Conversations with Kaye Smith

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kaye Smith

Hi Kaye, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started my journey with Reiki when I had a foster puppy that was sick and the vets couldn’t figure out what was wrong with him. The Reiki Center works with rescue pets at no charge to the rescue. He was so much calmer and I could see the difference it made in his comfort level. I received a session for myself and begun taking classes in Reiki and Animal Reiki and it was life changing for me. I now feel very blessed to help other people and pets the way that Reiki helped me.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
With anything new, there was a learning curve. You have to do a lot of work on yourself before you can work with others. I learned a lot about myself, both good and bad.

While I was learning Animal Reiki, I realized that it was possible to communicate with animals. Many people think that is amazing that I have this ability, but many don’t understand and it can be difficult to move forward with something you love when it is uncomfortable or difficult for those around you.

Reiki is a very gentle treatment that supports the body’s own healing abilities and creates a positive effect, but the word Reiki in itself makes some people uncomfortable. Energy therapies have been around since basically the beginning of time in most cultures. There are so many myths and fears that it is difficult to get people to understand how helpful it can be for themselves and for animals.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Classes that I teach: Animal Reiki and Communication, Reiki and Reflexology

Sessions that I offer: Animal Reiki and Communication, Pet Problem Solving, Reiki, Reflexology, Guided Release, Past Life Regression and Soul Retrievals.

While I love all of the things that I practice, the sessions with animals are the ones that I look forward to having. Animals are usually so agreeable. Being able to help the pet parent understand why their animal friends do the things they do can help build a much better relationship. Animals have traumas, too, and Reiki can help them to let go of them and learn to trust again.

Sharing Animal Reiki with a pet helps with many things such as anxiety, pain, sleep difficulties, getting along with people or other pets, confidence and so much more! Pets usually leave so relaxed that I call them Reiki drunk and I love how Reiki helps them in so many ways.

Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
Anytime that I ended up around animals! When I think of memories of places I went, I remember the dog that was in the space next to us on vacation or the ducks coming from all around the lake when we fed just one duck. The dragonflies around the pond at the park we went to all of the time. Animals have always brought me so much happiness to be around.

I remember wanting to bring puppies back to our yard from the neighbors yard, as they always had puppies to play with. My mom is allergic to dogs, so we were never able to have our own, but when I look back at pictures that she has from my younger years in so many I am next to a dog.
