Animal Paradise - Communication & Healing
Newsletter
Winter 2008/2009
 Greetings!
 
The holiday season is here and I wish you and your animal companions much love, joy, good health and good communication.
 
I am happy to announce a new format for the Animal Paradise newsletter. Beginning with this edition the newsletter will be published quarterly. In addition to news and events about Animal Paradise - Communication & Healing there will be a new feature that I am very excited about, starting in this edition. Each edition will include short stories about animal communication and/or animal Reiki written by people like you. (Please see below for detailed information about story/article submission.) This will be a fun way to learn what others are doing and experiencing in the world of animal communication as well as animal Reiki.
 
Wishing you and your animal friends peace, love and joy this holiday season.
 
Happy New Year!
All my best - Janet

The Manger Angel
by Janet Dobbs
Reiki Trees fall 2008  
A feeling of total peace came over me as I sat on the floor of a barn at Spring Farm CARES animal sanctuary in upstate New York on a perfect fall morning. Each year during the holidays, the season of peace and joy, I am always taken back to the time that I was shown what it must have been like in the manger at the time Jesus was born.  
 
 
Magic, miracles & Reiki at TREES  
Reiki Trees fall 2008
by Janet Dobbs
 
Every time I go to TREES (Traveller's Rest Equine Elders Sanctuary) something magical takes place. The residents of TREES are such amazing teachers. I would like to share with you some of the special moments that we experienced in October 2008 during the final day of a two-day human/animal Reiki level 1 course.  
Simone
By Stacy Weibley 

About ten years ago, I met Simone. At the time, she was scrawny, disheveled, and one-eyed, all of which belied her true elegance and splendor. Someone had left her and her sister, emaciated, oozing with infection, and gasping for breath, in a chicken bucket to die. I was asked if I wanted to take them in and, if they survived, foster them until a permanent home could be found. My dear Belle, the love of my life at the time, had just passed away and I felt emotionally unprepared for new cats in my life- regardless, an immediate "yes" emitted from my lips, in a voice which I was not even sure was my own.
 

Share your animal communication and animal Reiki stories

I am looking for people who are communicating with animals and/or working with Reiki and animals and have stories to share. Many of you have wonderful stories that you have shared with me about your experiences with your animals. By sharing your stories in this newsletter you will encourage and inspire others to open to their animal friends.

In memory of my dearest "singing" Sam.
Sammy crossed the Rainbow Bridge December 29, 2007. This year has been the worst of times and the best of times for me, but not one day goes by without me missing you, my boy. I was blessed with 13 of the most wonderful years of my life. Sammy loved life and approached it full steam ahead, wide-eyed and filled with joy for each and every moment. Some of you remember him when he jumped up on the Reiki table and began teaching the level one class. He loved Reiki. This past year he accompanied Cleo to every course that I taught. He reminded me to keep the humor in everything.. Sometimes we are blessed to have a very special human or animal come into our lives. One that shares all of our joys and sorrows and is your heart and soul. That is who Sam was and continues to be for me. During the holidays last year he taught us to live in the moment. He was very serious about that message. He didn't want us to worry about what "might" be, but to instead totally focus on the moment and live in the joy, happiness and contentment. We are each blessed to have the animals in our lives to teach us and love us as only they can do, unconditionally.
 
Wishing you and your animal friends a very Happy New Year filled with good health and happiness.
