I posted this on another thread in RLL: http://www.reikilearninglounge.com/permission-reiki-f11/reiki-treatment-the-need-for-permission-t31-45.htm#1609 post #47
This is a story I relayed on Reiki-4-All about a year or two ago. This was during the time of my Reiki master apprenticeship, just after it had started. I had just started offering free sessions to many people so that I could accomplish the 100 hours of Reiki sessions that my RMT required. I had been talking to my dad on the phone on my way home from a session with a terminally ill cancer patient. I had never felt the energy as strongly or significantly as I had that evening, so I wanted to discuss it with my dad.
I got home and was till on the phone with my dad, and walked downstairs to the basement I was renting from a friend, and a mouse was sitting there. It saw me and ran into the closet. Well I didn’t want a mouse in the closet, so I opened the bifold door and it ran out and sat just under the corner of my couch. I could still see it. It looked more curious than scared for some reason.
So I went upstairs and got something I could put over the mouse and some stiff card stock I could slide under it, so I could put it outside. It wasn’t going to be easy with the mouse under the couch, so I called out, “come on outta there little buddy,” and it came out from under the couch and looked up at me with its big beady eyes. I put the cup over it, slide under the card stock, all the while holding the phone with my shoulder to my ear having a conversation with my dad. The mouse almost got out, but wasn’t being violent or nasty about it. I put him outside and then didn’t think about him.
The next morning before my RMT was to arrive, I saw him walking around by my loveseat as I was sitting on the couch. I looked at him, and he looked at me. I gestured towards myself and said, “come on over here.” He did. I was flabberghasted. The mouse came over and hunkered down by my foot. So I reached down and petted him on the head with the tip of my index finger. He didn’t seem to mind. So I reached down and let him crawl into my hand. This again flabberghasted me. I played with him in my hands, letting him crawl around my fingers and such. He nuzzled the cracks between my fingers and gnawed a bit on my finger nails. So I got up and took him outside again.
Then I thought to myself. Shoot, this had to be a sign. I should have given the mouse Reiki. So I decided that if he showed up again, I would give him Reiki. Not 15 minutes after my RMT had left, I saw him in the hallway-like area between my living area and my bedroom. So I walked up, he did not run, and put my hand down and he crawled into my palm again. At first he appeared quite agitated and I wondered if he was going to bite me or pee on me or something. But when I sat down and did Reiki for him, he immediately fell asleep. When I was done, after about 10 minutes or so, I took him outside again, and had to latterly jostle him to get him off of my hand and onto the log pile.
I’d like to add, that I attuned the mouse that day.
