Bay Area Entrepreneur Kathleen Prasad to Launch Inaugural World Animal Reiki Day to

SAN ANSELMO, Calif. - Jan. 4, 2016 - PRLog -- Entrepreneur, author, animal Reiki leader and animal lover Kathleen Prasad, together with her nonprofit Shelter Animal Reiki Association (SARA), announces the creation of the world’s very first World Animal Reiki Day, to be celebrated on February 5, 2016.

The day’s mission is to raise awareness on a global scale of the healing benefits of Reiki for animals, as well as honor all animals as our spiritual teachers.

“I was inspired by my experience at the 2015 ARC International Reiki Conference in Australia—when so many teachers from different lineages came together in unity for Reiki,” says Prasad. “I thought I would love to see that kind of unity and community in the world for animal Reiki. Just think how we could do so much good for animals all around the world by joining hands with Reiki!”

February 5 is a special day for Prasad—it’s also the birthday of Dakota, a very special puppy she rescued from animal control in 1992. “Since he is my first animal Reiki teacher, this day is also to honor him and his role in leading me on this path,” she says.

On Friday, February 5, from noon to 3 p.m. (PST), Prasad will mark the day by leading a special SARA-sponsored animal Reiki share at BrightHaven Holistic Animal Sanctuary in Sebastopol, California. Then at 1 p.m. on Google+, she will share a live message of healing and light for the global Reiki community, dedicated to the animals of the world. A photo contest will be held on SARA’s Facebook page February 1-4; winners will receive a free treatment or signed copies of Prasad’s books.

Shelters, sanctuaries, animal-welfare organizations, veterinary clinics, animal-related businesses and individuals worldwide who love animals are encouraged to organize World Animal Reiki Day celebrations and events in their local communities. They can also tweet their support with the hashtag #WorldAnimalReikiDay.
