Greetings That Grow

I don't remember if I found her, or if she found me, but I met Anna Sexton, owner of Greetings That Grow on Twitter.com. Many people (maybe that should be read as most?) on Twitter are business owners trying to spread the word in an easy-on-the-budget sort of way (Heck, that's why I'm there!).

There are lots of interesting ideas out there, but I am in LOVE with Anna's products! She makes greeting cards from recycled paper and infuses them with seeds! On the front is a keepsake photograph. Plant the greeting card and in no time you'll have a living memory in the form of herbs, flowers, fruits or veggies!

I know, I know, I'm straying from my normal topic of acupuncture, here. I just couldn't resist sharing this cool, green way of saying "Thank You!" (or "My Condolences" or "Happy Birthday!" or whatever!)

Reiki for your fur babies!

I met Ming a while back on Twitter. It was a natural match, she's a pharmacist who has discovered the power of Reiki and uses it to treat pets!

What is Reiki? Well here's how Ming describes it: "Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) comes from the Japanese Rei and Ki meaning spiritually guided life energy. Reiki for pets is a form of spiritual healing that helps harmonize the mind, body and soul of your pet. It can be used as a treatment for relaxation as well as a tool for releasing negative emotions and limitations. Reiki is not a religion."

She has had great results working with pets from all over the world (yes, Reiki can be performed at a distance!). Because this is a spiritual medicine, she doesn't need to be present for your pet to feel SO much better! Check out her website for some examples of the incredible work she has done! www.ReikiFurBabies.com

There are so many ways to help our pets (and ourselves) become the healthiest they can be and not every method is perfect for every complaint. Maybe your pet would enjoy some Reiki today?
