Mercury in their orbits around the Sun.
When a beloved pet faces serious illness, the emotional toll on their human family can be overwhelming. Our greyhound Bond was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and given just two weeks to live. Surgery was not an option. Yet, by providing animal reiki three times a day, Bond lived another nine months, pain-free and surrounded by love. This experience opened our eyes to the powerful role that Reiki can play in supporting animals through health challenges and everyday life.
