Podcast appearances and mentions of kathleen prasad

Join us with special guest Kathleen Prasad as we explore animal Reiki and how it can help your dog.

Kathleen Prasad has been pioneering the field of Animal Reiki for over 22 years. She believes dogs are the ones that have the PhD in healing their own bodies and how adding in reiki can allow the dog to choose and lead their own way to healing.  All animals are healers and teachers so why not they lead their own way to healing.I love this podcast because it helps listeners understand what the difference is between reiki for humans vs reiki for animals. I love when Kathleen talks about what it means to be Reiki and different ways to offer reiki to your animals.  Pus, how offering too much reiki for animals can feel demanding and overwhelming for them. Rather we can learn to see the perfection in the animal and not judging them for what's wrong with them while offering the love, light, peace through reiki. It's so important to accept our animals where they are on their own healing process. Reiki is a great place to explore alternative healing modalities for dog trainers and to expand upon your animal communication skills. There's a great chat on how reiki can enhance a dog trainer or animal communicator's skill set in the podcast you won't want to miss.  Kathleen has taught thousands of animal lovers this sacred healing art, written multiple books on the subject, authored the Code of Ethics for the profession and has created the world's first and only nonprofit called Shelter Animal Reiki Association (SARA) dedicated to bringing the peaceful power of the Let Animals Lead® method to rescued animals and their caregivers around the world. Kathleen is a California girl, wife and mother to a teenager, dog and a horse.Learn the 6 pillars of the let animals lead method and while you're at it Kathleen's offering our listeners a 3 day animal reiki challenge to introduce you to reiki and what Kathleen does.

Join us with special guest Kathleen Prasad as we explore animal Reiki and how it can help your dog.

I spoke to Laura Thomas on Feb 6, 2023. We had a wonderful discussion about intuition, animals and telepathy as well as how her intuition has shown her what she needs to do or where she will be among other things. She also shares her thoughts on working with people with their own intuition or understanding and how she sees that as she does her work and lives her life. BioAs a child, Laura always brought home injured, ill or stray animals; something she stilldoes. Being with animals and helping them is a way of life for her. She has alwaysshared a deep connection, kinship, and understanding with animals, domestic and wild, especially horses.In 2011, after a successful 25-year career as a professional development trainer andmanagement consultant, she left the business world to spend more time with animals.She partnered with a friend to start a pet and farm-sitting business.  Soon after, Reikifound her through a very special mare and changed her life forever! Because ofanother special mare soon after, she began her formal animal communication work.Not long after completing Reiki Master training with Odilia Forlenza (North CarolinaReiki Training Institute), Laura completed trained through Reiki/Animal Reiki Teacherlevel with Kathleen Prasad, Animal Reiki Source, and now practices and teaches herLet Animals Lead® method of Animal Reiki.Laura formally studied animal communication with Anita Curtis and then Thea Stromand Nancy Windheart. She enjoys helping humans and animals understand each otherbetter, problem-solve, and enhance their relationships through animal communication.Currently, Laura is learning everything she can from Dr. Susan Fay, author of SacredSpaces – Communion with the Horse through Science & Spirit about building strong energetic connections with horses. Through Dr. Fay's methods of connecting with horses and truly “listening” to them, all other interactions become almost effortless. Laura has also begun her training in the Masterson Method of Integrated Equine Performance Bodywork®.Laura believes if we give animals a choice and honor their unique preferences in howthey interact with us, whether it be in a healing session, training environment, or just lifein general, the animals show up for us in ways we could never imagine. Everythingbecomes easier and the space is indeed sacred. Laura loves combining her background in training, her deep connection with animals, and her passion for energy work to create life-changing learning experiences for her students. She currently teaches animal communication, Reiki/Animal Reiki Levels I-III, and Energy Healing for Horses.Three horses, a donkey, a llama, one sheep, three dogs, three goats, eleven cats, andmany chickens - most of whom are rescues, as well as various wild animals let Lauralive on their farm in South Carolina.Laura is passionate about animals, nature, and energy work.  She loves helping animalsand humans find healing, peace, understanding, harmony, and balance through energywork and animal communication.Website: 3cedarsreiki.comSupport the show

My view of animal reiki is a little different from most reiki practitioners. I've learned the Let Animals Lead® method by Kathleen Prasad, in which we share space with an animal and let the animal lead the session. Together we focus on meditation and going within for healing, rather than immediately placing our hands on an animal. We let the animal decide how the session will go. I truly believe that a power higher than us connects our souls to each other, the animals, and the earth around us. I see an animal reiki session as an opportunity to quiet our minds, calm our hearts, and sit together for the higher good of the people, and the animals, present.
