 Hi everybody, Lisa Larson here, Animal Communicator and Energy Healer, which is what we're talking about today. Energy Healing is one of the services that I offer. Specifically, I offer both Reiki and Shamanic Healing. Those are the two energy healings that we're going to be talking about today, and I'm here with Alicia Aletrieste. Alicia, how are you? Pretty good. How are you? Fine, thank you. I'm glad that you're bringing this for your viewers, because I noticed that a lot of people, they don't know what is energy healing. They don't know or experience, you know, the energy healing, especially with animals. So I was wondering if you can explain a little bit more about Reiki. Yeah, Reiki is probably the most well-known energy healing modality and what it is, it's the simplest thing in the world. You take energy from the universe and you send it into the body and you send it into the body for physical healing, for emotional healing, for balancing. So people will call me to do Reiki for things like animals who have high anxiety or who are going into surgery or coming out of surgery, recovering from surgery, and it's just a simple thing. You're connecting with energy. You're connecting with the universe, with the positive energy of the universe, and you're sending it into the body. It's just another form of healing that you can add to all of the different things that are out there, which we can talk about it in another time, but these are the two that I do, Reiki and Shamanic healing. But it's a great resource and I get good feedback from my clients. Yeah, and you know what, I think it's very important if you can please explain to us between what is Reiki and Shamanic healing, because I don't think a lot of people know about the Shamanic healing. Yeah, that's true. So basically all energy healing is similar because you're really connecting to energy of the universe, energy of the person or the animal that you're working with. But I'll start by just very briefly describing what Shamanism is. Shamanism has a lot of things under its umbrella, but one of the things that Shamanism does is help people or help animals heal themselves. I'd probably say that for me Shamanism uses more balancing than Reiki does, but all of them have their own advantages. Yes, because I noticed that with every, like you say, every energy modality is balancing, right? That I'm right. For example, one thing that I remember that you say that is not very much into the energy is about the one experience that you had that I would love for you to share with your viewers is when you grok the cat under the house. Oh, groking. Yes, I forgot to mention groking. Groking is a Shamanic healing technique. And normally when I grok in a healing session, what I do is I merge my energy with the animal so that I can I like to try to reset the subconscious, what we call the coup in Huna, which is my Shamanic view. And we try to reset things so that what I will do is I will merge my energy with them, see through their eyes. Maybe I'll give them. Maybe if they have a problem with being afraid of somebody coming into the house, I'll merge my energy with them. And I'll imagine somebody coming into the house and I will show them what it feels like to be calm. So that's what groking is. But I used it in a different technique, for a different reason with an animal. His name was Nibbler. He was an eight month old kitten and he had gotten stuck underneath the house. He had gone into one of those, you know, those things underneath the house where they have the wire, like a little piece of, you know, and there's wire under it. Well, the wire had been cut away or something like that. And he got under there. And for two and a half days, almost three days, they had been trying to lure him out and they couldn't lure him out with food. And they had one spot that they had had a trap set up so that if he came out that way, he'd go into a trap. And then as I was on the phone with the parents, I had told them that one of the things was that I saw when he went in there that he was afraid to come out because the wire was poking out from the inside. So he was afraid to come through all those sharp ends of the wire. So I told the dad, go cut that stuff all away so there's a clear space there. So he went in and did that and this was really urgent because it was getting to be nighttime and that if he would spend one more night without food, he would have probably gone into organ failure. So this was really serious. And so he had gone, he had cut some stuff away. It was getting dark. He had gone again then to get a flashlight. And I was talking to mom on the phone and I said, OK, well, I'm not going to explain to you what I'm going to do, but let me do something. And I was going to, I told her I'm going to grok him. I'm not going to explain what it is right now. But as I was on the phone, I started groking him and walking him towards that area, towards that place where he needs to come out. And I was telling him, you know, when you get to the other side, your mommy and daddy are going to be there to hug you and all of this stuff. And I tried to get him to walk towards the part where the trap was. And he was like, no, I don't want to go into that trap. And I said, OK, well, let's go over here. And this was as I was talking to her and I was telling mom, I'm having him do this. I'm having him do that. And I told him to walk over there. Mom's going to be outside when you get there. And as I was telling him to do that, I hear on the phone, oh, my God, he's coming out. He's coming out. He's coming out. And so it's usually not so immediate, something that I see the results so immediately. But that was whereas it's usually a healing technique. I mean, I guess in some ways it was healing because it was healing his fear, you know. And I got him to walk out as I was doing it, as I was groking him. And and she she sent me pictures afterwards of how happy it was to be inside. And actually, I talked to her. That was about a year, year and a half ago. And I talked to one of her other animals a few months ago and he's just doing great. So yeah, I thank you for bringing that up. That's I love that story. Yeah, I love the story. When I heard the first time in one of your classes, I was like, oh, my God. So I told everybody your your story, you know. Yeah, and that's love it. I love it. Yeah, but mostly the reason that people call me for energy healing would be things like my animal is has separation anxiety or they're just naturally terrified. They've been they've been abused. So they've got real anxiety issues or maybe, you know, a lot of times people will call me my animals at the vet, the emergency vet right now. So can we give him some support and do some energy healing or like I say, maybe when they're recovering or, you know, so it's physical and emotional problems that that I work with, but that's that's why I will do it. And for me, you know, I always mix the two. So it's not as though somebody will order just Reiki from me or just Shamanic healing. I have a thing where I will do I'll start off with Reiki and then I do some Shamanic healing and then I actually do some healing, which I would consider Shamanic healing. It was something that I learned from a healer in Canada. And I'm not talking about healers like anybody around here. It's like once in a lifetime type of healer, but it's kind of Shamanic healing. And so I get in there. I there's certain things that I do for every animal, like the Reiki and something called Kahi, which is a Shamanic technique. But then I kind of get in there and I normally will grok, but it just depends on once I connect and see what the problem is with the animal. I will maybe kind of shift what I do to see what I feel they need at that point. And then afterwards I will email the person and say, you know, I did this technique and this is the way it felt and I did that technique and this is the way that that felt. So the person doesn't have to be on the phone with me. I mean, it was unusual for me to do something like that grokking with with somebody on the phone. Usually I just do your animals can be wherever they want to be, wherever they're comfortable at any point. And I sit down and I do it and I email afterwards and I say, this is the way that it felt. This is, you know, and we maybe come up with a plan. Sometimes people will just want one session. Other times people will, you know, want a series of sessions because they feel that it's working for their animal. Yeah. And I think that a lot of people are going to have a lot of questions about this. So I invite your viewers to put your questions here. Please answer the questions and comments, experiences with healing. Yes. Right. So we can share the experience with other people. And and that that that is an amazing subject that you brought this podcast.
