When Mia, a spirited Paint horse, was found lying alone in her paddockrolling restlessly and refusing foodher owner knew something was wrong. Colic, a common yet distressing condition in horses, often requires swift intervention. Thats when they called me.
The Session
As I approached Mia who was lying on the ground, I immediately sensed an energetic blockage around her belly as she shifted uncomfortably on the ground. With her owners permission, I began a Reiki session, focusing on channeling universal energy to the affected area. Within moments, I felt a subtle shifta release of tensionand assured the owner, Things are a bit better now.
To our relief, Mia stood up, walked over to her owner, and soon passed gas, a promising sign of digestive relief. Minutes later, she produced wet manure, signaling her gut was moving again. Her owner offered water, and Mia drank eagerly.
The Aftermath
While her physical symptoms improved, my energy scan revealed Mias vitality was low, as if she were still holding onto the memory of pain. I gently placed my hands near her head, directing Reiki energy to her brain to ease emotional residue from the ordeal. Gradually, her demeanor softened, and she seemed to release the lingering stress.
Eventually, the owner gave Mia a muscle relaxant to help her body relax and return to natural health. Another 10 minutes later, we gave her a handful of hay, which she accepted well. Encouraged by her response, we offered another handful, and soon she was demanding more.
The owner then brought Mia's morning net-bag of hay, which she hadnt finished earlier, and Mia devoured it eagerly. This marked a significant milestone in her recovery, as she began to regain her appetite and normal digestive function.
Reflections on Holistic Healing
This experience highlighted the interconnectedness of physical and emotional healing. While traditional colic treatmentslike medical interventions or surgeryare critical in severe cases, Reiki served as a gentle complement to support Mias recovery. By addressing both her physical discomfort and emotional distress, we witnessed a holistic return to balance.
Key Takeaways
- Energy Awareness: Reiki can identify and address energetic blockages linked to physical issues.
- Emotional Release: Pain often leaves an emotional imprint; energy healing may help animals process and let go.
- Collaborative Care: Integrative approaches (Reiki + veterinary guidance) can enhance well-being.
Mias story reminds us that healing isnt just about fixing the bodyits about nurturing the whole being. Whether through hands-on energy work or medical intervention, the goal remains the same: restoring harmony and health.
Always consult a veterinarian for colic symptoms, as prompt medical care is essential. Reiki should complement, not replace, professional treatment. This article is for entertainment and education purposes, it is not intended to treat, diagnose, prescribe, or heal any condition.🌸
