ep 10: animal reiki, chicken coop meditation + the pugs meet the chickens! | rural farm life

Join the girlie-goos and I for a beautiful summer day on the farm with the chickens & horses at Cedar View Acres.
I was recently awarded the Dakota Scholarship, created by Kathleen Prasad from Animal Reiki Source.
Over the next several weeks, I'll be working my way through Level 1 of the Let Animals Lead method of Animal Reiki, and in todays vlog, I thought we could begin practicing by meditating with the chickens in their coop 🙂
We also cook some good food, visit with the horses Lena and Spoon, and spend time with the baby chicks as well.
Thank you so much for watching 💙

:: about the channel ::
Hi, I'm Brandy 👩🏻‍💻🌿 I create authentic lifestyle vlogs about rural living, nature, the outdoors, and natural health & wellness. I also like to talk about creativity and my own KZbin journey so far.
I live in the beautiful & wild West Kootenays of interior British Columbia with my partner and two senior pug sisters, Fern & Ivy, while my heart & soul dog Jonas continues to guide my heart from above. My dogs are my babies 🐾
My big dream is to one day find the perfect piece of land to build a small off-grid homestead so I can surround myself with animals, grow and cook my own food, and learn more about animal husbandry and self-sufficient living.
For now, I'm just doing what little I can after losing it all, while never giving up hope for a better future.

I'm so curious - have any of you guys ever meditated with (or for) your pets/animals before?

[@lisagrande9266]

@@grumblefarm .. yes doing yoga with a pug in the vicinity is a whole vibe . Surely you know of this 🥰

[@grumblefarm]

Haha. I remember hosting a public “POGA” event many moons ago for a fundraiser, and it was *quite* impossible to get into the “zone” 😅

The chickens starting their day is just so freaking delightful. All the sounds…pecking, clucking, doggies eating their food and making yum yum sounds. 🥰🥹never realized how adorable chickens basking in the sun would be and agree with those above about Ivy’s rope 🧡🧡 and chicken nipples.lololololol one more thing, the soundtrack is perfection. ❤️🧡💙

I have never tried to meditate with my brother’s chugs, pugs or jug. I may try the next time I am asked to pup sit my furry nephews. I have not had a reiki session before, but would not be adverse to having one done. Those chickens were so funny stretching their legs out. There was one chicken that kept falling over.😂😂😂 I have to say it was funny watching the reaction of the chickens when you were sitting in their coop. I am loving the wonderful job you are doing editing and the music is great. Very peaceful.

Omg , the chickens sun bathing 😅❤

[@grumblefarm]

ISN’T THAT THE CUTEST THING?!?! They stick their legs right out!! It’s a whole vibe hahaha I love them so much

I think everyone needs a Happy Belly Roooope! ❤

[@grumblefarm]

Should I……. Should I make some and sell them in Grumble Farm’s store? Like for humans? Hahaha

I’ll admit that meditating is something I know the value of. But that I don’t do a lot. If I do, I end up using a biohacking device I have that plays vibrations on my chest to calm the vagal nerve while the app plays nature or relaxation music. So just by the fact that I need a device tells me that I should meditate more often. Maybe I will try meditating with the two 2 year old puglets that my mom acquired last week from a lady needing to re-home them. That should go about as easily as doing it with chickens. They are so sweet, but still puppyish so they will go crazy on me if I sit on the ground. Petting horses would really relax me and be meditative, I think, but none of those in my area. I admire your persistence of writing every day. I fail every time I try it but maybe one day it will stick. Loving the chickie footage. I sort of thought that Heinz might sing cock-a-doodle-doo-hey, but he sounds just like our rooster here. Mayonnaise the pirate chicken is adorable! It just came to me that there is a condiments theme of their names- Mayo, PB, Heinz. LOL Poopoo pants baby chicken! You telling them “we’ll have breakfast” tomorrow is interesting based on your beautifully fried eggs over the burger (and the delicious scramble the girlies had) earlier in the morn. Great video, almost sad to see you leave this cute little farm. On to the next adventure! Oh, I love the new Grumble Farm hoodie I received for my birthday! Wishes do come true. Especially when I'm very specific in my hints. LOL. 💙

Im so excited for you Brandy . Your submission video was excellent. Cant wait to watch the reiki show ❤

[@grumblefarm]

Eeeep thank you Lisa! It's funny how I've been feeling way more confident on-camera when filming these KZbin vlogs, but the second I turned on my camera to film that video submission I got all weird and anxious and said "Ummmmm" like a thousand times hahaha. I think it's because I had to cram everything into 2-3 minutes which I am NOT good at doing! AT ALL! Are you familiar with Reiki at all or have you ever had a (human) session?!

[@lisagrande9266]

@@grumblefarm . I am familiar with Reiki and have had a couple sessions in the past. I am into anything that can help us navigate our way through this life

[@grumblefarm]

@@lisagrande9266 Absolutely, me too. It's been a long time since I've had a Reiki session on myself but, they're so calming and relaxing. In a perfect world I would take myself to a nice, long Reiki session once a week!

Chicken Nipples. That is all. Resume your day. 😂♥

@@BigHesh81 this might be your best comment yet. And that’s saying something 😂

Beautiful location to do your reiki course in. Hope it is going well

Exactly, I thought so, too - so quiet and peaceful 😌
