Yesterday I was about to start a distance healing on an elder cat when my cat Lorca arrived and offered herself as a surrogate.
Lorca
She climbed into my lap and stayed there for the entire hour of healing. She let me keep my hands on her for the Healing Touch for Animals treatments I was doing for the elder cat, and tolerated strange back-and-forth movements of my hands right next to her. This might not be unusual behavior for another cat, but Lorca was formerly wild. She grew up in a drainpipe at the end of my driveway.
For the few healings I’ve done on Lorca herself, I’ve usually had to do hands-off treatment or keep the hands-on segments brief. The back-and-forth hand movements anywhere near her made her nervous and sometimes she simply left the room. But yesterday was different. She was there to help the elder cat, who seriously needed our help. She lent herself for the job and let me know when it was time to move on to the next hand position or next technique. Lorca also let me know when the session was over—after an hour, she got up from my lap, settled a little ways away from me, and went to sleep. Her healing work was finished.
Until the next client who needs her, that is. I believe I just witnessed the birth of a healer. Thank you, Lorca!
