Reiki and the Rock Fish
-
"Last Sunday I was out boat diving near Pleasant Harbor in Hood Canal. Being mostly a solo-diver I descended to 90 feet with some buddies then let them fade into the west. Taking my time wondering around a large underwater boulder and enjoying the marine life I came upon a little rock fish that was hovering in a sandy nook. Shining my flashlight down I saw a flash of bright silver. Upon further inspection I could see that the rock fish was held helplessly in place, a 3" hook protruding from its mouth. The hook still had fishing line attached, leading to discarded tackle and lead ball. Not
such a fun way to go; waiting to starve, or for a Giant Pacific Octopus to make a very easy meal of you. Nothing against the octopi, but I've seen them hunt and they certainly don't need any help from careless humans to catch a meal.
"Wanting to lend a hand I reached for the little rock fish. It
startled and tried to move away; the fishing line going taut, most likely the hook sinking deeper. Silently reprimanding myself, I slowed my vibration down and sent the intention of assistance to the little fish. This time reaching out slowly and deliberately, I wrapped my hand gently around the fish and brought it close enough to assess the position of the hook. Lucky it was on the side of its mouth; better chance of recovery than if it had embedded high or low. Saying a prayer that the hook had no, or little, barbing I took hold
of the hook and eased it out. The little rock fish didn't even wiggle as the hook was removed. Since it was resting calmly in my hands, Reiki seemed like a good idea to further increase its odds. Setting the intention for the highest healing good, my hands became toasty warm and I'd swear that the little fish seemed to be enjoying the energy. After a minute I eased my hands away and hovered dumbfounded
as the little fish moved only enough to level out and watch me.
"Having a fish consider me wasn't the oddest experience in my life, but has a good chance of making it to the top 1,000. As the little rock fish moved away I said a prayer of thanks to the sea and all her creatures, for the blessing of being able to join them on occasion and to Rose for her work that made helping the little rock fish with Reiki possible."

Reiki and Veterinary Practice
-
"I am a veterinarian and I met Rose De Dan when my cat was dying of a nasal tumor and I had exhausted all of my traditional medicine alternatives. I believed my cat needed to be put to sleep immediately and I was having a tough time letting go. Rose's gentle healing techniques added months to my cat’s life and eased his transition. I was so amazed at her results I enrolled in her Reiki classes and have been using Reiki as a veterinarian ever since. Its’ healing ability continues to amaze me every day. I have added the skill of animal communication which was not possible for me without the grounding of Reiki. I will always thank Rose for her contributions to my veterinary practice, my wonderful companion, and my life."

Reiki and Dog Disability
-
"I have an 8 year old dachshund named Roxanne. She had back surgery about 4 years ago, and has been slightly disabled since. Since my Reiki class, I have been working on her when we go to bed at night. Today, a month later, she is a different girl. She runs around a lot. She also jumps up on my legs when I'm in the kitchen (begging) and she also puts her paws up on my foot stool and up on my chair—she couldn't do that 2 months ago. Also, our old girl, Lilleth, who also had back surgery and eye surgery, wants to lay in my chair next to me every night. She used to do this occasionally (a few times a month), but now it's every night. I haven't worked on her yet, but I think it's time. I love this stuff!

Reiki Review, Enjoyable and Amazing!
-
"You can't go wrong with Rose! Rose De Dan has a wonderful ability to explain things clearly in a relaxed and enjoyable way. She gets everybody participating in hands-on practice and asking questions, and you can tell that if you didn't understand something, she would explain it another way until you did understand it. She's also a heart-based person whose warmth and joy radiate, so her classes feel like a gathering of friends, even if you've never met before. Rose really knows her stuff, as well - she lives it. There's a saying in South America: "Information isn't knowledge," and Rose De Dan has knowledge, not just information - she has great personal depth of development and real life experience. When you meet Rose, you know right away she's "the real thing." She's also very down to earth, however, and humble - her classes are person-to-person (she's talking with you, not at you), in an atmosphere of caring and laughter. The skills and knowledge you come away with are sound, and the class itself is a joy. If you're not sure whom to study with, I recommend Rose De Dan, hands down."

Reiki and Stroke
-
My 16 y/o Persian, Justine, had a stroke approx. 1 mo. ago, demonstrated by very high blood pressure, and left-sided weakness. I thought it was the end of her earth life, but I took her to the vet. Jussie was prescribed heart medication and aspirin. This occurred on a Friday. Saturday night, I decided I would try Reiki (even though I have little experience with animals except through you). Jussie's body around her rib cage was exceedingly hot. I asked for Reiki healing for her, put my hands on each side of her rib cage. Between my hands and her body, we were on fire. . . the long and short of it was that on Sunday, she had no physical signs of having had a stroke. She walked normally, was eating,
talking to me, etc. I was, and am, amazed!"

Reiki and the Little Bird
-
"Yesterday another bird hit the sliding door with a
great boom sound and ended up on the ground. The cats
all wanted to go out and help him but I told them that
I would take care of him. I was so upset that
immediately call the Deva of healing, they told me
that he was going to be fine and they said to bring
him inside until he recovers, so I asked 'But will he
let me pick him up?' and they said yes, so I went out
with the cat carrier and walked very slowly to where
the bird was and said to him that I was going to pick
him up and to my amazement he looked at me and did not
move.
"I picked him up very gently, put him in the carrier and apologized to him for putting him in the cat's carrier.
"I left him in the bathroom alone for a while until he
started to move around and show signs of activity. I
did some Reiki, too, and when he started to try and fly
around the carrier I told him to keep still so I can
take him out.
"We went outside, and I opened the door and very
slowly he walked out of the carrier, looked at me and
then after a short while he flew away. What a great
feeling to see him fly away."

Reiki and Life Changes
-
"Reiki changed my life. It has helped to empower me and to realize the potential for healing we all have. Rose’s warmth, serenity and sincerity were, and are, what comforted me about my decision to become a Reiki practitioner throughout the training and still. I have been practicing as a Reiki level II for two years. Rose is still there for me when I have questions. As my Reiki Master, she will usher me into a Mastership role myself when it is time. My confidence and respect are strong and I thank the universe for allowing me to find Reiki through Rose."

Reiki II
-
"I REALLY enjoyed Reiki II. There seems to be an endless supply of 'beings' or events that I can send the Reiki to, especially the emotional healing aspect. Going from not knowing Reiki at all, to Reiki I was amazing, going from Reiki I to Reiki II was an even bigger 'WOW,' an even bigger jump! Thank you for sharing what you know and for reminding us that there is a natural connection between all beings (including the earth and universe) at a very base level. A very cool experience indeed!"

Reiki Healing: Safe for Giver & Receiver
-
"Reiki has given me the necessary tools to perform the energy healing I had been attempting on my own for many years, and the distance healing my mother taught me years ago.
"Prior to learning Reiki, if I were to do 'energy work' on say, a friend’s broken thumb, I would feel drained, and sometimes take on a 'mimic pain' in my own thumb! With Reiki, I feel GREAT, and know how to disperse heavy energy without absorbing it myself.
"I knew the second I saw Rose’s Reiki class advertised (in a local publication for pet lovers) that I HAD to be in that class. Animals have always been a very important part of my life, and she was the first person I had ever come across that focused on animals as well as humans.
"I now use Reiki in my everyday life: at work with stressed out animals coming to be groomed, with friends suffering from minor aches and pains, and other situations such as relief for a cat that had been scratching and chewing himself raw for months prior to the Reiki session (veterinary medicine had been ineffective in this case).
"I’ve also found that (even though I’ve yet to take an animal communication class) I have been able to better communicate with my non-human friends much better than I could prior to having Reiki in my life.
"Through Reiki I have met many amazing people, including Rose who is an extraordinary individual who has inspired me greatly in my work with animals."

Reiki for Dogs and People
-
"I have attended both Level I and Level II Reiki classes taught by Rose. Both classes were very organized, fun and enlightening. The skills I learned could be immediately applied to my everyday life and to those beings around me, both human and animal.
"I have been able to help calm down and reduce the stress for dogs that were emotionally upset when their owners were away for an extended period of time. Also, there have been a few occasions when a dog strained a muscle or ligament while running in the yard and have applied Reiki to their point of pain and then literally watched them bounce right back up and continue playing without limping. Another dog with some sort of digestive problem, calmed right down and went back to sleep after a 15 minute session, where under different circumstances without knowing Reiki, I would have rushed them to the vet at 3:00 a.m.
"There have been many, many other cases where I’ve applied Reiki to my friends, family and myself right after an injury and in ALL cases the pain seemed to disappear immediately, there was either minimal or no bruising at the site and the injury healed very quickly.
"Rose has been very supportive after each class by being available to answer questions and to provide gentle reminders as to the different situations where Reiki can be applied. I highly recommend her classes to everyone as Reiki is a very powerful and valuable skill that you can not only share with your loved ones and friends but you can incorporate into your everyday lives and/or profession."

Reiki in the Healing Practice
-
"I took Reiki to heal myself and others. I felt that it would enhance the healing work that I was already doing, and it has changed my life in many ways. I have become a full time massage and energy therapist and Reiki is the foundation that I have built this on.
"My Reiki classes were very enjoyable. The best part of the classes was being able to work not only with people, but also with plants and animals.
"I would recommend Reiki training to everyone!"

Reiki and Horses
-
“I worked on a horse (who) had a tender area…She flinched when I touched it even a little and gave me the hairy eyeball (so to speak). So I did some Reiki on the area for a few minutes and after that she wasn't the least bit tender. She dropped her weight into my hands while I worked and went from being really nervous about me being near the area to totally relaxing into it.”

Benefits of Reiki Level I
-
How does Reiki benefit you in daily life?
"I set my alarm for an hour early and between snooze's I do Reiki on myself. I have noticed the difference in the way animals greet me on my walks. They come up to me and sit down in front of me, I reach down and run my hands
over them...cats and dogs...I have heard owners say to me 'she has never done that before!'...or 'well, I wonder what that was all about?'....in my mind I thank them and they or I continue on our walks."
How does it benefit others?
"My coworkers have noticed a difference in my way of handling things at work. I have done Reiki on coworkers and they have told every person in the office about the hands-on I can do. Out of a five-day work week I do at least two Reiki treatments on coworkers. One coworker ask me today...'Marjie, could you do your Reiki on my shoulder?'…kind of kewl…"
How did your life change after Reiki training?
"My aunt taught me to hands-on heal by taking the pain and channeling it out. She warned me to be careful who I did this for and whom I told about it. It was not a thing you did not so many years ago. When she died of heart failure in 1998; I could not help her. I know I brought her peace in her final minutes, but I could not take it away. It was her time and I could not change that. It feels so good to be able to help people and to talk openly about doing it. I seem to be able to feel the trouble spots on the body through heat coming into my hands. By concentrating on these spots I am able to bring healing or easing of their pain."
What did you really enjoy about the class? Was it fun?
"I was too nervous at my Level I class for it to be fun. The Reiki Share once a month has been fun. I have met the most interesting people from all walks of life...each one has enriched my life so much. I really enjoy the classes because it is people of the same mind sharing what is important to them and to me."
Why would you recommend Reiki training for everyone/anyone?
"For the simple joy of knowing that you can help yourself and other people.
"To bring that peace into their lives is so enriching."

The Grateful Pug
-
"A coworker has a young, 20-ish daughter with a dog (breed, Pug). Like most young people she is living on a shoestring. We dropped by her apartment to drop off some things and I noticed her Pug was dragging his back legs and seemed very lethargic. I asked her how long he had been like this? She answered a couple days and she was taking him into the vets that weekend.
"I asked her if she wanted me to try Reiki on him?
"She answered, 'Yes, please, anything that might help him.'
"I sat on the sofa and asked the dog's permission to work on him. He sat down in front of me and looked up at me with those buggy little eyes of his.
"My coworker and her daughter sat in the chairs across from me. I thought I would be nervous, but as soon as I put my hands on this little creature I forgot they were in the same room.
"I started at his head and worked my way down to his bottom. I could feel heat around his hips and as soon as I found the heat he looked at me. I knew I had found the right spot. I placed my hands on him and left them there for 3 minutes.
"My coworker and her daughter kept saying...'He never sits that still. He has never sat that long for anyone'
"This little guy moved around so I hit the right spots. Every time he would move I would leave my hands in place again for 3 minutes. I was in the shape of a pretzel by the time he moved away. He smartly marched right into the kitchen to eat, which he had not done for almost two days prior to the Reiki. He then ran back into the living room and bounced up on his owners lap and my coworkers lap. He then came and sat in front of me and just looked up at me.
"I announced out loud to him...'You are welcome, my friend.'
"My coworker just stared at me, but the daughter had tears in her eyes and came and gave me a big hug and said, 'Thank you.'
“That was really nice. I felt good inside and pumped up for the rest of the night. This had been my first Reiki healing on an animal and to do it in front of a coworker and her family and to see the results immediately like that. Well, you could not have wiped the smile off my face if you had tried. It spread from ear to ear.
"As I write this testimony it has been over a month and half and my coworker daily tells me how well he is doing. Her daughter tells everyone that will listen about Reiki. I am proud, inside and out that I could help and I hope at least one person that hears her story will think about it and follow up with Reiki training.”
